That question seems to be more press ing just at present than ever. A writer, who has recently vistied Mexico, says: "Mexico real estaie, cuy cud suburban has gone up from 200 to 500 per cent in the last few years. The city is being built with American cap ital, business and residential sections alike; trolleys run to all the suburban towns, and these are being rebuilt also in costly and substantial style. The city shows all up to date improvements in construction and equipment, and the signs likewise of abundant prosperity.' And Mexico is still on the silver stand- ard. .

The talk that shippers' associations are indulging in thse days would lead one to think that they were more wild-eyed jind crazy than any populist that ever roamed over these plains. Forty of them are in Chicago ready to act as witnesses against the raise in rates involved in the new uniform bill ot lading. They do not wr.it until they get on the stand to do their swearing, either. It has been figured out that the scheme devised by the railroads will ; take $250,000,000 more out of the shippers' pockets above what they have been - contributing to the road3 in former years, and they howl and swear and charge around in a most ex cited sort of way. They had just as well cool down. That increase in rates is part of the landslide, and it is too late to do anything about it now. The scheme that railroads have de vised is very simple. This new bill of lading, which '.is to go into effect on January 1, provides that all goods transported at existing irejght rates must be at the owners' liability. If the carriers assume the liability 20 per cent is added to the tariff.. 'This prac tically will amount, it is contended, to an advance of 20 per cent fajthe freight rates for most merchandise, and for produce, manufactured articles, hay, grain and lumber.
