THE NEGRO AND THE TAX Bill
The New York Express thus refers
to the negro mania that infects
Congress in connection with the
FAX Bill:
"The negro alternates in Con-
gress with the Tax Bill but this
is not in discord now. Negro
philanthropy and taxation are twin
companions. To support the ne
gro the white man must give up
his hard earnings to the stern tax
gatherer. Hence, while in the
Senate, they abolish slavery in
the District of Columbia, they

cry white laborer, who earns his

neither deceive ourselves nor any
body else. How do the free States
stand on the question In my
own State, where there are colored
men, there is not much feeling, one
way or the other. And so in New
England. But in the States near
the slave States how is it? lii
nois has formed a constitution ex-
Guiding free colored men. Indiana
has some similar provision, and l
venture to say if you come down
to the practical question: whether,
if the whole negro population were
to be set free and distributed
