NO SUPPORT.
Mexican National Exposition VIII he q
Failure.

Neither the citizens Of Mexico nor the
federal government seems inclined TO give
financial assistance To the Mexican inter
national exposition, and many merchants
who are able TO contribute literally Co tho
project regard 10 with indifference, and
son . with semihostility, fearing that IL
will DO the means Of introducing large
quantities of goods which will be sold mt
low prices.
Tho Mexican Herald, reviewing the
present situation, says: There seems TO
be a great amount Of apathy in business
circles regarding the enterprise, and other
pcoplc. unaccustomcd to any manifesto
ton on n large scale Of individual militia
tive. arc not coming forward in support of
the exposition. This lack Of encourage
mcnt, accompanied by tho lack of support
from the national government In n finan.
cial way. throws 10 bach into the category
of q purely private undertaking, and rem
ders tho chances Of success problcmatical.
The cooperation Of the states Of America
has been sought and has been given In the
belief that Mexico In its national capacity
was behind tho undertaking. II the expo.
sition is 90 go forward, IL should be- lifted
out OF the category of ordinary business
yentures."-Rocky Mountain News.
