Accuts, from $75 to $150 per month, Farm wages are small because farming is done on the shares, and the peon j^s usually allowed a house to live in, furnished seed, animals to do the work, etc. There is no doubt that in the cities vast numbers of peons unemployed make wages low^

One of tile largest eon tractors in the City of Mexico, who constantly employes about 100 native carpenters, pays his men from 75 ecnts to $3.50 a day. His American bosses receive $0 a day.

Shoes, hats and clothing of domestic, manufacture can be bought for as little its similar articles tire sold in the United Stiltt:s. A very good suit made to order can be bought, for $12 Mexican money. Fashionable tailors will make a suit ont of the finest imported French and English goods for from 0:S5 to $00 Mexican money. Board and room in Mexico City ranges from $25 to $00 per month. There tire some excellent restaurants in the City of Mexico -which serve a good class of people, including clerks in the smaller stores, streetcar conductors, policemen, etc one of which serves a meal of seven courses, fruit and coffee for 25 cents and another the same bill of faro for IS ooncs Mexican money. A laborer can get a hearty meal for 10 cents.

Mexico is our best hog market. In 1898 she imported from the United States 200,807, Our total exportation was 327,297. Her total importations from the United States for the liscal year ending Juuo SO, 1S95, were $15,005,906 for the liscal year ending .Tune 80, 1890, $19,450,250. In 1895 tho balance of trade was against us $030,000 in 1896 in our favor $2,000,000. So much for Moxico's prosperity. I noed only add that the depression in the United States lias continued since lS'.Ki.

As will bo understood from tho firs mentioned items of importation Mexico is getting into shape to supply home demand. This she will eventually do, after which she will become it formidable rival for export trade. The linancial policy of the United States is helping her along. There is an industrious portion of the Indian labor being educated into dangerous competitors to Americ.ni labor and in time will deprive American labor of foreign markets.

The Indian of Mexico is tractable and obedient and heretofore has had little industrial instruction. When he learns the advantage of a linancial income, very likely he will strive for it. Ifcin- ip labor in Mexico is due to silver money, then the Indians must have suffered from the use of silver 400 years ago, for it iij an accepted belief there that the Indian hasn't changed his traits of chapio.ter since Cortez conquered tho country.

I must add that the most pitiable creature in Mexico is the American tramp, begging food and drink front the peons. Wandering about in Mexico, the American outcast uniformly says he cannot obtain employment at home. It is unwise for him to seek it there, for the door of occupation is generally closed to the man who cannot speak Spanish, in oitr country unions keep up the price of labor, but in Mexico there are no labor unions. The condition of the day laborer Mexico is scarcely at all af-

fectgd by the cost of his living, and tho condition of labor and high prices of •,.»-«-r v- -.tSv- swP--f ... provisions havo causes more pqtent than the use of silver money. Laying every migfortune there ut the door of silver is to deceive the uninformed.

Instead of making and maintaining low wagos in Mexico, silver rr .noy is creating conditions which w^' increase Mexican wages. American capital is seeking investment there and American skilled labor is going there for employment. When Professor Laughlin says "that employment is easy to obtain and that wages tire high, when the country is industriously prosperous," lie evidently refers to Mexico if he doesn't, he is only theorizing. Mexico "is a condition, not a theory."

THE "FIFTY-CENT DOLLAR."

There in no such thing as 50-cent dollar. The only element lucking in silver today is tluit it in not received tit the mints for coinage. Purity will be maintained by exuet equality bef'or«» the law. Silver dollar* are tlie equal of gold dollars. Open tho mints for the tree and unlimited ooiuage ol" both gold and silver and then tlie silver in the dollar is just as good as the gold contained in the gold dollar. Hy law we fix the eoinage of gold dollars on a basis of :$'•!().? per ounce. Now, let the United States restore the free eoiuage and tlx the value

of silver at $1.20 per ounce, and ail this' wild talk about the 50-cent dollar will forever cease.

Arguments In iNiy Knvelopes.

When a cause is so lame that its adherents must resort to the cowardly subterfuge of promulgating their doctrine through the modium of pay envelopes, then indeed it were time for that ctvusS to cease to exist. Workingmen sell their labor but they do not sell their independence and sturdy American manhood, and no firm need think thoy can buy it by putting pasters on the honestly earned dollar ol' tho workman or filling their pay envelopes with Mexican dollars and other "sound money" "ar&\i-

ntents." It was an insult that every I workingman will resent wilih all the I ,, vinmud vigor of the honest heart.—Mnn- track and don you forg6t it. oie Herald.
