INDUSTRIAL MEXICO.


Slowly but surely the Industries OF Mex
leo are being built up to a point where the
13.Ooo.oo0 Mexicans will not only be able to
supply their own wants but will enjoy
large export trade to Central America and
TO the South American republics along tho
western coast OF the southern half OF this
Hemisphere

1t Is worthy OF special notice that the in

rapidly than in Texas---that capital 1umps

The simple truth is that the silver basis.

growth and prosperity. We are sometimes

down there is only about a third of the per

circulation and equally distributed. while
here the bulk OF the money is cornered aud
congested In one section.

since, President Cleveland put down the
strike by the use Of the regular army. and
over the protest OF the then governor OF
the State! The ground OF Mr.. Cleveland's
Interference was that the strike was an
interruption of commerce between the
S,atee and an obstacle to the transmits
sion of the mails. matters over which the
Federal government had jurisdiction.
When the authority for this action by the
president was questioned In the supreme
court of the United States. the court held
| expressly that the army could be used at
| the powers or functions OF the general
government. and that any disturbance Of
order affecting the domestic commerce OF
the country was proper occasion for Fed
cral Intervention and the use OF Federal
| troops.
This was a broad decision, leaving TO the
| discretion OF the president or war depart
ment the determination OF the question as to
| when the use OF the army would BE- proper.

The danger that would arise from the

mistake OF the legislature In naming the
first Tuesday in November for voting on
one Of the proposed amendments, instead
Of on the second Tuesday when the gen.

The first amendment to be considered au-
thorizes the legislature TO vote pensions "

widow was married TO Confederate SOL
