Excerpt from The Near Side of the Mexican Question There are two sides to nearly every matter and the ever-present Mexican question offers no exception to this general rule. The side of this question of which we hear least is that lying north of the international line, yet this aspect of the situation is of Vital concern to every citizen in the United States. The future of our country is unalterably and inextricably bound up with the future of Mexico and the Mexicans. Every passing year but adds emphasis to this fact. The multitude of Mexicans, who have found refuge within our borders during the last decade, added to the not inconsiderable spanish-american element resident for a much longer period here, forms a group which has become well-nigh indispensable to our national life and one with which we must reckon in the days to come. It is to help the reader understand something of the intimacy of our relationship to Mexico and the large contribution which Mexicans and spanish-americans are already making to our national life that this book is written. If it helps at all toward a sympathetic ap proach to the common problems which Mexicans and Americans must work out side by side in the days ahead, it will have accomplished its purpose.

Excerpt from The Mexican Papers: The Mexican Questions, the Great American Question, With Personal Reminiscences, a Serial-Issued Semi-Monthly The South comprehends this matter much better than the North.

Excerpt from The Mexican Papers The object of these publications is to draw the attention of the mercantile and industrial classes in the United States, to the national importance of the Mexican question; and to place before them information respecting Mexico, her peo ple and her institutions, with the view of correcting public opinion on some highly important points, which, in my judg ment, are entirely ignored, or thoroughly misconceived. These subjects will be explained with reference to the vital interests the American people have in Mexico, not omitting to touch, suggestively, upon those intimate relations which, sooner or later, must be established between the two republics.

Excerpt from Mexican Problems The recent triumph of the Liberal or Popular Party in Mexico, after almost 4 years of struggle, presents a unique opportunity for the carrying of certain economic changes which will destroy forever the dangerous political power of those egotistical groups composed of big landowners, who up to now have maintained the working classes in a state of slavery and ignorance. It is only recently that the conspiracy of si lence in regard to the monopoly of the land, - the censurable policy of Porfirio Diaz and; of Huerta - was broken; and as there are still many educated people in the Mexican Federation who are not acquainted with the facts in the case, 1 shall dedicate this chapter to the his tory of the land.
