We must all admit, have been definitely
decided to the now almost universal
satisfaction. Tho main question is In a
moro aggravated condition than ever,
and Is daily growing moro so. Pauper-
ism, crime, slothfulness, general lack OF
ethical feeling Is the natural result Of
the Unrestricted liberty and spurious
equality OF a race that needs the supcr-
Vision and dictatione of IL superior race
to even relatively conform toAthc con-
ditlons of civilization. This view Of tho
status of TINT race must DO generally

South and the only illustrations of argu.
lncnts against that view are thearesults
OF that aboninatlon before God,
mlscegenation, where the attributes OF
the superior race are presented to It in
q modified form as an evidence Of the
capabllty of an inferior race, a plain
case or false pretenses.

He knows The truth and has no reason
to fear to proclaim It. Tho Democratic
