MR. TAYLOR, ex-minister to Spain,
has gained no credit either at home or
abroad by his recent published article
in respect of the Cuban question. AS
he has lust closed his official relations
with that question, due regard for the
proprieties of diplomacy would have
sealed his lips in respect OF 1t until a
settlement could have been effected,
peaceably or otherwise. But this gov
eminent never was noted for its diplo'
macy, except that of the shirt sleeve
kind. In view of the conspicuous and
urgent need OF diplomatic school in
this country, why one has not been
established is passing strange. But, as
is the case with trades in the United
States nowadays, people take up d.
plomacy without the slightest previous
training, under the delusive idea that
diplomats as well az carpenters are
10 n, not made.

The MEN who did not vote last Tues

it will be Offset either by that of an ig.

IrMBECILE (9) MEXICO.


The gold-bugs lay great strength
on the security of their position in
comparing our country under the
GOLD standard and Mexico with the
silver, and quote our one dollar in
gold being worth two o. her silver
ones: while our silver dollar, back
ed by our gold, is also worth two
of her silver dollars. A mighty ar
p1nnent was this in the last Nation
al campaign, and at least one in
telligent gentleman from Shreve-
port was converted from silver
advocate to a supporter OF Mekin-
ley.
But to show that Mexico has a
very strong argument on its side of
the question, we quote from prl-
yate letter. written from Mexico, to
friend in our city:
Yes. this country is reaping a
rich benefit from the gold standard
OF the United States. In fact it is
worth stacks OF millions to this
country. We are shipping fruits,
poultry. produce. pottery, iron
castings. fire. brick, leather, hides,
and cotton yarns right into the
richest States in America and
drawing wealth from the United
States to Mexico in a constant
stream. The only benefit the Uni
ted States is getting out OF it is in
! the machinery she sells us, and
this same machinery serves to
manufacture articles the cost of
which is paid in silver, the manu-
featured articles then shipped to
your country and sold to you
chumps for your gold. You call us
Me1icans Indians and poems, but
we are willing to be called such
names by people enjoying a re-
publican form of government and
voting upon themselves an admin
istration pledged to money sys-
tenn that has the effect of driving
from your country factories, sme1t-
ing furnaces, fruit growers, rail-
road builders, and hundreds of like
industries, and doubling every dol
lars worth of Mexican product that
is marketed on your soil. We are
willing to be called an inferior ma
ton by a people who pay us two
dollars for each one oflours sent to
you in the form of EXPORTS
