An Appeal

and Reason of the Noble and
Helpless Women, Who Stand
in Greatest Peril if the Repub- j
licans are Successful at the'
Polls and the Force Bill is Fast

: Correspondence North Carolinian.
Dear Madam Your lot in life is
j 'doubtless hard. Your cook, if you
can afford to have one, is thriftless,
incompetent and impudent. The col
ored hands are idle, careless and un
manageable. Your husband's crop is
short. He is in debt, doubtless. Cot-
on is six cents the pound. Tobacco
is going for a song. There is no spare
tnoney to educate the children ; barely
enough to clothe them against the
winter's approaching cold. Your hus
band's face no longer wears a smile.
He does not talk about the same things
he used to talk about. He is much
from home. Strange and bitter words
are in his mouth and in his neighbor's
mouth.
This is your condition this is our
condition. Your husband has been
fooled by his false and treacherous
leaders into the belief, that, through
i he Third party, a sudden change for
the better will take place. Perhaps
your husband has misled you into the
same belief. If so, dear Madam, stop
and reflect. The Third party is made
up of white men. The Democratic
party is made up of white men. The
Radical party is made up of negroes.
The negroes never divide.
Ask your husband, dear Madam,
this question: How can the People's
party win if the white men are divided
and the negroes stand united?
What does he say? Ah ! hear him.
