''I'HESE Bonds were issued in 1865 by the Mexican Government, through tlie house of J. W. Corlies & Co. of New York, and is the only issue recognized by the said Government. The Wood- house Bonds are counterfeit, and will not be paid. Parties dealing m the above-mentioned Bonds should consult the Mexican Consul-General, who examines them, as the number of counterfeits and stolen Bonds is very large. Chihuahua, the capital of the State of the same name, is a beautiful citv of 20,000 people. There is a great deal of wealth and refinement m Chihauhau, this city being the center of a rich mining, agricultural and stock-growing country, and its magnificent cathedral is one of the most imposing edifices on the continent. From Chihauhau the road runs along the central plateau, through mountain passes and among fertile, valleys, with every variety of landscape. Immense herds and flocks graze beside the track, while the agriculture is of that diversified character only possible where the products of the tropic and temperate climate may be grown in the same field. DURANGO, a city of about 30,000 people, is not located directly on the main line of the Mexican Central, but lies a short distance westward, and is easily reached by stages from the railroad. SoMBRERETE, with its colleges and mines and a population of 20,000, is an interesting point on the route. Fresnillo, the junction of the Northern and Southern divisions of the Mexican Central Eailroad, has about 28,000 inhabitants and is also engaged extensively in silver mining. Zacatecas is the next point of importance. Its population is 64,000. Telephonic and telegraphic service and the electric light — which illumines the plaza— are significant evidences that this interior city in the heart of Mexico has begun to feel the influence of that great tide of immigration from the United States which is sure soon to sweep over Mexico and break on the borders of the Central American States beyond. The mines of Zacatecas have produced, with the primitive method of mining not yet entirely discarded in Mexico, about $1,000,000,000. Aguas Calientes, population 35,000, is situated in an agricultural country of great fertility and is also noted for its hot springs. San Luis Potosi lies a short distance east of the main line on a pro- jected branch to Tampico, on the Gulf of Mexico, but is now reached by stages from the railroad. It contains 45,000 people and is spoken of as the most beautiful city in the Republic of Mexico. Guadalajara, located on a branch projected through that point to San Bias, is readily accessible by stages and other conveyances. Population nearly 100,000. A place of enterprise and thrift and one of the principal manufacturing centers. The State of Jalisco, of which Guadalajara is the capital, is probably the richest agricultural district on the route. Other cities of importance in this State are — Lagos, with a population of 20,000. CiUDAD DE Guzman, 25,000. Sayula, 16,000. Guanajuato, the capital of the State of the same name, has a popula- tion of 71,000. Agriculture of a very diversified character is successful there, but at the same time this little State is credited with the richest and most extensive ore deposits in the world. Leon, on the line of the Mexican Central, has a population of 82,000. Celaya, in the same State of Guanajuato, is said to contain 80,000 people. QUERETARO, the scene of the downfall and execution of Maximilian, is located on the Mexican Central and has a population of 50,000. The State of Hidalgo contains a number of populous towns, among which are — Pachuca, the capital, with 25,000 inhabitants. The State of Mexico formerly included what is now the federal district. This State is both an agricultural and mining country and has a population of 710,500. Toluca, the capital, has a population of 11,376. The City of Mexico was a seat of art, science and commerce long before the Spanish conquerors reached the shores of the new world. It is situated in the center of the great valley of Mexico, which measures forty-five miles long and thirty-one miles wide. Its elevation above the sea is 7,420 feet, which gives it a climate of remarkable uniformity, the range of the thermometer being from 50 to 70 deg. F. The rainy season begins early in June and continues until September, showers occurring usually in the afternoons and nights. Population 300,000. WHAT TO EXPECT. Tlu' tourist may expect to liml elegant accommodations en route, good liotels in tho principal cities, a charming climate, li<)spital)le jjcople, and more that is really novel and interesting than could be f(nind in a trip to Paris or Constantinople. He is invited here into no beaten j)atii, but a country heretofore the most isolated and remote, on account of tlie lack of transportation, is suddenly thrown open and made accessible by a magnilicently-e(iuii)ped railroad running from the Rio Grande to its ancient capital. The ])rospector in search of an opening for business may expect to find a country of comparatively undeveloped but great natural resources. Mexico has long maintained tiie rank of the greatest silver-producing country in the world, yet her mines iiave never received anything but the most primitive development. Agriculture of the most diversified char- acter has been carried on in tbe same way. While the country is capable of producing the raw materials in greater variety than almost any otlier, the innnufacturing interests are unini])()rtant as compared with the great advantages offered. A more promising lield for the operations of Ameri- can capital and enterprise was never opened. What is needed is the introduction of American methods in mining and treating the ores ; improved machinery in manufactures ; improved methods and ma(^hinery in ag]"iculture ; im])roved grades of sheep and cattle, and these with the already acquired i-ailwa^' service and the infusion of American enterpri.'