If the last congress had done
nothing in the way of tariff reform
but t© impose the income tax and
repeal the McKinley sugar bounty,
it would have done enough to com¬
mend it to the South.
•“Brudder” Banner’s pure soul
turns sick at its.stomach when you
talk of mixed schools, but mixed
conventions are another thing; of
course they are. One is “social
equality;” the other, equal socia¬
bility.
TnAT is a remarkable bill that
it is proposed to introduce into the
next congress, providing for arbi¬
tration between employer and em¬
ployees, where both parties con¬
sent. If they were willing to arbi¬
tration, of course the law would
not be needed, and if not, it would
do no good. There are some smart
people yet alive.
Lecturer H. L. Smith announc¬
ed in the Banner that during the
month of July he would try to fill
an appointment in each county in
the First Congressional District,
and the public generally hoped
that bis campaign would be over
before Christmas. But as the no¬
tice is kept before the readei s of
that interesting and newsy sheet,
it is supposed that Mr. (Smith
probably bad reference to some Ju¬
ly in the distant future.

It is simply amusing to observe
the e'fforts put forth by the Ban¬
ner in Jts attempts to smooth over
Judge Hines’s remarks in regard
to the colored race. Our catacor
nered neighbor has made the won¬
derful discovery that when the
Judge said “a negro is a brute/’ he
meant some particular negro. Sup¬
pose the Judge had said, “a negro
has kinky hair: the Banner’s idea
would then be that some certain
negro has hair different from his
race. Don’t you all know that’s
what it would have understood 2
-
DANGEROUS LEADERS.
In the batch of rot contributed
to the Banner recently by the
“Brown’s Chapel ^Colored Club,”
we find this; “Colored men, don’t
we know that the democrats car¬
ried on one of the bloodiest wars
that the world ever knew in order
that we should be slaves forever to
them and their children?
we know that just behind the dem¬
screen has been lurking a
hidden enemy to our freedom as a
race?”
The colored man that knows
anything at all about the war
knows that it was not prosecuted
in the interest of his race, and
that to the democrats of the
United States quite as much as
to the republicans he is indebted
for his freedom. If he does not,
he ought to know, that the Fed¬
eral army was not composed of re¬
publicans, but of democrats as
well; and that the great generals
who commanded the Federal forces
were not always republicans,
often democrats. As illustrations,
Gen. George B. McClellan was
democratic nominee for the presi¬
dency in 1864, while he was
ing for the preservation of
Union ; and Gen. Grant, himself,
was a democrat until after the
olose of the war. On the
hand, many who fought iu
Confederate army were not
crats, and some of the famous
federates have become republicans
since the war; as for
Gen. Longstreet and Gen. Mahone.
Therefore, the “Brown’s
Colored Club” errs when it
to rob democrats, as
of the loyal part which they
in the maintenance of the
We are conversant with the
that, for partisan purposes, the col¬
ored people were taught,
ately after the war, that they
indebted to the republican
for their emancipation, and
the democrats would seek to
slave them: but they have
since learned the falsity of such
teaching, and. have come to
that southern democrats, “the men
who have grown up with them
best uuderstanl their
and their dispositions, are freely the
ties that they can most
confidently lely upon to
to their wants.
It is perfectly absurd that
should rise up now and say
after trying southern democrats
for thirty years, they find
they are making the condition
the colored people worse than when
they were slaves.
Who has contributed the money
for the education of the
people in the South but the demo¬
crats? Who but the democrats
have enabled the colored people
Georgia to accumulate lands and
houses? How did they pay for
all these things, if the democrats
have heen robbing them of their
labor? Who but Georgia demo¬
crats have assisted the negroes of
this section in building school
houses and churches all over the
county?
It makes us sick aud disgusts us
when we recollect how taxes have
been wrung out of us by law, en¬
acted by democratic legislators;
how we have responded to the ap¬
peals of our churches; how we have
voluntarily dived down to the very the
bottom of our pocket, all for
sake of educating and refining the
colered citizens, and then have him
turn upon us at the dictation
some centemptible demagogue and
tell us that he doesn't need to be
told that we are his enemy.
n th. democrat is the colored
man s enemv, where is he going
now to find a friend? He says
he’ll go to the people’s party. Oh,

