MEN AS PACK ANIMALS.
The Cargadors of Mexico Compete
With Horses and Mules.
Men Who Carry Enormous Loads for
Incredible Distances—They Work
Cheaper Than the Beasts of Burden.
Hard lot of the Cargador His Birth
and Life-Marvelous Feats of the
Correo—Six Cents a Day Suffices for
a Cagardor’s Food Being Displaced
by Drays and Railroads.
From the Chicago Times.
One of the most interesting institutions
in the Mexican republic is the oargador.
This cargador is a hardy and powerfully
built man who earns a living by carrying
upon his back heavy loads, a carga being
a measure of weight of 300 pounds which
such a person is supposed to be able to
carry, hence the name cargador.
This peculiar individual is not the
product of a single section of country; on
the contrary, his sphere is general. In
the cities ho is one of the first persons
whom a stranger meets as he alights
from the platform of the cars or the step
of the stage coach. The cargador rushes
up to the arrival and offers to carry his
baggage, from his hand satchel up
to his heaviest trunk, regardless of its
weight or size, or the distance to be cov
ered. In the city he also enters into suc
cessful competition with pack mules and
delivery wagons, carrying heavy loads of
merchandise to and from business houses,
and in such places where corn and fodder
have become uncommonly dear through
prevailing drought, or where the streets
are stony and uneven, the cargador has
almost entirely superseded both pack
mules and delivery wagon.
While such arc his chief occupations,
he does not draw the line at anything, and
can be frequently seen carrying ore out of
the mines, water through the town, and
even corpse and coffin to the grave.
A KEOUT.AB PACK ANIMAI,.
Out of the city the occupation of the
cargador is equally diversified. Above
ail things he is a pack man, as the mule,
horse, or ass is a pack animal, and he en
ters into active competetition with them
iu the matter of carrying freight into
and out of towns where the railroads
have not made their advent, or where the
topography of the country procludes the
use of the heavy lreight wagons. In
places where ho has the least ad van tag

over the animals,there he thrives best. This
perhaps accounts for the great numbers
in which he exists in the almost inacces
sible “Sierra” districts.
The mountain cargador, who scales the
dizzying precipices and descends the
deep ravines of the Sierra Madres, is by
far the hardiest and most interesting
type of his class F’ivc feet six inches is
his usual hgiht and 140 pounds the aver
age v lit. He belongs to the dark-com
plexic and and ignorant portion of the
masses, called by the better class of i>eo
ple "Indios.”
As lie stands before mo, so short,
slightly stooped, with tliin, long face and
apparent lack of chest, one would scarce
ly think him capable of walking the
smoothest level with such staggering
loads as he daily packs through some
mountain pass To be fully appreciated,
he must beset n stripped of his shirt and
with his cotton trousers rolled up almost
to the groins, ready to pick up his load.
Then the powerful develpoment of this
swarthy man of the mountain can be ob
served at its best. His neck is one mass
of hard muscles. His shouldersare broad
and magnificently strong, while the actions
of the large add powerful sinews can l>e
traced at every motion that lie makes.
The calves of His logs and the muscles of
his t high, from constant walking and hill
Climbing, are abnormally developed and
possess a remarkable degree of hardness.
His feet, protected only by sandals, or
“guaraches,” as is called the hard leather
sole tightly strapped between the toes,
over the arch of the instep and around
the ankle, have acquired a hardness that
makes them impervious to the sharp and
pointed rocks among which he picks his
way.
Such is his physical makeup. In all
other respects ho is not unlike the thou
sands of Mexicans of the lower class -
filthy, lustful, and treacherous. Like
people of his kind the world over he
wastes his life between the making and
the spending of a penny. Food costs him
but a few cents and lodging not a far
thing. Ho rises from his out-of-door couch
in the early morning hour and walks
many miles before he stops for breakfast.
A cup of coffee and a few hot tortillas,
which are a pastry of mashed coru and
water, and serve as a substitute for
bread, form his morning meal. For din
ner he feasts on tortillas, a plate of beans,
and a cup of black coffee. At supper fol
low more beans, more tortillas, and an
other cup of coffee. If he is somewhat of
an epicure and plays in exceptionally
good luck he gets a piece of dried beof now
and then or gloats over a nice fried egg.
His three meals, if particularly luxuri
ous, cost him about four cents apiece,
though he often manages to live on six
cents a day.
BORN TO HIS BUISINEBS.
The cargador is born on the roadside,
grows up in the mountain paths, and is
finally laid to rest in the stony bed of
some mountain creek by the roadway on
which lie had spent his life. As an in
fant. he is carried through the roughest
country and worst weather, ail wrapped
Up in a' buudle on his mother’s back, with
in a day or so after birth, for his advent
into the world delays tHe traveling of his
hardy parent seldom longer than forty
eight hours. At a very early date he dis
cards milk and feasts on “atole,” a starch
like drink made by boiling the meal of
corn. It is not long before beans and tor
tillas are gradually added to his diet, and
when he once learns to eat and like these
they become his only food. With such
scant variety of edibles and such wear
and tear the infant cargador grows up
dirty but healthy and very playful.
At 4 he is no longer a baby, but a boy m
white cotton waist and long white
breeches of the same fabric. At that age
this child of the road runs uncomplain
ingly alongside of his mother as she fol
lows her fast-gaited husband over tbe zig
zag paths of the rocky Sierras. Soon lie
no longer clings to his mother's skirts,
but fast glows up in the family’s profes
sion, and at the age of t> he already car.

