In all the newspaper? and in a lars 3 number of pollttral argument? of the eampatgn Just ended, the republic of Mexico has been referred to. and the monetary •yatem and the moral, ?oclal and lndu«trlal conJitlone of that country have been made the eubject of much adverse critic'am. Having been in the republic of Mexfico much of the time for the past twelve years, and being somewhat familiar with the progress made by that country since 1184, I wish to furnish a few fact? for the ‘information of those who are Ignorant of. or who have been misinformed concerning our sister republic and the Mexican p-tople. Mexico, as is well known, is a free coinage country. **»d, as far as my knowledge extends, but few of the business men I there desire any change in the financial aystem of the government In this respect. A radical change In the financial policy and the currency of .any couRtry Is certain to result in disaster to all kinds of busijress until trade can adjust Itself Iq the new conditions. As to Mexico, the progress of that country ami the remarkable development of her resources during the past

fsw years furnish overpowering argu- J UP) 'ments to business men against any such a there is seen a manufacturing movement

Mexican cotton goods are now being sold at $1.20 less per piece than British cotton. Mexican mills now compete with European cotton goods on tiie coast of South Africa, and an ex- j l>ort trade into adjacent s Iver-using countries is growing Into importance.

change. In 1880, with silver at par with gold, or practically no. there wer* but 2M) mile* of «team railway In opermxhm In that repttbMc—that being the road between the City of Mexico and Vera Cruz—built by the English for the purpose of securing and controUlnff the trade of Mexico. Today, more than eight thousand miles of road are In successful operation, and work 'la being prosecuted on several hundred 'miles of road not yet ready for the trains. In a recant interview Secretary Shaw, of the Cincinnati Board of Trade, said: "People have a vague and hazy Idea of Mexico. ,It Is a coming country. They are buying Ivarioue kinds of machinery to work Mexican products. Their trade Is valuable, not only to the Queen City, but to the entire United States. During tbe past few months contracts for eighteen railroads to ,penetrate her fastnesses have been let.” * Within the pest two months a charter has been granted to Chicago capitalists to construct a railroad 1,260 miles in length, from a point on the boundary between Old and iMew Mexico, to a port on the Pacific coast, the Msxtcan government granting a bonus of 812.000 a mile, payable as the work progresses. It is undoubtedly true that within the coming two years largely more mileage will be added to the small and sparsely populated republic of Mexico Than to that of her populous and wealthy

nnighbor of the north.

The System of Telegraph Lines. This railroad system has been supplemented by a very complete system of .telegraph lines—other than those owned land used by the railroads—all under control of the Government, by which all the States and cities, and nearly all the Important towns, have been brought into instant communication with the Federal capital. The telegraph lines now under Government control measure more than 28,800 miles. Any observer of public events during tbe past twenty years can see the wisdom of the policy of those In power In providing these means of rapid .communication with all the people. Prior to the Introduction of railroads and telegraphs Into Mexico, a revolution was a thing of almost yearly occurrence. Even at this time the foreigner's first thought concerning Mexico Is that it la a land where internal strife prevails, and where the lawless disposition of the people renders travel hazardous and property unsafe. This might have been a partially correct view more than fifteen years ago. but a very Incorrect and unjust one at this time. There has been no internal disturbance in Mexico for a score of years that was worthy the name of revo-

lution.

President Benito Juarez was a great executive, and his administration brought order out of confusion, separated church and state, and established peace in the republic. Porflrlo Dias, the present executive, Is a thorough soldier and a man of great force of character. He hag been wise enough and liberal enough to encourage the Introduction of capital from any and all countries for the development of the resources of his own. He has, by this policy, largely overcome the former prejudice of his people against foreigners and foreign inventions. He has made good use of every Offered opportunity for the establishment of manufacturing industries and the building up of the trade of the country. How admirably he has succeeded In all these efforts Is attested by the profound peace that now exists, and has prevailed, without serious Intemip-

tbroughout the republic which parallel? , that of Japan, whose progress is arous- | ing the Interest of the entire white race." People of Ilio Conntry Employed. In all these industries the people of the | country are employed, much to their ?a;j iafaction and financial betterment. For- | eign capital has found safe and remunerative Investment In industrial establishments of various kinds. To the extent of the growth of this home manufacture have foreign purchases been decreased, and the producers of the United States have, of course, suffered, the greater portion of the loss. My first visit to Mexico was In mi. Since then I have spent much time m that country. Each year there has been a noticeable Improvement in the condition of the people and in the general business of the country. Poverty is not so painfully conspicuous as in former years, although there is much of it yet to be seen. Until quite recently there were in Mexico no "poor-houses," no homes for the aged, indigent and friendless, no refuges where the poor and their wretchednesss might be hidden from the public gaze. The worst Is on the surl ce there. Beggars are numerous, but possibly not more so than in any other country where the public Is not largely taxed to hide them and provide for their wants. But In the matter of public charity Mexico Is making progress. In some places homes are provided for the aged, friendless and afflicted. The asylums for orphan children, which have been established in the larger cities, are models their construction and internal arrangement, and the personal appearance of their Inmates elicits favorable comment from visiting strangers. Building Ip Home Industries. The history of Mexico for the past ten years is a record of the building up and fostering of home industries, the extension of Internal and foreign trade, and the betterment of the conditions of ail the people, morally, socially and intellectually. Whatever the cause, the results are apparent. It is plain to every careful observer that, as far as the educational and industrial conditions in Mexico are concerned, “there is daylight

