The Negro Still Outraged.

DIR. j. Ii. Potts, editor of the Michigan
Christian Advocate. well known throughout
Michigan as an earnest aud fearless advo-
cate of what he believes to be right and
true, has recently returned from trip
through the south. During his sojourn
down there he was a clear and close Observ-
er, and I'm recent issue of the Christian
Advocate he gives the result OF his observa-
tons. They deserve careful reading and
candid considerations:
All the actions of the dominant class for
the past fifteen years. I'm the notorious
methods of fraud and violence, revolution
and reconstruction" have been designed
to maintain the whites In power and to de-
| prive the negro of his rights In spite OF the
constitution of the United States and in
| spite OF all laws made for its enforcement.
Practically, i'm the south, the negro has no
political rights. He is eliminated from
politics. The constitution of the United
States and the old flag are mockeries, vani-
ties and shams so far as the real essence or
citizenship is concerned. The whole bust
ness is an infamous shame. and the people
of the north of all parties are recreant to
their most solemn obligations, and utterly
throw away the fruits of the victory OF the
civil war by allowing these outrageous IN

as man and citizen. The election bill
recently before congress may have had its
defects and impracticable features, but its
utter defeat Is a shame and injury. The
very class of men who ought to be restrain
ed and regulated by some measure of the
kind are embOldened by its defeat, and the
last state of the negro is worse than the
first. There is one thing which the south
erner appears to be unable to forgive, and
that is the manner of northern attention to
the colored people. The Yankee school
teacher is the object of supreme contempt

In convent. DIR. Atkinson and family
have been at the university in New Orleans
five years, and are as fine people as society
anywhere contains. yet no southern MethO-
dists or other church members recognize
them in any way. Not young man has
called on their son. nor child on their chill
dren: They are the friends of the colored
people, and that is enough for the whites to
know.

The industries which have been

The industries which have been most
highly protected in this country arc
those in which not only the greatest
improvements have been effected, but
the greatest reductions of price have
taken place. Such reductions, however,
are not those that result from the cheap
ening Of men or the crushing out of hui
manity. They are the result of the
cheapening of methods by requiring Less
sacrifice to be expended in production.
The truth of this is evident from the
fact that wages have 3 t onii not de-
clined, but have risen.
