6rysn and the Race Problem.

Mr.. Bryan, behind his newspaper.
the COmmoner, continues to worry
the administration organs.
The following conclusions on the
race problem are particularly worry.
ing TO the Chicago RecOrd-Rerald:
The suffrage amendments in the
south, so much com planned OF by re.
publican politicians, are not nearly so
severe as the republican colonial
policy in the Philippines.
Il. In every southern state some of
the negroes can vote now, and all
others can qualify themselves for the
suffrage. In the Philippines the in
habltants are permanently disqualiti-
ed.
- The negroes ia the south, even
when they cannot vote, have the pro-
lection of federal and state constitu.
tions. The Filipino has no constitu-
tlOnal protection.
80. The negroes IN the soutb live
under the laws that the white man
makes Tor himself. The Filipino lives
under laws that We make for hin,
ana would not live under ourselves"

ocaLA'S FINE CATTLE.

There was time when it was sup.
posed that the razorback hog and the
poorest breeds of cattle and stock
were the only kind that would thrive
in Florida. This was not because
such was really the case. but because
the people had not given their at
tentiOn to the finer breeds.
The big cattle sale in Ocala day be-
fore yesterday shows that this idea no
longer prevails. The finest cattle
We're put on the block. and from ,
O'Clock until night. bidders were
eager 70 buy. During the afternoon,
ten thousand dollars in casn was
snapped for ten thousand doll an
worth of blooded cattle.
Scrub stock and cattle NAV be al
lowed to run wild. but if any! care j.
taken of them at all il costs as much
TO keep them a. to keepsthe finest
varieties, aud does not give nearly 20
much in return. Nothing. would be
of more value to the state than the
general introduction of tine varities
of stock and cattle. Florida ought to
become one of the greatest dairy
states of the Union, and sthe interest
taken in the sale of fine ,.cattle 81
Ocala shows a tendency in that
direction. -Times-UniOn.

THE TRUE JOHN MIrcHELLS.

Ia their speeches at Tampa the
Labor Day orators plucked many
flowers and piled them as a tribute at
the feet of John Mitchell now the
most conspicuous leader of organized
labor in the United States.
John Mitchell has fairly won and
is entitled to all the flowers that are
o gen er ously embarked around him.
What is the secret of this mans
power?
Who believes that if John Mitchell
were seized with 4 lust for Office he
would still hold his place in the esteem
and affection of the laboring people
of the world?
4 few years ago one Terrence V.
PowderIy occupied the place in the
affections OF the laboring people that
IOuu hllCucll uOcS tOddNs
Where is POwderly today and wha
is the secret OF his fall?
He was seized with q lust for office
and securing the coveted prize, i'm
medistely lost the respect and conf
denee Of the lsboring people Of the
United States.
John Mitchell says to office, Get
thee behind me, Satan" and for this
exhibition OF courage holds deep
aud loyal spot in the hearts OF labor
ing people and the Workingmen's
Association.
When 3 man says TO the world that
be has consecrsted himself to the up
lifting of humanity and Immediately
scents Office, begins shaking hands
with the laboring msn, sings praises
Ia the horny handed son of toll, fat
tiers the farmers wife and fondles the
babies, the spectacle is not at all in
spring and the people have no con-
fidence in this mans sincerity.
Those who truly sympathize with
labor sre the John Mitchells, the
Adam Smiths, the Henry Georges,
who devoted their whole lives in
smoothing the pathway of LABOR and
lifting the thoughts and aspirations Of
lsboring men To great snd noble
ideals and not the men who announce
for office and Immediately e loud in
their love for the lsboring man and

To the Editor OF the Ocala Banner
/ notice that the esteemed editor OF
the Pensacola Press says that the
Standard Oil company has never
lowered the prices OF oils but on the
contrary, were it not for the standard
Oil company the price of kerosene oil
would be only five cents per gallon.
But a friend at my elbow informs
me that the editor Of the Pensacola
Press is not noted for his accuracy of
statement.
Vide his attempt 10 exculpate Cen
eral Miles and fix the blame of iron

tations that farmer had TO exchange
eight chickens for one gallon Of oil.
He can now exchange one chicken
for two gallons.
But it doesn't make any difference
whether prices have been raised or
lowered. My point is this: Are the
consumers and producers of y country
benefited by high prices or low
prices?
II the Standard Oil company has
increased the price Of oil, and the
steel trust the price Of steel, and the
cotton combine the price OF cotton.
and the watermelon, csntalOupe and
strawberry pool the price Of said
articles, and the turpentine sssocia-
ton the price Of turpentine, etc. Is it
hurtful or helpful TO the country as d
whole?
Must we fight for higher prices or
lower prices?
II we get high prices for what We
sell should We be willing to pay high
prices for what we buy?
