The June Atlantic begins with an other installment of the letters of Dante Gabriel Rosetti. edited by George Birbeck IlilL This installment con tains the letters for 1955. Striking fea tures in this issne are an article upon The Politician and the Public School, by Mr. li. L Jones, superintendent of schools. Cleveland. Ohio, and Restric tion of Immigration, by President Francis A. Walker. The book reviews include a review of John T. Morse's Life and Letters of Oliver Wendell Holmes and reviews of recent publica tions in history and art Poems and the usual departments complete the issue- Mr. Curtis sometimes writes in such a vein as to lead one to suppose that he believes in the gold standard. When the direct question is raised, he dis claims being a silver man, and by im plication he does the same when the point under consideiation bears so im mediately upon the main issue that its decision necessarily and palpably in volves the entire question, as in the statement concerning, silver production which is elsewhere commented upon. If he openly conceded that silver had fallen compared with gold, or, more properly, that gold had risen compared uith silver, because of silver's demon etization, it would be si complete sur render of the gold side of the case. But wherever the connection is not so pat ent where there is a chance for hedg ing, qualifying and explaining, the Whole trend of his writings is against the gold standard. A considerable portion of one of his recent letters to the Chicago Record is devoted to a statement by ex-Gov. Shepherd, relative to business condi tions in Mexico. What the governor says is here given in full: Kx-Gov. A. R. Shepherd, who is now principal owner and manager of the Hatopilas silver mines, in Chihuahua. Mexico, has been spending the winter in Washington for the first time since he left here Eixtetn years ago. and be fore leaving for his Mexican home yes terday he addressed the following let ter to Representative Newlands of Ne vada, in reply to some Inquiries from that gentleman concerning the eco nomic condition of Mexico as a silver basis: "I have been a resident of Mexico since 1870. When I first went there the ratio between silver and gold was lo'fc to 1. The first exchange I bought was at the rate of 15 per cent in coin silver on a New York draft. Since then, owing to the demonetization of Bilver, many changes have occurred in the rate of exchange. During the fam ine, which existed the whole period from 1889 to 1892, when two-thirds of all the grain used for food in Mexico was brought from the United States, the rates of exchange ranged from 60 to 95 per cent, and at times went as high as 100. Notwithstanding this. Mexico met all her obligations, paid all her interest, and suffered less than any country- "The present condition of the silver market is leading the Mexican people to doing their own manufacturing. As an instance of this I may cite Chihua hua as an example. An iron foundry and machine shop was established there some time ago. with $60,000 capi tal, for the purpose of manufacturing the mining and other machinery for which there was a large and growing demand in that vicinity and which was formerly supplied by the United States. The success of this venture may be re alized when it is known that the capi tal stock was increased to $300,000, and that the company secured a contract recently for a large amount of machin ery in competition with the firm of Fraser & Chalmers and other large con cerns in this country. Cheap clothing, all of which was formerly purchased in the United States and Europe, is now manufactured in Mexico. At Chihua hua a canning establishment, with a capital of $1,500,000, is now being or ganized for the purpose of preserving meats and fruit, and a large brewery, with a capital of $200,000. is being put in operation. A woolen factory, with $200,000 capital, was started, and was enlarged last season to meet the in creased demands upon it, and smelters at Chihuahua now treat the Mexican ores that were formerly sent across the border at heavy expense. "Numerous other enterprises have been established and are contemplated, all having the effect of giving remuner ative employment to Mexican artisans and laborers, and what is equally im portant, serving to keep Mexican mon ey in Mexico, for the fruit of all these forms of industry represents the life necessities of which Mexico has hither to been dependant on this country and Europe. "The conditions in Chihuahua are truer of the more advanced portions of Mexico, and the development is steady and remarkable throughout. In the northwest of Mexico a railroad will be built within the next year, running from El Paso to a point south of Cor ralititas, a distance of 250 miles, open ing up a country rich in mines and agricultural resources. The $5,000,000 capital for the undertaking has been furnished by New York parties. "The conditions of the people