The Leland Record takes up tho
question of what is best for the colored
people, and while it evidently believes
that any forced moves would be full of
danger, has suggestion, which il
thinks good. The Record is printed

the colored people outnumber the
white people at least twelve to one Il

OF land be cut into small tracts of from
ten to forty acres and sold to either
White or black purchasers on such

Most admirable advice. Wise sue-

In the face of these official facts and fig
ures as to our trade, and exports and exports
and imports of gold and silver, and the COM
parative purchasing power of the silver dol
lar now and in 1870, / repeat: Why should
1t be stricken down, or its purchasing power
further increased 20 per cent. by adding
forty, fifty or any other number of grains TO
its weight? In other words, why should
every producer and debtor have to give 20
per cent. more of the products of his labor
TO obtain either new silver dollar or gold
coin with which to pay his debts than he
does now, when he is already paying his OBJ
legations according to the terms of his con-
tract in a coin which will produce for its
owner much more OF all he needs than it
would in 1870? 1t is only another phase OF
the constant struggle of the rich to grind the
face of the poor, and the favored few to en-
rich themselves by class legislation.
While no one can deny that every obliga-
tion of the United States and every contract
within our own borders can be discharged
honorably with the present silver dollar we
are told that our foreign obligations and re-
lations are such that gold will be at premi-
um very soon, and we will be on basis of
degraded silver at once if we do not increase
the weight or stop the coinage OF silver; that
all Europe is Mortified at our stupidity or
dishonesty, or both. Even England. whose
gold is said to be used so freely to buy SEN
ators and Representatives to vote ter revenue
tariffs against protection to monopolies
called American industry, is held no now by
the gold monometallists as an example wor-
thy OF all imitation; her financial policy is
larded as the perfection of human wisdom.
Fortunately the official reports over
throw all the reckless assestions of
the gold worshipers. The Register
of the Treasury (see report Tor
this year page Al, shows that out of SLOT, ;
400, 262 registered bonds OF the United States
outstanding, only 81, ,927 900, or little over
oee-tenth Of per cent, is held abroed, and
of those which can be paid before 1892, for
eigners hold only S34, $50, which IS less than
the interest on the money now lying idle in
the Treasury for one day at per cent. per
annum.
These facts, coupled with the fact that oul
exports of goods exceeded our imports $13O,
00O, 600 this year, and our imports Of gold ex
ceeded our gold exports SIS, 213,504, eI

Why am left in the shadows

who who was queenly and gracious
Why do my children mournS
Why were they snatched from my BOSOM
Hurried across the wave,
Tortured and sold and burdened
By the terrible life of slavee
Oh, tell me, why was chosen
and my sister fair
Whose hand clasped mine in our gladness,
Why stand we ruined and bare?
ssk-but there comes no answer
Out of the scorching air;
The sands of the desert mock me
With a mirage bright and fair,
And my tuneiess statue haunts me
With its silent stony glare;
And wreck and desolation
Meet me everywhere.
question the Sphinx in sorrow,
But no answer can she give;
climb the gloomy pyramids;
would die-and yet live.
Will she come-the star-eyed maiden,
Daughter of heavenly birth;
Will she make my deserts blossom
With the beauty of the earthf
Will she teach my dusky children
higher path to tread?
VIII she raise my fallen fortunes
And crown my long bowed head?

With eager. wistful eyes
And gather the buds of my lotus
Under the star-bright skies.
