CONDITION OF THE Nj xIoAN FINANoEs
The finances of Mexico continue TO be on the most
satisfactory footing The experience OF the last few
months has abundantly demonstrated that the reve-

is THE MEXICAN EMPIRE TO BE PERMANENT
The question OF course presents itself to every in
tehgent American Low t about the stability of
the present Government of MeXicoS Is 1t to be per-
manent, and continue or is 1t TO fall and the re-
pnbhc be re-establ1shed its IuinsI II 1t to be
permanent, let us know it an let 1t be kaown upon
what the stability OF the empire Is founded II 1t is
o. stined TO iall what power is 1t that is to bring
about the destruction OF the emprel Is 1t the
United StatesP is there any reason to suppose that
the repuOlc will ever be reestablished IN Mexico
If so, what are those reasons? If not, If the en-
Lne is to continue 20 be the government of Mexico,
how many years is 1t to be be ore we recognize that

Juarists 1or we see the results OF their attempt,

Government would assist the JuaTIsts. But that
idea is now oispelled We could not do 1t without
involving ourselves in war with several of The
most powerful European nations. Besides, our
policy towards Mexico is that of neutrality. This
principle has been reiterated over and over again
by Mr.. Seward, in his dispatches to all our Minis
tiers ebroad during the last three years That policy
will be maintained. The Juarsts will never get any
help from our Government, and, therefore, we will
not restore the Mexican republic. QnOd erdt de-
msonstr atuR. The Mexlcun Republic will never be
restored.
II the Mexican Government as it exists at present,
is TO be permlnenti upon what does Its perpetuity
depend? First and chiefly upon the will and choice
OF the Mexican people themselver. Three wears is
long enough 20 prove the worth the wOrthlessness
OF any Government. TheMexlcan people see that
that they have got the best Government, the only
good Government that they have had for forty
years. ,.......
They ike it, they like the mode of its administra-
ton, the like the man wnom they called 10 admInis-
ter It, and they like his wife, who has been in many
respects IKE a mother TO them. They do not want
any other form OF government and nine-tenths OF
the peoI OF Mexico would to-day, If an elecuon
were held. The perpetuity of the present Govern.
ment of Mexico depends, secondly, upon treaties
between Macmillan, France, Austria, and Belgium.
