BEFORE THE WAR.
The Fafthfulness Of Big Dan. the Negro
Slave.

The F3fthfulnese Of Big Dan, the Negro
Slave.
A group of gentlemen, mostly from
Dixie. were discussing certain phases
of the institution of slavery as it exist
ed in their region. at one of the down
town hotels. The faithfulness of the
black man to his master was heartily
attested by those present, nearly all Of
whom had owned slaves.
There never was a more loyal sub
ject than the o1d-time plantation
darby" said Maj. George Griffin. Of Co
lumbus, ia. 1.-The percentage of slaves
who tried to gain their freedom by run
ming away was very small. which was
the best proof of their eOntented lot.
MY father had emigrsted from South
Carolina to Georgia. bringing with him
about thirty negroes. in themselves
constituting respectable fortune. He
was a thrifty planter, and with the aid
Of his cOlored vassals his worldly pos
sessions increased rapidly. Among the
number was great strapping fellow
named Dan, who from the fact OF his
ability TO do about twice the work OF
an average hand. and also for his good
disposition, was a prime favorite on
the place. Dan was really the pet OF
the family. He could shuck more corn
and pick more cotton than any of his
colleagues. and withal was as amiable
as child.
Zone summer night Dan left his
cabin and walked up to the big house.
as the servants styled the residence OF
their owner. He found my father
seated on the veranda. smoking his
pipe. and coming to him, said: Mars

but Dan thought little of walking that
distance. When the day came for him
to start he was the happiest mortal ON
earth. Father gave him nice suit OF
clothes and plenty of pocket money
He was to be back in six weeks. Some
of our neighbors prophesied that we
had seen the last of Dan, but not so. J

the road whistling a merry tune he

dissipated after we left the world: but
you have repented. our prayer has
been Answered, and you are here: and

we died. now we visit you in your

Joseph is yet alive?' and the mother
will say: Yes, father. Joseph is yet
alive And then they will talk over
their earthly anxieties in regard to you,
and the MIDNIGHT applications in your

which they used to cheer their stagger-

j. PIERpoNr MORGAN is a banker,
so j. Pierpont has made his immense
riches with the devil fish usury,
which is now given the more eu-
phoneous name, interest. to suit
modern christianity (?). He has
not gathered his riches by honest
manual labor. He has gathered it
by taking advantage Of his less
wealthy neighbors. Their necessi.
ties have compelled them to pay
him usury for the use Of dollars he
secured from come other unfortunate
fellow His few dollars have been
compounded and compounded and
re.compounded until many fortunes
have been gathered into his Golfers
to OVERLOOKING. and now he is in
condition to throw q little charity
gold dust into the eyes of the Al
mighty, and to purchase little
cheap fame. If we had few hun
.dred thousand fewer men like j.
Pierpont Morgan in the world, there
would not be 80 many provident
and charity associations and other
like institutions, for the best OF all
reasons: they would not be needed.
1t is the incessant robbery through
usury that compels the erection OF
such institutions to prevent actual
starvation. j. PierpOnt can't pur-
chase his way to Heaven with few
of his stolen ducats.

The KANSAS AGlrAEoR, of Garnet,

The KANSAS AGrAEoR, of Garnet,
Kansas, is not only a strong and
clear exponent of reform, but it is
in the middle of the road" and
feminist fusion. Better yet, it is
entirely fearless. Whenever Broth
er Champe feels that something
ought TO be said he gives his stove
pipe hat an extra tilt and sails in
and says it. We might sometimes
disagree with the AGITAToR. but
will always have to believe in the
sincerity and honesty of it's editor
For two months in 1892 we were in
the AGITAToR office, and we know
the great sacrifice made by the ed
itor and his pright little wife to
keep the reform flag flying. Such
sacrifice is made only by those who
place principle above pelf; such
sacrifice is hardly understood and
appreciated by the outside world -

ANDREW CARNEGIE, John Pier
pont Morgan and other multi-million-
aires are doing a wonderfully great
work of charity, according to the
ports through the usurers' mouth
piece, the gold-bug press. Now If
it had not been for the criminal ma
chinations of tariff and financial
legislation of the Andrew Carne-
gies and John Pierpont Morgans,
there would be no opportunity tor
them to make a display of their
charity. And, is it charity? Is it
charity to cut the wages of their
employees to beggarly subsistence
and then contribute the amount
thus gained to the needy and desti'
tute-made such by another class Of
robbers Labor should have COM
pensation which would enable every
individual who eats his or her bread
by the sweat of their faces to put
aside a little for the day of need.
Low wages and usury will eternal
ly keep labor poor. Low wages to
laborers, with usury and the per-
petual grind of toll, enables the
favored few to pile ny unparalleled
fortunes and then, when the grind
has been overwrought,, and want
stalks abroad, the robbers return a
pittance to the robbd called it char
ity, and get great name for philan-
trophy.

The old party country papers are
silent as the tomb about the condi-
ton of the country, when hundreds
of thousands are starving. What
do they mean? Are their editors
30 ignorant that they don't know
these things ? Have they no care
for their starving countrymen Do
they feel too guilty of their part in
the villainy to say word! Do they
think their silence will cure the
evil, or that the people will not
finally discover the truths and ap-
ply remedy? They have plenty of
space for prize fights and descrip-
tons of rich peoples sports and en-
tertainments, but there is not word
for the men and women crying to
heaven for mercy from the crushing
process that elevates the rich. The
only politics they know is to get

In the days Of trial, when the

and the swish of shells, and the

Now, after thirty years OF peace,
the same old usurers, who remain,
and the descendants Of those who
have gone hence, in their great
need, must still be paid in gold, and
are given a special lien upon the Ia

whose octopus grip is extending
over every branch of industry a
