GRIMES OF GEORGIA.

Abraham Lincoln was martyr in this
cause; Charles Sumner endangered his
life to declare that the slave oligarchy
must die; Ulysses S. Grant. the nations
greatest soldier, said in the South:
Where I am they can come" Is it
not strange then that, in the face of all
this, and after such signal victory over
lost cause, a Southern Representative
would dare to revive these unfortunate
recollections; and may not ask, must
the war be fought over again? 1t is un-
fortunate, Mr.. Grimes, that you and
others of your section.take advantage of
their representative positions to force
the hotel keepers of Washington to SUBJ
NIT to barbarous discrimination toward
such a large class of your fellow citizens.
I am glsd however, that there are gen.
tlemen in the South who do not accep:
or condone these outrages against our
race, scores of whom I could name if
necessary.
The South is my home, it is the home
of my wife, it is the home of my chill
dren, and I hope, sir, that in the near
future the better element of her white
citizens will take control of her public
and purge from her good name the foul
reputation made SO obnoxious and
shameful to Christian civilization by
such prejudices as evinced by you at
the Riggs house on Monday evening
Hoping that under the new code OF
rules of the House of Representatives
your reformation will be brought about
before the close of the session, and that
you will return to Georgia wiser and a
better man. I have to remain yours
respectfully. HI. G. G. AsTwooD.

Outstanding relative to che intellectual

nip this spirit of gewgawism in the bud,
While it is an acknowledged fact that
every legal tender is fact, yet it is
equally evident that not every fact is a
legal tender.

spicy journal, an article purporting to
have originated within and by the men,
bers and pastor of Zion Baptist church.
in defense Of the action of said church
relative to the ordination of Brother F.
Lomack, I wish to say right here, that
neither nor the church has given such
an authority to any one. Whenever the
church wishes to reply to anything over
which she may have reason to feel
grieved, it's pastor is fully capable of
answering her demands. Being very

this in defense of myself, in defense OF
the church and in defense of The APPEAL

fought to save this Uuion and free his
fellow men, who were held in bondage,
was Joseph T. Wilson. He was mem

GUS 54th Massachusetts Vols. He
fought and then he wrote 'The Black
Phalanx" history of the Afro-Ameri-
saldiers of the United States in the wars

first Afro American member of the Ma
tional Council of Administration of the

Encampment, and was appointed Col

chief Il. A. R. He was chosen by his
comrades to be historian ofthe Afro
American soldiers, and the above is the
title of the book he wrote. It is book
which should be found in the home OF
every Afro-American in the land. Mr..
J. B. Turner has secured the sole agency

AS member of st. Anthony Lodge I
wish to make few comments on the
successful entertainment given by us on
Tuesday evening at the 6. A. R. Hall.
Owing to the committee failing to ex-
tend to the press of our city the courtesy
due them, the reporters table was con-
spicuous for its isolated appearance.
The affair with that exception, was one
which merrited blazing head lines of
credit to its speakers and other par
Elephants in our daily papers. At a sea-
sonable hour Mars Lodge of St. Paul ar
rived in full regalia and in goodly num-
bers. Mr.. q. v. Mitchell made very
lifting welcome address to Mars Lodge
and the Household OF Ruth of St. Paul.
Mr.. F. D. Parker of Mars Lodge re-
sponded in a lengthy speech fully cover
ing all points at issue of the evening.
Rev. L. G. Sbeafe responded in behalf
Of the Household of Ruth with eloquence
and ability, he quoted Ruth as follows:
Entreat me not to leave thee or to re-
turn from following after thee, for
whittier thou goest will 60, and where
thou lodgest will lodge; thy people
shall be my people, and thy God my
God; where thou diest, will die and
there will I be buried; the Lord do so
to me and more also, if aught but death
part thee and me and said there could
be no more fitting illustration of womens
love than the above example. Mrs.
Gertie Anderson then sang one of her
solos which was we'll received. The
audience was then treated to an opper-
tunity of hearing the esteemed and elo-
quent Lawyer F. L. McGhee of St. Paul
in his Grafton on the grandure of the
order. Which merited applause on all
sides. Mr.. J. N. Allison sang as ne never
sang before with pathos, melody and
skill. Rev. j. NJ. Henderson then
spoke or. the race problem, His address
was mastery one and enthused and
enlightened every one who heard him.
Our accomplished and favorite soprano
singer Mrs. VIM. N. Smith then sang
one of her sweetest solos. VIM. R.
Morris our esteemed lawyer and scholar
then made the speech of the evening on
the race problem. Prof. and Mrs. A..

It is to the interest of all who have to
work for their living to have steady
demand for. workmen in all parts of the
country. This Protection aids to bring
about by keeping out of the country such
articles as can as we'll be made here.
There is labor in every pound of iron,
every yard of cloth, every bale of hemp,
fax and wool imported from abroad,
and to the extent Of such Importation is
the demand for home labor reduced.
Without a tariff the inevitable result
will be that the standard of wages paid
in this country must be lowered to some
where near the level of wages paid
abroad. This it must be, or nc work at
all upon such articles as foreigners are
willing to make cheaper than we are
now making them. Owners of factories,
whose products are undersold by cheap
er-made foreign products, will 20 out OF
business unless wages come down SO as
to enable them to successfully compete.
In the event that they are forced to
close, workmen now in their employ
will have to look elsewhere for work,
and, in getting it, will crowd all the
harder the lists of those industries that
may survive.
This view has both experience and
common sense for it's support. No mat
ter what free trade theorists may preach,
there never has been, there never can
be, found adequate compensation in
cheaper prices for the decentralization q
wages, and difficulty to get work on any
terms, that have invariably accompanied
experiments at reducing the tariff to a
so-called revenue basis. The promised
cheapness is delusion, in that it only
cheapens when the people are unable to
buy.
