lante las negociaciones que por
fin resultaron en- la aceptaci6n

LA CREDULIDAD.
Propensidad Entire los hOnbres d dar
CreditO d las inposturas mas
Estupendas,

Sc ha dicho con sobrado fun
damento que al paso que esta-
mos en- el siglo de la civilization
v de las luces, tambien vivimos
en- una 6pocaen queel charlatanis-
mo y la impostura florecen con
su mayor lozania. Mientras la
ilustracion Y ell saber Sc propa-
gan en- todas parties del mundo,
penetrando algunos de sus des-
tellos & los remotos confines del
Asia & los desiertos impenetra-
bles del Africa, y q los sitios mas
reconditos del globo, es un hecho
innegable que las supersticiones
y las alucinaciones permanecen
siempre en- toda su fuerza, y ung6-
nero de credulidad es sustituido
q otro por mayores que sean los
adelantos de la civilization. Es-
tie es un fenomeno que los sabios
han estudiado con sumo interes
en- todas las 6pocas y edades del
universe, y uno que promote
existir hasta la consumacion
de los siglos. A medida que Sc
extiende la incredulidad Y ell es-
ceptismo en- materias de religion
cede ell lugar q las creencias mas
groseras Y disparatadas que
cuentan adptos y aflliados en-
toda la escala social. No es sola-
mente el vulgo ignorante y sin
ilustraci6n entire quien prevaleee
este g6nero de epidemia mental,
sino que Sc nota tambien entire
las classes de mas elevada catego-
ria, que naturalmente son tent
das como despreocupadas y lie
mas de ilustraci0n.
En- los tiempos bfblicos Sc nos
presenta In Pitonisa y es consul
tada y creida por muchas perso-
mas; en- toda la culta Grecia son
consultados y creidos los oracu-
los; ell antigiio Egipto rinde Quito
al buey Apiz y 4 otras supersti-
clones igualmente gToseras; la
belicosa Roma considera como
sagradOs los libros sibilinos, Y
su pueblo sc mantiene sumido EN-
la mas lastimosa idolatria; ST.
mon ell Mago pretende poser
poder sobre natural Y ser ell Me
sfas V encuentra multitud de dis
cipulos y creyentes, y EN- todas
las edades y siglos Sc aparece
gran nGmero de impostores 4
cuyas ensenanzas Y doctrinas
prestan muchos su f6 mas ciega
Y absolute. En- la edad media
la credulidad y la ignorancia He
gan q su apogeo y solamente las
ensenanzas y cultura que Sc con
servan en- los conventos de reli-
giosos impiden que los hombres
caigan de nuevo en- la barbarie
mas absoluta. En- aquellos item.

sus doctrinas por medic de Ia

es cosa notoria que el barniz
de la civilization no es para mu-
chos protection eticaz contra ell
charlatanisto y Ia impostura.
Basta con meneionar los prOgre-
sos que han hecho las doctrinas
de los anarquistas, socialistas y
reformadores deseierta especie en-
todas parties del mundo El de
recho divino de los reyes para
gobernar 4 los pueblos contra su
voluntad aun subsiste en- nues-
tros dias Y es uno de aquellos
errores que han perpetuado las
necesidades de los tiempos La
nivelacion v destruction de todo
gobierno Y de todas los socieda-
des instituciones humanas, que
predican algunos sectarios mo-
dernos son ell legftimo fruto de
las doctrinas propagadas por
los filosofos Y enciclopedistas del
siglo pasado y las cuales en- la
actualidad estdn muy en- boga
entire todas las capas sociales.
Aquf en- los Estados Unidos,
donde la educaoion es universal
donde ell saber y la instruction
han hecho generalmente mayo
res progresses que en- ninguna
otra parte, es donde la creduli-
dad sc manifesto con mayor
fuerzG. Aquf tenemos grande
abundancia de curanderos mi
lagrosos, Mesfas postizos, funda-
dores de religiones y sectas que
propalan EN- las majaderias mas
estupendas y que siempre hallan
clientela numerosa que pone q
su disposition su yoluntad y sus
medios. Aquf abundan las aso-
ciaciones eXtraiias Y peculiares en-
que Sc congregan personals Gre
dulas & inducidas por otros y
pretenden realizar y llevara q cabo
las utopias mas disparatadas y
ridfculas. Aqul solo necesita
un impostor hacer ruido y
hablar en- alta voz y con desfa-
chatez, para lamar la atenci0n
Y ser considerable como un fen6-
memo en- saber y virtudes. Aqui
especuladores de mala f6 y sin
blanca hacen Iesatuna encontran-
do una turba de incautos 4 quie-
mes despojan de 10 que tienen y
hacen fortuna. Aquf, los hom-
bres sin conciencia tienen poT
m6rito Y 10 ostentan como jac-
tancia que poseen persplcacla
descomunal y viyen engahando
4 los demds. Aquf los abusos dc
conhanza son pan de cada dia
en- los negocios bancarios, mer-
cantiles, especulativos y FERRIES,
son muchos los que tienen POI
fin exclusive medrar y enrique,
cerse con Ia sencillez y credulidad
humanas. Parece que en- el pals
