MExIco,s MONEY.


Some months ago the Republic Of Mex
leo issued gold bonds to take up outstand-
ing silver bonds representing her funded
debt.
The change made in the money character
f, OF the new bonds--from silver to gold
caused much hilarty among the single
standard people and the incident was used
for all it was worth till the people found
cut that the change was made simply be-
cause Mexlco's creditors were foolish
enough to propose to give her a much less
rate of interest IL she would make the new
bonds payable in gold. Mexico has both
gold and silver, and, as the change would
cost nothing, but on the contrary, save
the government several thousand dollars
per annum in interest, the new bonds were
issued in gold. j, was simply a business
transaction, and one, too, where all the
profit seems to have figured on the debtors
side OF the bargain.
Speaking OF the silver bonds OF that
country the Mexico Herald, an English
paper published at the capital of that
country, has this to say:
Mexeo's silver bonds are well scattered
over Europe, where they have been very
popular with small investors, and. at quoted
prices, return most satisfactory interest
For several years the demand for every issue
OF the silver bonds OF this government has
Deen constant one, and the holders have had
no reason to regret their investment. 1t has
all along been a curious commentary on the
distrnst felt by bankers abroad regarding
silver that the silver securities of a Latin
American Nation should be bought with such
evident eaeerness
singular feature of the above para
graph is that 1t is from paper that is not
an advocate Of blmetallism, as we under
stand 1t in the United States. but takes
the position that silver as a money metal
Is as valuable as gold, and that instead of
forcing silver up by an established ratio
we should allow silver TO increase In yslue
by force of It's own growth in popularity
In the marts Of the world, because as the
people become more enlightened they learn
10 appreciate silver as they should, and
II VIII naturally, in due course of time
stand side by side with gold.
This may be a very pretty theory In the
eyes OF the people Of Mexico, but the pep
pie OF the United States believe that silver
and gold were intended to be running
mates in the monetary markets of the
world from the beginning of time, and
would always have been SO but for vicious
legislation on the part of those who had
the greed of the few instead Of the benefit
OF the many at heart.

HAVE CONCEALED NOTHING.
REPORTS ABOUT YELLOW FEVER
HAVE BEEN SENSATIONAL.
ohey Have Caused the Departm en-
Much Unnecessary Annoyance
and Worry.

Havana, July 12.-The yellow fever
alarms of the past few weeks have caused
the department great deal of annoyance
AS rule they have been due to sensa-
tional and unreliable news. No attempt
whatever has been made by General Lud-
low or the sanitary authorities to main
tain secrecy regarding the facts. On the
contrary, the fullest publicity is given
and every hosuital is open TO inspection, all
Inquiries by properly accredited CORE
spondents are promptly answered and
every effort to discover suspected cases is
welcomed.
Surgeon Major Davis agrees with Gen
eral Ludlow that It is criminal 20 conceal
the facts,
The total number of cases OF fever In
Havana this year is seventeen, including
three brought here in SHIPS. For these
the city is not answerabie and the authorI-
ties have always protested against the
barracks where such cases are treated
The total number of deaths for the year
from yellow fever Is seven.
