be of interest to many now looking towards
that country. The advance OF commercial
intercourse with Mexico has been over OBJ
staces difficult for strangers to comprehend.
In the earlier days Of that Republic duties
were so enormous as to superinduce
smuggling on the one hand and corruption
in custom-house officials on the other, by
both of which the government was de-
frauded of its revenues. The inherited
jealousy of foreign influence was tremeh-
dous lever used by demagogues to thwart
more liberal legislation, as was shown III
the warfare so ridicuously made upon their
best friend, Minister Poinsett. But change
has been slowly TRANSPORTING for many years
1t required q long time to
get railroad concession, from the govern
ment, or action to encourage lines of steam
ships: but both finally succeeded, and now
are producing results which will rapidly re-
generate that country of fabulous wealth.
The more advanced minds of Next
co fully realize the the necessity OF
thorough reform in their revenue sys-
tens and commercial policy with
other countries President Con
zales is one of this class, as are Messrs.
Romero, Moriscal Prieto and others.
Doubtless they will favor something like
liberal treaty of reciprocity with great re-
auctions of duties on American machinery,
railway material and other staple commodi-
ties; but our government, in the interest OF
is own people, ought to press the matter
home till SUGGEST is achieved. That the Mex
leans. the real land holders and faI mers, will
gladly and on munifcent scale buy Amer
lean agricultural implements is proven by
the fact that for twenty years they have
bought the inferior English articles. The
trade, enduring in character, that would
follow such treaty stipulations, would
speedily grow into enormous proportions
and lead daily to closer ties be-
tween the two countries. While northern
and western manufacturers would be the
most direct beneficiaries, we repeat the
hope that the Texas delegation in Congress
will lend their utmost inauenpe in encour-
aging President Arthur and bis Cabinet to
hasten the accomplishment OF ends so
fraught with good to our whole country and
the advancement of Mexico in her march to
real constitutional government, with its at
tendant blessings.
