265 - L Oct. 5; ed:2/4 - "The laborer who proposes to vote for Jeff
Davis, should first read of some plans proposed by rebel papers, and
their views on 'free' things." The Richmond EXAMINER, Alabama HERALD
and Richmond ENQUIRER all speak against free Negroes, free farms, free
thinking, free schools and declare that they are "all in the same cate-
gory, and belong to the same brood of damnable isms."
Howell Cobb, leader in the rebellious movement, advocated enslavement
of all workingmen and women. He says, "there is perhaps no solution of
the problem of reconcil ing the interest of capital and labor, so as to
protect each from the encroachments of the other, so simple as slavery."
