Show The eastern press say that the Mexican Minister Min-ister of Finance has been In New York and is going go-ing to Europe to try to arrange to place Mexico on a gold basis; we do not believe it; the masses in Mexico cannot do business on gold; their daily .. transactions are too small. We suspect the Mexican Mex-ican minister is seeking merely to obtain an agreement for a basis for silver as compared with gold for International trade. To try to place Mexico Mex-ico on a rigid gold basis would very likely bring on a depression out of which a dozen revolutions would be incubated. |
