SIDE LINE FOR CONDUCTORS.


 Who Run Into Mexico.
 Speaking of incidental earnings of Pullman car employees, the Pullman con- ductors who have run in and out of Mexico have "side line" that, in com parison, a big fat pension is nowhere. As money broker or exchanger, the average banker can not begin to com pete with him in business transacted and profits footed up. This is how he gets in his good work Every tourist who goes to Mexico from the United States gets large amount of his mon- ey changed into Mexican coin. The Pullman conductor knows this as we'll as any one, and to oblige the travelling patron he always keeps surplus of the free silver on hand. He favOrs the traveller with the Mexican currency without necssitating the latter to get it on the ''border." but does he ex- change even minus the exchange? Never! A double margin is charged one for the trouble of handling the money and the other to protect himself against any possible rise in the price of silver on the New York market. And on his return trip the accomidat- ing Pullman representative is in the same business. He is amply supplied with United States currency for the purpose of assisting the home-bound tourist in getting rid of his superhuous Mexican dollars ata rate of exchange quite different from that received when entering.the foreign country. It is an- other double margin for the tex change" says the Railway Journal. The Pullman conductors are not in the exchange" bushes solely for accom- modation, which fact many a tourist to Mexico will attest.
