a ruling passion with the Haytian !;

| read from Mr.. Mackcnzie's Re-
port in 1880. In 1903 Hayti was
placed entirely under the control of
the blacks, and in 1880 Mr.. Mackenzie
reported 10 the English government
as follows:
"In l7s9, there were exported l41 .Os9,s ,s3I
pounds Of suga-, 1904 ,274 pounds Of cotton nnd
! T6,s35,2l9 pounds Of coees. In 1926 there were
exported 30 .s64 pounds Of sugar, 62o.972 pounds
Of cotton and S2, is9,7si pounds Of coffee"
There is a consideration of some
importance in this connection bearing
upon the position that | assume, that
is, that sugar (the production that is
most palpably diminished) requires
constant toll in its cultivation; while
coffee (that maintains itsstatus better)
grows wild through the country. The
latter has continued an article of com
merce and is largely exported. The
piow does mot exist in Hayti; il has
ceased to exist. The gold and other
mines there are being neglected; the
machinery is worn out or allowed TO
rot out; the forests are returning.
lIayti is rcce ling from the light Of
civilization the people arc becoming
savage their habits are disgusting
and heathenish. The cond'. Cion OF
Hayi re-asserts tho position that
maintain, that this rare have no ca
pacily for progress. Look at Mexico
see what conglomeration of revolu.
tions is there; see the degencracy Of
that country: the legitimate result Of
q commipgling of blood. See Central
America and the Spanish colonies
soat' all these furnish additional CIV.

LEARN BY EXPERIENCE.
Let us then be warned by the ex
penence of the past, taught by tbs
lessons Of history. If Gods law be
the elevation Of humanity, let us con
tinue to elevate ourselves and Will
christian charity aid those below u:
to climb the ascending grade. If the
law of the world be the law Of pro
gress, let us be satisfied with the proud
position we enjoy, trying no new path
but encrgetically moving upward il
our We. bright career. Let us not iot
ter ourselves, by halting midway tC
enable the African to reach us. Let
us be wise and preserve the sovereign
ty of our race Let us estimate it al
its true value and refuse to share It
with those of whom history is silent
whose land is voiceless, whom youl
own experience teaches are your in
feriors, upon whom privileges are lost
and whom the mournful lessons Of ;
century have but served to demon
strate their inertness and stolidity
CHAIN US NOT TO "THE BODY OF TnI
DEATH"
OUR POSITION TOWARD THE PRESIDENT
Let me reply to an attack whicl
the Senator from Eric has made upor
nv friend, the Senator from Berks
Nh. CLYMER, and impliedly upor
myself The Senator attempts tt
show that in 1868 the Senator from
Berks voted against granting the us'
of these halls to Andrew Johnson, thcl
, Provisional Governor of Tennessee
. lie forgot to state, sir, that the Dem
ocratic party represented upon thl
, floor, introduced rs an amendment t
that resolution a proposition granting
, it also TO George B. Mcclellan, Zap
plause, which was voted down b,
the Republican party here, as the rec
, ord will show. We therefore vote,
against the resolution in toto. But
sir, to go beyond that, hold it to b
, my duty as a member of a party tha
have principles, to extend the han'
Of fellowship to every man who pla
ccs himself upon those principles an,
whether he be peasant or President
to sustain him with all my ability
with all my force, in carrying out an,
successfully vindicating those princi
+ pies. If this be the position Of Prcsi
, dent Johnson, he has our right hans
! of fellowship; it be not his position
{ he has our opposition.
HAYTI BAD POLICY.
: Let me now turn for moment t
: some of the arguments of the Senate
from Bradford He SAYS, sir, 'sth
: people Of the South have no right
J that We should respect save TO be hum
: and TO be damned" This is his yer,
