more meiudiced towards granting us

had sufficient experience in politics to
readily see by now which is the proper
! course for them TO pursue that they may
enjoy peace, prosperity aud happiness in
the south. [ believe that there are but
few southern whites who entertain the
same bitter feelings towards the freed
men that they possessed fifteen years ago.
| They have become more reconciled in
mind and feelings, and would scorn to
have the same old state OF affairs re-
newed; but are now willing to shake

try. Believing those to be facts, / would
advise my people to stop and think for
themselves, whether their present course
will do away with race prejudice or place
them in better state Of affairs. Our
! sole dependence for daily bread is upon
the moneyed men of the south; we have
become SO acclimated here that we can
not prosper anywhere else. Then would
it not be wise for us to come upon a nu-
| tual agreement W til the owners of the
soil, and live up to them, that we may
enjoy Hfe's sweets and prosper many
fold5 more than we have in the past?
I am sorry to say, but it is no less q fact,
that our white republican leaders baye
taught us to believe that if we unite with
our southern neigbors they viii place rs
back into seryitude. How absurd and
ridiculous such reasoning appears to me
now, although there was time when l
believed them; but now that have &C
CURED medium education, / can see
through it ali. No power upon the face
Of the globe can place the freedman back

its dead, and forget the past, but look
forward to the day when all Of us shall
have become educated and refined mon

From the New York World.
mfr. Tilden is one of the great political
men of the times. He is a born leader
He governs through ideas. Ills mind
takes hold of the principles of things
He casts new light on the subject he
deals with His range of thought is OK
tensive, and his thinking profound and
penetrating. His knowledge is such as
become o statesman, broad, varied ac-
curate. His experience Of life is com
prehensive and philosophic and Just as
sure and thorough in great public affairs
as in the cares and interests Of everyday
occupations. He is a wise man. His
Judgment rarely eyrs: his conc ,usions are
true and solid. Nature made him re-
former, and endowed him with original
genius for such work.
The Sun pays this tribute to the great
democratic leader, Samuel J. Tildcn. 1t
is well deserved When Mr. Tilden
found himself necessitated by the popu-
lar uprising to decline the presidency he
did not lose sight of the interests of the
party. He advised those who were en-
titled to be the recipients Of his counsel
to nominate Grover Cleveland as the
democratic candidate in this years cam
paign. While he greatly admires Mr.
Randall and other democratic aspirants,
his profound and penetrating thinking
convinced him that Governor Cleveland
would present TO the people more clearly
and distinctly than any other candidate
the living issue of clean government
against corruption. Mr. Tilden to-day
supports Governor Cleveland as earnestly
as he favored his nomination In this he
is in harmony with ex-SpeaEer Randall,
Governor HoadIy, Senator Bayard, Con-
geessman Holman, ex-Senators Thurman
and Mcdonald, Horatio Seymour and all
the democratic leaders. As Mr. Tilden's
Judgment rarely errs, as his conclusions
are true and solid, would it not be wise
for the Sun to respect his Judgment and
accept his conclusions IN the important
matter of saving the republic?

means of displaying my Journalistic

it, but, sir, to resent the unjust charges
that are circulated against me by those
who style themselves republican light
houses in our southern land.
These same parties condemn me for
acting and speaking out my convictions.
and are turning every stone between h
well, 1 guess 1 wont say, and heaven to

the south and independence in thought

only avenues to peace, prosperity and
happiness of the freedmen In the south.
We should always agree IN state and 10
cal politics, but in national politics, am
of the opinion that the powers that now
rule should remain as they are. We
were liberated without a dollar, and
whatever success we may have achieved
we owe it TO ourselves, and not to those
in whom we placed the affairs of our

Tariff Reform.
MR. MORRISON EXPLAINS THE DUTIES OF THE SUB
COMNITTE ON "CHASGES"

MR. MORRISON EXPLAINS THE DUTIES OF THE SUB
CoMNITTE ON CHANGES"
Mr. Morrison said to STAR reporter today that
the subcommittee Of the ways and means COM
mittee, on 'changes in the tariff laws" would not
as the name might seem to imply, have charge OF
any matters relating to tax reform. Consequently,
the fear which has been expressed that Messrs
Mills, Hewitt, and Kelley, who were placed on that
subcommittee, could never agree, was without
foundation.
"All matters relating to a change in the rates OF
taxation or revenue" said Mr.. Morrison ''wheth her
increasing or diminishing 1t, will be considered by
the whole committee. The duty of the sub-com-
mlttee Will be to consider changes such
as regard the manner OF collection and
other matters not involving a change in the
rates. In announcing the sub committees / gave
lt to be understood that all questions OF changes I'm
the rates OF taxation, or tariff reform II you cali it
such, should be cons dered by the whole commit
Tee, and the -conmittee Is not dependent upon
any agreement between MeSSrS. Mills Hewitt,
and Kelley. Inc TINS Is fnanlrest
ON question Of this kind each man has his own
Views TO present and VIII not take anything, ey-
cept upon personal examination. If the Sub-com-
mlttee reported certain action the committee
would 60 over the whole work again.
