FEW FACTS ABOUT
LABOR IN MEXICO
A Review of the Situation by Mr.
Archibald Butt.

Bureau of The Tribune,
D01 Hth street, N. W
Wushington, Aug. 3t.
One of the most valuable publica
tions gotten out by the Republican
national campaign committee is from
the pen of Mr. Arehbald W. Butt, one
of the best known southern writers In
Washington. The volume deals wltn
the silver situation in Mexico and is
the only work of its kind which gives
any comprehensive view of the labor
conditions In the southern republic.
Sir. Butt has had every opportunity to
study the question from a practical
point of view. When General Han
som, ex-United States senator from
North Carolina, was appointed min
ister to Mexico by Piesldent Cleveland,
he appointed Mr. Butt one of hl3
attaches. During his stay in Mexico
he made a complete study of labor
and Its conditions In that republic.
His connection with public men and
affairs In Washington gave him the
experience necessary to become a
competent Judge of the questions he
had heard discussed in congress, when
put into practical operation, Mr. Butt
ppt nt one year in Mexico and resigned
to resume his journalistic career In
Washington.
The volume contains about nine
thousand words, and it is as much a
picturesque sketch of the poorer class
In .Mexico as It Is a complete refuta
tion of the claims of the free silver
men. The volume Is composed of a
series of the author's letters from Mex
ico Cltj, written more than a year
ago before the agitation of the sil
ver question was much discussed.
Addenda has . been added and the
whole series brought up to date. Fol
lowing are some extracts which point
a moral to every laborer lu this coun
try: "There was never a time In the his
tory of the I'nlted States when a dollar
would buy so much. There was never
a time in the history of Mexico when a
dollar would buy so little.
"From the moment the American
traveling Into Mexico gets In exchange
for one American dollar two Mexican
dollars until, when on returning he
gives two Mexican dollars to get one
American dollar back, his life Is full of
surprises. The order of horse-racing
here Is a fair example of how entirely
and completely the civilization of the
I'nlted States Is reversed In Mexico.
There are no better races than those
given by the great Jockey club here, yet
It is hard to get accustomed to seeing
thoroughbreds race from left to right
instead of from right to left.
"It is equally difficult to get accus
tomed to the great opulence and exces
sive poverty which seem to dwell to
gether, living closer together than the
two extremes are ever seen existing
side by side in the United States. The
entire social system In Mexico Is in
teresting, so interesting, in fact, that It
becomes impossible to give any general
outline which would adenuatelv nnr-
tray the habits, customs, virtues and
ices oi inese people. It must be nan
died from time to time In detail f.,i
lowing from their source the laws of
mis peopie.wmoh have, more than zone
or altitude, affected the life and char
acter of the Mexicans.
"There Is one element which enters
largely Into the life at present In thin
country, which is of peculiar Interest to
ine American people, it Is the curren
cy system under which they live, and
which, If not the basis of many of the
troubles of Mexico, failed to be of bene
fit to the people.
'The a vera are wages In Mexico range
i.- ni iju. t i'U cents a day In the cities
and l-.aclendxs or plantations, and in the
remote mining districts them io Un..i.r
increase. All laborers have to feed or
un-Miwnra in iuexiCO. Ull all
plantations there are stores owned by
the landlord. What Is usunlly earned
by labor on the land Is always soc-nt
wiiii ine owner or it.
"The question naturally arises, es
peeii'lly after one has henrd thn tirrttn.
isrs of the silver men from the doors of
congress and on the stump, Why have
Huses not risen in Mexico? Why, even
on a silver dollar basis, ni e th
lower than the lowest paid in the I'nlted
"i"'' i mum ne rememnered. too,
that the wages i-ald here nrp In ileniv..
elated coin, worth only half as much as
i-Hine amount received for labor In
the. United States.
"The free and unlimited coinage of
silver In Mexico has a more direct inllu
ence upon the laboring classes of this
country than Is nt ilrst apparent to the
American visiting the tropical republic.
The silver leaders In the states give it
out, and It is generally liellevmi tht
the laboring element here Is made up
solely of unskilled labor; that there Is no
sucn imng as nigh-class workmen In
the republic of Mexico. This is false,
and the thousands of hnmlsomn lvu.
lngs, factories nnd business houses
stand In proof of it.
"There is a vast deal of skilled labor
in ine rppumio as skilled labor as can
be found In the states, nnd It Is this
very class that suffers more than any
umer.
WAC'ES PAID AT SMELTING
WORKS.
The smelting business here Is an Im
mpnup fnrlllntrv anil thn amnltava
good as those employed In the United
mates, jn omana ine average salary
of the smelter la 19 75 nnrl i ,i
The same men who pay these salaries
in Omaha operate smelting works at
Monterey, in the state of Nuevo Leon
in this republic, and pay their smelters
75 cents In Mexican money, which is
only equal to 3i'4 In American money
Measured from the Mexican basis the
smelter In the United States gets from
15 to IS a dfiv. while tho mnma
laborer In Mexico makes only 75 cents.
It is accurately estimated that the
high-grade laborer here gets only one
seventh of what the same grade of la
bor does In the United States. These
are facts Indisputable which every
miner, smelter, stoker, feeder and tap
per should remember. As one descends
the scale the wages get poorer. For
instance, sheep herders, who are re
garded as good claws laborers, get only
$6 a month and one bushel of corn.
Bricklayers get only 45 cents a day.
The best stonecutters and there are
none better In the states get only a
slight Increase over this. It must con
stantly be kept In mind that all the
wages arc computed on the silver basis,
which must be divided by two when Its
purchasing power Is considered.
"The clerk In the store who draws
monthly $25 or SRO thinks himself pros
perous. The best waiters in the res
taurants get $10 a .month, and find
themselves. The most expert seam
stress gets only 35 cent a day and must
bring; her own dinner IX she goes out
by the day. The best cook can com
mand $3 a month, but housegirls and
men servants get only from $3 to $6 a
month.
"The spinners, yarners, dyers and
others employed In the various factories
rat rmm 15 to BO cents a dav. Rents in
every part of the republic are very high.
higher than tney are in inn un.ii.eu
States, and a respectable house or room
even half as good as those occupied by
our factory hands, is entirely beyond
the reach of the best paid labor." There
Is no exaggeration in this. The whole
seething mass of labor live for the most
part in adobe- or mud-made huts, and to
all Intents and purposes sleep on the
ground. Furniture is so high that it
would take half a year's salary to buy a
bedstead.

