Exposi tion, of MexioQj calling attention to the exposition,; which will take place in the city of Mexico iu 1896. This, it is de clared, will include a grand exhibit of the productions of Mexico, and visitors will have opportunities by excursions over 7,000 mile of railroad which radi ate from the capital to view the splendid scenery1 and magnificent resources of this land. , ' ? A curious paragraph of Mr. Coney's circular is the following: , '. i Mexico is 'essentially a silver coun try, and visitors to her great national exposition of 1896 will be. delighted to realize that while .the 'Mexican' -dollar is worth only half as much as the manv commoditiea in" the City of Mexico. In other words, the fact is that today a visitor csii live in Mexico as cheaply as : in the Umted btates, while the funds he brings produce him twice the amount that they did in other times,; Citizens of the United ; States get two dollars in Mexican saver tor every dollar of their own money. An English pound 6terung, worth less man five dollars in the United States, brings full ten dollars in Mexican silver.'' . Free coinage of silver in Mexico has bronerht the silver down to its bullion value! It contains about as much sil ver as our silver dollars, but the policy of our government in', maintaining the parity o gold and, silver . dollars makes our silver dollars worth twice as. much as the Mexican dollar . .
