GENTLEMEN-AS American citizens, resid-
ing and sOjOurning in Monterey, we take this
occasion to pay our respects to you, and show
to you our appreciation of your efforts in rails
ing the grand republic of Mexico to that posi-
ton which internal improvements, industries
and intelligence makes power respected and
loved by the people of the United States of
America. We appreciate the fact that the
future advancement of your republic will, upon
the close of your centennial year, enable your
people to celebrate it with as much satisfac-
ton to them as the people of the United
States of America enjoyed at the close OF 1876.
nize the people ON this side of the Rio Grande
river as part of the great family of republic
can ideas, whose interests are Identical, and
whose future advancement add materially to
their prosperity.
The products of your fields, mountains and
plains are wanted by the people of the north
ern part OF this hemisphere. In return your
people want the product OF their manufacto-
ries, workshops and looms. A general reel
prOcity should take place between the people,
the interests of both demand it. With this
good fellowship will always prevail III the two
great republics. Respectfully yours, ETC.,

In reply Gen. DiaZ said that it gave
him great qualification that gentle
men of intelligence had so favorable
an opinion of his administration.
That he concurred with them in the
views they had expressed with regard
to the mutual relations of the two
countries. In proof of this he referred
to the fact that during his admins
tratian he had not only favored the
enterprise of Americans on land, but
also upon the sea. The only subven-
lions that were given by his govern
ment were to the American maritime
line. In truth there are many truths
and products of Mexico that are need
ed in the United States, as well as
manufacturing materials of prime ne
ceSsity, and many of the products of
skilled labor of the United States
will aid in developing this country
He also desired that not only material
interests should find mutual aid, but
that there should be an interchange
of ideas profitable to each country,
and finally in order to have more in
innate and profitable relations, we
should know each other better. At
ter many DleaSantrieS the general
presented each of his American guests
