elf Democrat solicits your vote, point
him to the rebellion in behalf of slavery
which he supported, to the liberty you pos
sess which he opposed, and to suffrage,
now your right, which he still would deny"
An article in an exchange, addressed
to the cOlored people, closes with the above
sound advice. That party fostered and
sympathized with the rebellion. The arch
plotters in that great conspiracy were the
acknowledged leaders of the Democratic
party, which never disowned, but always
claimed, and still feel pride in claiming,
them as its brightest stars.
1t is conceded fact that the rebellion
had it's origin in the hope of establishing
slavery on a more secure basis, by making
it, in place of liberty, the fundamental
principle of the State. To the efforts which
were aroused by the rebellion the colored
man owes his emancipation and for the
purpose of securing permanently that blood
bought liberty, the necessity Of giving him
the ballot became manifest. Every step
which widens the distance between bondage
and the colored man, has served to inten-
sify the hatred to his race, and those i'm
placable enemies to his rights as a man,
have steadily crystalized, till they are now
found an organized party, assuming to be
a Democratic party-the reverse of what
their principles indicate-whose avewed
and leading principle is to deprive the col
ored man of his newly-acquired rights
as man and citizen. These are import
ant truths, which every cslered man and
every christian, every friend to humanity
and justice, every disciple of liberty and
progress should ever keep in view. This
new alliance which is organizing under an
old name, has declared its purpose to be
the return to slavery again of the colored
race, or to achieve something as near that
condition for him as possible. The colored
man, and every friend he has in the nation,
must keep this great danger, which he has
yet to pass, constantly in view, nor tire
nor flag till crcwning victory over this
last great effort of his old enemy has been
achieved. He may then, and not till then,
repose in security, and like the Israelites,
when the waves had closed over their pur-
suing enemies, break forth in songs of tri-
umph and rejoicing.

The Miners Journal local organ in
Pennsylvania addresses proclamation to
"thc press abroad" declaring that the
supply of coal will be above million of
tons more than last year, whether the
strikes continue or not, and advising con-
sumers abroad not to rush in the market
and "cause fuctuation in prices which is
not beneficial to, and which is not desired
by, the trade" This is very kind advice,
perhaps, but is difficult to understand, in
view of the source whence it comes. The
yearly increase of consumption has of
course to be allowed for in considering the
effect of production.

There is no mis- AXE about these figures
there is no effort at decept'on-there is no
covering up as bribe for continuance in
power--there is no borrowing, that q big
balance may be left in the treasury to cheat
taxpayers into belief of economy, but all is
plain, square and straight forward. Study
these fgures-they will bear inspection.
The receipts show that the officers have At
tended their duties in every particular.
Do the people wansto know where tn cir
money has gone to. The expenditures show
snd they show many things that last years
reports didn't show.
This report shows that the streets have
been improved, not by paving $4s3, 20 to the
city attorneys for illegal proceedings in the
Arsenal street extension, but In subtantal,
necessary improvements-in work on the
streets whereby the poor men got the money
aud the city gets the benefit, Il further
shows the payment of $4,000 worth of last
years bills. These reports don't show a bal.
cnce in the treasury Of 1928, 26, as did the
last years. They show less than $4,000
and there is even less than that now, for
since these reports were nude up, Mayor
Buford has had to pay another little Muir
dock debt, q $500 note with interest
money borrowed of Peter Fries TO help MAKE
q show.
Let US see how these will look together
how much the present council has really
paid, that belonged TO the last council to

And further, it is equally as important
that you be correctly represented in the city

Furthermore, see to it that committees be
appointed in each ward, whose duty it shall
be to attend the polls on election day; and,
also, that ward officers and committees be

the people who favor economy in municipal

Two years ago, by system of falsehood,
and promise Of economy,
the Republicans succeeded in carrying the
election, but, at the end of the year, the in
telligent voters of the city became Disguised
with the administration for its lying and
trickery, and turned the city over again to
Democratic rule.
Another year has passed, and prosperity.
such as the city has never before known, has
been visited up to US. We can all see it

that has ruled and shaped the action of the
city, in inviting, preparing for and aiding
the many and important enterprises that
will date their conception and commence
ment with the year ls69-70, would be
unjust and ungenerous. and could emanate
only from that spirit of partizanship, whi' h,
with misrepresentation and false promiss g.

the peoples rights and steal their hard
earned taxes.
Yet such thsre are, as is instanced by the
low insinustious that have been thrown out
bv u few anxious Republican ot6ce-seekers
through the medium of their organ, in re
gard to the finances of the city. Con.
