CoNFEDRIT X Roads (wich is in the
State nv Kentucky October 1, $780,.
Ell the Dimocrisy NV the NORTH Good
only realize the condishun the Dimoc-
risy of the south is in, they wood put
on ther armor, and never lay It Oft till
the last vote wuz poled.
The condishun ~ the south is pitiable
in the eggstreme, and, ofiless immejit
releef is extended, nobody kin be anser-
able for the consekwences.
The mountins is full nv distillers,
wich is bein huntid by trantlike gov
eminent. ~ The rit1s ~. the cikiaens nv
the south to nlanufnkter their corn
into whisky, and sell that whisky with
ont paying any tax onto it, is dispootid.
Federal revenue aginta; backed up by
armed men is sSoufin the mountins,
and, when q moonshiner is caught, his
likket Is 6onfAkated And his still de-
stroyed. It wood be suthin ef the ikker
wuz brot down to the villages and
distribbitid to the citizens, but it is
not. The heads Of the barls are crooelly
stove in, and the preshus fooid is drank
by the non-appreciative earth, wich hez
no bowels that need it.
Over $4,000 gallons hev bin thus
destroyed within ten miles nv the Cor
ners, this yeer. Think NV the Dimocrats
that this likker wood hev fnadei Think
NV the comfort that likker wood hev bin
to me and Deekin Pogram!
But it is lost forever.
We want a congris that will keep the
tax on likker, but we want q president
and treasury department that will not
collect the tax in the south. Ef the tax
wuz removed, the north wood undersel
MS and destroy this revenoo; but by
maxim the north pay the tax, and hevin
fevenoo officers that wood not collect it
in the south, this industry Good be
maintained.
We want the tax on terbacker repealed
entirely, ceptin ON sich varieties ez they
raise in the north. Our northern friends
must remember that the heaviest tax we
pay is ON terbacker. and it bears heavily
| onto our people. The impoverished
south needs heap NV i1tlssin jist now,
and this would be help for us only SEX
kond to proper arrangement NV the
likker interest.
Then we must hev the Offices. The
Dimocrisy NV the south lost their laber
when the feend and goriller, Linkon,
emansipatid the niggers, and the south
ert1 gentleman is altogether too bawty to
perform manyooel laber hissef, Next
to livin off Nv nigger laber, he is adaptid
to hollin light and easy offises, where
the laber isn't too hefty and the pay is
ample. The offises is all in the hands
NV the Radikels now, and we langish.
All our interests langish. Not bein post
master, hev no money to spend at Bas-
CONS, and he mourns. Not bein collec-
tor, M'Pelter hez bin obliged to put a
mortgage on his farm in favor nv Bas-
com, wich Bascom don't want, ez he hes
to pay cash for Hkker in Louisville.
We want thes places ourselves, and
must hev EN-.
Then we wont to be soor nv bein free
from any interference with our system
NV laber. We perpose to hev the nigger
back to his normal condishen in some
shape or another, wich we kin never do
SO long ez Ablishnists are ut the head NV
things in Washington, and the govern
ment is controlled by radical congress.
Republican government is standin
menace to the south.
It amt nessary for me to refer to the
payment NV our claims for losses doorin
the war, and the pensioning NV our Con-
fedrit heroes. That is the very first thing
to be done, for wat the south needs is
capitle.
We hev now clames before congrls
wich amounts to several billions, and we
must hev O congris wich will pay them
clames, and a president wich won't veto
the bills. We are sufferin for this money.
Deekin Pogram hes clame in for hum
dred mules that Morgan ceezed, and the
poor old man, on the vergeuv the grave,
wants the money. / hev clame in for
. penshun for servis in the Looizeaner
Pelikins, and / want it to smooth my
pathway to the toom.
! We shan't be hard upon the govern
ment. We shel want O part nv it cash
down, and the balance in bonds. To
make the down payment the government
kin ishoo greenbax, wich by increesin
the vollum nv the currency wood stim-
1 oolate trade, and the bonds mite run fur
ever ef interest wuz promptly paid. Yoo
see we are reasonable. We don't wish
to embarraas nobody.
Pay these claims, penshun our soljers,
and give us sich appropriations ez we
want, and the south will be loyal 10 the
government so long ez it hex . govern
ment bond left. Is It likely we'd ever
rebel agin a government on the interest
nv whose debt we wux livin, and wich
we controlled? There ID but one way nv
soOthin the southern hart, and pacifyin
the southern soul
| Dimekrats Of the north, to y0u we ap-
pele. You see the FIX we are in. Fl .
southern planter Good 60 to work Ike .
northern farmer, it wood Be di0rent.
We mite then rekooperate ourselves.
But it can't be did. We are . proud,
governin, r0olin race, and must be cared
for ex sich. It wux the north that took
away our niggers, and the north must
take ther place.
The south holds ont it, hands TO 700.
Sc that We are mot disappinted agln.
