concessions granted subsidies paid and
taxes remitted by the government Of
Mexico to corporations and monopolies.
The government of Mexico has recently
entered into n contract with the West
ern Union Telegraph company and the
Mexican Cable company, both owned
and controlled in the United States,
whereby an absolute monopoly of all
communication by wire with foreign
countries is bestowed upon them.
For n message to any part of the
United States they are empowered to
charge S1.75 in gold for ten words and
- cents in gold for each additional
word, and for kilograms from the Unit
ed States to any part of Mexico 81. S5 in
gold, with 16 cents in gold additional
for each word above ten. A special rate,
which would be an exorbitantly high
one in the United States, is given the
Mexican newspapers, and the contract
compels the payment by the newspapers
for their entire outside service in gold
to companies chartered by the Mexican
government and with established offices
and complete equipment here. This fur
ther illustrates the fact that the cheap
silver currency of Mexico is for the pay
ment Of wages to workingmen and to
farmers for their produce, but is not for
the importers and exporters or the gov
ernment favored corporations
1t is we'll remarked in recent num-
ber of The Mexican Financier that
"the common people are not asking for
concessions or salaried places or social
distinctions at the hands of General
Diaz, and they are the most loyal
friends I've has" Very true it is that the
common people of Mexico are not ask
ing for concessions or salaried places or
social distinction. They know by long
experience that salaried places are at
the disposal of the wealth of Mexico,
that social distinction is barred from
them by their poverty and wretchedness,
which are increased and perpetuated by
government policies.
Taxes to Pay Subsidies.
In his letter eulogizing the Mexican
government and its financial policy it
will be remembered that Mr.. BRYAN
made no reference to tho most conspic-
nous feature of Mexico's financial policy,
its subsidy granting, monopoly form
ing, capital favoring characteristics,
which add to the power of an edict from
the palace even while they add to the
poverty Of the masses from whose toll
all are being enriched in Mexico save
the toilers themselves. 1t may be q mat
ter of some interest TO my readers to
learn how the generous subsidies are
provided for. In the first place, Mexico
has schedule of import duties several
hundred per cent in excess of the tariff
duties of the present Dingley bill in the
United States on many staple articles.

COMPANY OF NAVAL MILITIA.
Its Commander Applies to Commits
slOners for Information.


Mr. C. ]. Weinheimer of No. 629 Maryland
avenue southwest has formed company of
naval militia. In a letter recently address
ed to the District Commissioners he ex-
pressed the desire of his organization to
enter the District Naval Reserves and ask
ed how they might be mustered in. In re-
plying to Mr.. Weinheimer the Commission
ers state that the act of May II, 1898, au-
thorizing the organization of a naval bat
TALON in the District of Columbia prescribes
that the militia law of the District shall
apply to the naval battalion In all matters
not otherwise specially provided for.
The Commissioners declare, further, that
as the act contains special reference to
the subject of Mr.. Weinheimers inquiry
and as the local militia law makes the
President of the United States the COM
mander-in-chief of the District militia, the
Commissioners are of the opinion that the
Secretary of War is the proper official to
furnish the desired information. The Com
mssioRers have apparently no jurisdiction
