The liberal party. inspired by the
noblest and most patriotic sentiments,
having for its motto reform, liberty
and justice and having for its purpose
the esta blishment OF government for
our beloved Mexico founded on the
idea Of a brotherhood Of man, in which
all the people shall share, rather than
despotism of classes over the
masses. as represented by the present
actual government, declares it will not
rest until the purpose for which 1t was
formed shall have been carried into
effect or until the last drop OF blood OF
it's founders and followers shall have
been shed.
THE aim of the party has been the
establishment OF a government based
upon sanity, which shall give to the
proletariat that voice in the admins
tration to which it is entitled if the

the earth. rather than remain forever

have no interest in the Well-being OF
the country, but who. under the pres,
ent system, are permitted to exploit
it for their own gain, leaving to the
people of Mexico the husk from which
the grain has been taken.
I'VE lament the present abuse OF
the pigmy government Of our beloved
country, which seeks to give tc
strangers the opportunities to take
from our people that which is right
fully theirs and which permits the
poliation Of the country and the i'm
poverishment of those to whom ou1
great natural resources are rightful
