Laborers Receive 25 cents Per Day on the Sugar Haciendas. A prominent and well-known business man of Galveston lias just returned from an extended tour [lirou<;li the llepuhlie of Mexico. Beinjj in close touch and sympathy vitli all public ijuestions affecting the velfare of the country, he made it a natter of special interest to investigate the standing and condition of Mexico under a silver hasis and its elation to the 1'nited States. When ipproaehed by a representative of tl^Jj STows yesterday the gentleman rave a des-j,iptioii of his travels and he impressions received therefrom, utt for personal reasons positively cfused to allow the mention of his lame. Said* lie: "I went to the 'ity of Mexico by way of Eajrle 'ass and Torreon; I passed through 'acatecus about inid-nijiht and the bllowino inoruino 1 found on hoard ho sleeper :in American oenilcmnn. lo had boon horn and rsiist**! in Now Irleans. hut 1 i:i<I resided in Mexico in* twontv-nino yours.

YUpon inquiring ahout the pr< action of sugar I found that tl reducers established their prices r gold basis, while paving the labor* ut' silver, figuring out on a gol Wtf'W?$vhat it would cost to import tl Muttjadrai- into Mexico, that is, tl 1 itnade in silver, hut it ws f{ to what the sugar woul V0T in ^gold delivered in that eountn "1 next went to Orizaba. Thei t visited a sugar haeienda, and upo ihquirv $f the proprietor I foun tH.it they were paving their lahorei 25 cents a day; they feeding tlieni selves, and the proprietors furnish in, the houses. Thev were only pair however, when they worked. Return ilBpeij the City of Mexico I wen * through 1'uebla and on t Oaxaea. There I made the at (luaintance of a Spaniard who owne* a very large sugar hacienda, am upon his imitation I rode througl his fields. I learned from lii.n thai lie also paid his laborers -o cents i day when he needed their services, The highest priced lahor paid by bin was To cents a day, which wa,< paid to the chief engineer of the sugai house. "Heturning again t) the City ol Mexico I made si trip to Vantepec. {There 1 had the pleasure of meeting liWher gentleman engaged in the ?Tt^ii:.jhdustry, and found identically the same conditions in regard to the ]>avment of labor. I inquired of the owner what his profits were, and he informed me that sometimes they were a little more and sometimes they were si little lest than ?100,000 a year. 1'pon asking him how it wsis possible to obtain such returns on 5J.OOO.OOO pound*of sugar he pointed ti? the fact that labor cost little or nothing, and that the producer made hi > profit in the difference h 'tween, the labor of that eonntry apd this, I asked him where he sold his sugar and at what price..

There 1 visited a plantation of twenty siptave league.-'. The hook keeper of the estahlishment t???d nic the satnestorv: that they paid their laborers '2~> eents a day when they worked, and nothing when they di In t work. "In all my travel-, and 1 have ?.nl\ given yon a portion of them, I found only two Silveritc> in the Republic of Mexico. They were hath Anierieans. one of them an cxloeoniotive engineer, who wa- idle, so far as 1 eottld judge, and the other a man who had attempted to start a news]taper in the < "ity of Mexico, and failed.
