riafc Slaves.

We have always insisted that the natural
and inevitable tendency of the slave system
is TO reduce the poor white man practically to
the same level with the black No one who
has lived or travelled extensively in the South,
need be assured Of this. In a country where
labor is looked upon as degrading. the ten.
dency must be towards an imperial aristoc-
racy on the one hsCd, and slsvish vassalisn,
on the other. All distin ctiou between tie ii.-
fsrent classes OF laborers cease. Poverty be-
comes tbs badge Of serv v.tude. aud differences
of complexion serys only to indicate the is-
gree OF intelligence Of the ''ohat;ei." There
can be no permanent distinction anoag the
servie class: either the black must be eleya-
ted 70 the condition OF respected servant, or
the poor white man must sink down to the
level Of brutalized slave. II country Of
exclusive a,istoerscy, like the South. the idea
Of a middle ia6orirag class IS q contradiction
Of terms.