have improved correlatively with the devel opment of the country. The district of El Fuerte, which furnishes the part of the mountains in which our mines are located, has doubled in population in the last fifteen years and its productive capacity correspondingly increased. Formerly the peon system of labor, which pervaded all Mexico, was the rule in El Fuerte. Now the scarcity of workmen is so great that almost everything is produced on shares, and it is almost impossible to raise a crop unless the workmen are interested in it. "Another instance may be recited showing the wonderful progress of northwest Mexico. When the Mexican Central railroad was first opened it w-as thought that the northern part of it would be unremunerative. The open ing of mines and the development of agriculture along this portion, how ever, has made it one of the most profit able sections of the road. """Shortly before my departurel"was conversing with a very intelligent Mexican banker. He declared that he wanted the difference l-etween silver and gold maintained, as it enabled the Mexicans to keep their money in their own country. Oilier Mexican financiers with whom I have talked hold the same views. "There have been but two or three bank failures since I have resided there. The Mexican hanks arc required to keep one-third of their circulation in silver dollars in their vaults. "The system in Mexico allows the miner to send his silver to the govern ment depositories and receive silver dollars in return for It in any part of the country where there is an assay office, the government tax and cost being about 4 per cent. "Perhaps the best sign of the stabil ity of Mexico under a silver policy may be found in the fact that Mexican 5 per cent bonds stand at 93 in Ixndon." This is exactly in line with what Mr. Curtis has stated as the result of his own observations in Japan, and there can be no doubt that in thus quoiiug Gov. Shepherd at length, he intends to lully sanction the statements made, especially as they are given without comment. A man like Edward Atkinson, who is utterly incapable of reasoning from cause to effect, might say exactly what is given above, and still believe in the gold standard, but Mr. Curtis is a much abler man than Atkinson, and it is dif ficult to see how he can so clearly recognize the benefits which Mexico and Japan are reaping from the use of silver, and still believe that free coin age would ruin the United States. That the appreciation of gold is stimulating the industries of Mexico on many important lines, is too plain for discussion. It, in fact, is denied by no one who understands the situation and is cajidid enough to speak without disguise. The gold people do not meet this point fairly. They say, "See how much greater, richer, and more ad vanced the United States is than Mex ico," and then they seek to convey the impression that it is owing to our es tablishment of the gold standard, while Mexico uses silver. They entirely ig nore the self-evident fact that the I'nited States was always far in ad vance of Mexico. Even in greenback times, when our only money consisted of depreciated paper, worth but 40 cents on the dollar, we were away :head of Mexico, which was then doing business with silver dollars worth about five cents more than the Amer ican gold dollar. Nay, we were then relatively farther in advance than we are now, because of late years Mexico has been gaining upon us rapidly. A few years ago Great Britain was vastly richer than the United States, and her business was incomparably greater, but that did not prove that her form of government or her financial syestem was better than ours. The reason was that Britain had the start of us. But we have overhauled and passed her, and we are now the richest nation in the world, although by no means so rich as we would have been if we had not gone deliberately at work to cripple our own resources and in crease the burden of our debt by de stroying one of the money metals with which that debt might have been paid, and of which metal we were the great est producers. So we are a long way in the lead of Mexico for various rea sons with which students of history are familiar, but our adoption of the gold standard in 1873 is not one of those reasons. As between American and Mexican conditions at the present time, the question is one of comparative im provement, and there is no intelligent and fair-minded investigator who de nies that Mexico is now gaining ground with race-horse spt .1. The explanation of the advantages that inure to the silver standard coun tries has been frequently given in these columns, and the matter will not be gone into now. The reader is simply urged to carefully read what Gov. Shepherd says, as presented by Mr. Curtis, and then seriously ask himself how a money standard that is so nour ishing to the industries of Mexico could possibly be rank poison to those of our own country.

