THE NEGRO AND HIS FRIEND.

1t is a fact that the Congress o
the United States profess to be the
peculiar friends Of the negro and tC
prove the sincerity of their friend
ship for the whole country, negroes
included, they have fastened debt
upon the people Qncurred mainly
through fraud and rascality) of over
twenty-five thousand millions Of dol
lars. 1t is also a fact that the Labor
of the negro produces nearly all the
cotton raised in the United States
A tax of three cents for every pound
Of this cotton, is paid to the Federal
Government. y tax of five dollars
on every one hundred dollars worth
manufactured cotton goods, is also
paid to the government. Now, when
cotton seedsare exported or sent tC
foreign countries for sale, a draw
back is allowed not only of the ) pei
cent tax, but also Of the tax upon the
raw cotton. Nearly all the cotton
manufactures in the United States
are in New England. Three cents
per pound is about SO per cent. ofitS
value in gold.
The result of these facts is, that
thenegro pays into the United States
Treasury une-third of all he labOrs
for, and his New England friends
draw it out of the treasury and put
it into their own pociets-paying
into the treasury for the
labor performed by them in manufac,
turing it, for they have a drawback
Of the D per cent also.
The laboring men of the South
can thus see where the money comes
from to send so many newspapers
and pictorials broadcast over the
land, and for the establishment OF
Radical papers here III the South,
for the purpose Of arraying the ne
grOeS against the Southern whites.
