Philanthropy

The ouicry raised by people in non
s'avcholdimg States against slavery
imposes upon no one but themselves.
Alc Northern men better than South
crn ? Are they moro humane, mcrci
iul and generous? Is human naturc
North Of Mason and Dixon's line a
different thing from human nature
Souti.of it? Why should people be
more com passionate and more be.
ncvolent there than they are here
What makes them 50? And how do
they show il
Did they ever hold slaves2 What
has become Of those slaves? Did
they give them away! Not a bit of
it. Before their law abolishing slavery
went INTO oprration-which was not
I'LL slavery ceased to be profitable
they sold everything black in their
possession TO thc Southern States.-
W hat an illustration Of disinteres,el
philanthropy. Why did they no. set
u, better example.
Did their people ever have any con-
ncxion with the slave trade Most
undoubtedly. They were the princi
pal men who carried it on. They
made large fortunes by it. 1t is !.
curious fact that, until the American
g"?crnment passed laws against the
slave trade, Northern philan hropy
was never excited upon the suhiec, Of
Southern slavery.
Have they ever shown their cyces.
slve compassion for the slave by con-
tr!buling the money made in the slave
trade, or i'll any other way, to his
emancipation! Not at all. They have
built up colossal fortunes and main
moth cities upon Save labor. But
LEY kccra tight grip Of every dime.
They Will not buy The freedom of
slaves. They will not aid the tuci.
tive negro who has escaped flom sl1.
very. To escape from starvation. They
will not show mercy to their own
white poor, much less to the blacks of
another section.
Why, then: dc they raise srch fuss
about slavery Not because they are
more sympa,hising or more humane
than others: for true humanity and true
sympathy show themselves in fruitful
deeds, and not in barren words. It is
easier to pick flaws in your neighbor's
character than to reform your own.-
A"rcovcr, the outcry against the nomi-
nal slavery of the black Iaborer diverts
attention from the real slavery of the
Northern laborer.
