The “protection” now enjoyed by Mexico is of a kind that even the free- trader cannot logically or fairly ob ject to. The free-trader opposes a pro tective tariff because, as he claims (and justly in some cases) it unduly raises the prices of certain things for the benefit of certain classes or indi viduals. But the silver standard in Mexico protects and builds up the in dustries of the country without rais ing the price. It operates in this way. When a Mexican importer buys goods in England he must pay for them in gold, and in order to get the gold he must exchange his silver dol lars for it at the rate of about $10 to the pound sterling, i. e., $2 of silver for $1 of gold. Compared with gold his silver has fallen one-half. The prices of the goods have also fallen, but not so much as the silver. The classes of goods which Mexico imports mostly (manufactures) have only fallen from 35 to 40 per cent while the silver has dropped 50. Hence in order to keep even, when the importer sells them in Mexican market for silver he must raise the price 20 to 30 per cent. Rath er than pay these higher prices the Mexicans, or foreigners in Mexico, build factories and go to turning out the same class of goods, which can be sold for less than the price of the im ported article. The difference in ex change, that is, the difference in value between gold and silver, produces a veritable paradox: The foreign article is kept out as a tariff wall, and at the same time the price is lowered. This operates to the benefit of all classes except a few importers. When Mex ico exports her own products, the pro cess is reversed. She sells them for gold at lower prices than formerly, but the prices have not fallen quite so much as the gold prices of her silver. So when she exchanges products for gold and then exchanges the gold for silver she has more of it than she for merly received, and in Mexico, so far as native products are concerned, this silver is as good, dollar for dollar as it ever was. Thus the gold premium oper ates to diminish imports and increase exports with the inevitable result of building up and developing the inter nal resources of the coin " Every ■ -.., j£ w^v'-t-Lic new ATaL come-, from Mexico shows beyond all con troversy the unexampled prosperity of that country. We advert to the mat ter not because we believe that free coinage in this country would make our currency exclusively silver. As frequently stated, we have no doubt that the great area, financial strength and resources of the United States would be fully equal to the task of maintaining the two metals, at a par ity. We are simply pointing out the absurdity of the oft repeated but nev er verified claim that if our currency should become exclusively silver, we would be ruined. of corn being ground by any concern except those of our company. We or ganized, taking in five plants, only one of which was profitable. We are now operating them at a profit. We are operating on the policy that the ab solute, bed rock basis for the success ful conduct of an industrial company such as ours is to be able to sell its product at a price which, while render ing a profit, is still unprofitable to 'competitors. We are doing just that thing. We are in business for a long pull. On a ten-year run we might have raised prices, made $5,000,000 the first year, $2,500,000 the next, $1,000,- 000 the next, and down to nothing at the end of ten years. It is better to be moderate and earn $2,000,000 a year for ten years, which would be $20,000,000 in profits against a loss of $10,000,000 the other way. We did for a short time make the mistake in the beginning of putting the price too high, but it did not last long. We have abolished the rebate system and are doing a straight, clean business on the merits of our product and price, and, best of all, we have on this basis cleaned up all competitors.” “Best of all, we have on this basis cleaned up all competitors’” This re sult, therefore, is better than profits, better than any other kind of success, this cleaning up of competitors. That is to say, it is the end and aim of trusts to destroy the business of indi viduals with small capital, put them into tire hands of receivers, close their doors, and leave their employes out of work.—Atlanta Constitution. Low Prices for Farms. Farms at forced sales in the coun try around Philadelphia appear to be bringing very low prices. In Honey- brook, Chester county, an assignee has sold a farm of 126 acres for $30 per acre, and another in the same town- ship, size not stated, for $29 per acre. The Townsend Walter farm, near West Chester, 185 acres, a very fine estate, was offered at public sale by the as signees, October 19, but only $70.75 an acre offered, and it was withdrawn. The Doylestown Intelligencer reports the recent sale of two farms in Sole- bury township—one of the richest sec tions of Bucks county—at $20 and $15 per acre, respectively. It suggests that the assessors’ valuation for tax pur poses will have to be lowered.—Phil adelphia Manufacturer. Here is another splendid opening for some gold standard orator. He can take the above item for a text, and a la Atkinson and Aldredge, he can paint a golden picture of the beau ties of low prices They can no doubt vutirciy ’erjove lLo sting and discom fort of a “forced sale,” by snowies how advantageous it was to the pur chaser to be able- to buy it cheap. When a farrr-" ^-- ” - c -- '■•im proving and' beautifying a farm and then 1a forced to sell it for 30, 40 or 50 per cent less than he gave for it, the accruing benefits should be made the subject of a glowing eulogy by somebody. It is, however, beyond the scope of our genius, and the whole matter is therefore referred to the humorous financier of the “Lone Star State,” Judge Aldredge. Permanently cured by using DR.

