The Peoples party says to tne coioieu
people: Work out your own sai ,.n >,
under lust government and equal laws
This is all they ask and they 90 no' ~
pose to BE- used any longer as stephan
ders for selfish men, whether "hi'e vi

But saying this. the Peoples party also
says: mo mixing Of the races, no HINeu

lor." II says this in the interest OF poth
races. and all intelligent negroes recog-
nize that their future prosperity can oniy
be worked out on this line Give the
negroes their full rights urder the law,
and a fair share of the fruits OF their
labor under an equitable Industrial sys-
TEN. and they will take care or them
selves.
At a time when the perplexing negro
problem" is thus approaching ratiqhai
solution. the Democratic party, as cap
tured by the money-power OF the Nofth'
is attempting 10 throw the South back
into all the bitter throes or the coninct
Of races. and the negro is 10 De ca)oieo

the white mans head with. We charge
this as the deliberate policy OF the pres
ent Democratic machine and we re-
f,,1I III hn
a party 10 any such outrage on the peo-
pie OF the South.
The Sun sounds the alarm! While yet
there Is time, let the white men OF the
South rally to the Peoples party ana
thwart the accused attempt OF the Mug
wumps OF the North 70 saddle the wan
street yoke upon the necks Of the whlte
people Of the South, by means OF the
negro vote.
The Sun would point out that The ZINES
has a great advantage over II In tne
present discussion by reason OF its great
or space and more frequent publication
The Sun does not complain, but II Is
impossible for It with the space at It's
disposal to reply to The Times charge
of breaking with white brothers 10 form
an alliance with negroes and then 10
take up the subject Of How silver was
demonetized." The Sun discussed this
question with The Times last May and
in the opinion Of DISTINGUISHED parties
got the better Of IT, Now The Times II
repeating its former position as though
no discussion had taken place. We shan
answer IT in our next, and expose once
for all the utter untenableness Of its
position. We have preferred to-day to
defend our white civilization" but next
week the white metal shall have Justice
done it. Meanwhile. as The Times is
going a little too fast, we VIII conclude
for this week by putting on the brakes
The Times says Mr.. Ernest Seyd could
not have been instrumental in the fraudu-
lent decentralization of silver In 1873 be-
cause he was a bimetalist, and never
was in the country after 1856, and II
quotes approvingly Mr.. Hooper, "a dis
tiguished member Of Congress, from Mas
sachusetts."
The Sun will also quote Mr.. Hooper.
That gentleman had charge OF the bill
which demonetized silver, and in intro
ducing 1t he used these words THE bill
was prepared two years ago and has been
submitted to careful and deliberate eX-
animation. 1t has the approval Of nearly
all the mint experts Of the country and
the sanction of the Secretary of the
Treasury. Ernest Seyd, OF London, a dis
tinguished writer and bullionist. is now
here and has given great attention 10
the subject Of minis and coinage, after
examining the first draughts Of this bill
made various sensible suggestions, which
the committee accepted and embodied I'm
the bill."-Congressio Record Of April
9th, 1872.
Let The Times explain why It's friend,
Mr.. Hooper. said that Ernest Seyd was
here If he wasn't here. and also why. II
Mr.. Seyd was a bimetallist and his sug-
gestims were embodied In the bill, the
bill demonetzed silver against his sug-
gestions. This is enough for our honora-
BILE foe to "wrastle" over until we come
again.
