THEDEMOCRATICP PARTY THE

1t is well enough for the Labor
leaders to claim that they are the on
ly true friends of the workingman,
but sensible toilers for bread will re-
ceivc such assertions with several
grains of allowance. The Democrat
ic party has ever been the best friend
of the working-classes. For evidence
of this we have only to point to the
fact that, until the Labor party came
to have an existence, it was the boast
of the Republican leaders that all the
wealth, culture, refinement and moral
ity of the country was centred in their
party, while the Democracy was made
up of the working people mainly

The Afflicted South.

There has never been i'll the history
of the world any people SO ieartully
afflicted as those OF the South. There
have bee. brief instances, like the ia
vasion Of italy by Atilla, or the Turk
ish conquest Of the lower Empire, when
the temporary horrors greatly surpass-
ed anything witnessed at the South,
but they lasted on Y for time; while
here for seventeen years, it has been
constant, never-ending struggle for
existence, and the very life of human
society. And now, as if human mad
ness, sin and crime were supplement-
ed by some occult and mysterious
agencies, that some people might call
"Providential,' comes that fearful
pestilence sweeping over the broad
valleys of the lower Mississippi with
the wings of desolaton, and seeming
ly booming all, children and negroes
us well as adults and white people, to
common woe. But there is nothing
Providential in the case. Wars, pes
thence and famine, all the evils of the
earth, are accidental or they are the
necessary offspring of human ignor-
ance, sin and devilment. The bene-
ficent and Almighty Creator has ere
ated nothing evil-all is good, per-
feet, bencficent and designed for the
happiness of His creatures-and it
is only our ignorance and perversity
that abuses His gifts and often
transforms His greatest blessings in
to the most terrible of our punish
ments.
Where, for example, on all this con
tinent, or on all the earth, was there
to be found such a garden of Eden as
what was called the coast" on the
lower Mississippi, say from Vicks
burg to New Orleans? Louisiana it.
self is capable of sustaining ten mil
lions Of population or more. Like the
whole tropicoid South, it is naturally
divided into cereal or grain growing
and parallel tropic centres of produc-
ton. Thus, side by side, are bread
regions suited both to white and ne
gro labor to the cultivation Of the
products of Ohio and those Of San
Domingo alike, and with its wonder
full fertility and balmy atmosphere,
this mighty tropicoid South must
needs become some day the heart and
centre Of American civilization as
we'll as the main source of American
wealth and prosperity. Such, indeed,
it was rapidly becoming in 1860, when
the fatal madness of the Northern
mind broke loose in that vast inya-
