Mr. KelIey's Trust in Whisky.

When Mr.. Kelly denounced the
"Whisky Trust" as the "Southern slave
oligarchy of 1883" he modestly omitted
all mention of the part played in the
said oligarchical trust by his own be-
loved and top-notch protection State.
In the fiscal year ending June 80,
1887, Pennsylvania paid taxes on dis
titled spirits to the amount of $2,582,
S28.7S-more than any Southern State
excepting Kentucky alone. In fact, the
whole of the South outside Kentucky
made less whisky than the State OF
Pennsylvania. And as Illinois, paying
$21 ,615, ,593.90 of tax, produced more
than double the yield of Kentucky,
while Ohio, with tax return of$9, ,453,
S46.64, closely rivaled her neighbor
across the river, it is evident that the
new Southern slave oligarchy of Mr..
Kelley's highly protected imagination
has pretty firm hold on the Republi-
can States of the North.
Since Indiana paid $3,500,000; Ne
braska, SO, loo, 900; New York, So, 500, 900;
Iowa, 81, 10000; Maryland, 81 800, 900,
and Massachusetts, on the rum that
Yankees love but Prohibitionists objur-
gate, $1,060,000, it is evident that Mr..
Kelley's whisky slave oligarchy must
have cunningly spread its pernicious
power impartialIy over all sections,
,vcr the just and the unjust, without
apparent regard to political or religious
views, or any other considerations than
the cheapness of grain, fruit or mo-
lasses, the advantages of water or
climate, and readiness of access to mar
kets.
Can it be that Mr.. Kelley is all wrong?
That there is no Southern oligarchical
whisky trust? That people distill
spirits where that business pays best,
in defiance of the protectionist rule to
manufacture only where the law helps
you, not where nature let's you? And
that all the rumpus about the terrible
doings of the Southern slave-driving
whisky trust about which Mr.. Kelley,
the Union League Club and Editor
Elliott F. Shepard rage and rave, Is
only little dodge of the big monopo-
lists to fool the dear people into con-
tentment with expensive clothing, high
rents, costly tools, kettles and dinner
pals and the other blessings of that
peculiar protection to American iEdus.

school kindly permit plain folks to en-

lowing speech:
"These Republican Congressman
are mighty eager to show their hands,

they don't want the negroes to leave
their party they can't keep them in
line by threatening them. The time
has gone by when the negro can be
threatened, though it was not 80 very
long ago that threats worked wonders.
This movement on the part of the ne
gro is one which can't be CHECK
ed. The black man is going to assert
himself, and he has the right to do 80
if he sees fit. We will make both the
the democrats and the Republicans
come to time yet. The republicans
have not appreciated what the negro
has done for them. Why should we
be under everlasting gratitude to the
republicansH Haven't they been BEN
fitted more by the acknowledgements OF
the negro than the negro himself2

have carried New York or Pennsylva-

Of the republican party, and all the
thanks he has got for what he has done
have been curses and kicks and let

publieans have looked upon us as goods
and chattels and nothing else. When
any hard work was to be done the re-
publicans were willing the negro
should do it, but when the fruits of
victory came to be passed around the
pickings Of the black man were very
small. think the republicans see
where they have made mistakes, but
don't know whether they have sense
enough to correct them or not. We

TIMES CHANGE

And 80 do customers. Thirty years
ago the merchant went to market
twice a year, laid in what it would
take TO dc him for half the year, would
then return and sell his goods, wares,
etc, as he could for cash, trade and on
long time, sometimes waiting pa
tiently for two or three years for his
pay, but then he got large profits.
But now the merchant buys whenever
an article is running short, and the
watch words are short profits, quick
sales, short time and spot cash; and
doubtless the latter plan is much the
best, for both buyer and seller.
