Mexican Labor Wages Under Silver Raises False Prosperity Claim
A critical letter from Mexico dated July 6 1605 counters silver advocates claim of Mexican prosperity. It notes wages in Mexican cities and remote mining districts range from 12 to 25 cents a day, with landlords controlling stores and laborers largely retaining little. The piece argues free silver would not raise wages or purchasing power, while costs rise as currency devalues. It concludes that American wage gains would falter under a silver regime and urges caution against such policy.
