IT'S EFFECT UPON THE STATES
POLITICS AND INDUSTRIES.

1t must be manifest to every one
who gives the matter any thought
whatever that so long as the danger
of negro domination III single city,
town or county exists it will over
shadow every other question. As much
as men differ in their opinions ON great
econnnic questions they cannot afford
to let these differences divide them 50
long as they are in the presence of this
danger. But only let this danger pass
away and the question of negro domina-
ton in any section will be put to rest,
and then our people can and viii turn
their attention to the consideration of the
great public questions that are pressing
themselves upon us for solution. Tariff
taxation may be be an old threadbare
question, yet il is by no means a set
tied one. The great trusts and combi-
nations which are imposing onerons
burdens upon the consumer as wcll as
seriously paralyzing the energies OF
the enterprising young men OF small
means. rest largely for their security
and protection upon the present exor-
bitant rates OF tariff taxation. Fortu
natelY there is a feeling growing up
among the great mass of the people
that these trusts aud combinations
must be destroyed or they viii destroy

rauneration Of Individual efforts, en-