everywhere."

What portion of these good results— or whether any or all these changes for the better In Mexico—may be the result of a silver foundation for the currency of the country, it is not my purpose to discuss. Certain it is that no person, or combination of persons, has attempted to corner silver—the only money of redemption, the legal tender of trade—there are no sudden fluctuations In monetary circles—none of those violent contractions and expansions of the currency which in the United States, bring financial ruin, at Irregular Intervals to so many of bur people, and, up to this time, there have been no bank panics, ending in general disaster, such as are experienced in this country with distressing regularity. There is very little dissatisfaction In Mexico with the existing financial situation, and no uneasiness concerning the future prosperity of the country. But there is a general desire that the present gold policy of the United States may be continued for an Indefinite time, for, in the permanency of that policy—a policy which prohibits them from making extensive purchases in any gold country—the people of Mexico think they see their opportunity for the building up of their own Industries, thereby being enabled to furnish employment to thousands who heretofore have had no permanent occupation. They expect soon to be giving employment to all their laborers in supplying products formerly purchased j abroad, and In this way keep much money j at home for further development.

What u Banker Saya.

A banker of Mexico, & gentleman largely interested In manufacturing industries In that country, said to me but two months ago; "The success of the silver party of the United States in the conning election would be disastrous to the business interest of Mexico, and would greatly retard her industrial development. We need merchand'ae and machinery that we can not afford to Import while our currency Is so largely discounted. We have an abundance of raw material, and we have j cheap labor. The foreign capitalists are taking advantage of there two necessary factors in the production if goods and machinery, and capAal from abroad ie establishing very many industries in, our growing republic. Give us ten years of j the existing financial conditions of i tha two countries, and we shall have so 1 established our manufacturing industries : that,with the cheap labor at our command. 1 we will be able to aell our products in all j your markets. If not shut out by a tariff, i

The attention, concentrated on one point for a time, at last sue- j cumbfl to this strange influence, and approves that which, before, is condemned. It is this which accounts for the power of a speaker over Ins audience, and for the success of a proposition made to a community, when pushed with activity and persisted in aga.nst all opposition. It ts not many years since coal tar, the principal by-product o£ gas works, was regarded as a nuisance. Then the question was, what to do with it. But science has wrought a revolution, and there seems, now, to be no limit to the uses of coal tar. It furnishes tiie dyes with the most beautiful colors and the physician with many kinds of meliclne, and there are other less important nses, so that the crude material finds a ready market at a price equal to about 2ft per cent, of the cost of the coal used, -.. hereas, previously, it could not be given away. Another by-product of gas-works is commercial ammenia, from widen it is estimated that 50 per cent, of the cost of the coal Is realized. This leaves only 30 per cent, to be charged to 'he gas account. If experience demonstrates the druth of these estimates, there oug.it to be, soon, a radical reduction in !he price of gas.

The Banking Business.

The record of the banking business In Mexico shows but one failure during the past twenty years, and this one failure was an Institution managed by American "financiers," and was, doubtless, organized on a speculative basis. The principal financial corporation In Mexico is the National Bank, with a capital of J20.000,ftftO and a large surplus, it has branches In all the important citlee of the country, and, while always affording amide accommodations to business men. It has been under conservative and prudent management. It has earned handsome dividends—averaging 17 per cent per annum—end has carried to tbe surplus fund about 8400,008 each year. The Bank of Ivondoo and Mexico is another strong hanking institution, older than the Natloohl Bank, with a capital of 15,000,000, and Its buslxxas la vea-y extensive, but doss not extend over the great territory covered by tbe National and its branches. Tte International and Mortgage Bank hie a capital of *,000,00*. These three

Miss Appel asserts that this new’ pursuit for women is one that requires tact and practical cc-mmon sense, as well as a 1Ltle knowdedge of business principles. "My branch needs practical originality,” she declares. "Many designs offered on the market are good, and have artistic merit, but they can not be easily applied to the die, or stamp cut in brass from which the covers are printed. Some publishers require a design to fit a book’s title; others only want a noticeable cover that will attract attention. I have to hold myself to the front and meet all de-

mands."

