THE FORCE BILL. A MI''K"" Vlw of Whnt It Mann to Tim ttctmblican national platform, In jftnSin(fo very mild and guarded, bnt in langwitf0 plain enongnro re unaerstooa .cnnliiiH to tlio real moaning of it. de mantis that "such laws shnll bo enacted and enforced as win secure to very cm fpn, bo lie rich or poor, native or foreign born, whit or black, the sovereign right fto vote! guaranteed ny the conntita ion." Laying aside tho fact that the constitution does not guarantee to any of the classes mentioned nor to any other iOhrxis the right to vote, the real mean big of this plank is the doctrine that the arrathern states of this Union shall go back to the days or reconstruction, when the negro took possession of our southern empire Just ns the barbarians took pos session of the Roman empire. When the war closed a "force bill" was passed br virtue of which the federal govern roont guaranteed that "every citizen of the United States," to quo to thelangungo of the latest Republican platform, "shall be allowed to cast one free and unre stricted ballot in all publio elections." This language is as innocent in form an would be a section from the sermon on the mount, bnt it means much mischief It means that the negro shall again be given the domination of the south as he had it during the reconstruction period. Tbe younger generation, whieh was in its infancy during that period of tho white man's woe, will scarcely be able to realize what the south Buffered when all legislatures were black, and when tho laws were mode by ignoranco too dense even to Btoal intelligently. Dur ing that period the southern states were saddled with debts aggregating fSD, 828,584. Annual taxes increased ?5, 000,000. And then $.100,000,000 were stolen, and not a negro in tho south to day can show in thrift and wealth the evidence of his crimes. Tho New Or leans Times-Democrat well says that "it was the greatest steal of modern times;" but why it should not have called it the greatest steal of all times it is difficult tr explain. It is this regime to which tho Republican platform demands a re turn. Republican orators nre trying to ignore tnis demand or their platform. hot platforms are things mnde at mid day. Presidcut Harrison is fully committed to the force bill doctrine, and must stand of fall upon the issuo. The At lanta Constitution well expresses the prevalent memory of the south concern ing a past which will never be restored with the consent of tho intelligent por tion of the American pooule, thus: Nor was this immense debt the only evil under the federal force bill and negro rule policy. There was no secur ity for life, liberty and property. Tbe two races were always in collision Commerco and industry lagged; capital tied from the south; mob opposed mob, r.rA lawless Judge Lynch became the only safeguard of law and order. De troit iews.

THE ROCK BOTTOM FRINCIPLE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Onr Government ut frmeut tse Its fewer to Dnrreano Mm freedom of the Fit to Italians the t'nfit Capitalists AMeil. TVnrklnirmen Injnrerl. "Fitncssi Hhould be tle sole test," nald Mr. Cleveland, in shaking of public office. And where freedom is to exist, fitness mast be the teot in everything, and the use of government must be only to allow the test to be made. A government plainly commits grosH wrong when it Interferes against fitness and in behalf of unfitness. Unless this is true and nnless its truth is self evi dont, nothing can be established as tru- In political economy and in the scienc i of political government. In the affairs of a free people the question of fitness is raised and deter mined incessantly. Every transaction of business, every exchange of any kind, whether of labor or its product, involves it. And before any such exchange i possible it must be determined in some way, either by free bargain or by com pulsion nsod against one of the parties to the bargain. "IIow much of my kind of work ought I to give you for a certain amount of your kind of workr is the bottom ques tion with a free people, and it is only the question of fitness. Stated in an other way it is, "How much of my time ought I to sJve you in exchange for a certain amount of your time?" And thus stated it carries its own an swer with it in another question, "What have yon done heretofore to fit yourself to make my use of your time so valua ble to me that I should give you thin . quantity of the products of my time?" In trade the answer is: "Here is what have produced or earned. I offer it in exchange for so much of what you have produced or earned." In co-operation in production the question is, "What are you fit to do in return for such 11 share of onr joint product, or for so much money a day in wages as ifc equivalent?" Wherever thera is free bargain and unless bargain is free there is no freo dom everything raises and turns on the question of fitness. Justice demands that the highest fitness shunld receive the highest return, and this is only pos sible under freedom. Let us imagine a system nnder which a confession of unfitness would be suffi cient to secure for the confessedly unfit privileges and advantages superior to the rest and at the expense of the rest! Could we imagine a government more unjust in theory or more opposed in practice to all the laws of nature and civilization? In such a government the unfit would apply to the lawmakers, saying: " We are not fit to secure the advantages we wish unless you compel others to help us. But with such compulsion in our favoi ana against those who are more fit than we for independence we solemnly nrom- ise that we will help those who are even less fit than we are." Such a government must use its force to decrease the freedom and to lessen the independence of the fit for the bene fit of the confessedly unfit. And such a government we have now in America. Every claim made for help under the compulsion of law, forcing others to give it, is based on confessed unfitness, and it is a plea that superior fltnes? ehould by ,orce of law aubjected to this eonfess.i nnfitniwa "Wo 4 to survive on an independent basis," says a combination of capitalists. "We can not get along at all unless those Ameri cans who are more fit for independence than we are by law compelled to aid us. If we do not have the privilege of this compulsion over others through laws passed for our benefit we will have to close up and quit." lliis is the argument, and the answei is: "Close up and quit if you are not fit to keep open and going. The quicker ; the better. And if you are so unfit thai 1 e , """. y. 8 to the poorhonse, which is the only privilege a Jut government can concede to unfit- e it the expense of fitness." cTtXS 1.1'. J .1 1 . ... . uinpas is iuq soie tesi as rar as orov- ernment is concerned in any and all its relations with the individual. The gov ernment owes no help to the unfit, bo cause government is compulsion, and ta restrict the liberties of those who are fit for freedom and independence to civa privileges to those who are not fit is to create anarchy; to destroy the only foundation on which government cari securely rest the foundation of fitness the maintenance of the test of fitness in all the relations between man and man. The unfit should bo helped by the freo action of the fit. To deprive them of free action, to maka the contribution foi unfitness compulsory, is destroy free dom and to make justice impossible. No government can long endrtro on such a basis. St. Louis Republic. No Dodg-lnc II ere. It is foolish to pretend that the De mocracy is trying to dodgo the taiifl issue or to refrain from availing itself of tho advantages that have accrued and must still accrue from the unpopu larity of the McKinley law.
