Be menl Stand up! Comeout and say why you do this thing. This provision in the bill providing for contract laborersthat is. for the contracts with contract labbrers being carried outhas been amended. The Senate has endeavored. I believe. to keep that provision from being enacted by the amendment of the Senator from Massachusetts. but you still have all these judges appointed by the governor. with the governor recommended by the sugar planters tothe President. with no means of communication between that country and this. with the large number of Americans over there who are not worth a thousand dollars and therefore can not vote for a senator. with the provisions of this bill looking to the perpetuation of the rule of wealth without regard to the old slogan of the Republican party. manhood suffrage.
