Apropos of the agitation that is now
going on in the financial and political
world Gov. Leland Stanford senator from
California introduced bill recently in
Congress providing for the loaning of
money direct to the people, by the
United States at 2 per cent taking mort
cages Oh land as security. Perhaps this
may be unwise legislation viewed from
politicians standpoint. but it is the
legislation demanded by the people.
The yeomanry Of any country constitute
the worth of that country and as they
prosper so does the country at large
Congress has adjourned and the Repub-
lican party at It's own election must 20
before the people advocating the tariff;
the democratic party must take the OPP
posite side now; the party that takes the
middle ground and advocates the ideas
of the people must necessarily cut quite
figure in the presidential contest. Col.
Jas. Hickey a very shrewd politician and
keen observer of passing events thus
speaks Of Senator Stanford's plan. II be-
lleve it will be understood-and the peo-
pie are so anxious for knowledge this
time-I believe it will be understood
that whatever party goes to the country
upon this Issue in 1892 will carry it as it
has never b. en- carried before.' It is
worth the while of the Colored man that
he take cognizance of these passing yet
ever present events and move very eau.

During this session of Congress we
have seen the West and South combine
on more occasions than one. The cleo
ton bill was by this means laid away and
thus the question OF freedom of the bal
lot is left to be settled by the people
without the Federal governments inter
ference and will thus speedily be settled
if the Colored man moves cautiously and
intelligentlv. Senator Stanford is max
ing rapid strides in public favor. If the
Colored man is sensible and sticks by the
Republican party he is all right. The
Republican party cannot 60 before the
people On the same platform of 1888, no
matter who the standard bearers may
be, and win. President Harrison has
been safe. upright and conscientious
man in the presidential chair as in pri-
vate life. Senator Stanford is public
spirited, brainy senator and a philan-
thropist Between the two the Colored
man can secure his political freedom so
| it behooves him to move cautiously.
