A race war is feared in Alabama.
A newspaper published by coll
ored preacher at Selma is the
cause of tho trouble. In recent
issue Of his paper this preacher
said: Where you (the whites) to
leave this southland, in twenty
years it would be one of the grand
est sections of the globe. We
would show you mossback crackers
how to run country. You would
mover see convicts halfstarved
depriying honest workingmen of an
honest living 1t is only a matter
of time when throughout this
whole State affairs viii be changed.
! hope to your sorrow We were
mover destined always to be SER
wants, but, like all other races,
will and must have our day as
you have yours. You have pre-
dicted that at no very distant day
We will have our race war, and we
hope, as God intends, that we will
be strong enough to wipe you ont
of existence and hardly leave
enough Of you to tell the story. It
is bound to come, and just such
hot headed cranks as the editors
Of some of our Democratic journals
are just the right set to hasten IT.
1t is fate" The preacher is now
absent from Selma and the whites
have determined that he shall not
return. The surprise of the affair is
the fact that the Republican Tariff
Reform League, of Birmingham, has
mot and denounced the editorial as
ineendiary and ''offered their
physical aid to stop such utteran-
ees." Can these things be after all
the Republicans have said about
the "shot gun policy Physical
aid is good.

The untiring vigilance of Demo-
erats is causing uneasiness among
our Republican friends. For in
stance, take this paragraph from
the Chicago Inter Ocean:
The Cosrier-.IosrnaE remarks that
Americans do not know how to rest
That is especially true of the Demo-
cratic party. They don't seem to
know how. and yet the people have
given them frst-class opportu-
nifty"
No. the people do not expect the
Democratic party to rest. At the
last election a majority of 100, 600
declared in favor of Democratic
principles, and the people expect
the party to proclaim them and up
hold them without resting, without
hating.
Each day makes palmer the evil
tendencies of the Administration of
Mr.. Harrison. Every pledge con
corning the civil service has been
violated. Every promise made in
behalf of the tariff has come to
naught- The surplus in the Treas
ury is being squandered rcckiessly
by every department, while the
conduct of the Pension office has
reached the proportions of a
national scandal.
The teachings as well as the prac-
tiees of the Republican party are
undermining our free institutions.
That party is striving to establish
a centralized plutocracy on the
ruins of popular and local govern
ment- We are to be dazzIed by
the splendors of international diplo-
macy, and kept quiet by liberal ex-
pcnditures for every Imaginable
object. Under the plea of aiding
the State schools they are made
dependent on Federal bounty.
Taxes collected from the people in
1861 are to be returned to the
States after the lobbyist have sub
tracted their commissions. The
army is to be increased, millions are
10 be spent in steamship subsidies,
the Ubiquitous tariff will be main
tanned to supply funds for a myth
cal navy and for building sea coast
defeDses from Alaska to Florida.
In view of such a policy of ex-
travagaDee and corruption, it is not
strange the Democrats are on the
alert and eager for the coming con-
fiict- They are to see that no harm
comes to the Republic; hence their
untiring activity will increase until
the Republicans are driven from
power.-LouisuiLe Courier Journal.

The trusts of the country have
advanced tho prices on almost every
article of necessity and will con-
tinue to do SO long as the Republi-
can party retains its power, for the
reason the trusts control the party
as completely as it controls the
different branches of the govern
ment.

The Curse OF High Taxes-It
Falls on the Lsab0rer I'm the
End.

runs Oh tne AaDOrer III the
Kanawha Gazette.
You tax the property owner in
town and he raises his rent. To
make up the rise in the rent the
grocer and merchant raises the price
of whatever he sells.
You tax the farmer, and he re-
duces the pay of his hands. You
tax the mine owner, the manufact-
urer, &c, and he reduces the price
of labor. You tax the banker, and
he raises the rates of discount. You
tax the money-lender, and he raises
the interest. So it all comes back
on the laborer in the end. 1t may
do for the little two-penny politi-
clans who have or expect to get of
fees to cry out, tax property, tax
everything. They hope to gotta part
of the taxes, and they get the most of
them. There is not a States attor-
ney, clerk, sheriff or constable,
or any other little officer in the
State who is not making three times
as much out of his Office as he ever
made before. Who pays it2 The
laborer of the country pays it. The
salaries, pay and charges of these
officials might be reduced fully one
third, and the offices would be filed
with just as good men as now
Somebody, or some portion of the
people of town or city want an
Improvement. They go to work
and log-roll with somebody else.-
They all cry out, raise the taxes.
They arc raised, and the improve
ment is made twenty years before
it is needed. Somebody wants a
fine Court House. They raise cry,
issue bonds. Well, they tried that
here. We, the people smothered
that cry.
1t is dangerous thing to put in
power men who pay but little taxes,
or dishonest men who run their
Offices for selfish purposes.
That is exactly what we are
doing, and we are paying for it.
You raise money for the educa-
ton of the children, but their
fathers are so heavily taxed that
they cannot clothe them decently,
and they don't go to school.
Again the towns are full of
tramps and idlers, who cat up the
substance of families, and make
their victims so poor that they can
not employ labor. Every tramp
and idler is a robbor of the laborer.
We need a work house. Give the
laboring man a chance. Protect
the honest and industrious from
tramps and idIers. Less pay for
officials and moro for working peo-
pie. Low taxes and high pay for
labor. Warehouses for oilers. and
protection for the industrious.
This is what we want.

ItsTongil- Rnf IfsTrne.

While wages are going down and
work is getting scarcer, the prices
of the necessaries of life are advanc-
ing. There is hardly commodity
which does not cost more than it
did six months ago, while in every
department of industry the tendency
ofwages is downward. The trouble
is that the trusts, most of them
children of the protective tariff,
have obtained control of both ends
of the market Competition has
ceased to be a factor in buying Ia
Dor, as in selling it's produces
When individuals or corporations
go into 'scombine,' they cease to
bid against each other for labor
They simply agree among them
selves what wages they will pay,
and the workingmen must either
take what they offer or be idle
Having arbitrarily fixed the rate OF
wages, they in the same manner fix
the prices at which they sell their
products. The only limitation upon
these prices are the height of the
tariff walls, and the ability of the
consumers to pay. The working
men are robbed when they buy, and
robbed whom they sell. Yet they
arc '.protected''-God save the mark
and sOIemnly warned that if this
country should adopt free trade they
would not be prosperous" and con-
tented" Was there ever such trans
parent humbuggery-such bare
faced imposition-such wicked dem
agogism2- indianapolis Sentinel.

Speaking of the forest and coal
fields of West Virginia, a cores
pondent writing from Piedmont,
says: "Within the past few years
an Immense amount of capital has
been directed toward West Virginia
in the development of her wonder
tul coal fields and great forest OF
spruce and henlOck, poplar, oak,
cherry and other woods. Accord
ing to the reports of expert geolo-
gists, in what is known as the Elk
Garden region there are more than
one hundred million tons of mer-
charitable and accessible coal, and
it was estimated that there are in
the Upper Potomac region in West
Virginia one thousand million tons
of available coal" The West Vir-
ginia Central runs through this
district and owns much of this val
uable property. The Upper Mo-
nongahela coal field is even larger
than either of the coal fields above
named. II is being opened up by
the Mon0DgaheIa River X. R."
