DEMOCRATS STILL OPPOSE THE AFRO-AMERICANS PROGRESS: Aud are Responsible for all Enactments for the Oppression of Afro Americans From the Fugitive Slave Law to the North Carolina Disfranchisement. When I was set apart to the office of bishop, the then Senior Bishop J. J. Clinton took me aside and told me that it would not be well for me to continue to take an active part in politics. I have tried to follow his advice, but have had sometimes the experience of which Bishop Moore once complained. Some one said that he as a bishop ought not to meddle with politics. The bishop said the trouble was that politics would not let him alone. When politics quit bothering him he would quit bothering with politics. In this year of grace politics seems to have much to do with the bishops. Several have found it necessary to deny the statement that they have become democrats. So far as I know, no public statement to that effect has been made respecting myself. But as I have traveled attending to my Episcopal duties I have learned that a report has been circulated that Bishop Hood has turned democrat. And I have found my people much excited over it. And I do not blame them for the feeling manifested. For the Afro-American who forsakes the interest of his people at this time deserves their contempt. They are not ignorant respecting political conditions, as some profess to think. They understand the situation and know how to vote. Neither are they indifferent, as some would make believe. It is true that large numbers in some sections failed to vote, but it was not the result of indifference, but because they were not permitted to register. There never has been a time in which they were more anxious to vote, and if they had been permitted to do so ninety-nine out of every hundred would have voted against the amendment. The multitudes which are now leaving North Carolina, many of them at a great sacrifice of property, is an indisputable evidence of the widespread discontent. The democratic party is responsible for every enactment for the oppression of the Afro-American, from the passage of the fugitive slave law, the sum of all villainies enacted about 50 years ago, down to the latest act of disfranchisement in North Carolina. It has also opposed in the national congress every measure proposed in the interest of the Afro-American race. With this record in view, how any self-respecting Afro-American can be an honest democrat is a mystery beyond comprehension. No democrat in North Carolina who knows me would believe me sincere if I pretended it. I should lose their respect as well as my own. Besides this, I do my own thinking, and there is not an important plank in the democratic platform to which I could honestly subscribe. I believe in protection to American industry. The tendency of the democratic doctrine is toward free trade, to which I am unalterably opposed. I believe in a dollar worth 100 cents. The tendency of the democratic policy is toward a dollar worth only about 47 cents. I know they claim that by legislation they can make 47 cents' worth of silver equal to 100 cents; but I do not care for a metal dollar which needs that kind of help to make it go. I want the standard of value to rest upon a dollar which stands upon its own merit. The gold dollar is such, and therefore is the universal standard of values. I believe in expansion, which was once a democratic doctrine when an outlet for the extension of slavery was desired; but even in that a falling from grace is now witnessed. I might mention other points of difference, but think this sufficient to show that I could not be an honest democrat, even if I had a grievance against the opposite party—which I have not. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 27.1900. The Republican National Platform. THE NEGRO DISFRANCHISED THE FIRST STEP INTO A NEW SLAVERY CAROLINA BALLOT BOX SENATOR TILLMAN IN CONGRESS-"We do our best to keep every negro in our State from voting" "There is no longer controversy as to the value of any government obligations. The value of any government its assured equivalent, and American credit stands higher than that of any nation. labor is probably occupied and everywhere on Prosperity and the War.

"We renew our allegiance to the principle of the gold standard and declare our commitment to the LYTH congress, by which the parity of all our money and the stability of our security on a gold basis have been secured." "We recognize that interest rates are a potent factor in production and business growth. We recognize that rates of interest we favor such monetary legislation as will enable the varying needs of our economy to be managed to be prompted in order that trade be evenly sustained labor steadily employed and commerce enlarged. The volume of trade we demand is never so great per capita as it is today. "Firm Against Free Silver." "We declare our steadfast opposition to the treasury collation of silver. We measure to the extent that we are endowed which was without the support of the leading commercial countries of the world. We claim that the collation may seem to have secured the country against the perils of base and disarray. We claim that the collapse of a Democratic president could not prevent the country's credit and to bring once more into question the intention of the American government. We standard the parity of their money circulation." "The Democratic party must be convinced that American people will never be denied the right to vote." **Law Laws Against Trends.** "We recognize the necessity and propriety of to meet new business conditions, and especially to extend our rapidly Increased spiracies and combinations intended to restrict business, to create monopolies, to restrict such legislation as will efficiently restrain and prevent all such abuses, protect and promote competition and secure all who are engaged in industry and commerce. **Reciprocity to Aid Labor.** "We renew our faith in the policy of protection to American labor.

