announcing that "the people will not

not be known TO the majority OF those
who triumphsntly quote this provision
to US, that i'll our own United States,
and not south OF Mason and Dixon's
line, there exists similar if not more
sweeping enactment, so stringent that
it might almost apply to the right of

Now foT moment let US listen to the

question Of the rights of the blacks in

this country:

said
" 1t Is like the other reports just dis
posed Oft ls not true. Americans
who are among us admit the very CON

proves this. The only discrimination
that is made against the Negroes in
either of the republics is in the matter
of whisky selling. They are not allow
