Az osJEor LESSON on SILVER.
The Situation In Mexico Interesting 10
Wage Farmers.

Director Of the Mint Preston said In a
recent statement that there was nothing
surprising in the report from Mexico that
the agricultural and manufacturing
classes Of that country opposed a change
IN the currency policy and that In conso-
quence President Diaz would not recon-
mend a change In his forthcoming mes
sage to the Mexican Congress. nothwith-
standing the embarrassment caused the
Government by the great fan IN the price
Of silver.
Mr.. Preston pointed out that while the
Mexican Treasury and Mexican corpora
tons having foreign indebtedness found
it more difficult to meet their interest
payments as silver fell and foreign exc
change rose, Mexican ogriculturists enc
gagged in raising products which they oX-
ported were actual gamers by the depre-
citation In silver, because they were paid
In gold for their exports by their foreign
customers while they continued Co rav
their laborers in silver. their labor thus
costing them less and less as the value
or the white metal fell This was true.
because wages were not increased 10 on p
set the declining purchasing power of the
dollar.
Hence IL was very natural that the age
ricultural classes of Mexico should oppose
any step I'm the direction Of putting the
country on "a gold basis. because such
change would bring about IN increase
IN the wages OF labor and clrtlu the
profits Of the planters.
While the manufacturers OF Mexico Mr..
Preston said. did not export any cons.d-
cradle amount OF their products as fr
as the question OF wages went. their in-
terests We're practically identical with
those Of the planters. A change from a
silver basis TO a gold basis would soon
force the manufacturers to increase tho
prices of their products and to pay h.ehor
wages.
This would work 10 their dis8dv1utaro
I'm two ways: First as The prices of
Mexican manufactured products increased
there would De q chance for f0re'm
manufacturers 20 get into the markets
Of Mexico. unless tar.n duties were raised
still higher than they are now Second.
the increase in tho rate of wages brought
about by going 90 the gold standard
would curtail the manuf7cturors' profits
and produce a general disturbance of in-
dustrIal conditions which the employers
OF labor could not regard with favor
The whole situation Mr. Preston said.
IN conclusion. was another object lesson
for American wage-earncrs ON tho di-8d-
vantage Of an unstable and deprecated
currency.

The recuperative powers Of the city of
Charleston are truly wonderful Within
the past several years it has once been
almost destroyed by an earthquake. and
again most seriously damaged by storm.
and yet there are to-day no signs of
either Of these disasters. but on the con
trary the business of the city is better
than ever.
THIS News and Courier recently got
out a trade edition, in which It was shown
that the total business of the year end
ing August Slst last was about 81. 200. 900.
showing an increase Of about $500 900
over that of the previous year. THIS in
spite of the fact that cotton was worth
about 81 a bale less last year than the
year before and one half Of the increase
IN trade was from cotton. The trade in
fertilizers increased more than a million
dollars. and the increase IN the iobbing
trade was about 100000 Exports in
creased Is per cent, and imports 95 per
cent
All this is due to the snap and enter
prise OF the Charleston people Last year
when the country was stirred from one
end to the other by a great political up-
heaval and everybody was crying calam-
lily. the people Of Charleston inaugurated
an Industrial movement. and went TO
work in spite OF the adverse conditions

The important fact about yellow fever
Is this:
The yellow fever germ cannot become
active except I'm a temperature Of no least
10-sOme experts say S0-degrees Fahren-
heit, maintained for at least ten days.
At this season no such temperature Is
likely to be maintained for so long a
time. even in New orleans. Further north
it would be- phenomenal.
Again. the first sharp frost always kills
yellow fever. and. although few people at
the North realize the fact. sharp frosts
nearly always occur at the South I'm Oc-
tober, and usually before the middle Of
that month.
There is not the slightest danger OF n
disastrous outbreak Of yellow fever any