Enjoying blessings of American common school, secrecy of the light of self-government and protection in the workplace, markets, their constantly increasing knowledge and skill have enabled them finally to produce goods and services. "We favor the associated policy of reciprocity so directed as to open our markets, the further interest of American workers in the construction of the immigration of cheap labor, foreign lands, the extension of opportunities to children, the raising of the age-limit for child labor, the protection of free labor as an effective system of labor insurance. "Our present dependence upon foreign shipping for nine-tenth of our foreign carriages this country. It is also a serious danger to our trade, for its sudden withdrawal in our possession of European warriors would seriously cripple the national defense and naval efficiency of this country, moreover, supply a common defense to the nation, and enable us to recover our former place among the trade-carrying fleets of the world. For Liberal Pension Laws. "The nation owes a debt of profound gratitude to the soldiers and sailors who have served us in the war and the armaments' duty to provide for the survivors and for the widows and orphans of our country in wars. The pension laws, founded just this sentiment, should be liberal and should be liberally administered and prepared to be carried with respect to employment in the 1 public service to soldiers and sailors and to their widows and orphans. "Service in the Islands," we command the policy of the republican party in maintaining the efficiency of the civil service. The administration has the power to require public service in Cuba, Porto, Puerto Rico and the Philippine islands only those whose fitness has been determined by the commission. Employment in the public service in these territories should be confined as far as practical to the states. "Minimum restriction" the Ballot. "It was the plain purpose of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution to prevent discrimination on account of race or color in the public service of state government, whether by statutory or constitutional enactment, to avoid discrimination and should be implemented are revolutionary and should be approved, and we recommend this subject to the earnest consideration of the people of the legislatures of the several states. "We favor the extension of the rural force to serve wherever its extension may be justified. "Arid Lands and New States. "In further pursuance to the constant policy of the republican party to provide freezes, the public domain, we recommend adequate funding to claim the arid lands of the United States, reserving control of the distribution of water to the respective states and territories. "We favor nome sure for and the early authorization of stochood territories of New Mexico and Oklahoma. "Reduction in War Taxes. "The Dingley act, amended to provide sufficient revenue for the conduct of the war, will work that it has been possible to reduce the tax in the sum of $40,000,000. So ample are the government's revenues and so great is the importance of the integration of its obligations, that its ED RY INA negro in our State from voting* per cent bonds sell at a pre- mium.

"We favor the construction, ownership, control and protection of an Ishmian canal by the government of the United States. For the increasing surplus of our farm produce. Every effort should be made to open and obtain new markets, especially in the country.

Americans to Be Protected. "The American government must protect the person and property of every citizen who are wrongly violated or placed in peril. "We congratulate the women of America upon their splendid record of public service as nurses in camp and hospital during the recent campaigns of our armies in the war against the Nazis, and we appreciate their faithful co-operation in all works of education and industry.

