ton belts a1d encourage the Negro to
leave; 1t is rare thing to hear any Of
the old master class in the South
preaching the disfranchisement of thu
Negro. 1t comes mainly from those
who were too poor to own Negroes be-
fore the war, and have sprung into
prominence by happy accident since

would disfrsnchise the entire race, and
in their stead we come and enfranchise
into our body polite all the sewerage OF
the old world, representing socialism,
nihilism, commonism and all the Othe
fanaticisms which clog the wheels OF
progress. paralyze the arteries of com
merce and threaten the very founda

senator says Negro suffrage has done
more to retard the progress of Mississlp
pI and Louisiana than anything else;
1 think he is sadly mistaken. Hostili
ty to the protection OF home industries
and sound financial system have kept
hose states behind more than any
thing else. Surely the white man in
this country represents higher, purer,
nobler, broader and more enlightened
manhood and civilization than to claim
that the disfranchi-ement of the Negro
is necessary to secure the permancy of
his moral, so '1al and intellectual su.
premacy. Let the Senator and his par
ty place the qualifications to exercise
he elective franchise as high as they
please; let it be education, wealth or
moral excellence and we will come up
to it, but to disfranchise us, or even
seek to do it In the face of onr history
