vocated by the negro and Caucasian speakers at this
oathsome New York dinner is nothing less than
the revival of the preachmen OF such rabd abotonsts
Henry Ward Beecher Theodore Tilton, VIM. Lloyd Gar
rson and the other ncendares who fired the torch OF Civil
War
AS we took pains to demonstrate in the book Bethany,
the Southern leaders who took the Confederate States out
Of the Union we're able do because the Aboitonsts
only preaching Emancipation but Social Equality
and Mscegenaon.
Almost the identical words uttered by Hamilton Holt
editor Of the N Y IndependenKa the Cosmopolitan ban
quet were used by Henry Ward Beecher, before the Civil
War, and quoted in Bethany,
The horrible doctrine that the black skin would gradual
y become white by the ntermarrage Of the
OF Beechers monomanacal conceptions
That has cropped again is not strange; that it
should excite as much disgust in New York in any
Southern City is glorious vndicaon Of the Old South
the old hate-strickan. warworn South.
For the right OF the state to regulate its domestic
AFFAIRS for Home Rule in its highest and best sense; for
the integrity and the purity OF The superior the South
has stood has fought has seemed to ose but has finally
won.
We scornthe white har6ts- -aheart who pretend to seek
lifting Of the world through the prostitution Of the
OF the superior race
We scorn the white degenerates who dishonor their
white mothers and sisters by advocating the foul doctrine
that the her race lift the lower by taking the lower
plane itself!
Such theories are the offspring Of diseased brains,
bid broodngs dsempered sectionalism. Such white
as attended the Cosmopolitan banquet deserve mig
ger lovers and husbands
Such white men as attended deserve niger msresses
and wives.
If we could hudd!e that unclean bunch Of Freaks COM
mens ON Watson, and put them OFT island to them
Selves where their filthy example would inject other
imbecles we should be more than willing that all Of these
white and women should have just much niger
as they want.

This stupid talk has demorazed more men than any
thing in the real condition Of affairs.
You can work Just hard right now and accomplish
just much
Before you know it you going to see all American
values soaring up again the pendulum swings back
Then going to that you did not let
else do the talking while you we're quietly doing the buy
ing on depressed market
The ann and animus Of the big manpuators who brought
the fright partly political and partly for selEen-
richment
They must remember however that in checking the vast
machine Of creative energy represented by the ong mill
lions Of America they did Just like the small boy who dams
flowing stream The water rises and rises and finally
the boy cannot build his dam high or strong enoughto re-
strain the swollen waters
just so here and now. Every idle man today repre-
sents much consumption Of clothes and food and drink
and creaveness on his part Depression depetes and
when certain point reached the depletion must BE over
come That means exceedingly active times boom times
Look back into the facts Of the past and if this has
not been invariably SO.
Actual prosperity we have, in lavish abundance. A
normal mind we, as people Just now, have not But
that coming, and with normal prosperity with all this
delayed prosperity added. Watch this prophecy.

Germany will soon have new coin Of the value Of .
quarter mark or Is penngs In order distinguish the
new piece readily from the 20pfennq coin in use
Coins with hole through the center still in crcua-
ton in China and Japan but their introduction object
ed to BY some Of artists in Germany the ground that the
perforated coin belonged to past age. In answer to
this argument the West Spegel publishes the pictures Of
perforated coins which were recently made in England for
circulation in an East African English colony, and hu-
morist in Hamburg paper says: Give US the coins
with holes in them BY all means We can string them
like beads and tie them up and hold hem process which
seems to be beyond accomplishment in connection with