This Magnificent Edition for only ONE DOLLAR DOWN, To the readers of this paper we make the following proposition to become mem- . bets of the Review of Reviews History Club, and obtain the three volumes of Our War in Two Hemispheres, By ALBERT SHAW, Editor of the H American Monthly Review of Review's " and author of “Municipal Government in Great Britain,'' etc., and a number of prominent contributors. e VERY American teacher possessing a library, and many that do not possess one, will be interested in the announcement of the history of the late war with Spain, now published by the Review of Reviews Company. Much of the narrative was written by Dr Albert Shaw during the actual fighting of the summer. This has been revised and amplified by him in the light of the official reports and documents, which have only become available after hostilities ceased. A free quotation from the critical Congressional debates and other public utterances at crucial periods aids in making this work what it is, the standard reference history of this decisive and successful struggle. But it is much more than a lively and comprehensive narrative. Itgoes back to the years of struggle in Cuba which prepared the way for the war; it discusses energetically all problems which confronted the United States after the war as to the Philippines, Cuba, and Porto Rico; and as a whole it forms a broadly conceived picture of the year which has seen America brought face to face with new world duties. The important special and technical matters of the war period, generally dismissed by the historian with only- slight and often insufficient discussion, are fully' and authentically dealt with in contributed chapters, written by men who had unusual Opportunities for staying their ' subjects. Thus, the lessons which the war has for us as to the relative efficiency of rifles and machine guns are in a carefullv written chapter by Lieut, John H. Parker, of the United States ' army; the military movements of the Santiago and Porto Rican campaigns are analyzed by the editor of the Army and Navy Journal: the battle with Cervera is described by the novelist, ' Winston Churchill, who is a graduate of theUnited States Naval Academy •, the actual condition 1 of Cuba before the war and the facts which caused the war are described by eye-witnesses, 1 Murat Halstead and Stephen Bonsai. , , , ■ The illustration of the book is especially valuable in the hundreds of portraits, pictures of • the navies, photographed scenes of the war, and the entertaining cartoons reproduced from the . Spanish, French, German, and English papers, as well as from the American. How to obtain the handsome edition by • a payment of only ONE DOLLAR DOWN. ‘ The three beautifully bound large octavo volumes and a year’s subscription to the AMERICAN ‘ Monthly Review of Reviews can be obtained by any of the readers of this paper by 1 joining the Review of Reviews Club and paying one dollar. The volumes will be sent as soon ’ as ready to those who remit the sum, and the purchase will be completed by the payment of • one dollar per month for twelve months.

C Cannot Jlie.se men be made to under stand that the value of the material a dollar is made of is one thing, and its value as money—as a dollar, after the government has monetized it and made it a dollar—is another thing? A gold dollar, a silver dollar and a paper dollar all have the same purchasing power, and each passes as a dollar. The material they are made of varies widely in value, but the value of the material a dollar is made of does not determine its value as money. It is the fact that it is one of our units of account—-is a dollar—that gives it its value as money. Standing by itself, the government’s making a dollar, and making it legal tender, confers no value on such dollars, nor does it attempt to. It simply makes it money—a dollar—and legal tender. But the moment it becomes a dollar there is an instant and overwhelming demand for it on the part of our sev enty-one millions of people to transact their business—they are all toiling to get those dollars. Raising Funds for Next Year. Among the many ways of raising money to successfully fight against Hannaism in 1900 no offer has been more opportune or generous than that of the cigar manufacturers of Chicago, who give the Ways and Means Com mittee of the Democratic National Committee 1 cent on each of their “Ways and Means” cigars sold, and one-third of a cent for each “Defense Fund” cigar disposed of. This is a voluntary contribution on the part of a large and responsible firm of cigar manufacturers, who employ union 1a- bor, and are patriotic supporters of the cause espoused by William Jennings Bryan, Richard Bland and other lead ers of the bimetallic standard. It was not offered in an ebullient moment of enthusiasm, but after mature delibera tion and counting the cost up into thousands of dollars that must go out in case orders came in sufficiently numerous and large to run up the out-go in these royalties. The smok ers using either of these brands of cigars may rest assured that the roy alty money actually goes into the funds of the committee, as the labels are countersigned in the office of the Ways and Means Committee by two of its officers. Orders are coming in lib erally for these cigars from all parts of the United States, making it a most gigantic undertaking. The quality of the