The lecturer then went on to speak OF the
WEALTH OF THE ISLAND.
the curse of slavery which wrought numerous
troubles, and the part taken by the black
race in their long struggle for freedom in the
island.
He then referred to his visit to Santo Do
mngo as one of the commission and in,!a-sel
fully the report Of that body.
Speaking Of the annexation of Santo Do
mingo to the United States, he said that a
large majority OF the people of that island
favored the project, believing that by placing
their country under strong and enlightened
government they will put an end to revolu-
tons and secure peace and pros perity.
WHY WE WANT IT.
What DO we want with Santo D0mingoo it
Is asked. What do we want Of land anv
way: What do we want Of sugar and the
tropical fruits, of mahogany Of lignum vite,
and all the choice woods used in manufacture
ing? What do we want Of a productive soil
and the rich products of any country? We
want them for mentor human beings to live
In and be happy. What did we want OF
Alaska and Of other territories that have been
purchased. If good excuse can be found
TOR purchasing these lands, surely we can find
good reason for receiving into our family with
ont money this beautiful and rich land.
THE PEOPLE DESIRE ANNEXATION.
They want Saxon and Protestant ciyiliza-
ton. They havd tried the Latin and Catholic
rule, let them have a chance to try free
thought and free religious opinions.
MIR. Douglass held up to lidicule the argu-
ments of Mr.. Schurz that civilization would
not flourish in that latitude. He also con-
vincingly answered Mr.. Summers theory Of
wiping out colored nationality. 1t is not

RIVAL ROUTES

The friends Of the Railroad from
Augusta via Knoxville, Tennis to
Chicago insisted at their late gather
ing in Augusta that Canal transpor~
talion would be worthless and would
not be sought If this Railroad route
from the centre Of the great Wet to
the Southern seaboard is completed.
Major Mcfarland, however at the
recent Canal Convention in Atlanta
figured very clearly the greater
cheapncss of water transportation.
Doubtless Canal transportation ID
cheapest but, as ''time is money the
Railroads may overcome that disad-
vantage. The country, at allevents
is great enough to justify the most
ample transportation enterprises and
we hope they will all be put in oper-
alton.
The Canal Convention completed
its business in momorali2ing Con-
grcss for aid in the construction Of
the Canal.

THE IRREpREssrBLB CONFLICT.

The practical soundness of that
Southern opinion that clear legal
subordination Of the blacks to the
whites is the only basis upon which
races so diverse can co Occupy the
soil with harmony and mutual bene
fit, will ultimately be established to
eyerybody's satisfaction upon the
ruins of all attempts to maintain
civil and social equality by statute.
A statute is nothing but mere bra-
tenn ful0len, when it contravenes a
settled, active opposing public opin-
ion. Of statutes there are and will
be hundreds insisting that negroes
and whites shall occupy the same
saloons sit at the same tables, and
occupy the same school houses ana
dress circles in the theatre. But
| Nature herself forbids it, and the
Laws, after few years Of convulsiVe
struggles and pestilent prosecutions
| in which the negro will fix his char
acter as an unmitigated social NUS
apce. will be laid aside forever
among exploded follies and chit
meras. A crop of lawsuits has
sprung up already in New York IN
der the social equality law just
passed by the Legislature Of that
State. and, for a time, Sambo will
make lively work for every public
caterer who refuses 10 seat him by |
the whites. Sambo will doubtless
gain his suits, but he will fail still
more sigpally of bis purpose, and
fatally incense the public mind
against himself The law will
be practically circumyented-the
courts, Searied with the petty, in
cessant and unavailing struggle
against Nature, will become deaf in
one ear and blind in one eye. The
benevolence which might incline to
help Sambo to some substantial ele-
walton in Intelligence and comfort,
disguised with his discon,ens with
his own race and company and his
aspirations to force afiiiation with
the whites, will remit him to himself
will let him alone severely and
among the great American masses
(the "toiling millions",the politicians
speak about the indifference will
! give place to predjudice and actual
hostility.
II is the fashion of the day to
scout at the colonization scheme, and
at every thing which tends to
separate the races; but the absurd
aspirations of the negro to intimate
social intercourse with the whites,
and the silly statutes Of leather
beaded, supplciack politicians to
enforce them upon the whites, make
it clear to our minds that the course
of these races must be rapidly di-
vergent, and whether the negroes
go to Africa or to the Southwest, or
are collected in negro States
and communities within our own
boundaries, the process Of segrega-
ton will be steady and increasingly
rapid, because the terms of social
coexistence established by these ell
~ statutes are revolving and wholly
inadmissible.
Let the poisonous hell-broth of
| modern social sciolism ferment and
kill the concoctors by its own fumes.

