MEXICO NOT DISTURBED

If there ever were a time and place
for misgiving as to silver, Mexico today
furnishes the example. The gold prem
ium is away above par, and the Mexican
dollar is worth only little more than
S4 cents On the face of it this looks
bad. Exchange is at a point where
importers have practically to give uI
business. Are they frightened out OF
their propriety? That depends.
If an importer is a citizen of some
foreign country. with no interest in Mex
leo beyond the money he may make II
selling goods of foreign manufacture
and then he ships the gains to the coun-
try where the goods are made, he is
naturally perturbed at the advance in
exchange, for it means the loss of al
most all his business.
But If the merchant is a patriotic
Mexican, he never loses his courage foi
a moment. He wires to his connections
abroad to cancel all orders in then
hands, as the price of exchange prohibits
business with foreign countries. Then
he turns around and wires to Mexican
factories to let him hear at once what
goods in what quantities and at what
prices they can supply him. to take tht
he is cut off.
The result on. Mexican industries is
magical. The gap made by the curtail-
ing of imports must be filed, and the
domestic factories must do it. stim-
ulus is given to domestic manufactures
which means more men employed mors
money put in circulation, better prices
for raw material, and all the money
kept at home. 1t is a natural result OF
economic conditions 1t requires no arti-
ficial influence from the passage of laws
in restraint of trade. There is no stimu-
latipg of production beyond natural re-
quirements and the prosperity comes
to stay.
For years silver men have been trying
to teach the American people that free
coinage would furnish protection t.
American industries in a far more eff
fective way than unnatural protective
tariffs which favor a few and discrim-
mate against the many. This silver
business Is broad, general law which
effects all alike and gives no favored
clique any advantage over the others
Mexico is not disturbed about the cost
of foreign. exchange or the premium
on gold coin created by the laws of Eu-
rope and for the benefit of Europe and
to the detriment of Mexico. She only
needs gold to pay for foreign made goods
and the less she has of these the bette.
for her. Foreigners will still buy hel
coffee, her tobacco and her sugar. They
will pay for it in their artificially appre.
ciated gold, and each dollar of it will
become two the moment it touches
Mexican soil. Instead of Europe's havins

UPON THE KLoNDYKE RIVER

Do you recall the time last year,
Upon the Klondyke river,
We thirsted for glass of beer,
And shook with many shiver?
I oft since then have wondered why
For gold in Natures quiver,
She did not have a wedge of pie
Upon the Klondyke river.
Our boat kept measure with it's oar,
Till one September morning
The river froze from shore to shore
Without a minutes warning,
And cut our commissary SO,
We didn't have silver
OF anything to eat but snow
Upon the Klondyke river.
We'd dug four tons of gold week,
And piled it all around u.s.
Into a glittering yellow peak,
Just as the winter downed US;
And when the summer come once more,
Although 1t seemed it never
Would come again. We were dead sore
Upon the Klondyke river.
For not a speck of dust had we,
OF all we had collected,
Because, by gravy, don't you see,
Twas not as we expected,
For grub was needed right along,
And stuff to stop a shiver,
And pound for pound" the suffers song
Upon the Klondyke river.
So when the warm had killed the cold
And winter time was over,
We'd eaten all our pile of gold,
And still were not in clover,
Because we owed board bill yet,
Which, with our best endeavor,
Will wipe the wad this year we'll get
Upon the Klondyke river.

A GOOD SPEECH

The address of Mr.. Harvey j. Hollister
of Grand Rapids, Mich. in the bankers
convention at Detroit was upon broader
lines than the speeches generally made
at such gatherings. 1t is the general
opinion that bankers conventions are
held for the sole purpose Of devising
plans for promoting the profits of banks
in disregard of the general welfare. or
for the purpose of forming and perpetu-
ating bank trust. Mr.. Hollister recog-
nizes the obligation of banks to the pub
lie and holds that banking cannot be sue
cessful unless it is conducted to promote
legitimate business enterprises and ig-
nores speculation altogether.
He points out that while there has
been wonderful development through
the agency of associated wealth, the
growth of poverty at the same time has
been immense, and he ascribes it to i'm
proper management He quotes with ap-
proval what had been said by another,
''but the time will come when human in
telligence will rise to mastery over
poverty and define the relations of the
state to the property it protects, as we'll
as the obligations and the limits Of the
ciety are paramount to individual inter-
ests, and the two must be brought into
just and harmonious relations"

ctot,d bx, Mr. uollietar 10 q p,,hlir hIeS.
sing. Bankers are not the enemies of
society that some agitators delight to
paint them on the contrary, the great
majority Is composed of men who
due consideration the public interests.
In fact, their own best interests are pro-
NOTED through such considerations. No
doubt encouragement of speculation has
wrecked some banks, and the. passion
to gain wealth rapidly has been the
cause of occasional embezzlements and
defalcations.
Association Of capital naturally ex-
cites suspicion, and tends to promote as
sociation of labor, and if such capital Is
unconSclonably used luminosity Will re-
suit. Recognition of the principles enun-
ciated by Mr.. Hollister will not only re-
move prejudices but will render bank
ing popular. The American people are
not unjust, but they are ready to concedc
and support what is useful to the
masses. Bankers and money lenders
have it in their power to dispel the an
tagonism which exists between labor
and capital and which is so obstructive
to general prosperity. Let all classes
have their fair share of produced wealth
1t is American and 1t is just