DEMOCRATS STILL OPPOSE THE AFRO-AMERICANS PROGRESS. And are Responsible for all Enactments for, the Oppression of Afro-Americans From the Fugitive Slave Law to the North Carolinas Disfranchisement. I do not care to deal in personalities, hence I need not to say much about candidates. But I may remark that I have seen nothing to change my very high opinion of President McKinley. He has certainly done as well by my people as any president we have ever had. Much better than some who have been held in higher esteem by leaders of the Afro-American race. In my opinion, he has done more for the material development of the nation than any president we have had since the foundation of the government. Perhaps it may be said that he has had a better opportunity than any. Admitting that, it still remains that he has been fully equal to his great opportunity. Even his opponents praise his Chinese policy. But how could he have had a hand in that important matter if he had scuttled out of the Philippine islands, as some claim he should have done? I think it must be admitted that the delegations of the powers of the world at Peking owe their salvation to the wisdom of McKinley. And without the base of operations he had in the east he would have been powerless, and could only have viewed with horror a fearful tragedy at a great distance. This nation enjoys a respect among the nations it had never enjoyed before. If a great international war is averted at this time the credit will be due to McKinley more than any other man on earth. And it seems to me that all who have any interest in the nation's credit, welfare or destiny must support him now. The great battle between Christianity and heathenism seems to be approaching, and the Christian powers will do well to be careful in the selection of their standard bearers. The race question will dwindle into insignificance inside of a hundred years. The Afro-American will be called for by and by to stand with his white brother in the contest which is to open the way for Christian civilization in all lands. Then— "We shall know each other better, When the mists have rolled away." J. W. HOOD. (Benior Bishop A. M. E. Zion Church, with 500,000 Members.) NATIONAL REPUBLICAN PLATFORM (Continued from Fifth Column.) "We commend the part taken by our government in the peace conference at The Hague, which we have been obliged to the policy announced in the Monroe doctrine. The provisions of the Hague convention were wisely regarded when President Roosevelt announced the policy in the interest of peace between Great Britain and the South African Republic. We affirm that the policy prescribed by Washington, affirmed by every succeeding government, and imposed by every succeeding government, of intervention in European territory, of the American people earnestly hope that a way may soon be found, honorable alike to the American people, to terminate the strife between them. "In accepting by the treaties of peace the just responsibility of our victories in the Spanish war the president and the senate won the undoubted approval of the Amor de la Independencia, and more than to destroy Spain's sovereignty throughout the West Indies and in the Caribbean, the honorary duty of our responsibility before the world, and with the unorganized population whom our intervention had freed from Spain, to prosecute and for the establishment of good government, and for the performance of international justice and to confer the power to be less than our responsibility, and wherever sovereign rights were extended it became the high duty of the government to insure and to confer the blessings of liberty and civilization upon all the rescued people, and to confer the government consistent with their welfare and our duties shall be secured to them by law. To Cuba independence and self-government were assured in the same voice by which war was declared, and to the letter this pledge shall be performed.

George Smith, an Afro-American of Indianapolis, said to be 105 years old, declares that he will vote for McKinley. The 34 Afro-Americans who are employed in the Savannah (Ga.) post office draw salaries amounting to $34,940 per annum. The southern democrats always dominate in the national democracy. Pitchfork Tillman would rule in case of Bryan's election. The democrats of the south say that the Afro-American is all right—in his place. They assume the right to designate the place. PETER H. JOSEPH G. MILLER, For Railroad and Warehouse Commissitor. From all quarters comes the democratic shriek of "fraud." It is the old cry of "Stop thief!" uttered by the thief himself to throw the people off their guard. Twenty-eight millions of dollars is a great sum. That's what the Afro-Americans who hold government positions have drawn during the administration of President McKinley. Bryan with his Chinese tactics has been running around the country making a big noise and deluding himself with the thought that he is convincing people to vote for free silver. In the office of the collector of customs at Chicago, there are eight Afro-Americans, at an aggregate compensation of $7,087 per annum. The number on the pay roll is greater than at any previous time. The democratic party has never had any fixed principles or policies. It has ever been the blind instrument of every bad element that might for the time being be uppermost or seem to promise party success.

Bryanism pure and simple is the paramount issue, and that means Tillmanism, Altgeldism, free silverism, anarchism and all the other deadlyisms which threaten the very existence of the republic. The democrat of the south say that the Afro-American is unfit to travel in first-class cars and they have passed laws providing special "Jim Crow" cars for his accommodation.

Appreciating the superior services of the Afro-American troops in the recent war with Spain, President McKinley decided to increase the number of regiments in the regular army, and on the 8th of September, 1899, issued an order for the organization of two new regiments of infantry, to be [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit].

With the possibility that some of the present justices may be retired and their places filled by such men as Altgeld and Tillman it is easy to infer what decision would be reached. Trusts, corporations and syndicates are not necessarily dishonest or injurious. Building associations managed and controlled by bona fide members are good things and benefit the members, assisting them to get homes and become good citizens.

The president's lesson to the Afro-Americans: When President McKinley appointed the late ex-Senator Bruce to the position of register of the treasury considerable surprise was felt that he should select an Afro-American to fill so important a position. One day a friend asked him what his reasons were for appointing Bruce. "I have two," replied the president. "The first is the man's fitness for the position. The second is that Bruce's name will appear on every bank bill that will be issued by the government while he is in office, and every Afro-American who gets one of the notes can read on it the name of a man of his own race and see in it the lesson that, with economy, industry, honesty and ambition, this government will recognize him the same as it does men of a lighter color of skin." —Ladies' Home Journal. Former Senator Butler, of South Carolina, says there are no gentlemen in politics. That is probably true in the Tar Heel sense. Specimens like Tillman, who are seat up north to do democratic campaign work, are certainly not very gentlemanly in their manners. [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit].

