Synopsis

Excerpt from Reports of Explorations and Surveys: To Ascertain the Practicability of a Ship-Canal Between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, by the Way of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec

Out of a population of, say fifty thousand, the number of people in the vicinity of whose towns a canal or railroad would pass, some four or five hundred are white men, gente de razon as they conceitedly style themselves. These are the rancheros in the country and the shop-keepers in the villages; they form the ready instruments of designing leaders, to collect the Indians and steal the horses, and make pronunciamientos. Ignorant, immoral, hating innovations, revengeful, these form the real impediments to progress - the willing tools in the initiation of civil war and anarchy.
