 The Star asks why so many Mexicans are leaving the United States for Mexico? Their government Is aiding the movement.
 The Star asks why the present immigration is from gold standard countries to silver standard countries. Because the latter are new, land is cheap and rapid development prom ises speedy fortune. In Mexico good orange land with water for irrigation can be bought for fifty dollars per acre iii silver. The same quality of land in California or Florida com mands one hundred dollars per acre in gold. A nah who wants that kind of land can get four acres for the same money he would pay for one in California or Florida.
 Is it not plain that the Star is an- swered in the above? Every point our contemporary has made is clearly explained on other grounds than the difference between the monetary systems of the two countries.

SPEAKING before the literary socie- ties of the University of Virginia, MT. Bryan recently said "the one need of the people is a currency good every where, which will not fuctuate in value, and which is as good as any other in the world" If Bryan means what he says this puts him in the ranks of the gold standard men. Gold, and money convertible directly into gold make the only currency which meets these tests.

AEEAsTERN exchange states that during the American revolution an English magazine published an esti- mate of the future population of the North American colonies. Placing the population then at 100000 and assuming that it would double itself every 9 years, the writer estimated that in the year 1890 the number would have increased to 64,OOO,OO This may be taken as most remarka- ply prophecy, inasmuch as the census of 1890 fixes the total population at 62,622, 250.

derful prosperity of our sister republic than the procession of the equinoxes has influenced it. Mexico's states men understand all this, and many Of them are now studying the monetary problem with view to adoption of the single gold standard in their own country, and TIE OASIS here ventures a prediction that Mexico will adopt the gold standard before the United States will go to a silver standard by adopting free coinage. Not that Mexico will cease to coin silver. She will coin more than ever, as does the United States. But it will all be coined for government account, and every dollar will be worth dollar in gold.
 In this connection it is well to cor rect a popular notion that Mexico coins no gold A great deal of the bullion sent from Mexican mines to Mexican hints contains both gold and silver. The two metals are separated, coined and returned to their owners with deduction of the seignorage. Bnt the gold tne owners immediately ship to San Francisco, New York, London or Paris, for there it commands a pre- mium. When Mexico adopts the rational plan of coining silver for government account and keeps the silver dollar at a parity with gold, as in the United States, gold will cease to be exported except for the ordinary requirements of trade, and with the business of the country on a gold basis there would ensue general fall in prices of everything but labor which would immediately improve the condition Uf the laboring popula' tion.
 The last point brings up another reply to the Stars inquiry as to why foreign capital is going into Mexico the cheapness of labor, which is great factor in mining operation. In the United States an underground miner gets three dollars gold per day In Mexico the same class of labor is never paid more than one dollar and fifty cents per day in silver. while iu some parts of the republic the re numeration is only fifty cents per day With ample protection assured by stable government, capitalist given his choice between two mines Oi known equal productiyeness, oa the one hand labor for the work of de velopment and operation demanding three dollars gold per day, and on the other the same class of labor working for twenty-five per cent of that price can the Star see any reason why tho Mexican mine should not be preferred for an investment? Should Mexico go to gold basis, the difference ir the cost of labor would be changed from three-fourths to only one-hali at a jump; and as the excellent scheme of public education in Mexico projected by President Diaz and hi associates, progresses, and the mlneri in Mexico learn the value of associa tion, they will bring about pressure upon capital which will cause dis appearance of the other one-half 1T the difference between the rate O mine wages in the two countries.
 And the point just elucidated aboy' calls up another point which give Mexico the preference for investment over the United States, viz: the trac liability of labor. At Hermosillo, no long ago, a mining operator, recalling

ONE MAN POWER.
Mr. Dayton Says That is the Issue in the
Greater New York Campaign.

New York, October 15.-The letter of
acceptance of ex- Postmaster Charles W.
Dayton for comptroller on the Thomas
Jefferson Democracy ticket, was made
public tonight. After accepting the
nomination and promising if elected to
fulfill the duties of the office to the best
of his ability, he says:
s'I deem the main issue in the
municipal. campaign now confronting the
people, to be whether Crokerism shall for
the next four years rule our Greater city.
By Crokerism, | mean an imperious
government in the hands of one man who
administers a principality solely through
the agency of personal favorites, subser-
yiency to his will, wishes and purposes,
being the essential test of fitness for office.
Until the people shall decide otherwise,
1 refuse to believe that this magnificent
city it's great future, it's affairs and its
treasury will be placed in the hands OF
any self constituted ruler.
"At all events, rejoice at the opor.

COLBY SENIOR MISSING.
Son of Major House of Augusta Believed
to Have Committed Suicide.

Augusta, October. ia report reached
this city last evening that Ralph H.
House of this city, student in the senior
class at Colby university at Waterville,
had mysteriously disappeared. His faith
er, Major G. j. House has just returned
from Wateryille and says that Ralph was
last seen at recitation at g. 80 a. M, Fri
day, October 8, and since that time he
has neither been seen or heard from.
The only theory that Major House can
advance in regard to the disappearance
is that Ralph has committed suicide.
Ralph House was graduate of Cony
High school of the class Of 1894, standing
at the head of his class, entering college
the same fall, where he stood high in his
class. His habits were irreproachable,
as all who know him will testify. 1t is
thought that his mind may have become
unbalanced by hard study.
