MEssRs. EDIToRs: Some months ago you pub
lished an extract from q speech of the Hon.
John C. Spencer, of New York, upon the sub
ject Of slavery, pointing out some Of its many
evils You intended by that extract to show
what one Of the most able and distinguished
sons of New York thought and spoke, at q
time when 1t was dsrnoeatie to talk about the
equality of men, and long before sbolitionism
had been ussd as bugbear with which to fright.

can furnish you an authority from Gov
ernor Of New York, while slavery existed In it,
more than a century cid, touching a point
which has been frequently discussed in your
paper.
Governor George Clarke, in his address to the
Colonial Legislature of New York, April 5th
1897, says;
"The arfifeers complain, and with Too much
reason, Of the PernicioUs custom Of binding
slaves 10 trades, whereby the hOnsst and indus
trious tradesmen are reduced to poverty, for
want Of employ, and msRy Of them forced "a
teaUe as, to seek their living in other countries.
II deserves your consideration, and hope will
receive present remedy"
Here the IncOmratibility Of slave labor with
free labor, IL briefly stated, and the two evil,
Economically speaking inseparable from slave
ny, are clearly dsducsd. Where slavery exists
ths free laborer is either reduced to poverty and
social degradation. or is forced to seek his liv-
ing in other countries, where labor is not an
ignominy.
But have older Illustrations of the evils Of
slavery than any upon this continent. Slave
holders claim to be agrlculturists, and would
fsin convince Kentuekians that land cultivated
by slaves Is most productive to its owners.
Let us hearwhat Roman writer's said Of Italy
ColumelIa, s;uetoniua and Appi an, inform n.
that "when the soil Of Iialy was monopoIised
by few proprietors, and cultivated by siapss
Only, as was the case at the close Of the Repub-
Inc, the country pss deserted, the inhabitants
thrcnging into Rome and the large towns; for
which evil the emperors in vain sought rem
edy."
Where slavery exists, all servitude (sy which
mean all kinds Of manual labor must be dis
honorable. II was 30 in Rome; manufacture,
and the mechanical arts were held as dishonora-
BILE BY the Romans; hence, slaves, foreigners
and none but the lowestcitizens practised them
Slaves were. therefore, the usual BARRIERS, cob
bisnl, tailors, and artisans in general.

The following passages may be found in
Fishers address ON the subject Of Slavery
"viee is fatal to the increase Of population .
"One fact is disclosed by the census, which Is
very significant on this point. There is an ex-
cess among the white people Of the South Of
I32.072 males. Among those Of the North only
1898" "Now the vices of ciyilised society
affect males chiefly, young men and boys, far
more than any other"
With no intention to adopt Fishers mode Of
reasoning OH this subject, will give few
statistics by way of addition: rsserving COM
msnis for future communication.
According 10 the census Of 1910, Virginia
contained near one-sixth OF the white popula-
ton Of the slavehoIding States. Assuming as
correct that the excess of males South is 1884,
on, virginia's portion Of this excess would be
about twenty-five thousand. From the census,
the excess Of males In Virginia lie only LOGO.
Examination viii also develop another fact
Esstsrn Virginia in 1s41 contained 3y5, o4O
slaves-Wesisrn Virginia only 53,737. In
Eastern Virginia the twhite) female population
exceeds the male 5,l60. Western Virginia
supplies this deficiency, and gives the excess Of
1850 as stated. Theoxcess Of male population
in Western Virginia is $3.50. Virginia statistics
win not support the position assumed by our
Ohio friend. In the eastern portion of the
State, with white population in 1910 Of &c.,
285, we find deficit Of male population Of
5,lG(t-a larger difference than exists In Massa-
chnsstts. In proportion to the number of In.
habEtants. In the hitter State II Is well known
