he could by decree OF law, or Of provi.
dence eXpel from Alabama every
negro in 1t, and have a barrier erected
SO that he could never return, the lands
in Alabama would run up to prices
greater than those In Wisconsin.
People would rush there with more
eagerness than they We're now showing
in trying to get into Oklahoma.
Mr.. Blair-"Do you consider that it
would DO for the interest OF the white
Southern people that the negroes should
emlgnte from the Southern States in
Mr.. Morgan-"Not in body, and not
Immediately, but have been always In
favor Of the proposition introduced by
Senator Win lom, Of MINIS t. which

his society, get subscribers for it, and
get tho negroes to migrate"
Mr.. Blair-"I think it would be quite
US much for the interest OF my State TO
encourage the colored people Of Ala.
bama to migrate there, as to encourage
the white people Of that State"
Mr.. Morgan-"The Senator may spare
himself all Of his invective against the
people Of Alabama. It will not produce
any sort Of excitement"

apart | would be thankful. He adds
nothing to my happiness, and ] think
that more intimate association with
him would improve me neither in tenn

way"
Alter this little depression Mr., Morgan
resumed and finished the reading Of his
speech.
Mr.. Chandler spoke in favor OF in.

QUIT principle which they had incor.
porated into the Confederate constitu.
ton, and meant the destruction OF oil
Northern industries that were protected
by the tariff system. They had nothing
left to kick, kill and destroy but the
protective tariff; that was the business
In which they and the President had
been engaged for the last year ind not.
withstanding their bau luck, they still
continue 10 make faces and 70 Kick.
Mr.. Vest, not noticing the remarks
about Confederate BrigadiGrs, argued
against tho amendment 10 increase tue
rlte on tin plate, saying there was not
single pound Of II Manufactured Ia the
United States and that there was no In.
stance In tho tariff legislation Of the
country where q duty was imposed Tor
the purpose Of creating IN industry

Mr.. AldriCh admitted that there was
not a pound OF tin plate manufactured
In tho United States at presentI but
