The article focuses on the effective suffrage during the time of the U.S. General Porfirio Diaz. euphemism. It is true that in the time of Diaz there was no suffrage and no pretense of it; but it is to be regretted that after the fight to obtain it and had for a moment seen it gleam, it should have again disappeared from the political horizon without leaving any hope for its reestablishment. Still, the lack of effective suffrage at present is not to be imputed exclusively to the fault of the political authorities, but in great part to the apathy and indifference of the citizens and above all to their skepticism of the good faith of those in power, consequent upon the crushing brutality of political leadership.