-e and energy, are the elements Mexico has waited for so long and now wel- comes most heartily. COMMERCE WITH MEXICO. Customs OH Froisilil— Provisions for IJoiuled AVarelionses— Frelglit 1o Pass the Frontier and Duties he Collected at Destination— Examination of Passengers' Baggage. Article 1. — Goods imported by the railway trains authorized to make the international traffic v.dth this Republic, through Matamoros, Camargo, Mier, Guerrero, Nuevo Laredo, Piedgras Negras, Paso del Norte, Nogales and other frontier customs already established, or that may be established in future, may come from the place of their origin or from the place where the train started, consigned toany of the above mentioned customs, or to Ciudad Victoria, Monterey, Saltillo, Chihuahua, Mexico and other cities that the Government may determine, to be there cleared. Art. 2.— Said goods .shall be subject to the payment of import duties, according to tho to riff, only when they be interned into the Republic; but shall be exempt from said payment while they remain in the fiscal or private warehouses at Matamoros, Camargo, Mier, Guerrero, Nuevo Laredo, Piedras Negras, Paso del Norte and Nogales, and the goods which may be sold for consumption in the above mentioned localities, and to supply the towns of all that frontier line, in a longitudinal direction, and as far as the limit of the respective municipal jurisdictions toward the interior of the country, shall also be exempted. But this exemption does not hold good as regards the 1 .37 per cent, municipal duty, and the impost on packages, which shall be paid at -once. Art. 3.— Goods imported through the different places of the frontier line, and consigned to said places, respectively, and all goods in transit, before reaching Ciudad Victoria, Monterey, Saltillo or Chihuahua, shall be precisely cleared at the frontier custom house through which they come into the national territory. Said goods shall enjoy the franchises men- tioned in Art. 2. as regards merchandise destined for consumption within the limits therein mentioned; but all goods destined beyond said limits, for internation. without reaching the custom-houses specified for clearance, shall pay at once, at the custom-house through which they have entered into the national territory, all the duties to them assigned by the tariff. Art. 4.— Goods coming from Europe or some other country, with their corresponding consular invoices, shall be allowed to pass as those coming from the United States; but the Mexican Consul at the American city where the goods may have been shipped shall have to legalize said in- voices, and expression shall be made therein of the train and cars or wagons which are to take said goods. Art. 5.— Goods already imported through the frontier customs for internation, shall pay, in said customs, their corresponding duties, or these duties may be paid at those customs where they may be consigned ; but in either case said goods shall be subject to a new and final verification at the custom-house where the clearance is to be made. Art. 6. — All goods that may be introduced into the fiscal warehouses of the maritime, frontier and clearance custom-houses in the Republic shall be subject to the payment of two cents per day for each thirty cubic centi^ meters for storage from the day of their introduction into said warehouses, to the day inclusive, on which they may be taken out; excepting those cases in which, in compliance with some judicial or administrative reso- lution, said goods may be detained therein; and in such a case, no storage shall be charged from the day on which that resolution be given, provided the final judgment be favorable to the interested parties. But in case the judgment be adverse, then the storage shall be paid in full, a discount of ten per cent, being allowed after the first thirty days of the goods having been stored. Art. 7. — The word "storage" means the fact of the goods being in an enclosed place and under the care of the revenue officers or keepers of the warehouse. No storage shall be paid and no responsibility whatever shall be incurred upon by the collectors of customs when the goods may remain in the open air, out of enclosures, on the wharves, public squares or on the public highroad, as may be the case when there is no time or no proper locality to store said goods, or owing to the interested parties having had no time to clear them. Art. 8, — The documents required for the import and internation of goods, as above specified, shall be, besides the manifests ordered by the general tarifi: of customs, one consular invoice for the Department of the Treasury; a copy of the same for the frontier custom-house through which the goods are to be introduced into Mexican territory; a third copy for the clearance custom-house, and a fourth copy for the expeditors or interested parties. The least substantial difi'erence from one of these copies with the other, detected by the Department of the Treasury or by the Officers of the custom-house of entry, shall be punished with a fine of from $100 to $1,000 for each one of them, and said fine shall be made payable by the respective custom-house