The explanations are as follows: 24. "There was a strife among them." The strife was probably occasioned by either one or both of the following reasons: (1) The strife may have arisen, as we Infer from the lesson Jesus gives his disciples, from the fact that there was no servant to perform the necessary but menial service of washing the travel-soiled feet of the disciples, and none of them were willing to perform it for the others. Who should serve and who should be served was the question. (2) It may have arisen with ref erence to the places of honor at the table. It is quite possible that those sought the best places who had received unusual honors, as the three who had been selected for the transfiguration, Peter, with the keys, Judas, the treasurer, James and John, who had asked to be nearest the king. Jesus was soon to be glorified, and they looked forward to influ ential places in the new klnsdom. 25. "Tho king of the Gentiles exercise lord ship over them." Hetter, lord It over them. It implies a wrong exercise of authority, In the interest, not of the subjects, but of the rulers. Plumptre. "And they that exercise authority thave lordship) are called bene factors." Insist on being called "benefactors." Sadler. 26. "Rut ye shall not do so." The principles of Christ's kingdom are the exact reverse cf thote of most of the former worldly kingdoms. The leaders are not to rule, but to serve. To have all the rays of Joy center in us as a focus that is fire, the heart of sin ; to be the center from which rays emanate to all that is the sun, the heart of heaven. "But he that is greatest among you." Some are greater than others, and it is blessed for all that it is so. It would not be well if God had made men as the machine makes pins, "all heads alike." "Let him be as the younger." Hum ble, retiring, never putting himself forward, hut ever ready to serve, as the younger were expected to wait upon the elder. "And he that is chief, as he that doth serve." Using his position, his talents, his wealth, every thing that makes him chief, as a means of serving his" fellowiuen and doing them good. 27. "I am among you as he that serveth." I who am the greatest am the servant of all. Jesus "came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." This is true greatness, far above the greatness of talent or rank. 28. "Continued with roe in my temptations," trials; all that he had borne during the last three years. 29. "I appoint unto you a kingdom." They shall be sharers in his glory, as they had been In his afflictions (Romans 8: 17). They sit on Invisible thrones; but no earthly kings of the past or present exert so powerful an in fluence on men as do these humble disciples. None have such honor, dignity, reward and majesty. And they rule by serving. 30. "That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom." This was a symbol of the highest dignity and closest intimacy with the king of kings. "And sit on thrones, judging (ruling over, governing, as the judges of old did in Israel) the twelve tribes (the whole body) of Israel." Just when and how this shall be fulfilled we may not know. But what ever Christ's kingdom shall be, of that th;y shall be a part; they shall partake of his joys, his triumphs, his glory, his reign. 31. "Simon, Simon." The name is repeated to Impress the importance of what follows. "Satan hath desired to have you." has asked, expressing his strong desire, as if thus he could overthrow the very rock on which the church was to be built, "That he may sift you as wheat." That he may toss and shake you up, by temptations, persecutions, dangers and alarms, like wheat tossed into the wind by the winnowing fan ; so that you shall fall away from the faith as the chaff and dust are blown away from the threshing floor. 32. "But I have prayed for thee," with the effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous man. "That thy faith fail not," that you be found true wheat, and only your chaff be blown away. Peter had great need of this sifting. "And when thou art converted." Turned back from thy sin. and made a new man, like gold tried in the fire. "Strengthen (stablish, con firm in the faith) thy brethren," who will pass through similar trials. Compare Job 1: 9. The warning left a deep impression on Peter's mind. 33. "Lord. I am ready to go with thee." The Greek' order lays the emphasis on with thee. It did not seem possible to Peter that he could fail. 34. "I tell thee, Peter." the rock. "The cock shall not crow," which was usually about 3 o'clock in the morning. "Thou shalt thrice deny." From Mark (14: 30, 31) we learn thaX Peter indignantly and vehemently protested against this statemenf; and all the apostles joined with him in declaring that they would die before they would deny him. 35. "When I sent you." etc. Hitherto the apostles had depended on Jesus, personally, and every necessary want was supplied. 36. "But now, he that hath a purse," etc. Hereafter you are to work under other cir cumstances, amid opposition, and hatred, and persecutions. Therefore, provide your own living, work with your hands, use every proper means. "He that hath no sword," etc. Rather, as revised version, he that hath no purse from which to buy a sword, let him even sell his cloak to get one. 37. "This that Is written (in Isaiah 63: 12) must yet be accomplished (fulfilled) In me." The hour was at hand when be would be treated as a malefactor, and crucified, and the disciples would be left like sheep without a shepherd. , IVrhaps.
