Applause Class legislation for the
oeni fl of the classes, class legislation
for tie benefit of special industries,
has wrought an accumulation OF
wealth IN the Eastern portion OF this
country, to the injury and detriment
Of the Southern portion and the

have your wages brought down
through the greed Of your employers
to the level Of those in France, Ger

" There is another topic that pos
sibly Southern man can discuss
with more JUNCTION, with more com
placency, with more satisfaction than
anybody else at this time. II is the
attitude of the present Admlnlstrs
ton toward the c0lored races of the
earth. Applause The slaves were
freed in acc0rdat c. with the doctrine
that I'll men are created free aud
equal, and that color has nothing TO
do with a man's standing.
That war which abolished slavery

ending t oops to the Philippines to
,hoOt men into submission who are
contendin0 for what we cOnteuded
for in l77G
"Aud 1t is a disgace to the nation
(Applause.) We are forcing our rule
upon the people of Hawai- and the
Philippine Islands. On the for

equal of the white man. applause }
"God did not make him so, ZAP
