something to Think About.

SOmetn1nx TO THINK ABOUT.
In his address in St. Paul Mr..
Eustis set forth some facts and figures
that are worthy of consideration by
those who are still loud in their
praises of free silver. We extract the
following from his remarks:
"Why should you and l, who have
neither gold nor silver mines, worry
about the ratio? What we want is the
best money in the world, and plenty OF
it. That we now have. Since 1896
Russia and Japan have adopted the
single gold standard. Only two ma
tions of any note go it alone on the
silver basis-China and Mexico.
"Speaking of Mexico, I found when
there few months ago a theory ad-
vanced by the republicans in '96 dem
onstrated We all know that free sill
yer, coined in any other ratio than the
market value, drives out gold, but we
did not know from experience that in
the REIMBURSEMENT of prices to cheap
money that wages are the last to rise.
In Mexico wages are today substan.
TALLY the same as when gold and sill
yer exchanged at par. In March last
the exchange was 214.
1.-TWO or three examples will give a
sufficient idea of the condition of wages
in Mexico, the Eldorado of free silver
advocates. In the City of Mexico,
with population of 300, 900, they have
5000 police. Their pay is 81 per day
in silver, and until 1897 it had been
but * cents per day, extending un,
changed beyond the time when ex'
change was at par. They are paid on
every morning, it takes thirty-two men
to do it, each gets his Mexican silver
dollar. In this, the first city of the
republic, the fremen receive the same
wages as the policemen. These are
the highest wages paid for these SER
vices in Mexico.
CAT Guadalahara found weight
men working on hotel in progress Of

proposed reception, telling him that about
5000 invitations had been issued. and that
it was simply intended that the visitors

the only one would be that of Corporal
Tanner The latter was not present, as
