for tlieir $1,800 prue ooVr. say to of So in or it I i had a letter from O. B. Gunn of Kansas City, in which he describes the. condU tion of things in Old Mexico.
I would in the commencement that Mr. Gunn would make a good evangelist for the doctrine of despair in a gold standard country. But what is the use of going Mexico when there is such a field for work right here at home. If a person is looking for things that bad all he needs do is to go to any of our large cities or among the Georgia or Carolina caackcrs or a large part of the negroes the south. 1, myself, have seen con ditions that simply begger description.
great was the suffering that Uncle Sam appointed and kept in active operation for a number of years what was called the Freedman's Bureau. Look at the countless charitable societies to-day taxed beyond their capacity to relieve want and destitution, But this is not what started out to talk about but about Mexico. Mr. Gunn his travels of 2,500 miles in Mexico did not see anything particular to rec ommend that country, it seems that nothing but squallcr and destitution meets the eye as soon as you cross the Texas line. There has not been a good rain in some parts of Mexico for seven eight years and still the merchants are prosperous.
New suppose that Kan sas should not have a good rain in eight years and nothing but cacti and musquit would grow, how many propserous mer chants would there be? And if labor- orers only got 25 to 50c a day the purch- sing power of hich was. only one-half what it is now, how many prosperous merchants would there be in Kansas? If the Mexican government refused to coin its own silver as the United States does and would go to issuing bonds to keep up a gold reserve, how long would be until it would be hopelessly bank rupt? Mr. Gunn tells us that about the first thing that meets your eye when you get into Mexico is a sign that you can ex change a dollar of United States money foriSi 79 Mexican money, and, of course it made him feel quite wealthy. He would, no doubt have felt like a million aire if he had only found out that they pay a greater premium on American workmen. Something over a year ago read a letter that was written by railroad man to a friend in Des Moines Iowa, snowing that he receivea more than twice as much in Mexican money for the same work than he had formerly received in Iowa and that he was saving more money.
Mr. Gunn tells us that corn is wsrth $1.40 or about 75c in our money and that the crops looked all right in Texas and we know that Texas ihas had two good crops in succession. You can raise corn as cheap in Texas as Kansas. Now the duties on corn must be unreasonably high or else the railroads charge high for freight, Mr. also tells us that he found the most primitive methods and at one place about 2co lived in caves.
As to such conditions as these he need not go any further than the Colorado cliff dwellers. or around some of the coal mines of Kansas. I am told that these conditions are enlarged upon in other slates. As to people putting on a suit of clothes and never taking it off as long as it would hoi; getlier, 1 think we see that condition right here in Kansis. The other day there was a man came along carrying an enormous load his busi jiess was mending tinware and varnish ing furniture.
He was 50 dirty and re pulsive that you could hacdly stay in his company. On inquery I lound.OH that he was living on about ten cents a day, that day ha had been extremely fortunate and had made twenty cents He was very independent, carried hi Own lent and cooking utensils. This man was a native ol Illinois, a fine schol ar and shorthand writer. He said he could get a position as book-keeper il he only had money or friends to buy it. Said he was sinking for the south where there are no labor unions.
Mexico needs Schools and teachers. If they, were properly educated thej would not work for 50c a day unless in extreme cases. If Mr. wants to fasten the gold standard permanently on the American people he should do everything in his power against free schools, We would soon come to that beautiful condition that Blaine described of the poor in gold standard nations Mr. Gunn says tbat those who for 1 political purposes say that Mexico is prosperous prmulgate a monstrous untruth.
From all my information about Mexico I have never heard any one claim prospcrty for the Peons or Indians and mixed breed which constitutes three-fourths of the inhabitants, neather do I believe tbat Mr. G. would claim pjsj-perity for the cliff dwellers, the crackers the Southern negroes, the sweat shops of the United Stales or the various tribes of indians that are the wards of the nation. But there is another class which amount to about three millions which no one can deny but that they are doing far better than wi are here in Kansas. I one had a lift of wages paid to the various kinds of workmen; it was altogether differant from the list that' Mr.
G. quotes. This man lived in Mexico and was not interested in our politics. He said that manufacturies were 'springing up and that things in general were getting better. It is almost impossible for a man with a fixed incom and who lives on the in terest, rents or profits of real estate to give an unbiased account no matter how hone! ur truthful he is.

Pitcher's Castoria i i Genera I Believe the struggle now going on in this country and other countries for a single gold standard would, if successful, produce widespread disaster in the end throughout the world. The distruction of silver as money and establishing gold as a sole unit of value must have a ruinous on all forms of property except those investments which yield a fixed return in.moncy. These would be enormously enhanced in value, and would gain a disproportionate and unfair advantage over every other species of property.
James G. Blame. With a. population of 70,000,000 and area of 3,652,250 square Kjiles tllus country contains seventeen inhahitans to the square mile, while Germany contains 235, and Belgium, the most densely populated section in Christendom, has 530 people to the square mile. If we should equal Europe in this respect our population would be if as densely populated as Germany, the United States would number 851,223,750, while a populatiou to the square mite equal to tliat of Belgium would make our census returns exceed the present estimated population of the globe by almost half, the figures being If our entire population were moved into Texas, its density would not be half that of Belgium today, and but little more than that of Germany.
Our national increase in population is 1.38 per cent, which is about one million a year. The census of 1900 will show not less than 75.000,000, and that of 2000 say 175,000,000. Some twenty-five generations must appear and disappear before our population is equal in density to that of Belgium. Thus the presidential election about A. D.
