A PLEA FOR MEXICO

To the Editor OF Evenfno Ledger:
Sir-The true and genuine spirit of Amer
lean liberty has gone out from amongst U.S.
And the conspirlng demon of American
graft Is ruling us instead. Every promi-
nent newspaper has servlleIy espoused the
criminal cause of Wall street. and is reptil-
ishly journalizing for Intervention in
Mexico. Taken from the viewpoint of an
open and impartial consideration OF the
rights and wrongs which are actuating the
two republics, such a war could not pos
sibly be waged with any substantial degree
OF fundamental justice on our part, and
would be logically certain to vitality injure
the high standard of our national repute,
together with our future prospects for the
good will of all other nations. Mexico
would he mainly entitled to the sympathy OF
the world. and the curse OF the world would
primarily and predominantly rest with an
irrevocable justification upon our own land.
the land which ardently loves to dream
OF Its own struggle for political liberty.
