ter that Colored Americans cannot
afford to support the principles
of the Democratic party, no mat
ter what the inducements of that
party may be.
But have any inducements been
made to Colored Americans?
Mr.. Bryan declares that he will
be compelled to support the plat
form of his party. II that be true,
then wherever the Democratic
party gets control, the rights OF
.Colored Americans will be a
bridged. Colored men should see
this without being warned.
1t is an evident fact that color
eC men cannot afford t. throw
away the opportunities that were
given to them by the Republican
party. 1t is argued that the Rep
ublican party sat quietly by and
allowed the political rights of Col
ored Americans to be taken from
them. and for that reason they
must support Mr.. Bryan.
Well, would it be consistent
with fair play to support the party
of abstraction, abridgement, and
oppression, or the alleged party
that remains passive, or apparent
ly passive?
In other words, ought Colored
Americans to support the Dem
ocratic party which has never had
any love for them, or the party
which placed in their hands a
weapon of defense? The ballot
was given to the Colored Ameri-
cans by the Republican party; IS
# consistent with reason for color
ed men to support the party which
denies and takes from Colored
Americans their civil and political
rights?
The great trouble with certain
colored men, is that they are IN
sensible as to what is right and
proper to advise.
Whatever the faults of the
President may be, he has never as
vet advocated the disfranchlse-
ment of Colored Americans: and
so far as the Brownsville incident
is concerned, Secretary Taft had
no more to do with the dismissal
Of the colored troops than any
other American citizen.
The Bees advice to Colored
Americans is not to be deceived by
false gods and false doctrines.
