Mr.. Malone is mistaken. The commercial
policy the South needs is just what she has
been having the last four years-let her
alone. But that Is not what Is bOthering
Mr. Malone and the republican politicians.
What troubles them is that the white man
rules the country and not the negro. Even

head of the Mass. Bureau, (the only bu-
reau of labor statistics that has produced
work that has had any real scientific value,)
and transferred from Boston 70 Washing

lector and compiler of statistics of this
character In America; and what advantage