collector or by the Department of the Treasury, as the case may be. Art. 9. — All goods that may be found outside the limits marked in ar- ticle 3 of the present law, not covered by the respective guias or fiscal documents, shall incur the penalties determined by the general tariff. Art. 10. — It is hereby permitted to re-export all goods that may exist in deposit in warehouses, under bond, and said bond may be canceled by the simple fact of said re-exportation; but, as regards goods having al- ready paid their duties, no bonification of said duties shall be made. Art. 11. — The different railway companies, as well as the merchants or persons importing goods, shall furnish general and ample bonds, sufficient to cover their responsibilities for all fines and pecuniary penalties that may be incurred by them for violations of the present law. The bonds to be furnished by the railway companies shall be to the entire satisfaction of the Department of the Treasury, and those to be furnished by the mer- chants or persons importing goods shall be to the entire satisfaction of the collectors of customs. Those persons having furnished no general or ample bond shall furnish a special one in each case, or shall have to pay the fine at once. Art. 13. — The reimport of national products shall be free of every duty, whether they be shipped by national or foreign vessels to ports in the United States, or by American railways, or other means of transportation, through the territory of that country and destined to any maritime or frontier custom-house in the republic. To profit by this concession, the regulations that the Executive shall establish on this subject must be complied with. Art. 13. — Permission is likewise given for the transit of foreign goods which, either coming by land or by sea from any foreign port, may be shipped by the international railways in Mexico and destined to some place in the United States or in some other foreign country, provided that the regulations tliat the Executive shall establish on the subject shall be complied with. Art. 14. — Fraction 7 of article 107, chapter 35 of the tariff, which grants the right of withdrawing from the frontier custom-houses the quantity of goods or merchandise that it may suit the interested parties, is hereby inodifietl; ami suid parties sliall pay the excess of customs dues on the |30 wliich the above-mentioned law allows tliem free. Art. 15. — Goods included in the free list of the tariff may be trans- ported covered by a simple " pass," after their importation lias been made. Art. 16. — The documents covering mercliandise proceeding from any entry custom-house shall be returned under sealed letter, certified by the custum-house where they may be cleared to the custom-house wliere they came from; and this shall be done within the time and according to the provisions of the regulations for tlie present law; fraction 3, article 85, chapter 19, of the tariff being thus modified. Art. 17. — Passengers' luggage, when coming in the same train, remains subject to the provisions of the tariff and of the regulations for the present law. GOODS USED IN MEXICO. The articles which we are exporting to Mexico are as follows : Acids, agricultural implements, live animals, beer, ale and porter, billiard tables, blacking, books, pamphlets, brass goods, breadstuffs, brooms, brushes, candles, carriages, railway cars, clocks, coffee and spices, coal, combs, copper, cordage, raw cotton, cotton piece goods, dry fancy gent's furnish- ing goods, jewelry, millinery, clothing, furs, etc., drugs, chemicals, earthen and chinaware, fancy articles, fruit (green and preserved), glass and glassware, hats and caps, hemp manufacturers, hides and skins, kips, india-rubber goods, iron mauufactiu-es, steel manufactures, lead manu-. factures, leather manufactures, lime and cement, musical and scientific instruments, matches, naval stores, oil, ordnance stores, paintings, paper and stationery, perfumery, plated ware, printing presses and types, provi- sions, quicksilver, rice, scales and balances, seeds, sewing machines, soap, spirits, starch, steam fire engines, sugar (refined), candles, oil. tallow, tin- ware, tobacco, trunks and valises, varnish, watches, wearing apparel, wine, woodenware, machinery and tools, carpets, harness, furniture, light and heavy clothing, wire fence, portable houses, etc., etc. The direction in which large gains are to be made is in the articles which Mexico imports from Europe. The great bulk of the trade which Mexico has with England is in cotton goods. Changes of an economic rather than of a political character are going on, wdiich are destined to enlarge our commercial intercourse with Mexico. In the first place, we are manu- facturing many articles which the Mexicans prefer to those imported from Europe, either because of their greater cheapness or adaptability. In the next place, our railroads will bring the two Republics under the iSime transportation system. The greatest demand for American manufactured goods comes from the wdiite and mixed races, which constitute the w^ealthy and middle classes. Some of the business houses in the large cities have branch es- tablishments in several cities, and are worth many millions. These classes wield the power of the Republic, and to-day are anxious to have brought to their doors that business energy and material progress that will give them the comforts and luxuries, as well as the business facilities, enjoyed in Europe and the United States. A large proportion of the wholesale