Our Relations with Mexico. PRESIDENT DIAZ'S MESSAGE. The statement in President Diaz's annual message, transmitted to the Mexican con- gress on the 16th instant, relative to Mex- ican-American affairs, are in exact accord- ance with the correspondence which has very recently passed between the two gov- ernments. The important point in the co respondence is the request of the Mexi- can soyernment for the United States to ro- scind the order under which General Ord sends his troops into Mexicoin pursuit of raid- ers. This request is made asa condition to the epee of a treaty between the two countries for mutua! military co-operation on the Kio Grande. After due consideration the request was declined. Mexico having for. many years failed to prevent raids, even whet! she had a sufficient force on the border to «lo So, the United States thought it best to do it own protecting independently. The friendiy co-operation of Mexico is at all times desir-d ard acceptable, but the present position ot this government wi!l not be receded from in oréer to obtain that co-operation. THE STORY ABOUT MEXICANS ON THE MARCH. No information has been received at the War department or the Department of State confirmatory of the dispatch received this morning stating that Mexican troops are marching towards the border. ‘The statement that they are is not credited. Should it prove true, it is regarded as a matter of very little consequence, as General Ord has a sufficient force to prevent any acts of violence on the ‘Texas side of the Rio Grande, and also to pur- sue any raiders pack into Mexico. Itis hoped that if the Mexican government has decided to send a large force of regular troops to the Rio Grande that such decision is with a view to military co-operation with our forces to pre- serve the peace and break up Smuggling and cattle stealing. If it is for the purpose of pr. tec: ing smugglers and thieves against the pur- suit of our iroops, it will be soon found out that a mistake has been made, as it was deter- mined some time past by the present adminis- tration to protect the border from Mexican raids at all hazards.

The Massachusetts democratic convention in session in Boston yesterday, after making the nominations reported in THE Stak last evening, adopted resolutions denouncing the republicans of Massachusetts for their failure te condemn the plot to capture the presidency, and their tacit approval of the result of it and shar in the benefits derived from that re- sult, and declaring that they are not entitled tocall upon any democratic or independent eiliz n to act with their party or vote for their candidates. Both the nation and the state, they declare, have been made the tools of pri- yate enterprises, and congresses and legisla- tures have shaped their laws to meet the de- mands thereol..

Y., Sept. 25.—The republican state convention assembied here this morn- ing. Hon. Roscoe Conkling was chosen tem- porary chairman and permanent president. On taking the chair he said: We have met in a year likely to be the hinge on which much in the future will turn: a year which in its politi- press on other years. America, in common with every land in Christendom, has been pass- ing through a period of depressed industries and commerce. Labor and capital have both suffered much everywhere. “Hard times’ have fallen on al! lands; not on all alike, be- cause less heavily on ours than on otters. Great Britain, Germany, Russia, France, and other countries are passing through deep tribulations. We have overpassed tue worst, and restoration, gradual bu! constant, is sure unless want of wisdom and faltacious meas- ures block the way. The matchless resources of the country and the matchless enterprise of our pe will not fail to cure d our bi a i three things cau be assured. Ist. © must not destroy the headway which has been made, and unch the country on new seas of cou- fusion and agitation by wild and restless at- tempts to control the laws of trade and to ereate ues by legislation. Financial sta. | i ty on which men can rely .d must not be exehan ger for exploded theories or novel devices. Per- | manence and fixedness in laws are often bet- ter than philosophy or even perfection. 24. We must have frugal, honest. government, earnest jand steady administration, and hon. + constitutional currency, with the public credit kept high aud untarnished, and the public treasury defended against unfounded claims and against all schemes of plunderers and speculators. jd. We must have peace and order and protection, full an? equal. be- fore the law, for the rights of all men every- where, north and scuth. The odject of just government is not to carryan business, but to ee life, property and rights, and thus to leave every citizen free and sate in all law- ful exeriions, opportunities and enterprises in which he chooses toembark. Wealth or prop- erty cannot be conjured up by legislation nor by political parties, no sleight of hand can produce it; no philosopher's stone or per- yetun motion can be discovered by legisia ive device, however cunning. Property is the product of labor. It must be bkewed out of the forest, loughed cut of the field, blasted out of the mine, eel out of the anvil, wrought out in the factory and the furnace. Labor is at the bot- tom of itali; and the nation in which there are the most laborers, and in which labor is best cherished and cared for, must be the richest apd most prosperous- Capital and labor are natural allies. When they work to- gether, Doth are enriched : when they are hos- iile or separated, both suffer. What is the difficulty now? Business is stagnant, capital 18 afraid, and labor lacksemployment. Capital is alwaysafraid when jabor lacks employment. Whenever capital is not afraid, there is brisk It has been asserted again and again that 3,600,000 laboring people in the Unitea States who want work are ont of ¢ but everybody knows this cannot The picture has been overpainted. fa truth is bad enough and sad enouga; business is depressed, and houest, honorabie labor is sufiering.

This action of the Paris Jury agrees with the opinion of the judges at “Spool cotton sewing machine our Centennial Exposition, who decreed a medal, and strongly commended the Willi- mantic thread for its surpassing excellence.

What for? Js net currency ed up in every bank and money center and depositary? Cannot money be borrowed in millions at the lowest rates of interest? When all the paper and coin in the country is put intoactive circulation will there not be abundant currency? Confidence, sta- bility, and assurance that credits and values will not be tampered with will unlock capital and put money in circulation, but schemes for watering the currency and shrinkage in its purchasing power, and thus changing bar- gains and transactions wil! frighten capital and make ithide. What is to be done with a new isste of paper? It is tobe paid we are told to bor dol ie! hat are hen to with it? ‘Will they give it ay ie They will keep it or loan. What good will that if put into circulation it will dilute and depreciate the whole currency and put =) prices for the poor to pay. and the wages of labor will not ad- vance fast enough to keep up with the ad- yance of prices of food and commodities. Ali borrowers with security can borrow at the cheapest rates of interest now—this is all they can do afier more grcenbacks are issued. Bui to pay off bonds with paper currency will stop so much interest. Yes; but what stands in the way? Gold can be bought too dear. In the first place this would be flat repudiation. Why?

Again thé government and the American people in Cong assembled, said when they asked money for bonds that more than $10)),100,009 of legal-tend- ers never should be outstanding. This was to Say. tne Dends shou'd never be paid by legal- tender notes. This pledge obtained the moaey and there it stands, to be kept in honor or re- pudiated in dishonor. What is the reason for striking at the bonds of the United States, or at those who hold them? The chief objection now seems to be that the bonds are not taxed. ‘There are several auswers to this. In the first place they were and are taxed, and taxed in advance. The man who pays par in gold for a bond bearing only 4 per cent. interest, and thus loans his money for 47. or only a fraction more than half the legal and usual interest in this com hee for the exemption from further taxation in advance, and. pave, pretty largely forit. To tax again or differently now would be to break the contract just as much asto refuse payment in whole orin part. The bonds and the legal tender notes were issued to save the nation’s life in an hour of dire wep and now it is proposed in violation of the Jaws and faith of the American peo- pe to repudiate and depreciate both. it is pi to uproot our whole finan- cial system when its worst evils have been over) to overthrow banks, and to set shifting congressional majorities, caucuses and coalitions at the work of printing paper promises or “fiat” money as much and asoften as they please.

The ee party is against it, and one of its missions is to manage to final success and relief the ugly fuanciat legacy of a war which it did not make— a war in which every repubjican in every state and on every spot was on his country’s side.