This young worker keeps in touch with the binders as well as the publishers, and goes about continually examining the new cloths and noting tne latest novelties along all lines. This branch of art is lucrative. For Instance, a wall paper pattern generally takes a w T eek to do, and then brings from $26 to $50; while some book coverers can be designed in two hours, and rarely take more than ’three or four days, and bring the same prices as the wall paper or silk

designs.

0 PORTRAIT BUTTONS.

New York Maldeaz Now Wear Their Sweethearts* Likenesses. New York World. Buttons are quite the fad of the season, as every dressmaker wrill admit, but it is probably only in New York that the photograph button has aroused a violent enthusiasm in every girl old enough to have a lover. The Gotham girl who is fortunate enough to be provided with a sweetheart no longer hooks her gown. She buttons it firmly and conspicuously. And

sociated with thik mineral in the Southern ! States, the profits are not sufficiently j large to stimulate the industry of diseov- [ ering and bringing it to market across ! the mountains, and the quality is such j that the demand) falls off instead of in- ; creasing In 1891 the production in this | country amount|?d to 1,559,1.74 pounds, 1 valued at $110,000. It is about twenty I years since the mineral w r as discovered in Alabama. It is ajso found in Georgia, but

in a still more limited quantity.

Every’ reader has noticed the marked j difference in the quality of papers used j in printing. That of periodicals or other j printed matter, intended to last but a I j day, is often so fragile as to fall to pieces j almost as soon as touched, unless handled i with care. The eye elso notices a dlfferI erce between papers, in their color, and | there is a difference in their hardness, [ perceptible to the touch. These papers j may be classed In three groups-(1) that j made from the cellulose of linen cr cotton rags; t2) that composed of the cellulose | from straw, grass or wood; (3) that of ) cellulose from mechanical wood pulp. ; Paper made exclusively from the last has j no enduring quality, and is lit for but temporary use. Only the first should be ! used for such books and periodicals as have a permanent value, but the second is often used for these. Because of this, many of the books now being published will have fallen into decay and disappeared, when the older and less pretentious volumes, made from rag paper, will still be in good form and serviceable. The first group contains little else than sinTple cellulose, which very tow plants, except cotton and flax, yield. It is the material that forms the '.'alls of vegetable cells. Combined with oxygen, as in the second group, it gives 1 xycellulose, which constitutes the hard portion of straw, grass and wood, and, in most jflants there is -also 1!gnon“, which is the filling of the vegetable cells or the cover-

she does not use any pearl dr metal but- ! tons of any material from which buttons are commonly made. Her buttons are of porcelain, and each one bears the port rah: in miniature of the sweetheart who may ! be miles away, but who usually is not. As this idea is exceedingly flattering to the youth thus honored, and also infinitely satisfying to the girl who honors him, it is 1’kely to attain a vogue that will not be limited by the confines of New York. The clever button-makers who are mak- j ing a specialty of thia new fancy, and , who are busy reproducing masculine lineaments upon buttons of all shapes and sizes, have in their possession a collection that w'ell repays examination. There are buttons, white, black and colored, square, round and oval, small and large, artistic I and ugly. Some are gold-rimmed, others set in gems, others still are surrounded j by a line of mosaic or enamel. But they ’ are all alike in that they b;ar the image of a man's face. And here it may be ob- i served that almost anybody looks wall on a button, though It does not sound like a very dignified setting. Indeed, this dis- j covery hardly needo to be announced to people who have been wearing campaign buttons all the fall.

The stone industry, like all others in Gils country, declined during the past year, except in a few localities. Alabama increased her output, mostly limestone, to $250,000 in 1896. During the same time Pennsylvan^ produced as much a-s Connecticut and New Jersey together, and more than any other,-State, except Ohio. Massachusetts stands first in the production of granite, with Maine second, and Vermont is rapidly overtaking Maine. Westerly, R. I., ke-sps its output up to nearly a million dollars' worth a year. New Hampshire stands fifth, with about $600,000 worth, Vermont leads all other States in marble, Georgia comes next W'ith one-half as much. Tennessee stands third, her output being valued at about $300,000. New Y.ork is fourth, with SUOO.uOO worth, and next come Maryland, California, Missouri, Iowa and Massachusetts, but in these the production has been small. Limestone is quarried in nearly al! the States. Pennsylvania is first, with an output valued at $8,000,000. Indiana and Illinois each furnished about half as much. Pennsylvania produces twice as much slate as all the other States. Vermont is next, and Maine is not far behind, with ore-half as much as Pennsylvania. •