trade, how^ever, is in the hands of German, English, and French houses, who have been struggling to obtain the control, and have battled with each other until the Germans liave obtained the ascendancy. At present the greater i^roportion of the whole- sale trade is under the control of a powerful ring of German importers and merchants, although a good proportion of the wholesale trade is yet in the hands of old Spanish and Mexican merchants, wdio are looking to the United States for a large future trade. The native races, or Indians, constitute almost exclusively the laboring classes of the Republic, and the assertion that they do not consume foreign goods is not borne out by the facts, although the manufacturing industry in Mexico to-day is by no means insignificant. There are over 80 cotton factories, which produce mostly a brown, coarse cotton, locally known as mantas, not a little of the raw material for which is imported from the United States. In fact, over 31,000 bales of cotton annually are exported to Mexico from the United States. Although some 4,000,000 pieces of 33 yards each per annum are produced by the Mexican manufac- turers, and 15 print works that turn out annually 600,000 pieces, and 20 woolen mills that produce annually 5,000,000 pieces of cassimere and 9 woolen cloth, and only one stereotype foundry— still Mexican manufac- turers are unable to supply the home demand, and the American cotton goods, cloths, blankets and calicoes, on account of their better designs and greater durability, are being preferred. The British, German and French manufacturers buy their raw material in the United States, carry it across the Atlantic, manufacture it into calicoes and woolens, and then ship it across the ocean to Mexico, and undersell our manufacturers. The cotton goods of coarse textui;e are sized to such a, degree that the finish completely disguiges the quality, until a soaking rain reduces the fabric to the condition of a straining cloth. Here the durability of the American goods makes a revelation to, the Mexican that he has been swindled, and the result is but natural. Along the Rio Grande and Central and Southern Mexico, the Mexicans, are becoming large buyers of nearly every class of American goods in preference to European. MEXICAN TARIFF AND TRADE REGULATIONS. It will repay our merchants to examine carefully the following facts in connection with the list of goods mostly exported from the United States to Mexico. The duties thereon are calculated by the French standard of weights and measures. A metre is 39 inches, a kilogram is 2^ pounds.

There exists also a municipal and State duty on foreign goods, so that when the goods are landed at Vera Cruz they pass through the custom-house and pay the tariff, then another tax is laid upon them by the municipality when they leave Vera Cruz. All foreign goods must be passed regularly through the custom-house at Vera Cruz, when con- signed to Mexico City by way of Vera Cruz. Upon thoir arrival in Mexico City, the goods have to again go through the custom-house in that city, the packages subjected to another opening, the local tax to be paid, and more charges for stamps, stevedores, etc. In spite of all this annoyance the merchants find the trade very profitable. It may be well to note that there is no bonded warehouse system under the Mexican tariff laws, and hence all goods must pay the duties when imported, one month being the time allowed for adjusting all questions of difference and payment. Before the goods are shipped: 1st. Consult the Mexican Consul at your port on the regulations, and follow his instructions to the letter carefully, obtaining the forms to be filled out from him. 2d, Invoice the goods, pro- curing the Mexican Consul's authentication to the same, or in the absence of a consul or vice-consul, authentication by two responsible merchants. 3d. Manifest the goods with one or the other above specified authenti- cations. 4th. Obtain the Mexican Consul's receipt, when it can be obtained, on separate paper, for the fees paid on authentication, invoice and mani- fest. 5th. Send all documents with the goods to whoever is to conduct the entry of the goods into Mexico. 6th. See that the manifest is made in triplicate and contain an exact detail of quantity, kind, quality and value of everything in the cargo to be entered. Unless this rule is strictly com- plied with a heavy fine will be incurred. 7th. In packing the goods, put each class as classified by the tariff in separate packages, those calculated by net weight of a certain specified value in one, those by gross weight in another, and those by square metre in another, and those by ad valorem in another, and when different rates are attached to different kinds of merchandise, whether appraised by net or gross weight, or square metre or ad valorem, place the goods with the same tariff rates in their respective packages, classifying the respective goods by values of rates as well as by the manner of appraisement. The classification by value is as necessary as the others, from the fact, that when different classes of values are packed promiscuously, the appraisement will be made upon the whole package at the rate corresponding to the highest rate of any article contained therein. 