BLACK MAIL FOE SUGAR.

It is a fact that the people
of the United States have
ilaid annually at least fifty
million dollars, to American
sugar retiners above what
they would have had to pay
for the same product if the
tariff had not prevented a
full rivalry Of foreign mar
Ekets. Here is hut one item.
Think Of it-that Republican
tariff in ten years has taken
from tbexpeople more than
FIVE hundred million dollars
more than they would have
paid if the sugar markets Of
the world had been open to
them. 1t is safe to Put it
more than a hundred million
additional for in 1880. the
advance over normal profits
was more than $55, 900, 900.
Mr.. Wilson a good authori-
ty, says, that in 1883, the
black mail paid by the people
to the 40 sugar refiners was
over $50, 900, 900. These
firms actually reduced the
wages of the workmen, aud
they struck consequence OF
the outrage.
The probability is, that
since 1880, the actual black
mallWOuld aggregate seven
hundred millions. Wha5 a
sum! Now OF this greatsum
the 40 firms pocketed how
much wages, think you, were
paid to their working men
who were forced to strike?
There were 5,857 workmen
employed. The tariff was
not for their nenefit, .fOi they
fgot but ~ ,375 ,032in wages
or less than 5 per cent. OF the
blackmAiI the whole people
coapelled topay to 49bosses.
IL not this Infamous? Is it
not i.ascally? Such is Radi-
calism-a sneak, u fraud, a
lie. Itsleceives the laborer by
making him believe that the
great tax laid BY it is for his
benefit, when he gets but a

/ NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CENSUS.

The Republicans are build
ing high on their ability to
SO use the census reports as
ito gain d great advantage
in the Southern States. The
-deSsenger prophesied this
lust as soon as it was an
nopnred that Porter, the
Englishman, had been ap-
pointed at the head OF the
business. He is utterly un-
scrupulous. The Radicals
|mean to use the census re-
turn and the Force bill in
such a way, they hope, as
shall greatly strengthen
their delegation in the House
lin the next Congress. They
will be very sure to lose
heavily in the North, and
they see they are forever
doomed unless they can get
control Of the Fifty-Second
Congress by all sorts Of foul
aud rascally measures and
methods. Their hope is in
cheating in the Sonth.
There is not the slightest
doubt Of the fact that the
Harrison party OF corrup-
tionists are banking upon
the success they hope to
achieve by the use OF intinli-
dation at the polls and the
manipulation OF the census
by the active connivance 'Of
Porter and Company. The
Washington correspondent
OF the N. Y. Times says:
ut would greatly surprise
agood many Democrats it
the negro population in the
South should not turn out
to be great iii excess OF the
most extravagant caIcula-
tions. of African increase.
The Republicans propose to
prove that they can elect a
Republican in every district
in the South where the black
population exceeds the
white.
The census will help this
plan if it increases the mum
ber OF Republican districts
according to the party
scheme. If the Democrats
were in power and tho posi-.
bility OF the perpetration o.
such an outrag were ,hinted
at, itwould be believed by a
vast number Of Republican
partisans, who are now
awaiting the reports d
Southern outrages in Flor
Ida which the Republican
managers have skillfully
and, perhaps, rehearsed il
advance.

will be able to find person.

A Righteous Bill.

The House at Washington has done Its
duty molly In adopting the bill providing
for fair elections Of Representatives to
Congress, over which the constitution
gives cone ress Jurisdiction and we hope
and trust the Senate will give the bill
prompt attention and favorable action.
The benefit of the rules adopted by the
majority at the commencement Of the SEES
sion were apparent In the prompt action
on this bill. Had the old rules that were
so favorable to flllibustering been In force,
not only the election bill but the tariff
bill, would have been hung up in the
House, by dilatory tactics of the minority.
The rules of the Senate are not so con
ducive to the prompt transaction of bust
ness by the majority party and unfortun-
ately the important measures passed upon
by the House are liable to be delayed
By the constitutional amendments of
1868 and 1870 the colored men were made
citizens of the United States and of the
several states, and given the right of suf-
frage. and solemnly assured all these
rights by the nation. In making the
colored mon citizens, and thus including
them In the basis which determines the
representation of each state iu Congress
and In the electoral college, the South
was given forty-two additional represen-
tatives and forty-tw electoral votes in
!. cnnaennance of tina Acknowledgement at
the blacks.
The shot-gnn and terrorizing policy at
first with the fraudulent practices and
bogus returns added later, has efiectually
disfranchised the colored voting popula-
ton Of more than one million in the
Southern States, and yet gave the South
ern Democrats the benefit Of Increased
representation.
In the five states Of Alabama, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina
there are 26 Congressional districts which
have majority Of coored voters; and
would return 25 republican members Of
Congress with fair election and honest
return yet every one Of those 25 districts
have been seized upon by the democrats
who practically excluded the coored re-
publican vote and elected Bourbon dem
ocrats by less than one-third tn. average
vote required to elect member of Con.
gress at the North.
The Lodge bill is just measure and
there Is no reasonable doubt of Its consti-
nationality but it Is a terrible blow to that
party, that are likely to loose some 20
congressman by its passage. No wonder
Its leaders oppose the measure with all
their strength.
