Negros Kicking.

An association of the colored PEG
pie of Baltimore. which has chosen
the high sounding name of "The
Monumental Literary and Scientific
Association" held q meeting a few
nights since in which they gave a
political division which they called
the "Lily white Republicans, in old
times parlance "particular fits" We
select a few extracts from the ex
presslons of the speakers
George Chambers said he was
grieved at the action of the Chilly,
wumps." 81 have been a stalwart
republican all my life,' he said. 81
have never bowed the knee to Baal,
have always voted the ticket the
managers gave me and came when
they called me. Let us nominate
black men for our officers, and let US
vote for them, too. When one of
these lily. whites comes up for my
vote I'm going to show him that I'm
no longer stalwart republican. Let
US be slaves to the republican party
no longer"
Secretary w. A. Hawkins said the
colored men chad made a mistake
when they allowed themselves to be
transformed from chattel slaves to
political slaves"
Revel H. Fooks said that if any
class of men represented the lowest
and meanest end of creation it was
the white republicans of Maryland,
The "white" republicans haven't
had much TO give their dark skinned
allies in Maryland. We can't under,

The Bond Conspiracy.

Repeal the Sherman silver law is
the cry Of the gold conspirators
and their simple parrot repeaters,
and stop the shipment of gold. But
how the repeal of that law would
influence the shipment of gold abroad
they never so much as attempt to
explain. They tell us the cause OF
the export of gold is that Austria is
buying gold and has sold bonds for
80 cents drawing 5 per cent interest
to the gold Jew bankers who are
purchasing gold wherever they can get
it cheapest TO fill their contract. The
repeal of the Sherman law Wouldn't
affect this cause. The real motive
for the repeal of the said law Is to
make the already limited circulation
of the country still more restricted
and to take from the government the
entire control OF the finances, by
stopping the issue of currency based
on silver. The silver coinage is sus
pended and if the issue of legal ten
ders can be stopped also the gold
ring will be entire master of the cur
rency and through their absolute con
troll ofthat, masters of both peopleand
government. Hence they are strain.
ing every nerve to gain this point.
The whole movement is an Internal
conspiracy by this English money
trust and their allies in New York
against the government and people
of this nation. The bonds too, would
be tax law laid on the people, by
which they would be compelled to
pay an annual tax to these cunning
exploiters, who give absolutely moth
ing in return. 1t is piece of supreme
folly to talk of the government keep
ing up the national credit by going
in debt to accommodate a gang of
gold gamblers. What business has
the government borrowing money /?
The people furnish it all the money
required by taxes, to pay the current
expenses. The silver and gold and
paper money we have is all that is
required for this purpose. The peo-
pie ought to use their every day
common sense and denounce this
bond swindle late and early.

Every days papers announce
failures" in all parts Of the country
Many of these are larger corporations
like the Pennsylvania Steel company
and failures Of national banks. The
trail of the money serpent is over
them all. The same papers which
announce these signs of decay and
the march of ruin as he tramples
under his iron feet these centres of
of employment for labor, attempt
to deceive the public in their
editional columns, by procaiming
the present era one of unparalleled
prosperity. Do they imagine the

stand that when prices go down
money goes up, and it takes more
labor and produce to BUY the money.
Merchandise cannot be bought till
money is first bought and there is
where the poor man loses by the fall
in prices. He has first to sell his
labor to buy the money, and labor
falls as steadily in price as any other
saleable article. Low prices are the
worst possible condition for farmers,
laborers, mechanics and retail mer,
chants. Scarcity of money causes
low prices, unemployed labor and
hard times.
We wonder if late decisions of
Federal Judges will have taught the
labor organizations how to vote by
the time the next general election
rolls round. If not it will be fair to
conclude they are the least able to
take care of themselves of any people
on the earth when the advantages,
they possess over the laboring classes
of other countries are considered. If
the laboring classes cannot take care
of themselves with a free ballot in
their hands there is indeed no hope
for them.

The Glory of the Great Republic

There are some eloquent figures
which cannot be repeated too often
and which men are too apt to forget.
The fashion in which this great land
has paid its debts, while others have
increased theirs, is one of them.
Here are the figures for just quar-
