doubt but that a large majority Of the voters
of Mississippi (ntering from the returns al

the proposed amendment to the Constitu-

year 1888 as merchandise, and that this
section of the Constitution is proposed to be
amended by the substitution of the follow
ing


"SEc. 2. The Legislature shall have,
and are hereby vested with power to pass
such laws regulating or prohibiting the in
PRODUCTION of slaves into this state as may
be deemed proper and e4pedient."
