Tenth:  From what has been said, it follows that there will be among those natives—­whether pure-blooded, or partly of Spanish blood, as has been said—­after the two peoples have become united and connected, persons suited to become priests and religious; and to assume the government and official posts of the state, and military offices; and to undertake all the other services and enterprises of the country.  With these, it will be evident how well established, peaceful, and united the country will be, since those persons will look after it as their own; and on account of the bond and union which will exist between its parts, and of the many ties of kindred—­of wives, and children, and relatives—­and of estates, which will constrain them to aid one another, and take care of the country.

Eleventh:  In the other Yndias all this has been lacking, and continually have been supplied from Espana, or from the pure Spaniards, all the priests and religious; the governors, and judges both superior and inferior; with all the other positions and commands, both in peace and war—­and even the mechanics, and the assistants and subordinates of the above-mentioned persons.  Besides, the Spaniards have always managed the state for themselves, and separately from the natives of the land—­disdaining to give them a share in any matter of honor or profit, but remaining always foreigners and aliens, and even objects of dread, to the natives.  For when some of the Spaniards die, or return to Spain, others come anew, who are always strangers to the people of the country and regard the natives as barbarians.  From this have resulted two serious evils, and the beginnings of many others.  First:  The Spaniards are always few in number, and have but little experience or knowledge of the country; they have little affection for it, and few ties or interests therein.  It is always their intention to return to the mother-country, and to procure their own enrichment—­whether it be by fair means or foul, or even by destroying and consuming, in their eagerness to attain that end—­not troubling themselves whether the country be ruled rightly or wrongly, whether it be ruined or improved.  The second evil is that, to the Spaniards, the commonalty of the Indians is something new and strange, and the latter are always regarded as menials and slaves, and objects for the insolence of those who come into possession of them.  Accordingly, they are always scorned, despised, overworked, exhausted, and even dying—­as is actually seen to be the case.  With all this, it is impossible that their numbers should increase or their condition or their lands improve; rather, they are continually deteriorating and dying—­as in many districts they are already ruined; and everywhere there is a tendency to this, in the opinion and judgment of all who see and understand their condition.
