Mexican Tailors’ Prices.

Men’s clothes, made to order are considerably cheaper than in the United States, The gentleman who was making this comparison showed the suit that he was wearing, as./one that was made for him three years ago at a cost of S3O. It was a ‘ ‘cutaway” of fairly good fit and excellent material; as witnessed by the wear. The' same gentleman told of the last meeting of a conference of the southern methodist church at Durango, when a Georgia bishop and a Texas preacher took advantage of their presence in the primitive Mexican city to have overcoats made, at a saving of some 120 each from what they would have cost at home,

Well do we know that thous ands of the wage slaves in the packing houses of Hammond and elsewhere dare not take a free silver paper. The same is true of the railroad boys and many others who hold their jobs upon the implied condition that they vote the gold ticket. They dare not talk with or listen to a free silver advocate; they are spotted and discharged if they are found at a free silver meeting. It is the duty of our workers to see that these men receive silver papers, tracts and pamphlets secretly and regularly. They are with us and will vote for freedom in November.
