and survey the bones Of a million of skele-
tons, which, three years sgo, were living
men, women and children, but which are
now the trophies of the great battle fought
by England against humanity-the battle Of
the plague and famine. Talk of England
as the friend of mankind, or a. the enemy
of slavery! As we'll might you speak Of
Satan as benevolent, or Of Tartarus rs q
place removed for its salubrious climate
England is the enemy of mankind. Her
power is fed upon human flesh. Her thou

or hope. Her bishops offer prayerstc God,
and at the same time proclaim theiIi Athe-

by their consistent oppression of the masses.
True, there are two Englands-the Eng.
land Of the Government, backed By the
monied and landed sristocracy, and the.
England of the People, who are only born
to toll and die. Tie English government

sooner it is bIotted out from the list Of ma

that it continues to exist, is only another
day of starvation, suffering and blood. The
hour which witnesses the downfall of Eng

Let any man read the reports presented
to the English Parliament in relation to the
degradation of the factory population Of
England, let him peruse the British papers,
and see how day after day murder, famine
and robbery go hand in hand over the British
.dominions-let him except the testimony Of
British authors, in regard to the utter mise
Try Of the masses of the British people-and
then, ii he has the heart to doit, let him de-
ny that England is the common executionsr
of the human family. ait 81. 1913
That Americans opposed to slavery should
admire this England may well excite our
wonder. But that in their haste to get rid
of Black Slavery, they should e~ulogize the
White Slavery which prevails in England,
may well excite not only the wonder, but
the horror and contempt of sllhonest men.
Away with the kypocrite, whose bowels
.yearn with compassion for the negro, while
his heart has not one throb, nor his eye one
tear, for the English slave"

"There was a goldmine discovered here

summit Of a very high mountain. It has
made a great excitement here, as it vas sew

to descend to the bottom. There was found
in it the bones of a human being, also an al.
Ear for worship, and some other evidences
