The Christian Index at Washington,
Georgia.
Later, when his endowment enabled Mercer

tunty to poor young men, the Index was
moved to Penfeld.
In after years, it went to Atlanta; and,
like good many other things that 90 to the
large cities, it rather lost touch with the com
mon people.
Of late, the Index has been suffering from
TOO much Bell and Graham, too much Smith
and Wllllngham, too much ecclesiastical dry
rot.
1t is the hidebound mouthpiece of the gov
ernlng Junta in the Southern Baptist Con
vention.
1t is the super servceable donkey Of the
Foreign Mission Board, at Richmond, Vir-
ginia.
1t will publish any false statement issued
from Richmond, and it will not allow any
other Baptist to prove that the statement is
false
1t will publish any deceptive statement
from the Foreign missionaries and will not
permit any other foreign missionary to prove
that the statement is deceptive
These are grave accusations, but I stand
ready to establish them.

Jesse Mercer did not give his money to

Jesse Mercer did not turn his back on the

race.
He did not agonize with abdominal pains
because the Japs and the Chinks and the
Hindoos and the Turks did not have another
American college.
He did not make an endowment for a
gilded university on the Sea of Marmora,
amid the balmy odors and breezes of the Lee

tend to be educating young Turks, and chang
ing their Crescents into Crosses.
a Jesse Mercer was man of sound heart and
sound mind, and no bugs had got into his

He did not call on the Baptists of Georgia

orphan homes for little niggers in Africa,
and little Chinks in China.

Nearly every other church paper in the

Before the Civil War, we had no paupars,
no unemployed, and no host Of milIionaires.
BY manipulating the national finances dur

system, of legalized Special Privilege, those
millionaires enormously increased their own
millions. and added thousands Of other bene-
fclares of class-legslation to The list of mil
lionaires.
These pets Of Special Privilege pay practi-
cally no Federal taxes-and mighty little of
any other sort
Their annual net incomes are not less than

When the Democratic Congress had spent
more than thousand million dollars year
for two years, and had loaned out to the
favored bankers all the money that Congress
hadn't squandered, they looked around for
somebody else to tax.
Did they tax the untaxed pluj0crats whose
fortunes were made by the laws which enable
them to rob American consumers in a
monopolized market?
Not at all.
The subject was mentioned but our Rich
Mans President said it would never do to
increase that thirty -million-dollar burden

In Great Britain, there was actual need of

How did the British statesmen 90 about
raising the money?
Did any Wilson, or Underwood, or 1IcAdoo
insist upon heavier taxes upon the poor mans

or mortgage, or deed, or telegram?
No: the English statesmen propose to get