8th. In packing goods to be appraised by square metre, every package should contain the same number of yards. This will save the opening of packages, and the calculation can be made much easier for the invoice. TRADE WITH MEXICO. To thoroughly understand the present prospect of trade with Mexico outside of her promise of future development, it will be well to note the following facts : In 1876, Antonio Garcia Cubas, one of the most reliable of Mexican writers, summed up the population of Mexico at 9,495,157, as the census of 1875, of which 20 per cent, were of the European race and nearest de- scendents of the Spaniards, or 1,899,031. Of the remaining population 43 per cent, were of the mixed race, or 4,082,918 ; and 37 per cent, of the native Indian race, or 3,513,208. Within the last seven years the population has increased considerably, and especially within the last two years, the increase being through colo- nies ap.d the natural development arising from the unexampled progress rnade in railroad building. The population of some of the larger cities are as follows : The City of Mexico, 280,000, which is larger than Rome in Italy, which has 244,484, or Lisbon with 253,000 ; San Luis Potosi 45,000 ; Puebla 76,817 ; Leon in the State of Guanajuato, 100,000 ; Guanajuato 63,000; Guadalajara, 93,875, Toluca, 11,376 ; Colima, 31,774; Zacatecas, 62,000 ; Merida, capital of the State of Yucatan, 56,000 ; Aguas Calien- tes, 35,000 ; Morelia, 25,000 ; Campeche, 26,000 ; Saltillo, 17,000 : Chihuahua, 18,000; Durango, 22,000; Pachuca, 15,000; Mazatlan, 13,000; Oaxaca, 26,708 ; Queretaro, 48,000 ; and Tlaxcala, 36,463. It may be seen from the foregoing that the cities and towns of Mexico wdl compare favorably with other nations, and that she is almost as thickly settled in proportion to the extent of her territory as the United States, since the latter has only If) 13.91 inhabitants to the square miU>, Avhile Mexico has about 12,21 inhabi- tants to the square mile. MONEY, WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. The Money, Weights and Measures of Mexi(^o are as follows: The money consists of gold, silver and nickel. The Rold coins nro §'.'0 and SKi nieces, and are worth in U. S. gold, $19.0.'jand $ir).ri5. The silver consists of the dollars, lialvcs, ([uarters, dimes and half-dimes. ■ The silver dollar is worth 80c. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. ™,i- A I.

The attention of citizens of the United States residing in Mexico is called to the fact that the laws of Mexico require that all foreigners shall be matriculated at the Department for Foreign Affairs in order that they may have a recognized foreign nationality. Application for matriculation papers should be made through the Con- sulate General at Mexico, and through the consular officials in other parts of the Republic. This is important in the event of any complications be- tween individuals and the Government. Not only is this important in relation to any complications, but it is ab- solutely necessary ip order that a foreigner may have any standing in a court of justice in the Republic. No act performed prior to the fact of matriculation can be remedied or benefited by subsequent matriculation. Hence the protection awarded by this law must be sought before any business is transacted by a foreign resident in the Republic. Under Mexican law it is necessary that an agent should be appointed with two separate powers of attorney, issued in accordance with the for- malities of Mexican law, who is a resident of Mexico, one with power to transact business, and the other to collect, and if necessary, to bring suit in a Mexican court for the claim that may result from any commercial contracts. Unless this is complied with, no contracts made by a foreigner who is not a resident of Mexico, and matriculated, can be enforced in a Mexican court. Second, No judgment by default obtained in a foreign court will be re- cognized by Mexican courts, and in every case a trial must either be had in the foreign country, with the defendant, or his representative, in court before the execution can be issued from a Mexican court, or the trial must be held in the Mexican court, the case having been commenced by a rep- resentative who is a I'esidentof Mexico and duly authorized by the foreign house, in which case only a judgment by default, or upon trial, can be legally had. Third, Contracts made by commercial travelers for foreign houses not established in the Republic, or through commission merchants, unless duly authorized agents, can only be legally enforced by placing said claims in the hands of an agent duly authorized, who is a resident of Mexico. HOW TO REACH MEXICO. A direct route to the City of Mexico and points on the Mexican Central Railway, is via St. Louis, Texarkana and El Paso; to Monterey and points on the Mexican National Railway, via St. Louis and Laredo. The Missouri Pacific Railway and Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific Railway, a system of railway embracing a mileage of 9,757 miles, under one man- agement, run through sleeping-cars daily from New York and Boston to St. Louis, and from St. Louis to El Paso and Laredo. Close connection is made at El Paso with the Mexican Central Railway, which runs through sleeping-cars to City of Mexico, and with Mexican National Railway, at Laredo, which runs through cars to Saltillo, thus enabling travelers from the seaboard, by these routes, to reach the City of Mexico and all points on the Mexican Central Railway as well as all points on the Mexican National Railway, with only two changes of cars. Close connection is made at St. Louis with all Eastern Trunk Lines, which run through sleeping-cars to St. Louis such as the Pennsylvania Railroad from Philadelphia and New York, and the New York Central from New York.
