Public Opinion Throughout the Union

that the negro women are now feed
ing out of your kitchens. And when
all this takes place there is going to
be fewer jobs than hands, and as
they must work or starve, they will
beg you for a job instead of you beg
ging them to work for you. Then
wages will be cut to where they can
make only enough to live off of each
day they work, which will naturally
force them to work every day. And
when this is done the negro ques-
ton will be thing of the past. And
they will then have to quit sending
their kids to public schools at the
expense of white people, And when
we prevent them getting book ed''-
as we'll as to ourselves. An educat-
ed negro compares favorably with
an educated billy goat. Both are a
nuisance.
Treat the negro right in every par
ticular. But stop right there.

know the truth about Mexico.
cit is said that if the iron hand of
Diaz weakens, the state of affairs
will be worse than Cuba in '97. We
should not sit in ignorance, for we
may have to step on the fuse. The
facts force their way to the light
here and there. We have had init
nations and knowledge of the true
inwardness of Mexico from many
sources
GA great business man told us
that we would find conditions worse
than in Russia. A banker of Next
co disclosed remarkable personal ex-
perience. A foreign journalist gave
us sidelights of curious import. A
manufacturer suggested a study of
graft in Mexico. There is surely
spreading notion that something is
wrong in Mexico

fore? Diaz controls ali sources of

it. Papers are suppressed or subsi-

FORTUNATE FOREIGNERS.

"The money collected by benevo-
lent persons in the United States for
foreign missions runs yearly into
millions of dollars, but it is a mere
pittance in comparison with the dis
count made to foreigners who buy
our protected wares. We sell them
tools from 20 to 100 per cent. less
than the prices exacted from home
purchasers. Saws are sold for export
at 40 per cent. reduction from do
nestle rates We put the screw to
home buyers of screws by asking
them 100 per cent. more than the
export price. And so it goes through
the whole range of protected man
ufactures Of course the American
consumer should, in fairness, pay no
more for what he buys than is de-
manded of outside consumers; but
he can not help himself. He stag
gers along as best he can under the
weight of tariff exactions imposed by
act of Congress for the sole benefit
of the favored interests. "-Philadel-

PROTECTION OF WOMEN.

Little Joe Brown of Georgia." as
he is affectionately dubbed, seems to

Tom Watson says of him, in the
Jeffersonian: THANK God, we have
found a man at last"
But perhaps the best feature of the
case that has called forth this sweep
ing commentator of Governor Brown
lies in the fact that the position taken
by him means the protection of help
less women. In this Georgia has
taken the initiative, and it is devoutly
to be hoped all Southern States will
fall calamity in her lead.-Will Allen

BARBARISM IN MEXICO.
Investigator Declares it Has
It's Siberias and Spy System.

Under the caption, "Barbarous
Mexico the American Magazine for
October presents a striking article.
The author, John Kenneth Turner,
bases his statements on personal OBJ
servation of conditions in nearly every
part of Mexico.
"Mr. Turner" says the editorial
introduction, has penetrated into
regions such as the terrible Vale
Nacional, where slavery in it's worst
form is found. He has gathered his
information from important business
men and politicians, often when they
were unaware of the nature of his
mission.

some sense a republic, and not, as
find it, government more abso-
lutte and autocratic than Russia. 1t
has it's Siberias, in the hot lands of
the south; it's spy system, it's con-
formations for political offenses,
and it's terrible prisons. The consti-
tuition is a dead document 1t is a
government of the few for the few,
with a big standing army to back
them

THE NEGRO QUESTION.


the negro question to offer the ig-
norant public, and Fuss" is no ex-
ception to the rule:
The negro is an IMITATOR. He
is an imitation of the human being,
just as the ape is an imitation of
the negro. In Africa he acts natural
ly. In the United States he tries to
initiate the white people.
The negro is what the white peo-
pie make him. When he does some
thing here that he does not do in AT
RIGA it is a trick picked up from us
white people.
So long as we continue to hang
Coca-Cola Ladies'" in public places
for Bro. Sambo to gaze upon, so long
we may expect for certain hellish
crimes to be enacted by the "beasts
of the fields
So long as we continue to talk i'm
morality in the hearing of the negro,
just SO long we may expect him to
play the act.
So long as we continue to sell
goods to the negro on credit just so
long we may expect to be unable to
control him in any way
Human beings use reason in all
things. Beasts have no reasoning
power. This is why hanging Sambo
sto the crooked trees in our land does
got deter him from repeating his
crimes.
If your old ram jumps the fence
in the presence of your billy goat
the billies will imm ediatelly try to
initiate the old ram And if you
shoot one of the dear billies as an
object-lesson to the balance as to
what they may expect if they do the
same thing, it has just the same eff
feet upon them that hanging Sambo
has upon the balance of his species.
Quit displaying immoral pictures
and other things of like nature in the
presence of the negro. Mind how
you talk in his presence. Never ar
que with him. Do not sell him pis-
tolls and other things he should not
have. Do not sell him anything on
credit nor loan him anything, and
you will thus throw him on his own
resources, and when you do this you
will see Bro. Sambo and his "cullud
ladies' go to work When you get
them strung out at work you will
see signs of contentment and happi-
ness growing among them, and worry
on the part of the whites will die
away, and crimes by the negro will
be few and far between.
The white women can do big
part in solving the NEGRO question"
by doing all their own cooking and
other household work. 1t will force
the negro woman to go to the fields,
where nature intended them for, and
this will also force millions of big,
black, greasy bucks to go to work