cigars is the best that can be given at the prices—5 and 10 cents. The presence of any large quantity of easily obtainable food is always suf- i ficient to secure the undivided atten tion of the shark tribe. When “cut ting in” whales at sea I have often been amazed at the incredible number of these creatures that gather in a short space of time, attracted by some mysterious means, heaven only knows from what remote distance. It has often occurred to us when whaling in the neighborhood of New Zealand to get a sperm .whale alongside without, a sign of a shark below or a bird above. Within an hour from the time of our securing the vast mass of flesh to the ship the whole area within at least an acre has been alive with a seething multitude of sharks, while from every quarter come drifting silently an in calculable host of sea birds, converting the blue surface of the sea into the semblance of a plain of new-fallen snow. The body of a whale before an incision is made in the blubber pre sents a smooth, rounded surface, al most as hard as india rubber, with ap parently no spot where any daring eater could find toothhold. But, ob livious to all else save the internal an guish or desire, the ravenous sea wolves silently writhed in the density : of their hordes for a place at the bounteous feast. Occasionally one, pre-eminent among his fellows for en- [ terprise would actually set his lower; jaw against the black roundness of the mighty carcass and with a steady, sinuous thrust of his lithe tail, gouge out therefrom a mass of a hundred weight or so. If he managed to get away v. kU. it the spot-.-A 'sf^^^.^ uuriuu-o Lu- - ,^1-ad hollows w Y r ”'- serratfe-d nguiar teeth naa worried- their way through the tenacious sub- - stance, telling plainly what vigorous; force must have been behind them. I But it was seldom that we permitted ! such premature toll to be taken from our spoils. The harpooners and the officers from their lofty position on the cutting stage slew scores upon scores by simply dropping their keen-edged blubber spades upon the soft crowns of the struggling fish, the only place where a shark is vulnerable to instant death. The weapon sinks into the creature’s brain, he gives a convulsive writhe or two, releases his hold and slowly sinks, followed in his descent by a knot of his immediate neighbors, all anxious to provide him with prompt sepulture within their own yearning maws. A Bridge 1800 Years Old. Eighteen hundred years ago, or thereabouts, the Roman emperor, Tra jan, built a bridge across the Danube, the piers of which are found by the Roumanian engineers solid enough to sustain a new structure, which will unite the towns of Turnu Severin ix Roumania and Gladova in Servia. In the middle of the structure the statue of Trajan will stand, four square, to all ihe winds that blow, as it well deserves to do, perpetuating the memory of that great conqueror and bridge-builder for perhaps another score of centuries.

Give us a rest from this 50-cent dollar nonsense! The amount of value in our dollars is shown in the general range of prices of commodities—wheat, cotton, etc.—and is determined by the quantity of money in circulation among the people, as compared with popula tion and business. As Ricardo, the great gold standard authority, says: “The value of money in any country is determined by the amount existing.” That commodities would rise or fall in price, in proportion to the increase or. diminution of money, I assume as a fact that is incontrovertible.” GEORGE PRENTISS.

Miles, nor sensa tional newspapers, nor jealous foreign ers that some of the packers of this country need fear as injurious to their trade, but their own dishonest and ab- 'solutely criminal methods. How one Kansas City house can escape condign punishment, if justice be done, does not yet appear. It was shown by com petent testimony that the Armour Packing company had furnished the army a lot of rotten canned beef, sev eral carloads of which were condemned at Jacksonville and Mobile and re turned to the company at Kansas City. It was shown that as to much of this condemned beef new labels were pasted on the cans containing it and these were placed in the general stock. The manager testified that a large part of it was shipped to a foreign government, and explained its reappearance in the United States army by saying that some of the cans likely found their way back to the United States and were probably accepted by this govern ment! The Armour Packing company contributed very liberally to Mark Hanna’s nati^^J honor swindle In 1^1 The British usurer is perhaps ths most rapacious of modern Sh/ocks, and it is good to hear that a bill 75 about to be introduced in Parliament which will be sufficiently drastic to curb him, if not to “regulate” him out of existence. Up to ten per cent the money lender will be allowed a free hand, but a higher rate entitles the debtor to invoke legal redress. Every money lender will bo compelled to tran sact business in his own name; he must not have even one business alias, nor will it be permissible for him tv pose as a benevolent organization in- der some specious title; hitherto a fa vorite trick with the rascals that prey upon the needy and helpless. In a country where 400 per cent per annum for short loans is not uncommon, and 2,000 per cent per annum not unknown such a law is sorely needed. The Are/ of Mexico.
