Booker 7. Washington, the colored
lecturer. spoke in New York recently.
In his lecture he spoke of the moral
and religious life of his own race and
said that it was probably all that could
be expected after their $50 years 10
slavery. He told an anecdote of an
old slave who reasoned that, as his
body belonged to his master, if he ate
were his, and no theft had been com
mitted. HIS master demonstrated with
him for eating chicken shortly after,
and the slave replied: well, massa,
you'se got less chicken, but you'se got

A CORRECTION.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
WASHINGTON, D. O., April 10, 81.
In the sixth paragraph of my article
10 The PROGRESSIVE FARMER of April
9Th, 1 am made tx say Poll taxes
should be payable, either in money OF
In labor, etc
The words should b3" must have
been inserted by the c~ompositor. Any
way, l did not intend that they should
be there. 1t destroys the sense of my
article, and makes one paragraph con-
tradict another. I believe there should
be no poll tax, or other tax which
operates as one, such as tariff taxes
levied on the necessaries Of life. The
paragraph in question should read as
follows:
Poll taxes, payable, either in money
or in labor, as the road taxes Of North
Carolina, which require six days Labor
of male adults per year; tarin taxes on
the n~ecesseries of life, which falls as
heavily on the poor as on the rich, etc,
all may be classed under one head
They tend to down the man who is
financially weak; and when there is no
property tax, capital is left to follow it's
natural inclination-to concentrate in
q few hands"
Very respectfully,

fund and investment with q Business
Agent who is capable and true.
And now what we need is to profit
by the mistakes of. the past. The same
necessity for the Alliance exist to day
that existed at it's birth; indeed there
is more need for the Order than ever
before. The prophesies that We made
years ago have been, or are being full
filled. We predicted q failure Of the
Cleveland administration; we have q
it, the darkest, period of u nations
history, in time Of peace. We now
have the prospect of four more years OF
CleveIandism intensified; but few men
outside of office, or who are not IN,
terested in combines or trusts, expect
anything beneficial from the present
administration. We can see not one
ray Of hope from the Republican party
unless, indeed, an increased taxation
of over one million dollars annually
will be beneficial. But perhaps the
foreigner will pay this tax. We do
not expect any financial Legislation
that will do the people any good. And
we know that the only chance for the
farmer is in organization, and that
without regard to partisan prejudice.
Since these things r so, it bebooves
us, and I mean by all men who believe
in a government for and by the people,
to get together; let it no longer be said
that the Alliance is only a POpulist
camp; but rather be it said that weare
patriots banded together for liberty
and prosperity. Let US lay aside every
weight and run with patience. The
goal is not only ahead. but ia worth ell
our efforts to obtain. Liberty, equality,
justice, and all that has made our
country great in the past, and every
man, be he Democrat, Republican, or
Populist, who believes in a true il fer.
sonisn government, ought to be with
US. We must get together. We have
no apologies to make; non are ece
sary. The condition Of the country de-
mands that we should unite. 1t is our
earnest hope that every Allianceman,
those that once stood with US, will come
back to the Populist party though
POpulism and Democracy are synony-
nous terms. But to the Alliance we
need them and they need us, and if we,
as the true sons of brave eirea, would
protect the heritage they have given
us, u duty is plain; let us arise to the
performance Of that duty, and if we
will but do our best, we may look with
hope for the progress and prosperity of
our people, and transmit to our chill
dren the greatest Of all blessings-a
government OF, for and by the people.