ries such little loads as he can comfort
ably handle, and at the same time keep
up with the parental procession.
Several more years elapse, and the time
has come when the boy shapes his future
course. Sometimes lie leaves the family
and goes to the towns in quest of lighter
work ; sometimes he goes to other sections
to ply the trade in which he lias grown
up, but iu most cases he continues right
along with his father aud mother in the
line of work into which he was virtually
born. Tliis, too, is the time when the
young cargador takes unto himself a wife
and becomes the head of a family of his
own. Thus ho Jogs along through life as
did his parents until somedays lie falls by
tlie wayside the victim of a mortal wuond
or some fatal malady.
FROM TOWN TO TOWN.
Mazatlan, the interesting seaport, on
tlie Pacific coast of the state of Sinaloa,
has long been the great cargador center
of Mexico, partly on account of its impor
tance as a commercial city, and partly
on account of its location at the foot of
the Sierra Madre mountains and the en
trance of tbe various passes across them,
in this city the cargador freighter loads
his goods for tho interior mountain towns
and tho cargador peddler purchases his
wares, which are imported by tho large
mercantile establishments, tho branch
houses of old-established European busi
ness concerns, or goods which are smug
gled into the country by tlie daring ship
pers who frequent this coast.
With his stock of goods, which is limi
ted only by the size of his exchequer, the
peddler starts forth to vend It is wares.
One peddles notions, another dry goods
and clothing, still another light house
keeping goods, and so on. Each carries
his stock economically packed in a light
wicker basket. This he holds and car
ries upon his back by means of a strong
leather strap attached to the basket and
fastened around his forehead. Thus his
powerful neck is brought into play and
made to carry the heavy load, which rests
only lightly upon his back. In this man
ner the cargador peddler carries his
heavy burden into every village and town
in the almost impassible heights of the
Sierra Madres.
Sometimes he goes alone and sometimes
he is accompanied by his family. He
wears white cotton breeches rolled, up to
the groins. A long-bladed batcher knife
is stuck in the waistband of hj; gar
ments. A large, high-crown straw hat
and light sandals, or guaraches, complete
his dress. In his hand* ho carries a
strong pile, his alpenstock, as it were,
with which ho successfully overcomes tlie
steep ascents and descents, made doubly
dangerous by tbe heavy load which he
carries on his back.
TUE FLEET MAIL CARRIER.
By far the most interesting type of the
cargador, if not the swiftest and hardiest
specimen of man of any nation is the cor
reo, or mail carrier, who mukes regular
trips between tho seaport of Mazatlan, on
tlie Pacific coast, and tbe largo city of
Durango, on the eastern coast of tho
Sierra Madres. The distance between
tbe two points is eighty leagues and lies
over the worst cut up and stsuiest coun
try imaginable. Nothing but strong
horses, powerful mules, tough burros, and
hardy natives travel that stretch of coun
try over a deep-worn and stony trail. No
amount of bridging aud tunneling would
build a railroad tnere, and no wagon
wheel has ever been seen in these wilds
unless it passed through on the back of
some pack mule. Yet the eorreo covers
the distance between Durango and Mazat
lan and-back again in the incredibly short
time of three or four days.
He leaves Durango with the mail weigh
ing fifty or more pounds and various ar
ticles which he is commissioned to pur
chase at that place. With his load he
sets out over the stony paths of tlie
rough mountains at a gait which in the
course of a day would fatigue any horse
on even better roads, and the gait which
the cargador strikes when he starts out
of Durango is the gait which he keeps up

until he reaches Mazatlan. Even with
this load upon his biu’k ho clambers any*
where. Ill' follows the mule trail only
when that trail goos in his direction;
when it swerves from a bee-line course to
dodge some dangerous precipice he leaves
it to follow a little trail of his own, over
which tile nimblest burro could never
hope to climb. In this w.\v he reduces
the distance between the two places very
considerably and makes the trip in threa
or at least four days, whereas the best
horses and fastest mules have been rid
den to death in covering this streteh in
ii ve.
The eargailor mail carrier starts upon
his trip in the early morning hour and
stops during tho course of the day for
nothing. From a pouch and gourd at his
side, he eats and drinks as howajlfs.
The gait that he strikes is a cross
between the soldier’s quick and double
quick time. When he deposits his pouch
with mail at Mazatlan and has delivered
such articles ns he may have been com
missioned to purchase ijt Durango,he visits
the fruit market of the town and lays
in a stock of early vegetables and rare
fruits of the tropics. The following morn
ing 1) packs the mail pouch in a wicker
basket and loads upon this some 75 or 100
pounds of fruits and vegetables, which ha
safely lands in Durango on the fourth day
out of Mazatlan.
Such is the correo or mail carrying car*
gador of the Sierra Madres, the fleetest
and hardiest footman in all Mexico.
Duty of the Southern Senators.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dom.).
It is undeniable that the action of the demo
cratic majority in the Senate is controlled by
the southern senators, who constitute a ma
jority of that majority. In fact, every .soutjv.
ern senator Is a democrat, and tho majority
qf democratic senators arc southern senators.
11 Is In the hands of these senators to render to
the Democratic party, and through that party
to the country, tho greatest service which has
tieen in their power since I*6o. when, upon
the breaking out of the war, the senators from
the seceded states withdrew From that day
to this tho Democratic party has labored n
-dcr the reproach, in northern eyes, of being
W a groat extent a sectional party. The man
ufacturing and commercial east and north
have distrusted the ability of tho impover
ished agricultural south to deal wisely and
fairly with finanetal questions. It feared to
commit its Interests into the hands of a party
controlled, as they Imagined, by interest*
either hostile to or wholly diverse from their
own. Now is tdio time to dissipate this feel
ing of distrust and apprehension. Now is