“ALMOST ALWAYS RIGHT.”
President Cleveland did not put
his signature to the new tariff bill.
His friends went to him with all
their powers of persuasion, and
pleaded with him to do so; but it
was no use. They told him how
pleased they would be to be per¬
mitted to go out to their constitu¬
ents and say to them that -the
President signified his satisfaction
with the bill by approving it, and
tried to convince him that some¬
body’s re-election to congress per¬
haps hinged upon the treatment
that the bill should receive at his
hands; buthe wouldn’t touch it.
It was not what had been promis¬
ed the people in the way of tariff
reform, and the greatest responsi¬
bility which he chose to bear in
regard to it was to allow it to go
on the statute books without his
indorsement.
Some think that the President
should have yielded a point in this
instance, and that when the ma¬
jority of his party in both houses
settled upon the extent of tariff re¬
form that was to be
the proper thing for him to
done was to say ‘ me too.”
Mr. Cleveland has never yet been
accused of being one of these
too” pieces of machinery, and
clearly will never merit that
pellation. He still has a head
his own, and he persists in
his own thinking.
Some of those who have
denied the privilege of
Mr. Cleveland in the responsible
duty of thinking for the people
the United Stetes have said
lie is “b'ull-headed.” Of course
generally find that a man is
born who does not yield to
views, and especially when
have convinced him that it
be good policy to do so. We are
very considerate, indeed, if we fail
to brand as a fool the individual
who refuses to yield to the argu¬
ment of expediency So there are
some who regard Mr. Cleveland as
both stubborn and foolish in Ibe
persistence with which he refused
to shoulder th«f“ : J ,1 ~

But Col. Lester says of
ident’s action: “1 don’t
but what he is right; he is almost
always right. T.ie bill does jhot
carry out hts .dear, and after the
pronounced position which he ha4
taken he could bill hardly his mdoraement.tf- be expected
to give the
And that is the proper view to
take in the case. If the President
has been right in the
which he has occupied on the tar¬
iff revision question, there is no
earthly reason why he should ex¬
press satisfaction with any haM
way measure. It is to him that
the country appealed for tariff re¬
form In the election of J892, and
it is upon his patriotism and “bull
headedness,” if you please to call it
so, that the people may rely for a
fulfillment of the pledges made in
that campaign.

PREPARING FOR 1896.
Presidential candidates for 189G
are already being talked of in a
business like way. It is possible
that Wilson may be the leader of
the democrats and Morton of the
republicans.
It is credited to Speaker Crisp
that he said “the man who can lead
the most successful fight against
monopolies and trusts for the next
two years will be the successor of
Grover Cleveland.” Whether this
came from Speaker Crisp or not, it
has a true ring of prophecy about
it, and it sounds like his senti¬
ments. His chairman of the ways
and means committee (Mr. Wii9on )
nas spoken in unmistakable terms
in this spirit, and he has announc¬
ed his intentions to continue his
elforts which were baffled by the
Senate during the last session to
disembowel the power of capital.
In his last speech upon his renom¬
ination he dismissed the republi¬
can party in this scornful manner:
“If we have anywhere uncovered
a trust and found it too strong for
complete dislodgment in the first
attempt, we have never failed to
find the republicans sturdily and
solidly arrayed for its defence.
This is the cry that his advocates
in vVest Virginia will send ringing
around the country. West Virnin
ia has coined the expression “Wil
sonism is contradistinction to Gor
manism.”
This is the line on which Wil¬
son’s friends intend to make his
fight for a place on the presiden¬
tial ticket.
, Morton now has the gubernato¬
rial nomination of New York re¬
publicans in his hands. Should
he carry the empire state and de¬
feat Flower, he will be a very like
l^candidate for the presidential
nomination. Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts, said the other day:
“Should Morton carry New York
there is nothing which can defeat
him for the presidential nomina¬
tion, for they will depend upon
him to keep that state in line.”

♦
The Income Tax.
Discussion of the new tariff bill has
been turned upon two or three features of
jt almost to the exclusion of the income
tax which it imposes. Y'et, as a matter
of fact, the imposition of this tax marks
a wider departure from thi! policy which
has heretofore obtained than any otlur
ieature of the law. During the stress of
war, when the government was raising
money in every possible way, an income
tax was levied, but it was abolished nt
the earliest possible moment. From the
beginning it may be said to have been
the policy of the federal government to
fax pnly consumption and not to tax
property, leaving the latter as the source
from which states and municipalities
may derive their revenue. The general
government’s income has ooine from
on liquors, tobacco, etc., with slight ad
^jitjops from sales of land,
