and during the long period in which he has
held Office he has administered public
affairs to the advantage of the whole popu-
lation. Under his administration the pros
perity Of Mexico has steadily advanced.
We shall welcome the presence Of Prcsi-
dent DIAZ in the United States.
By the attitude he has always assumed
toward US; by tho treaties negotiated be-
tween the two Governments. under his
direction by his liberal opening OF Mexico
to American enterprise; by his constant
efforts to promote the growth OF commerce
between Mcxicans and Americans; by tho
protection no las always extended to
Americans in Mexico. he has shown his good
will to our country.
Welcome to DIAZ!
It Is O favorable time for him to leave
Mexico. Tho small rebellion which broke
out last year has been suppressed: the
treasury is in excellent order: popular con-
tent Is unusually we'll assured in all tho
States; hardly ever in any past time has tho
face OF the community been as tranquil as |
1t now Is. There is no thought of any dis
turbance during his absence from Mexico.
There are no misunderstanding between |
the two countries. Wo are surveying Il |
part OF tho boundary between Mexico and |
the United States, and his Government |
stands rendy TO conccde several pieces of
territory that hnvo boon in dispute.
We have arrested. tried. and punished
the rebels against his authority who |
took refuge in Texas in tho early |
part Of this year. Wo have. at great
expense. aided in the maintenance of
order along tho Rio Grandc. We have not
yet surrendered Gen. BENAv1DEs, whose
e1tradition has been asked for; but We hold
this DENAv1DEs while his case is under con-
sideration in tho State Department. and
tho correspondence respecting him has
been conducted without friction. The Gov
ernments Of tho two countries could hardly
DO on better terms.
We desire to deepen our intimacy with
our well-disposed and worthy ncighbor.
We desire steady growth OF tho friend
ship between tho United States and Mexico.
The two countries have mutual interests of
great Importance. They can be far moro
serviceablo to each other than they have
ever yet been. We are sure that the Presi-
dent of the Union will be proud to meet the
President OF the Mexican republic.
We repeat. therefore. welcome to Presi-
don't DIAz ! We welcome him to the United
States and to the city of New York
