that the farmers are contemplating

that part OF their product which is not

more cheaply than at present.
"This is all true enough, as far as it
goes, said an officer of the Farmers

for the farmers under their present
corporation laws, to engage in such an
enterprise, nor would it be practicable
for few members of the union to

whatever to bind these few men who
built such mills to fall in line with the

the threat of the state department

could not enforce our threats. Zelaya
simply snapped his fingers. in the face
of Uncle Sam, with all of the Latin
Americas looking on The result of
the whole thing has been a triumph
for the diplomacy of Mexico, and is
so recognized in every Central and
