enforced. Not only merchandise on
sale, but that in warehouse, must be
stamped within month. The people
consider the law forced loan and
trouble will result, as they don't like to
see officials enrich themselves and the
government impoverished. Some days
troops go without food. The people re-
gard revolution as the only thing left,
and of course Americans and their enter.
prises in Mexico will suffer. The United
States should garrison the Texas frontier
at once as the handful of troops at Fort
Brown amounts really to nothing.