SCANDAL AT BUCHAREST.
AWelUKnown Society Heiress Ab
ducted by a Friend of Her Family.
New York. Aug. . 31. The European
edition of the Herald contains the fol
lowing account of a singular abduc
tion: A creat sensation, says the Berlin
Boersen Courier, hns Just been caused
In society circles In Bucharest by a
scandul that occurred a few days ago
in the Roumanian capital.
Some weeks ago a young and weal
thy lady. Mile. Joanid, was engaged to
a well known engineer in Bucharest.
The fact that she had a dowry of 600,
OOOf. aroused the cupidity of a M. Jean
Fourgeon. and he conceived the plan
of abducting her In the hope that to
avoid a scandal her parents would con
sent to her marriage with him. His
family approved the scheme, and one
of his sisters. Mile. Rosa Fourgeon.who
was one of Mile. Joanid's friends, act
ed as his accomplice.
She persuaded the latter to go for a
walk with her in a wood near the town.
Here M. Fourgeon was waiting with
a carriage. The young girl was seized
and in spite of her screams and strug
gles was forced Into the vehicle, which
was driven oft to her abductor's estate
at Diamant, In the vicinity of the city.
The young lady's disappearance soon
began to arouse anxiety and the police
were Informed. Suspicion naturally
fell on the Fourgeon family, as it was
known that Rosa Fourgeon hud been
with her the day she disappeared.
A descent was made on the house at
Diamant. At first M. Fourgeon refus
ed to allow the police to enter the
house, and when they forced the door
he lied to the woods. In one of the
rooms Mile. Joanid was found, nearly
out of her mind with terror, with her
face all scratched and her clothing torn
as the result of her desperate struggles
with her abductor. When Bhe had been
released the police organized a battue
in the woods, and after a long search
succeeded In capturing M. Fourgeon,
who, with his mother and sister, were
taken back under arrest to Bucharest.
On account of the social position of
the parties the affair has caused the
greatest excitement in the Roumanian
capital.
RUSTIC BEAUTYCAUSES A FEUD.
Villngo of Hunlock in a State of
Armed Partisanship.
Wilkes-Bnrre, Pa., Aug. 31. A relsn
of terror exists In the village of Hun
lock. Annie Sharpe Is at the bottom
of It. Annie Is a rustic beauty. She
persisted in attending a country dance
against her father's wishes. The par
ental door was closed agalnat her.
She found refuge in the home of Mr.
and Mrs. John Handler, nnd the girl's
father and brother attacked Handler's
homo. They were armed with rifles.
Fom an upstairs window Handler lev
eled his gun and tho Sharpes re
treated. Tile Sharpes next went in pursuit of
Jacob Hodman, an unci'?, who look
sides with the girl. Hoffman iled to
the woods. He came to this city and
swore out warrants for the arrest of
tho Sharpes. More trouble Is expect
ed, and there is a lively demand for
firearms upon the part of the residents
of the village, who are worked up to
a high pitch of excitement.

