DOWN WITH THE YANKEES.

From the Two-Republics, City of Mex,
leo, August 81.
Yesterday, the following dodger was
distributed profusely on the streets. II
is translated as showing the extent to
which fanaticism will go. The state
ment that the United States eXacted
S15,000,000 after the war of 1917 is
false. The reverse is true. They
paid that sum to Mexico as an indem-
nifty.
AUGUST 20, 1S47.
Memorable date! A handful of va
lient MeXicans defended, with heroic
yalor, against the Yankee invader, the
fort of ChurubuscO.
The Yankees assaulted Mexican ter
ritory with fire and blood. Many
thousands of our brothers died in de-
Tending the national integrity.
The Yankees triumphed; after the
triumph they said Mexico is ours"
and they plundered it to their hearts
content; Texas, New Mexico, Arizona
and Upper California, that is about
half the republic, fell a victim to the
ambition of the Yankee. Besides this
great spoil they exacted $15,OOO,OOO.
This great robbery they called con-
quest of war, and in order to take
from us what they left us then they
have invented the Pacific Conquest"
or in other words, to rob us politely;
TO this end they practice with much
activity, the following tricks:
1. They buy at any price, cheap or
dear Mexican land.
2. Aid with men, money, and arms
any Mexican government that asks
their protection.
3. Force us to speak English and
prescribe the use of the Spanish ton
que.
4. Propagate the protestant relig-
ion, not for love of that belief, be-
cause every one knows that the Yam
kee religion is money but to have in
Mexico friends and allies who will
help them in their Pacific invasion.
For which reason it is the duty Of
every Mexican to undertake, with
heroic firmness and decision, the Pa
cific Defense putting in practice the
following:
1. Not to sell to any Yankee an inch
Of Mexican land, though they offered
to pay gold dollar for it.
2. Not to ask aid from any Yankee
in any national conflict.
3. Not to work in any of their en-
terprises.
4. Not to purchase any Yankee
goods however cheap and good.
5. Neither to learn or speak En-
glish.
g.. Neither to protect nor to admit
in our towns nor in our families the
Protestant religion.
Z. Not to intermarry with the YAM
KEGS.
In order to carry out with full force
the Patriotic Defense the following
shall be considered as unqualified
enemies of and traitors to the repub-
lie:
2. Any Mexican who shall ask the
lands or real estate of any description
in the republic, to Yankee.
2. Any Mexican who shall ask the
Yankee for aid, either in men, money
or arms.
8. Any Mexican who shall work
for a Yankee in any capacity what
soever.
4. Any Mexican who shall buy Yam
kee goods, no matter how good and
cheap they may be.
5. Any Mexican who shall learn
teach or speak the English language
6. Any Mexican who shall adopt the
Protestant religion.
z. Any Mexican who shall marry 6
Yankee.
MeXicans! 1t is well known thai
our greatest enemy is the Yankee. Lee
us declare Pacific war against the
Yankee, now, and drive them from the
soil Of which they robbed us and thus
yindicate the national honor.
Hurrah for Mexicol
