Slavery in Mexico

1T cannot be denied that if it be
within the power of any one man
to make country, then Porfrio
Diaz has made Mexico as we find it
today. The questions follow: Has
the work been we'll done? Is Mex
leo modern? What sort Of place
for human being is Mexico, any
how?"
These and a number of other
pretinent questions bearing upon the
causes Of: the present uprising in
Mexico were asked and we'll answer
ed by Mr.. John Kenneth Turner in
a critical article on "Diaz, States
man" in recent number of the
Pacific Monthly. 1t is hard to
realize that such a condition of
slavery and peonage can exist in
this day and generation anywhere
in North America as Mr.. Turner dis
cribes as now existing in Mexico.
He says:
In Mexico there are chattel slaves,
at least three-quarters of million
Of them five per cent of the popu-
lation. That Mexican slavery is
widespread is admitted by the
warmest defenders of Diaz syste m.
The lives of these slaves are
frightful beyond description. Our
negro slavery before the Civil War
was paradise compared with their
lot. In this slavery the government
is an active partner Without the
active partnership of the government
the slavery could not be maintained
for a single day. Diaz is the
Mexican government. Is a nation
modern which maintains slavery ?
Can any ruler who deals in slaves
properly be termed statesman?
In Mexico there are at least five
or six millions of peons-one-t third
OF the population. These poems are
only slightly removed from chattel
slavery. They are bound to their
employers by debt, and under such
terms that there is no hope of their
ever paying their debt. Hundreds
OF thousands of them never owned q
piece of money in their lives. Where
wages are paid, they range from
nine to twenty-five cents a day in
oursmoney, without board, clothing
or provisions. The poems live and
die in rags and seldom taste food
except corn and beans, the prices Of
which are usually higher than the
same articles cost in the United
States. The poems have absolutely
no opportunities to learn to read or
to advance in any way. If they run
away from their employers they are
hunted down and brought back bv
the duly appointed constabularv Of
the state. The system of peonaoe
has expanded during the regime Fl
Diaz and the conditions of the poems
nave become much worse. Can !
nation which supports a system az
personal service for debt be called
modern? Can ruler who has
never attempted to abolish or mit;.
gate such system properly be call.