Every Employee of the Administration Held Up and Made to Contribute a Portion of His Salary to Further the Interests of the Worst Political Ring Ever Known in the West. The Democratic State Committee has been pouring out money like water in the present campaign. Where does it come from? The letter printed below tells the story. Directly, it would seem to come from the office-holders under the Lind-Rosing machine; primarily it comes from the tax-payers and shows why every department of the present administration has been run at a much greater expense than under republican control.

When interviewed about the election in Hawaii, he said: An election in that country is something of a novelty, but the people are learning rapidly. When I left, a week ago Thursday about 6,000 of them were registered, and there was a prospect of many more of them registering in Honolulu. It is not difficult for a man to become a citizen there; all that is required is five hours of evidence and two men to swear to the state. The parties there have the same name these here, but that is all they have in common. The most of the candidates for office in the island are natives, who have no idea what the parties stand for in this country. The candidate for delegate to Congress, is of course, an American. The issues there are not closely defined. The Republican party is spoken of as being in favor of progress and the Democrats are simply an opposition party. A question of contention between the two candidates. From what I can tell the Democrats will win out, although the fight will close.

Pursuant to section three hundred and eleven (311) of the General Statutes of 1894, the constitution of State of Minnesota, as adopted by Act of the Legislature for 1895, for submission to the constitution, is held on Tuesday, the sixth (6th) day of November, A. D. nineteen hundred (1900), is herewith submitted: ALBERT BERG, Secretary of State. STATE OF MINNESOTA. Attorney General of State, St. Paul 3, 1900. Hon. Albert Berg, Secretary of State. Pursuant to chapter 157 of the General Laws of 1887, I herewith file in your office synopsis of Amendment to the Constitution, as proposed by chapter 92 of the General Laws of 1889. I am very respectfully, SYNOPSIS OF AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN PURCHASED THE LEGISLATURE OF THE SAID STATE AT THE LAST SESSION THEREFORE, AND TO BE VOTED DURING AT THE GENERAL ELECTION TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 6TH, 1900. By General Laws 1800, Chapter 92, it is proposed to amend Article eight (5), Section six (6) of the Constitution. The section as now existing reads as follows: Section 6. The permanent school and university fund of this state may be in county, school district, city, town or village of this state, but no such investment of the state may be made by commissioners designated by law to regulate the investment of the permanent university fund of this state. The permanent university investment be made when the issue of, which the same in part would make the county, is made, or the percentage of the assessed valuation of the taxable real property of the county, such bonds; or shall such loans or indebtedness be made at a lower rate of interest for shorter period than five (50) years, nor for a longer period than twenty (20) years, and no change of the town, county, or school district, which shall relieve the real property in such town, school district, county, village or county, of such bonds from any liability of such bonds from any liability for taxation to pay such bonds. It is proposed by said chapter to amend the same so as to read as follows: The effect of the above amendment if adopted will be to authorize the investment of the permanent school and university fund of this state for a period of ten years (4) or twenty (20) years at an interest rate not less than three (3) per cent per annum, in the bonds of any county, school district, city, town or village of this state, when the entire bonded indebtedness of such municipalities exceed fifteen (15) per cent of the assessed valuation of the taxable real property contained therein. The substantial change proposed by said amendment is to authorize such investments when the entire indebtedness, including the loan in question, does not exceed fifteen (15) per cent of the assessed valuation of such municipalities; whereas, under the existing constitution loans are permitted only where such total indebtedness does not exceed seven (7) per cent of the assessed valuation.

Deep down in their hearts the Democrats know that they can not win in Illinois, but they must make some sort of a bluff. Be sure to make a vigorous fight for the Republican candidates for congress in every district where there is a possible chance of election. A Republican congress is needed to uphold the president. The wage earner who works a full day is entitled to full pay in honest money for his toil. A 50-cent dollar is not honest money, and Bryan knows it. American honor is involved in the question of the American dollar. Both must be preserved unattainted. If you wish your wife and little ones at home to continue happy and contented, vote for McKinley. ST. PAUL. MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND LODGE OF MINNESOPA, A. F. AND A. M. JOHN N.
