ing of freight and passenger tariffs on the op-
pressive principle of "all that the traffic will
bear
The greatest shame is, that so many South
ern and Western lawyers and politicians are
willing to enlist under the banners of the
North to raid the fields and towns of the South
and West The Yankees hire our own men to
fight us.
During the cruel Civil War; the North hired
tens of thousands of foreigners to fight us.
There is no need to draw from Europe now.
Apparently, the rich Yankee corporations can
hire one-half the South to rob the other half
Southern judges are found who prostitute their
powers to the evil purposes of Northern Cor
poratjons
Some of these Southern Congressman were
such faithful States Rights men that, in Con-
gress, they voted against the regulation of
railroad rates by the Federal Government; vet
when they came home they sued out Injunc-
tions against their own mother-states to pre-
vent the states from regulating these same
rates.
All, the disgrace of it! They sell out to the
Yankees and aid them in robbing their own
people-could degradation sink deeper?
How long are the people of the South and
West going to submit?
How many more Governors are going to
have their Sovereign States reduced to impo-
tence by RENEGADES, CORRUPTION
lists, AND JUDICIAL USURPERS?
The question is vital, and the issue is upon
us.
Most people-whether white, black, brown
or yellow-abhor foreign rule. Most men
would rather die than submit to it.
We of the South used to be proud, brave.
Independent; but today we bend slavish1y be-
meath the yoke that the North has fastened
upon Our necks.
Why is this so?
Because the foreign tyranny is disguised
Southern men seem to be in control of all
these robber corporations and the people gen
orally do not know the actual fact that it is
by the use of these fgure-head Southern rem
egades that the Yankee corporations are plum
dering the Southern States, every year, of
more wealth than was taken from us by the
marauding hordes of Sherman, Stoneman, and
Sheridan.
HOW LONG WILL WE SUBMIT TO
1T?
