troll It's own coinage, TO Issue It's gold
and silver certificates and coins upon
terms of legal equality and to redeem
them upon the same terms at the option
of the holder. Here in Mexico differ
ent governmental policy prevails rela-
tive to coming and issuing legal curren-
cy-the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver, so persistently demanded by GER
tain sections and certain factions i'll the
United States. The government mints
of Mexico are at the disposal of whom
soever desires to use them for coinage
purposes, the payment of the mint
charges, which are the same TO all, be-
ing the only requisite preliminary, and
the addition of this mint charge is the
only added value the Mexican dollar
secures through being changed from
bullion into coin.
An Absurd Argument.
"But the government Of Mexico is
weak and impotent compared to that of
the United States" it is urged by ad-
vocates of free silver, "and the credit
of our country is great enough to make
its currency good. Here is one of the
most deceptive and most absurd argu-
ments in the entire category of free sill
yer sophistry. Under the free coinage
system the credit of a country has alb
solutely nothing TO do with the value
Of its coins. It's mints are open to the
people of all nations; it receives bullion
from friend or foe, places the govern
ment stamp upon it and returns it to its
owner unchanged in value to do with
as he may please. The credit of Mexico
is good today in all the money markets
of the world. It's receipts left a satisfac-
tory surplus last year over all its ex-
penses and interest charges, and yet the
business men of this country look into
the papers every morning to ascertain at
what value they shall compute the free
silver dollar in their business transac-
tions of that day. The credit or strength
of the United States would have no
more TO do with the value Of silver un-
der the free coinage system than has the
credit of Mexico with the silver now
coined in its mints, and the value of
the silver dollar there under such n sys-
tenn would depend entirely upon the
market valuc of the bullion silver it
contained, as does the value of the free
coinage dollar here in Mexico.
If it shall be asked, Why is it true
that in Mexico and elsewhere the bull
lion in the silver dollar which formerly
was worth more than the gold in the
gold dollar is now worth but Al or 40
cents? 1 will reply by presenting the
very best and most satisfactory of rea-
sons--that silver can be produced and is
being produced in quantities equal TO
the worlds demand at a cost, includ-
ing fortune making profits, which gov
erns its worldwide market value. In
The Mexican Financier of February of
the present year this statement is made !:
What has built mp and made Mexico what &c
is today2 IL IL not agriculture that has done
it, for this Is not great agricultural country
We need more agriculture in connection with
mining enterprise, but the mines are really
the backbone Of the reuublio. Tha low nrioa 81

to believe that free coinage would make
a piece of silver worth 45 cents equal to
81 in gold, when the same free coinage
could not and did not make 9S cents
worth of silver equal to 81 in gold from
179s to 1885. The free coinage of silver
does not affect its market value in Mex
leo, just as it did not affect it in our
own country in the experience of the
past, and silver monometallism, with
Its necessary accompaniment of loss to
labor and all who may be compelled TO
accept it at its assumed value, will be
tho result of the adoption of the deplor-
able policy in the United States which
is in existence here in Mexico today.
