Show THE MEXICAN IMBROGLIO If nnythlnf; over fully demonstrated tho futility of n pcoplo trylnt; to successfully suc-cessfully run a Republican form of government without duo precaution and propor preparation, It la the case of tho Mexican government as It ox-Istn ox-Istn nt present nnd as It has existed for many years. In tho first pl&co the pcoplo thcro cro too Ignorant generally, to under-otand under-otand nnd npprcclato tho bonetlts of correct Republican government, and In tho next placo; tho lands that prop, orly belong to them, have been gifted nway by selfish, morcenary rulers to land-grabbing speculators, until tho pcoplo have lost ho'r.rt, and arc lltllo bettor than bondsmen or slaves and until tho agrarlnn rights that havo boon denied them aro properly r.tl-justed r.tl-justed and restored by edict of law, good-bye to Uio poaco, freedom and prosperity of the Mexican pcoplo. Carransa and oth'ors of his plltlrlng clltjuo who hsvo had tho political whip. In their hands so ang, have been the ruin and curso of the country by their constant jofforts to hlndor foreign for-eign capital from, operating freely and unhesitatingly In the country, and by enormous nnd extravagant taxation, taxa-tion, thereby hlnderlBBU expansion of fbustawsad tKiwnLfcri.IInait. clal and Industrial cjmjssfck and frequent fre-quent business failures.' Only for these backsetting cauocs, coupled witli tho lack of friendly business intercourse with other peoples' peo-ples' ami countries, Moxlco would bo one of tho richest countries of the world, as few otlior countries possess the gunlul climate and tho boundless natural rsourccs of wealth that It Is h'or good fortuno to enjoy. Wo slncoroly trust that the present political upheave! going on there, will eventually havo a sulutory effect on that long and sadly perplexed country, and that the public Innds that proporly belong to tho populace, will, by somo legal means, be recovered recov-ered and managed so that government grants will bo ncccsslblo to all who caro to procuro them, as they are In tills prosperous and frco land of ours. Wo havo frequently been led to wonder won-der at the senseless, Ignorant spite nnd prejudice that exists so much among tho pcoplo of Moxlco against tho peoplo of this country, who have r.rovan time and again, tb'at wo are their best and (most friends, and who, if any other nation should try to suppress or subjugato them would bo tho first to come to tlelr assist-anco assist-anco and help to repel their foes. With a stable, peaceful govorninent, Moxlco would bo a paradise within its.solf and a wonderful Industrial and business auxiliary to tho world at large. Scheming politicians In Mexico have tried to mako tho people there think that wo aro after taking their country coun-try from them, whereas our whole history from thu beginning, tproves conclusively that wo seek by purchaso only and not by conquest, to extend our power and lnfluouco, and that wo willingly and gladly extend a helping help-ing hund to tho down-trodden and oppressed of all nations, whenover and wherever a pressing call for aid piosonts Itself. So we will to Moxl. co, if wo are ever callod to legitimately legitimate-ly Interfere In tholr behalf. J. C. |
