PURE DEMOCRACY!

The kind that made our country one
OF the greatest powers among nations,
is what is now needed to combat the
crisis prophesied by that true patriot,
Abraham Lincoln, who said:
eve may all congratulate ourselves
that the cruel war is nearing its close, 1t
has indeed been a trying hour for the
Republic: But | see in the near future
crisis arising that unnervcs me and
causes me to tremblc for the safety
Of my country. AS a result of the
war, corporations have been cnthroned
and an era of corruption in high places
will follow. The Money Power of the
country will endeavor to prolong its
reign by working upon the prejudices
Of the people until all wealth is ag-
gregated in a few hands, and the
Republic destroyed. l feel at this
moment more anxiety for the safety
Of my country than ever before, even
in the midst of war"
There is no Disgusting the fact, that
the condition now confronts us which
caused the patriot Lincoln so much
anxiety.
A money power controls political
parties and all important elections,
placing its agents in high places Of
honor and trust.
The same power controls all legis-
latiOn and dictates what shall be the
law of the land, result made possible
and easy by working upon the preju-
dice Of the people" through the medium
Of the public press, of which ninety
nine out of every hundred are either
owned in full or part, or controlled by
its agency.
The political contest of 1892 will
again test the strength of this money
power, different from previous efforts
only in its greater virulence and ability
to deceive.
Like an oasis in the desert, the
Cincinnati Weekly Enquirer rises
equal to the emergency, placing before
its readers unbiased truth and facts
80 harmful to corruptionists' plans, and
beneficial to the people. "Truth is
mighty and viii prevail" is the En-
quirer platform. 1t is always great
; comfort to read the Enquirer.

The luckless fiat owner turned the

TN l716. A SMALL SLAVE SCHOONER
M from the coast of Africn. bound for
j Virginia. was blown far put Of her
course, toward the moth, and put in at the
port Of Boston.
The cargo consisted Of little else than a
few families Of Congo negroes, destined for
the new plantations of Virginia.
New EnGAnders did not then feel any
special adherence to slavery. II not re-
Rarded with positive favor. it was not re.
garded with disfavor, and the captain Of
the SLAYER found little difficulty in dispos-
ing Of his cargo of men, women and chill
dren to the good citizens Of Massachusetts,

Among the purchasers was Mr.. Lemuel
Clark, owner of a large tract Of land on
the Merrimac river. in New Hampshire.
Three families of negroes were bought by
him and taken to his estate in the wilder
ness.
Once the tenant Of an English baronial
estate himself, ho inclined to play the
baron on his New Hampshire domain. A
great stockade was built upon an eminenoe
overlooking the Merrimac, and within the
stockade. upon the crown Of the hill, stood
his large loRhous.. Lower down, but
within the stockade were three cabins Of
the slave families. and the more preten-
tious houses of three families of English
laborers who accompanied Mr.. Clark to
the New World. Back from the stockade,
and stretching to the foot OF some cliffs
that formed the abutment of q range Of
low hills, was a wide e1panse of level
cleared land, OF which the estate raised its
corn and potatoes. #."a." s# NJ
Beyond the few oharred 6tumps that
marked The edge of the clearing was the
forest stretching away as far az tho eye
could roach.
As the Merrimao was one of the highways
of %marauding French and Indians, the
stockade was very strongly built, and from
embrasures in its walls projected three
small brass cannon commanding the sweep
of the river in every direction. No fleet Of
CANOES could safely pass the stookads by
day. The Importance of the place was 50

The children of the fort made no dis
~tinction between white and black. The
little Clarks, sanborns, Tenneys and Mars
dens played with the little Quashees, Cush-
ees and Gambaa upon terms Of perfect
equality.
The children of both races visited from
house to house. About tho hsarths of the
negroes the little Enelishmsn listened with
fascinated horror to wild tales of devils
and evil spirits, great gerpsnts, huge river
monsters and the gigantic man-like apes of
the mysterious continent Of Africa; of
bloody tribal wars aud human sacrifice to
the heather gods. The little black boys
learned of the gay elves and enones, dainty
sprites and fays Of merry England. Of tho
good cheer of Christmas and Of the sports
Of May day. The rival story tellots strove
to Guido each other in tho marvellous tales.

to keep the craft going In a broad swoop,
