rove S"s 70 iii hurrab. The republican
r. IN the past has granted to then
Ills right; the Office, the white re
publicsns have kept themselves.
"Whal are the demands which Vol
think the Alliance should be granted
There are several. am not sure tina
without considerable time, l car
name all of them. There however
are a few United States Senators who
purchase their way in the uppe,
branch of congress would find it hard
er to buy all the people ola state thar
to buy the members Of legislature
which usually numbers less than two
hundred members, besides it would
make those gentlemen more consider
ate Of the interest Of the people.
Sound thinking Democrats believe
that the electoral college should be
abolished and that the votes of the
whole people should determine who
shall be president. Had this been
the law in 1883, Cleveland would now
be president instead of Harrison.
The Government should give the peo-
pie more money until there is ut least
IN circulation fifty dollars per capita.
l am not sure but what one half Of the
diplomats abroad should be
recalled. Strict emigration laws
should be passed. Citizenship
by a foreigner here should
be as hard to obtain in this country
as it would be for an American citizen
to become a citizen in his. In other
words We ought not to place a pre-
MUM on the worthless amin ated
sticks filled with anarchistic ideas that
daily pass through the gates of Castle
Garden.
1t has always appeared inconsistent
to me to place duty on articles made
by foreigners before letting them in
while the foreigner is let in free. 1t
seems that of the two, foreign goods
are less damaging to our laborers than
the foreigner. The goods eat nothing,
are incapable of competing in wages
and cannot spread doctrines danger
Gus to our American institutions"
"You will please tell me something
about Liberia. II beg to be excused.
l have already said 90 much and Libe.
ria is such a fertile subject am not
only afraid of taxing your space, but
1 am also disposed to think that l
will make weary your readers.
No man should discuss Africa
or any part Of it in a short
talk, such as this is. But l must be
allowed to say that Liberia has no
government except in name. As a
republic it is a failure. An army of
unpaid officers equalliug more than
half the voters, a treasury with no
money, a postmaster-general without
mail. a secretary of the navy without
even q canoe, a secretary of the in.
terror without a road running a mile
out of any of their seaport villages, a
secretary of state with no archives
not a horse, mule, donkey or even
broken in OK. The negro who leaves
here for that country is a fool and the
man who advises them to 60, know
ing the facts, is a scoundrel. 1t is q
land Of buga-bugs, drivers, cent?
pedes, boa-constric,ors, casada snakes,
and other poisonous reptiles. A land
where it rains six months in the year,
where all are employees without en-
ployment or employers and where
prejudice by the natives against the
American Negro is mountain high"
"Where do you 60 from
here. II am TO speak at Bismarck
Grove near Lawrence August LIST.
There will be excursions from a num-
Der of Kansas towns 10 that place on
the day mentioned to celebrate the
emancipation of the West Indian
blacks. On the 4th of August speak
in Independence, Missouri, from there
/ 60 to Texas where 1 will remain a
few days speech making. l will spend
the month of October in Ohio and
Iowa, trying to re-eleet Campbell and
Boies."
Are you in much demand for
speeches, by your own foiks!'
al have invitations to sp ak a. Ell ht
different Placss on the 1t, mi nearly
that many on the 4ih. 1t would take
three men to fiji! my engagements.
Besides all this speech making, | have
to edit the paper, which you know is
national organ. l expect to place
it in the hands of colored men in
every state in the Union. If the lib.
erty loving and patriotic White people
give me the same aid everywhere that
l have received in Sedalia
the political solidity of the negro will
