EASILY EXPLAINED.

such prosperity in the Republic or Mexico AS since the absolute demon itaization Of silver in the United States. Why is this? Again, why is if that thousands of Mexicans are leaving the United States and return inp to Mexico since the demonitiza- tion of silver in the United StatesY Why is there an increase of immigra- tion to all countries using silver as money metel, and this immigration IS all from countries under thegold stand ard? There is a cause for all this. Will our single standard advocates explain?-Tucson Star.
 The inquiries of the Star can be ex- plained "as easily as rolling off log.
 In the first place about the time that the United States "demonetized silvern-e established sound currency is the correct term-Pordr Diaz, one of the greatest soldiers and states men of the age, succeeded in cousolida- ting the liberal elements of society Tn Mexico, and with their aid es- tablished strong government which has since then given Mexico peace. That was what the country needed
 With her vast virgin resources she was withal poverty stricken and help less because of internicine strife and confusion. Every ambitious political leader who could command a follow ing was ever ready to promulgate a pronunciamiento and inaugurate re- volution, through which he aimed to seat himself in the governcrship Of his state, and defy the authority or the general government. Successful for day, week, or month, he would be deposed by another reyolutionist, who would shortly follow his prede- cessor into obscurity at the point Of the bayonet. The list of governors of any Mexican state from the institu- tion of national independence to the accession of President Diaz is longer than the list of the kings of England from the time of the Saxon heptarchy to Queen Victoria. Each succeeding state executive immediately levied a forced loan which was never repaid upon all residents he could find who had money. Business everywhere was paralyzed, enterprise languished, in- dustry was without employment, and the fairest and naturally most wealthy region in the world was sunk into the very depths of abject poverty. Presi. dent Diaz has changed all that. Un- der his wise administration and strong government the revolutlonist has become a law abiding citizen and the manufacture Of pronuncia- mientos has ceased to be the chief in. dustry of the country. In every state the government is stable and effective. administrations serve theiT full terms and at their close the transfers to their respective success sors are made under all the forms Of law and with all due ceremony Forced loans are no longer leyled ano whenever any change in taxation i' proposed those interested are invited to visit the state capital for full anc free conference with the executive and legislative body, in which arc discussed openly the extent and in
 fluence of the proposed notifications the necessities therefor and the best means for attaining the needed results. It is this improved condl tion brought about by Porfrio Diai which has made Mexico so fruitful field for investment Of foreign capital
 The natural resources were there before and their development would have given capital invested thereir
