From the New York World
The EseniHg Post frankly admits that he
ultimate object Of the radicals is the destTuc-
ton Of the colersd race ON this continent. It
says:
=" As the Indians were crowded westward, and
cut of ous bOusds By the irresistible advance of
the white man, 30 vii the blacks be whenever
that powerful prossctiVs system with which the
Shareholders have EuIrdsd them is renewed. X
Is the destiny Of the fNe white working men of
this country to PoEssss it; the eEorts Of the
Shareholders have hitherto robbed them Of one
half Of it-ths richest fairett half-snd devoted
il to the blacks. Il is the sGvsholders who
have preserved the negro raes from decliRe
among as it . the shareholders who have iB-
creased the blacks rem seven hUadred thousand
in 1890 TO foEr aiilions ia 1860"
So then it is admitted that those terrible fell
lows, the slAVeholders, whose chains, whips
and blood-hoaHds we have heard 30 much About
in azh slavery novels and poems, are after ell
the rial conssrvators Of tAe negro race, while

philanthropy, contemplate their destruction
