LOUISVILLE. KY: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 90 1917.

We will take the number over 16 years in
the year 1916, as our basis for the benefit
Of the argument, as the number in 1850,
when law to that effect shall go into opera
ton to remove those included in this
plan. In the census of 1910, there were
in round numbers, 200 between Sc and
55. There were 5000 over So and up
wards. Halye the $1,000 to get those
under 45-which is 5000. Add this 5000,
TO 5,000 which makes $4,000, over As
years old in the State. Deduct this number
from S5,675 those over 16 in the State. and
we have 72.678, between 20 and 43 to be
removed. This is sufficiently near to show
our plan. Take from this capital 1000
adults, those who are married, and let their
children, under five years old, go with them.
Add five per cent. annually to the capital
that went the preceding year; and in thirty
years who would be in slavery TO tell about
the times past The second table shows
what is the increase, as matters now stand,
over 10 years Of age, that would be added
'tothe capitaf We assume in this plan,
the same as in the first plan, as TO deaths
incapability Of emigrating. and no removals
Of slaves to other slave States. -Four ships,
making each two voyages, will take the
whole emigration for a year. This plan
takes from the capital to place il at inter-
est in Liberia, and the interest that is taken
under FIVE years old, becomes capital to
have its interest in Liberia, instead of Ken
lucky,
In making the draft, the number to emf
crate shall be drawn, say in 1S50-10O0
husbands, and 1000 wives, from the whole
number between 20 and 43. They are
hired out by the County Court for two years
to pay expense Of removal, &c. In 1852
they leave for Liberia. In 1851 the draft
is made from the same ages TO be hired out
for the same purpose They will leave in
1853. And so on. When the married are
not sufficient TO make up the number to go,
then let the unmarried be selected. In no
case shall an owner be required to let more
than one go, male or female, until all the
owners have had one taken from them, be-
tween the ages given, viz: 20 and 43.
Thus the removal falls equally on ALL In
case an owner owns the husband OF the wife
that is drawn to 60, then let man unmar-
ried of equal value be drawn from another
owner, and the husband be given up to go
with the wife and the single man become
the property of the man that has sent hus
band and wife But this would be a rart
case.
30 plan. The removal OF those between
20 and %, male and female. All born il
1850, and afterwards, in the State, shall b
free born. At 20 they shall be hired on
for six years by the County Court, withou
those who owned the mother wished TO keel
them in his service for six years. Thu
time is q compensation TO the owner Of tn
mother. for his consent TO lose his slave
properly. After the six years, the persoI
shall be hired out to pay his passage, ant
have an outfit TO Liberia. The childreI
they may have shall go with them. The,
are % when they emgrate. We will TAX
the highest number Of the increase over II
that we find in the Auditors Reports, viz
:, $50 for the year 1912, as the number 4
emieTate in The year-or We will ALLOW
the whole increase as given of tn
slaves in TIE most fayorable year, that G
| 1843, which was 1858. Allowing tha
none die, but all live, and are found owe
20 years old, it will be seen the Who'll
number can be taken away, which eve
number you select TO emigate. The ia
bic that shows the increase annually {
what goes over 10 years is before the reade
to learn the stream that feeds the capital G
fountain. In 1873 the plan goes into opera
ton for removal. As the years roll around
they are annually going, and finding TIC
that bind them together in Liberia. Whe
the first emigration on this plan leaves, the
90 knowing that not slave child is Dor
; in the State. And when the last emlgrl
, ton departs, they have seen buried a
their relatives except those over 20, VIII
, will find christian burial in the State. y
' this plan, we assume emigration will sto
r when the law goes into effect by volul
: tary emancipation for the purpose--and "
assume as in the other plans, that MOI
will be taken to other States, DC.
Perhaps the reader will be aided in h
reflections on this subject, by stating to hin
that from 1910 to 1916, the increase in Il
State of those over 16, is but S.5lS: tn

( years but 1901, only an increase in Il

the slaves under 16, or over 10 is compar
r lively small each year.
