Who so lately sought 10 destroy, not stopping
until they had filled the land with woe and bur-
dened II with the debt and taxes which now
rest so heavily upon US. This Is not wise
for any section. Raids on the Treasury,
vast In amount and without right or honesty,
are mastering FOR the time when solid south,
dominating the democratic party, as IL will
and must, shall again rule the two Houses OF
Congress. Wild schemes of reputation and
financial chaos and revolution ind encourage

the democratic party Is being drawn into
whirlpool OF fallaci US, short sighted theories.
Equality before the law and political rights
and liberty, which the recent amendments ID
the Constitution were ordained 10 establish,
are becoming only mockery throughout the
south, and Tree eectiohs are not permitted
in several states. New York, which is the
greatest commercial state, and by far the
largest taxpayer I'm the union has vast
