lar questions have been the witty arguments
with which the Radicals beat down OPPOSE
ton to the establishment Of negro suffrage.
The fifteenth amendment was ra'iheo 10y
men who couldn't stand such h'mor. IL
was too much for them. u.. J.,
All we ask Of the Radicals now is That
they shall stand TO sheir guns. Let thelii

BRIGHTEST lights in the Radical party.
Th;s will never do. They speak and write
ike vile Copperhcads. They are no better
Tho, Democrats. In fact, they are worse
than BK1cS PoMERoY or the New iork nag
Book and not much better than the editor
of the Missouri Caucasian. What ap""''

The New York Tribune threatens the
Long Island laborers, who ask three or iour
dollars a day for cutting wheat, with the
connection of the Chinese. 1t swears Ilat
there is work In the harvest fields lor the
:. hundreds of laboring men who cro"a Ihe
corridors of the City Hall, and who tell The
Mavor" 50 and 80. The Tribune forgets that
this work of harvesting will last for only 4
few days, and that the - g .hboring man
cannot rely upon that sort OF employment.
He wants work that will pay him from Jam
nary 70 December. The Irt6unc,s state
ment is a sort of argument to prove that
there is room in this country for the Cmnsse.
But it will hardly deceive the thousands ana
tens of thousands of white mechanics and
laborcrs who are utterly unable to obtain
situations.
We say again, let the Radicals be true 10
their history an d to their teachings hereto
fore, Let us test the sense of the people or
the United States. Let us make square
issue upon this Chinese question. All those
who hold that Mongolians are not as good
as Caucasians-who believe that the white
man is superior to the man of any other CO.
lor. and has the right to withhold certain
high privileges from the inferior races, and
to legislate for the protection of his own
race-who wish this country to he settled
all over not by yellow, red, or black men,
whose descendants to the remotest genera
ton will be an alien element, but by Ca'l-
cnsians, whose descendants will all he OF the
highest human type-let all these, we say
vote together. And let all who hold the Radi-
cal doctrine that Chinese or negro Is rs
GOOD as q white man, and entitled to all the
privileges and rights of white men, vote for
the Radical candidate for President. We
are willing to bide the result.
