inence before the public In twinkle, and it
only requires the precedent of the legislation
sought to be obtained under this bill, to have
them put In train to be similarly paid, after
s,me dossn or moro years of psrtinacious

for the negroes carried off by Britain in the
Revolutionary war and the war of 1917. We

negro property in that way to obtain ipdem.
MITIGATION for it from the u. s. Government

DO general organisation Of stockholders in
such claims, who will leave no stone unturned
to engineer Congress into the notion that the
precedent now sought to be set, should be e1-
tended to them, far mere Justly entitled to
such payments, as they really are.
