LET TIE LABORING WHITE MEN
READ.

There is to-day in this broadland, says
a cotemporary, many all earnest, honest,
hopeful working man, brcasting the waves
of adversely, his stout heart cinging to the
picture he secs away off in the far future,
of u home of his own, purchased with the
savings of his weekly toll. 10 be sure, to-
day he has no savings;the great war debt,
with its taxes upon him, eats up all his lit
tie surplus. The enhanced price of the
ncccssarics of life, growing out of the pa
per currcncy-the financial shinplastcr
curse upon him and his-hc has to stagger
under. lie has 10 surplus now; but he
hopes Oh and dhopcs ever. lie sees the little
home, and the school-huuse, and the church,
and his weekly news journal, and decent
wardrobe, and three good meals day for
him and his a beautiful dream, away oil
i'll the far distant future, For the present,
all is dark and gloomy, and if it were mol
ior hope his heart would sink within him.
lie struggles Oh in poverty and self-denial;
his children are ragged and ignorant; he
works and earns his ten or twelve dollars
per week, but the landlord and the butcher,
and the baker, aud the coal dealer, take
all his money-for are they not taxed ,doub-
iy taxed, trcbly taxed, and he has to foot
the bill. lie realizes that he, as IL consul
mtr, must suffer through these taxes; that
the people must bleed at every pore, but
for what? Let the complaining taxpayer,
who cannot educate his children and feed
and clothe them as formerly, read and
judge for himself.
The negro Bureau wants, according to
the bill reported by MIR. Stevens, SIl,-
5lS,5UO for Negro necessities down South,
the coming fiscal year. What sum. al
most equal to the entire cost of supporting
the Government of the United States
thirty years ago! Negro commissioners,
SIT 800; negro clerks, $12,S0O; negro
printing and paper, $63, 900; negro fuel,
$4,000; negro wardrobe, $l,75O, 900;
negro food, $4,l06,250; negro doctoring,
$500, 900; negro railroad riding, $780,
900; negro telegraphing, $4,000, ETC.,
etc.
Working white men of the North, your
families are made by the present party in
power white slaves. Your task is placed
before you, and is so plain that you can
not mistake it. You are to toll and sweat
SO that the negro may have $11, ,54s,-
800 in comforts, though you and yours
die on the roadside through the labor
which alone gives this vast sum to the lazy
worthless black race of the South: You
need not memorable the State Legislature
for an eight hour day law. 1t wiltbe in
vain for you to expect higher returns for
