the Older generation politically power

viii Toe "a steadily diminishing quantity
in point of relative numbers With
sweeping Acknowledgement of all Tilt
crates Of both Colors II is doubtful If
even in South Carolina, the black vote
would ever again be one-half as large
as the white.
From all Of this il follows that il is
altogether absurd for the people Of any
Southern State to lash themselves into
a ferment over the imaginary danger Of
negro domination. Equally absurd, and
mulc unWise. is it for them upon any
feeling Of perverted sentiTlentality to
make exceptions in their ballot laws in
favor Of men whose ancestors were vot-
tiers. As Senator Morgan suggests
such exceptions rest upon no basis Of
reason or justice. They simply create
an hereditary class Of voters-men who
vote not because of any merits Of their
own, but because their grandfathers
voted before them. A ballot cast by an
ignorant white man is no more likely
10 be voted intelligenuy than it would
be if the voter were black. and the ex-
Cepion is. moreover. in direct conflict
with the spirit and genius Of American
institutions The exception is more uu-
just TO the educated whites than il is
TO the ignorant blacks. and there is
literally nothing to be urged in its
favor

The reports from Europe indicate thar
the wheat crops of France. Germany.
and several other more OF less import
ant countries Of the Old World. are
far below the normal. and that more
than the usual quantities must he i'm
ported in order to supply the deficiency.
II is said that France alone viii have
to look to other countries for about
fifty-siN million bushels. This condition
tends TO the advantage # those coun-
tries that have wheat for sale. Of which
countries the United States heads the
list.
In this case, though. as in many 9TH
ers. the mere figures Of shortage taken
at their face value are quite likely to
mislead. For example, while France is
hfty-siX millions short. il by no means
follows that she Will buy any such
quantity. II must be remembered that
crop failures. either total OF partial,
affect the general business conditions
Of the country in which the failures &C.
cur. and IN doing SO they affect the buy
ing power OF the nation. In brief.
crop failure detracts from the sum Of
national prosperity, and the less pros
porous country is the less 1t can and
Will buy even Of the neCessaries Of life.
With a considera bic portion Of the Eu-
ropean population wheaton bread IS al
most luxury TO be INDUCED in only
when prosperity abounds. In seasons
when times are hard there is a very
considerable substitution Of cheaper
IN this connection il must also be
noted that there mas. during recent
months. been a marked subsistence Of
