What Silver IL Doing.

While the financial situation in this
country is growing steadily worse, the
reports that come from the countries
that use silver as standard money show
that they are steadily growing in pros
perity.
President Raoul, who has charge of
large railway interests in Mexico, re-
turns from that country and informs our
merchants and business men that all
interests i'll Mexico are prosperous; that
industrial development is proceeding at
rapid rate and that foreign capital is
flowing in at satisfactory rate
MIR. James D. Collins Of Atlanta, who
went to Costa RIGA believing in the eff
ficiency Of the gold standard, returns q
convert to the free coinage Of silver. He
found business of all kinds on q boom in
that South American republic, and hay
ing the keen instincts Of successful
business man had no difficulty In per
ceiving that the trouble with his own
country was the constantly increasing
valuo Of gold and the constantly in
creasing purchasing power of the gold
dollar.
In everything that pertains to civili-
zatlon and social advancement the Unit
ed States has tremendous advantage
over Mexico and tho South American re-
publlcs, but in the matter Of money
these republics have such tremendous
advantage over the United States that
while business here is practically smoth-
cred and suppressed by the gold stand
ard it is booming i'll the countries that
employ silver as their money Of final
redemption.-Atl Constitution.
