Only industries can make us happy.Land without capital, is like a soldier without weapons.Work without capital, is like a fish out of the water.Agriculture produces from the same land a limited amount each year, which is better than the gold mines. Each useful tree grows rightfully from a gold weight every year.When industries develop, the workers will make good profits.The fulfillment of Duties turns the world into Paradise, and the insistence of Rights, into Hell. Liberty is the daughter of Sacrifice.Our mother country is in need of a man that: Knowswhat a Mexican should beEnvisionshow to save our mother countryUnderstandsMexico thoroughly and what it lacks ofLovesPeace, discerning the meaning of what is courage and what is recklessnessDeservesGods TrustHasAcknowledgement of ones own consciousnessMaintainsHonesty at life threatening situationsFollowsOnes Consciousness as one follows GodWe will learn from the wise people from China, Germany, United States of America and England to gain a place in the front row of civilization, industry and humanity.

FELLOW CITIZENS:There is a wide way towards ruin, and another narrow one towards life. Which one do we prefer?Our land, under-developed or badly handled, is like a desert. But, with 50 years of hard work, this desert could turn into a gold mine; as weve seen in numerous examples from progressive nations. We respectfully advise capitalists and workers to gather and mass-produce in order to reduce cost. If costs get too high we will be forced to import our goods from foreign countries, and if the honorable merchants decide not to bring us their merchandise we could starve to death. And please be aware that our fields cannot be productive as long as there is no Peace. Grow: cedar wood, mahogany, cascalote tree (caesalpinia cacalaco), cocoa, coconut, coffee beans, breadfruit (artocarpus artily), banana, higuerilla wood (micandra spruceana), vanilla, sarsaparrilla (smilax aspera), cotton, alfalfa, corn, rice, wheat, potatoes, onions and bitter yucca. Raise: hens, cattle and pigs using modern methods. Honorable co-citizen congressmen: This country asks you to cut any law that could set obstacles to the industries and establish laws that support industries. It is your duty and is vital and fundamental. Lets be patriotic and not selfish.La Paz (Peace) general store Benito E.
