its enjcyments? And in these
few words, | have given you a
correct history of the cry for the
ballot that fhe reyolutionists of
Mexico are making to-day and
upon which they base their claims
to your moral and financial sup
port as Americans. that you will
permit the soil of the United
States to be made base of oper
ations for their campaigns of Kill
ling and burning the citizens and
property of the Mexican Repub-
lie, that has required the constant
efforts of patriotic people and
their government, the long space
Of forty years to effect.
Permit me tn introduce you
to Francisco |. Madero, who is
the authnr of this treason to his
own country ard the crime to
ours by asking you to support his
measures aud assist in the execu-
ton of his dlabolical plans:
"a grandson of a rich citizen
of Northern Mexico, and one of a
family owning approximately 81
600, 900 acres of land, of which
not more than five per cent. pays
any AK to the district, state, or
national treasury, and the re-
naming 4,750,000 acres held so
exclusively from the poor citi-
zens, for whom he expresses go
much undylng love, that rents
are charged for the use Of mud
houses on these unused acres; In :
dian women are charged for small
bundles of fagOts or sticks of
God that would serre IS fuel for
the cooking of their meals; and
not one single foot of this land
has been offered as a return or
given to the Public Domain out
OF which homes could be, by the
government, offered I'D the land

elf ST. led Provisional President
IT Mexico of whom you read, is
telling the poor natives of some
OF the states Of Northern Mexico,
m Chihuahua aud Sonora that if
they will join his revolution and
assist in deposing the present
government, he will dispossess
the rich landowners OF those
states and parcel the land out
among those who will join his
forces. On this score why does
he not dispossess himself, his
brothers, his father, his uncles,
his aunts, his brothers in-law,
and his grandpa, as we'll as some
of his neightors of the rich land.
owning class? If he is finding
that the laborers are not receiv-
NJ sufficient wages for their
work on the great farms that
abound in the country, why does
he not pay his employees living
ages, instead IF improving their
wages by asking them to take up
the dagger of the assassin, the
torch and the sword that they
may get by robbery and pillage
the wage sufficiency he denies to
them in his capacity as an edu-
Gated and successful citizen from
whom his government NAV with
pr"prlety expect patriotic con-
drct and gratitude, and to whom
his less fortunate citizens NAV
look for inspirations to decency?
If this Madero feels that bis poor
neighbor is fit for the ballot and
is being denied 1t, why does he
stand alOof from him 10 his own
fireside, society, aud municipal
affairs, and treat him with more
haughtlness aud less concern than
