while We must be content with the crust
and the shell while our betters possess
the oyster and the bread.
Next comes the protective tsrlff.-a
prolific means Of harvesting votes and of
enlisting men of means and influence in
support Of the party. 1t appeals to still
another moneyed class, and more active
and efficient one than bankers or bond
holders-s class who have thousands
under it's thumb, and who don't scruple
to use their power to suborn the votes Of
these thousands; as even the Rev. Tai
mage and Ben Butler, who lived among
them and had felt their influence, bore
witness; and as we all know. Think of
a government selecting few, not over
5 or 10 per cent. Of its whole population,
for it's special favor and aggrandizing
them at tie expense of the other 80 or
IS per cent. Of it's population, subordi-
mating the farming community, who
constitute the bulk of the consumers, to
the msnufacturers;comp the former
to buy Of the latter only, under heavy
penalties, while the latter can sell where
ever or to whoever it sees fit-limiting
and restricting the farmer at both ends
Of the deal and favoring the manufac-
turer accordingly. Because the farmer,
not being able to sell abroad, has his
products massed at home, and this
enables the manufacturer to get his sup
plies at his own price, and thus the
American people have been humbugged
and deceived for years. But it answered
the admirable purpose Of the party, to
raise funds to carry elections, and that
was it's ends as we see now clearly.
And there is that other cunning in
vention to perpetuate the existence Of
the party-negro suffrage. Could there
have been any other object or purpose
in view in injecting such a vote into the
franchise OF the countryr An utterly
unread and unintelligent people, just out
of slavery, and the mass Of them in the
south but little better than brutes, as
the writer has himself witnessed at
Beaufort, South Carolina, where they
are massed on the sea shore, doing scarce
q days work each in month, and are
fast relapsing into bsrbarism. And yet
you will hear republicans, every now and
then, slurring the ignorance of the dem
ocratic masses. Blaine, in his "Thirty
Years Of Congress-" rebuked this repub-
lioan scheme as follows: "The north
did not originally intend to enfranchise
the negro, but was forced to it by the
stubborn attitude of the south" Gn re-
sisting the civil rights bill-putting the
negro on a perfect equality with the
white in hotels and public conveyances,
/ suppose he means; but which was
afterwards declared unconstitutional and
set aside by the supreme COURT. He
continues: an fact, it was thrust upon
them (the south), not in the orderly un-
folding of pre.ordained and properly
digested plan, but in hot impulse and
passion; against the judgment OF the
world and the lessons of history; and
above all, to the peril OF popular govern
