race since that day has shed his
blood all over this land for the same
cause that he may have at least a
chance to pursue and seek after
happiness, win the right to till the
soil or work wherever he can with
anyone who feels inclined to let him
have n chance to work out his own
plans.
CAUSTIC LANGUAGE.
MIR. Tillman claims that tho Negro
in his opinion has no rights--Dred
Scott like. But Mr.. Tillman speak
ing for his race says that the Negro
knows that he should not ask, for
any rights that tho white man eli.
Joys. For instance Mr., White Man
looks with tho eye OF iust after the
daughter Of some wash-woman Of
the Negro race. She or her father
must submit to the abuse and en-
durc the shame and not raise a voice
or Il hand against this white brute
under penalty OF lynch-law in order
to keep the Negro i'll his place, as he
calls it.
In my opinion there arc many
Potiphar wives and daughters who
lay hold Of Joseph's coat but I am
willing to confess that the Negroes
are not all Josephs, but some are
like persons Of Mr.. Tillman's race.
In looking over the history Of the
Southland find many Ammons, who
caused his half-sister to put on ashes
and rend her clothing.
I have seen in print that the white
men OF the Southland went further
than Amnon, they have compelled
their own daughters, born to them
from the very kind OF person Mr..
Tillman speaks Of. But this being
a white man, probably in Mr.. Till
mans opinion, he Is keeping within
his rights to do as he pleases. She
must submit to his british wishes
and still the father Of his daughter,
born to him from his own daughter
In like manner would have to submit
to his unnatural affections-but he
is white, You know.
TO GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.
Mr.. Tillman thinks the Negro
should go back to Africa or Mexico,
whose people. he tells you are little
better than the American Negro.
When the Negro was in Africa, the
white men brought him to this
country. l have no fault to find with
the white men in the part he played
in that day, but rather look upon it
as part Of Gods plan, that through
it Ethiopia will stretch forth her
hands to God and become blessing
to this people, not a curse.
| read Of one Villa in Mexico that
would probably set up a/government
that the American Negro, would be
welcome, but Villa has been hunted
by the army of the United States to
prevent him from setting up any kind
Of q government. Why? Because
the white men are there and want
it for themselves and like manner in
Africa. So / can see no place for
the American Negro to go but to
stay or remain in America where he
belongs for he has been bought with
blood and has a right to stay not
withstanding Mr.. Tillman and the
injustice toward the American Negro
pcaceablc people, and if let alone
would raise up children to Abraham
after their kind and dwell in the land
that God hitherto has brought them
rs the oak and the walnut trees in
the forest.
WHITE CRIMINALS WITH BLACK
FACES.
Mr.. Tillman did it ever appear to
you that many of the crimes charged
to the Negro Of the Southland were
by some white men who used burnt
cork to put the crime on some Negro?
| have not as yet seen Or read Of the
Negro painting himself white in
order to put his crime on the white
man.
Yours for peace and good will to-
ward all men.
