Once Highly Civilised.
In the many street corner conver­
sations in which tlfb Mexicans are
discussed. tlie words "negroes” and
frequently
"Indians"
are
so
used as to lend the impression there
are still numbers of Americans who
are under the misapprehension that
the Mexican la aulne kind ut a negro
—or, at least, that there is a strong
infusion of African blood, as in Cuba
or Haiti.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. Not only is there less African
blood in Mexico than in the United
State«, in proportion to population,
but there is less even after you have
eliminated our black belt, Many bet-
ter informed persons refer to the na­
tive Mexicans as Indians. But they
are not Indians as we know Indians,
although they ar« of the Red race
stock.
When the Spanish conquer­
or came the bulk of th« aboriginal
Mexicans were not savages, but a
civilized people as far removed from
the wild nomads of North America
as the white races themselves. They
were tillers of the toil; engaged in
manufacturing: had a complex sys­
tem of governi »ent;
hundreds of
miles of well built road.i and trail;,
had a written alphabet and kept a
systematic
record of
historical
events; in fact it may be truthfully
said that their civilization, was in its
particular ways, as highly advanced
as that of the Spaniards who conquer
ed them.
Immediately following
the Spanish conquest began a period
of oppression whose end and alm was
the destruction of the last vistage of
Aztec civilization and the enslave-
tnent of the race.
The population of Mexico in aii-
proximately 15,000,000 of which the
aboriginal Mexican element Is vari­
ously estimated at from one-third to
one-half or even more of the total
The foreign and European clement Is
estimated at 1,500,000 and the re­
mainder of population Is classed ns

aboriginal
blood
It Is to this mixture cf
European and Aztec that is attributed
the peculiar traits of the "Hpanish-
Amer'-an’’ and the BUi poeedly woe­
ful inferiority of our neighbors to the
southward.
