nted in the south, over $32,
000,000 of our money goes
North every j-enr from the
hard earnings of our people,
and very little in return for
nil this. While the North re
ceives all themoney for pen
sions, the South has to pay
about one third of the vast
amount every year. How
long will republicans of the
South vote to keep the
present extravagant and cor
rupt party in power?
No wonder the farmers of
the country are organizing
against the present corrupt
legislation. Why is every ncal
awag camp follower of the
late war, put on the pension
roll? Simply thai he will
hereafter vote the rf publican
t icket and keep the ra d icnls in
power.
If there is not a check on
thismnd and reckless expendi
tures of the peoples money,
we will soon be ruined.
Jl CTN'TERAlIZED government.
The Repnplican leaders of
Congress are driving toward
centralization Speaker Heed's
ruling in Congress was first
brought to the front by a
Caucus of the Bosses, and
was put in motion by a strict
party vote. These Bosses
are able, so far, to whip into
line every member of Con
gress, and with great unan
imity they pass every bill in
the interest of the party.
Thy minority have no re
spect shown them nnd have
no power to check the extrava
gance of appropriations,
pension bills eet. The Presi
dent is controled by the Bos
ses. In a few days more in
all probability, Congress will
pass the election bill which
will give Congress the sole
rtgl t to hold election in the
Southern State?, completely
ignoring State authority in
this matter. v
Speaker Reed nays:
'We
must have our own Registra
tion." "Ouro-vn counting."
"Our own certification."
This means that the republi
can Congress will pass the
Hoar bill, or Sherman bill
or Lodge bill, one or the
other, giving the Rep. Presi
dent the power to appoint
supervisors to hoid the elect
ions for Congress-men allover
the South. They have an
other scheme on footin taken
the census m next month,
that is to undereount the ne
groes of the South, so as to
reduce the population of the
various negro districts in or
der that the South will lose
18 or 20 Congress members,
and the same number of pres
idential electors. This is Mr.
Quay's plan. Heclaimsthat
