THE POLL TAX QUALIFICATION

Under the provisions of the poll tax
qualification, a man may owe taxes on
property worth thousands Of dollars,
which he can refuse to pay, and still he
is a qualified voter. The laboring man,
who owns not foot of soil that he can
call his own, and who supports a family
and educates his children by hard and
constant toll, must pay his poll tar or be
diSfr0nchiSed. The real estate or property
holder may owe the State, county and
corporation ten thousand dollars. He
may refuse to pay it, and still be a quail
flied voter. The laboring man owes the
State, county and corporation the petty
sum of tDO dollars, which he must pay
or be DISTINGUISHED. Who, in any land,
in any country, in any age, ever heard
of a more unjust discrimination against
laboring men? We ask honest voters
to lay aside all partizan feeling and con-
slider this question fairly and without pre-
judice. Are you willing to support class
of men who would thus discriminate Sc
unjustly against large proportion of the
community: To thus discriminate, is to
hold on to and support IA measure utterly
unworthy of u people living under Re-
publican Government. Let laboring men
remember the names of those who would
disfranchise them for the pitifui sum Of
two dollars, and spot them for all time tC
come. This government was not instituted
for the real estate owner alone, but also fol-
the laboring man and mechanic, whose
toll adds so much to the country's wealth
and prosperity.

THE INCREASING DEMAND FOR IRON.

The great and increasing demand for
iron in the. United States, assures the de-
velopment of our own interests at home at
no distant day. Men everywhere are
thinking it is to be produced cheaper, and
where the best quality is TO be found
in the greatest abundance. We of
the South used to boast Of King
Cotton. Cotton does and always
will WELD powerful influence in the
commercial world, but iron begins to make
some pretensious to commercial royalty.
Iron for houses, for railroads, for bridges,
for steam engines, for agricultural nipple
ments, and for hundred kinds of ma
chinery, calls forth and puts into active
use millions of capital and gives en-
ployment to hundreds of thousands.
Aud Its power increases. If it is not a
king in the commercial world, it is at
least heir apparent to the throne.
AS its importance increases, men will
push forward their conquests into the iron
mines of every State where. it is to be
