two weeks Traders are beginning 20 admit
that the law.makers in Washington are really

CHATTEL SLAVERY.

If the soul of the late lamented John
Brown still goes marching on, it is
time to call halt. 1t is time for Mr..
Browns body to turn over where 1t
lies Wondering in the grave The
news comes from Topeka that chattel
slavery has broken out in Kansas. The
trainmen of that once bleeding COM
mon wealth are accused of hauling
tramps to that state in carload lots
and selling them to the farmers at the
paltry sum of so cents per head. TAX
ing advantage of this slump in prices,
the farmers are buying up these de-
fenseless human beings and sentenc-
ing them to the harvest fields at hard
labor for the summer, and then when
the winter comes they will be turned
adrift to fill up our warehouses, jails
and penitentiaries.
That the home of the martyr of abol-
itionism could develop such degeneracy
is a heart blow such as the general
public has not received since the iri-
descent and skeletonesque John ]. In
gals went to the Corbett Fitzsimmons
exhibition-one of the mills opened af-
was best to close the mints.
Negro slavery was bad enough, but
the negroes were in a measure prepar-
ed for it, and their transfer from Afri-
ca to this country by the barbarous
dealers in human flesh was but a
change OF masters; but how is it in
Kansas? Ignoring the disgracefully
low price of so cents per head, or three
for a dollar, look at the race that is
victim of this cruel lust fer gain. The
only free, independent, Eberty-loving
and work-fearing citizens we have in
this land of boosted equality are the
tramps. They have withstood all the
encroachments of education and pro-
gress; they have jealousy guarded
their right to life, laziness and the pur-
suit of intoxicants; they have walked,
talked and breathed the free air of
heaven land they have refused to work,
according to all the dictates Of their
own consciences. These are the peo-
pie that are unloaded from freight
cars like cattle and sold into harvest
slavery in Kansas.
Is it a wonder that freedom shrinks
and that the cry goes up from all over,
this land for cooler weather? Is it a
that these guileless beings thus
forced into bondage should be de-
two days pay for sixteen
hours work and five square meals per
day? Is it a wonder that President
holds back his message rec
a currency commission and
that Jerry Simpson champs on his bit?
