MEXICO AND INVESTMENTS.

One OF the notable money movements
OF the day IS the continued flow OF capt
tai, not only from Europe but also from
the United States, into Mexico for invest
ment and improvement purposes. There
appears 10 be no trouble to the south OF
US in Obtaining outside financial aid.
The Topeka state journal, UP In Kansas,
contained the Information the other day
that another big crowd OF Topeka people
are about to invest their capital In Mex
leo" Then the STATE Journal makes this
significant commeat:
II is funny tina, tens OF millions OF
American money Is rushing to Mexico
hen Mexico Is Oh silver basis. Is IL
not? Very many OF these iIcitiS1l IN.
yastOrs tell US that II We want foreign
capital invested Ia the United states, in
Kansas in Topeka, We mast stay on
vold basis. Mexico on silver basis with
her much rdiculed dollars is getting al
the capital there Is to invest and Kansas
doesn't get smell.
II does look funny"
In security " Investment the American
States present far more attractive fell;
IN promise OF good profits the field IS fully
as attractive; the resources and oppor-
tunities here are greater than In Mexico.
and yet 1t 10 unieniatle that money is
passing through the Western United
States wtth never Il thought of stopping.

The fact demonstrates that capital, after
ALL even Eastern American capitol. is not
AFRAID OF a silver basis country and a
foreign and FAR inferior country besides

CoUNTERFEITING DOLLARS.

C0UNTERFEITlNG DOLLARS.
Treasury officials are in a worse
opanG than ever over the question
Of fhow to stop the couuterfeitipg of sill
yer coins. Ii has been assertaiaed and
nroyed TO their great satisfaction that
tbe expensive engraved dies used for
s,smpiug the coin ca be duplicated at
triaiug expense from the coin itself,
by what is known as the "hot metal"
process.
These mot metal" dies will do as
good work as will the engraved dies,
the ouly difference being that they have
not as long life. A set of these dies
was made by mint employee in Phil
sdelphia, and coins were struck from
them 50 perfect that they witbstood all
tests. This was done at the suggestion
and in the presence of mint officials,
who doubted the possibility of the feat.
Tae conclusion is reached that coun-
terteiting is being carried on extensive
IL in several places. Occasionally
counterfeit coin is found to be Of
different fneness from the standard
GOD fine, or of different weight, but
since 1t otherwise defies the tests the
inference is plain that by making the
coin 900 fine and of just the right
weight, any quantity of counter
ieit silver can be coined and tloated
with safety from detection.
No change of device will afford any
protection. so lorg as millions of the
old coius are outstanding, nor has any
device been suggested which in reality
offers any great difficulty for counter
ieiterS TO overcome.
Where the counterfeiting is being
done is equally Il mystery. L the di-
rector of the mint had directly under
mis- control number OF special
officers he might be able TO break up
the gang of operators, but the secret
service is a separate branch and has so
far proven unable to grapple with the
situation.
When it is remembered that the thou
sands of internal revenue officers and
deputy marshals can only in degree
check the masking of moonshine whisky
it ia small wopder that the Immensely
profitable work of couuterfeiting silver
coin should be rapidly developing.
There is strong suspicion that ma
cninery from some of the numerous iu-
dependent Mexican mints, which have
of recent years been bought in and
closed by the Mexican Government, has
been transported to quiet places in the
mountains in the vicinity of one of the
railroads and near the border line, and
that its output gets across the line IN
the form of United States dollars.
1t is an easy matter to dispose OF
coins which defy Treasury experts, and
there does not seem to be any remedy
for the situation except free coinage.
