"What to me are the questions of silver and gold, or tariffs and currency, while my people are torn..." 11
“What to me are the questions of silver and gold, or tariffs and currency, while my people are torn from their little cabins, snatched from jails by furious mobs with no chance to establish their innocence of crimes imparted to them—shot down, stabbed, hanged and burnt to death without judge or jury. While these hell black atrocities shall continue no man with a drop of colored blood in his veins should allow himself to think of any other politics than those relating to his people.”
