snand his financial secretary to
perfect the necessary details for this
important change. Then let it be
submitted to the Mexican congress
10 be enacted into law Then the
whole project will be done and done
right.
see by my last New York Trib-
une that the Mexican commission
now in London has about completed
negotiations with capitalists for
many millions OF gold and other
guarantees to bolster up the present
silver system of Mexico, by estab-
fishing the value of the eagle dollar
at so cents. 1 believe these ne
gotiations will prove to be the
greatest farce and damaging blum
der, politically and otherwise, that
has happened 10 MEXICO curing the
past-centUry.
Now to finish my argument on
this subject, 1 will say to Mexico;
Call home your commissioners sent
abroad to beg for assistance, for
you have all the material you need
at hand, at home on and in the
ground. Ninety days, or twelve
months at most, Of energetic work
on lines I have indicated will place
Mexico on a permanent monetary
basis equal to any nation on earth.

Mexico's Monetary System.
The Dilemma OF Her Financiers.
Suggestions for Permanent
Relief.

Nov is the day for the authorities
OF Mexico to act in the matter of
regulating her finances on a stable
basis. No time should be lost in
effecting and briefng the details of
a new monetary system for adop-
ton by a Mexican congress.
Then will be time enough to put
the artists, the minis, the printing
presses at work turningout the new
standard pesos. Now is the time
for President Diaz to act and educ
ate his people for this change. 1t
would further and forever distin-
guish him as the hero Of his time if
he would emphatically declare as
President Harrison was wont to do
in his day, that he wanted the
value of the rich mans dollar and
the poor mans dollar, whether it
be paper or metal, the same, equal
in ali its aliquot parts, from the
dollar down to the cent and half
cent.
Nothing more, nothing less, will
satisfy the demands Of the Mexican
people. Please stick a pin right
here, and in the future see if ] am
not right. Before l close this sub

portant points which undoubtedly
would accrue to the advantage Of
Mexico upon the adoption Of the
policy I have outlined.

DEGREES gold to be the standard of
value.
This makes fat money par ex-
cellence. Fiat means from the
highest authority. Some foolish
people in Mexico and elsewhere APP
pear to be half scared 10 death,
fearing a double standard of the
white metal will be set up, causing
great financial confusion and dis
credit Of the honor of the country.
Such persons mainly belong to
small class of loony would-be capt
taIists and money brokers who deal
in 100 per cent security loans with
big interest. Such Shylocks only
serve as dead weights to the pro-
gress of any country.
Double Standard forsoothl
Mexico will not be scared out of
her senses by any such bugbears as
as that. Oh, no, thenew standard,
or the universal dollar that is to
be, is the goal the progressive peo-
pie Of Mexico are aiming to arrive
at today, and l believe they will
succeed, and that too in the near
future.
In the mean time business and
traffic OF the country can be just as
correctly and easily carried on with
the old and new coins circulating
together as it is now done with only
the old. No confusion in business
need be feared for one moment
from the change. The difference in
the value Of the coins, although Of
equal weight and size will be easily
distinguished by the new designs
which viii embellish the coins.
If adopted, for instance, thenoble
Indian features of the immortal
Juarez; also those of President
/ Diaz. and the date for one side Of
the new coins-this done, could
there be any mistake in their re-
cognition? None at all, that I can
perceive. The new coins viii nat

100 cents to the dollar, while heold

Verify, verify the dear old eigle
dollar seems to be a back number
and I fear It mustremain SO during
I this century.
Tt is undeniable that an unior-
tuuate dilemma for Mexico in hel
financial affairs exists. For two
decades she has been ike blind

Elan and Gilbert s. Hatch and Or. Bry-

governor also listened TO an appeal by
Attorney William r. Hall 10 pay the .'e-
ward offered for the capture of HawOrth
10 Howard Kennedy.
Attorney Hall was not permitted to con
clude his speech. tor the statements ne
made i'm behalf OF his client were directly
opposite in many instances 20 the story
told by Kennedy himself. The LAWYER
maintained tnat keuueCy. when he fyyak-
encd Haworth at O'Clock the Sunday
morning he was captured Immediately
recognized him. sent word 10 the local
authorities OF his discovery and took an
actual hand i'm the capture.
The governor remarked TO the attorney
THAT he was eflCenUr not ON very init
mate terms with his client relative 10 mis-
story. or else be would not have mad e
the statements which he did. He suggest
ed that Attorney Hail return TO Holiday
and discuss the matter with Kennedy be-
fore he made another argument sOr "a pOr,

The HatCh brothers. who actually ar
rested Lynch. claim that Dr. Stringham
iS not cnutled TO a third of the money.

that the minute he saw the escaped con-