THE Liquor TRADE.

The organ ofthe liquor interest in
New York has taken pains to collect
and group all the facts connected
with the trade in this country. The
amount of tax on spirits collected
by the United States in 1872, was
$40, 5.5l6, So This represents
about 100000, 900 gallons, worth at
wholesale $4,000, 200, but which
brought at retail about S3l7,000,00O.
This aggregates a money interest Of
over Sl00,000,000. The beer trade
pays tax to the Government of IS, :
573,49s 80. This represents a re-
tail value of over 1000, 900,
which, added to the value Of the ar.
ticle TO the manufacturers, repre-
SCENTS a money interest of about
$500, 100000. The wine trade rep
senis an interest of $50, 1000, 600.
The import trade Of liquors, beer
aod wine, represents retail value
OF liquors ofS27, 900, 600; Of beer,
50, 500, 900; Of wine, Sl35, GOO, 600;
or a total Of nearly Sl65, GOO, 900 -
Added TO all this, the capital invest,
cd in buildings and machinery, etc,
together with the expenses connect
ed directly aud Indirectly with the
trade, the footing is at least 81, 50o,-
100000. This may be an over-es-
innate, but the collection of very
nearly fifty million dollars in reve-
nue. from liquors in one year, to say
nothing of the unknown quantities
manufactured and consumed that
pay no tax Of any kind, tells fear
ful tale against the habits Of the
nation.

HARD TrMEs.

Even from the remote territory
|of Montana, where 10 raise corn in
abundance, little more is necessary
than to punch holes in the soft
prairie and drop the. seed, comes
the sad refrain--hard times. And
ibis ia ,troe, for if any evidence is
wanting to prove it the fact that the
Bozeman Avant Courier publishes
the vinegar bitters advertisement, at
the rates Of the owner, leaves not a
shadow Of doubt behind. But that
journal says misery loves company,
and goes on to quote from its ex-
changes, as follows:
Commencing with the great State
Of Ohio -girded with railroads and
having every desirable means Of
.conmunication---we have the Cin-
cinnatti Starindulging in doleful
complaint about the stagnation in all
branches Of trade. 1t says:
"A farmer told us this morning
that he met about twenty farmers at
Botaxia, the county scat Of Cler-
mont, and offered to bat hundred
dollar bill that not one Of them bad
made both ends meet during the
past tWo years and not one Them
| would take tho bet. 1t is the gem

10 be good, but when the failures m

or no better than corn aud pork. =
Missouri is another State that we
deemed prosperous, and yet we
learn from the papers that the
wheat in Missouri last year was al.
most a total failure, and farmers are
new paying 50 per hundred for -four,
while they only realize 10 to 20
cents bushel fJr their corn.

at al, aud corn is about alive raise.
Wood is scarce. We have no mon

corn. Eastern people at first de-
nounced the Nebraska use OF corn

purpose Of using corn, whether as

body though in one case by inter.
nal, and III che other by exter-
nal applications. Burning corn,
then, becomes question not of NOR,

and 20 bushels ton, costing, at 10
cents a bushel, scarcely 81 90. But