Speech.

to Overcome His Aversion to Talk

Litcn--Iiryan's Farewell to New
York.
Chautauqua, N. T Aug. 81. Mf.
and Mrs. Bryan arrived here this
morning and In company of Postmas
ter Fuller and Mrs. Coleman E. Bish
op were driven about the grounds and
the buildings pointed out and de
scribed as well as the system of edu
cation. Tiie party stopped at the res
idence of Coleman E. Bishop, former
editor of New York Judge, and the
Buffalo Express, who is one of the
Chautauqua Republicans .who' will
support Mr. Bryan.
After leaving Mr. Bishop, Mr. nni
Mrs. Bryan drove to I'rospect Park,
where Mr. Bryan, despite his asser
tion that he would not speak, made n
three-minutes' speech to GOO people.
He was Introduced by Mr. Fuller. Mr.
Bryan said:
"This visit has no political signific
ance. When I found that I waB so
near Chautauqua I could not with
stand the temptation of visiting this
place."
He said he had a great regard for
the work done at Chautauqua, and
that the Chautauqua platform was
broad enough to allow the discussion
of every question. "People who come
here carry away ideas which only are
pro("('.ctlve of good to the citizens of a
country like this. After visiting tho
various parts of the grounds I am
Pleased to notes that It had a very
democratic appearance, and that there
are no palaces and no hovels."
He thanked the people for assem
bling. As he drove away he was given
the Chautauqua salute which Is the
waving of handkerchiefs. The party
reached Mayvllle, N. Y the home of
Judge Albion W. Tcurgee, who Is at
present stumping for Major McKinloy,
at 10.30. Mr. Bryan spoke here from the
balcony of the hotel to 400 persons nnd
his reference to Judge Tourgee's books
caused laughter from the crow i that
heard him. Mr. Brycn said that Mr.
Jefferson had the correct Idea when he
said that governments were founded
in Jealousy, not in confidence-that
confidence was everywhere tho parent
of despotism. "Show me a people."
said Mr. Bryan, " who are so confident
in their leaders that they take no part
In the detail of government and I will
show you a people whose leaders look
out for themselves and not the Interest
of all the people. Show me a people
who instead of having too much confid
ence, aire Jealous of their liberties, are
watchful of their public servants, nnd
careful as to the policies proposed by
the different parties, and I will show
you a people that have a gciod govern
ment. (Cheers).
SPEECH AT RIPi.F..
Ripley, N. Y Aug. 81. Mr. Bryan ar
rived here at 1.30 p. ni. after a rather
uninteresting drive across the country
from Mayvllle. Many houses in the
town here ore decorated with banners
bearing tho names of Bryan and Sew
all, while not a few have McKinley
llthogra phs.
Mr. Brynn made a speech to a large
crowd, and left for Clovelinl over the
Lake Shore road at 3.0. p. m.
Mr. Bryan's Bpeech was delivered In
Tallmadge grove, where the Knlghn
of Maccabee were holding a picnic. His
audience numbered 2,000 and wjs fairly
enthusiastic. Two brass bands head
ed the knights who aecomp'nlet; Mr.
Bryan to the grove and afterwards es
corted him to the train.
Air. Bryan wus introduced by the
chief officer, W. S. Strlngham, who
took care, however, to say that Iiu
did not endorse him, but had produced
him here as an attraction for the peo
ple. Aa the question was one on which
they desired to hear Mr. Bryan, ho
hoped they could give him close at
tention. Mr. Bryan, coming to the front-
in ine piauorm, was loudly cheered.
He said:
This Is the last oppoitunlty which I
shall have to say a word In the state
of New York. I am greatly pleased
with the interest which is being taken
by the people of New York In the Is
sue of this campaign. I am able to
carry back to the people of the west
the news that while we have not met
with n very hearty reception In Wail
street, we have met a hearty recep-
tion In every other part of the state
of New York. (Chens. I Ami T lmvo
' come to believe thnt there Is among
the masses of the people of New York
j about ns little love for what Is knou n

wetrn state. (Cheers.)
j And as this Is my farewell m. ct'n:r
j In this state for the present. I desire
I to submit Just a word to the people of
New York.
j I desir? to offer one suggestion. We
, have a great fight In the Democratic
party, one of the most memorable con
tests ever waged In the United States,
and those who advocate the fre? coin
I are of silver have won by carrying
. their cause not to conventions but to
j the people themselv-s, the sourc? of all
political power. (Cheeis.) If we had
waited until the convention assembled
j nt Chicago and then made our appeal
io ine delegates who had been sent
there uniiistmcted and without regard
to the money question we should have
been defeated, but we saw that the
strength of bimetallism was on the
rank and file of the party and recog
nized the Democratic idea that pow?r
comes up to the machinery.
