Here in these twelve counties, lying chiefly in
the central belt of territory that borders the Mis-
souri, River, We see that the increase of slaves in
five years has been 10, ,230, while the increase of
whites has been but q 404 little more than two
whites to every slave-a glaring evidence Of the
effect which increase of slave labor has in
diminishing the natural increase OF white popula-
ton. In the entire State of Missouri, the whole
increase of slaves since 1851, as before shown has
been but IL, ,492, while the increase in the twelve
counties Just enumerated is shown to be 10 230
thus establishing that in all the balance of the
State-in the 30 remaining counties, embracing
jS-l0ths Of the of Missour-the increase Of
slaves has been only 1892. On the other hand in
these twelve counties the increase in free white
population has been but 81 ,404, while that in the
residue of the State--in the 95 Counties amounts
| to lS4 29o. The contrast then will stand as fol-
lows, to witt
Increase of free whites in 95 counties 1s4 299
Increase Of slaves in 95 counties 2,2G2
Ratio of increase of free whites to slaves in
95 counties in five years 81 to
! But these 05 counties contain free white pop
ulation of Geo 92l and slave population of 81 AZ
or one slave to IL whites. These facts and figures
demonstrate that in eght.tenths of the State,
being 95 counties out Of l07, upon status of pop
ulation Of ii whites to every slave, the increase
of inhabitants exhibits 81 free whites to every
slave; beyond all questions of cavi that tie EN-.
gration which is flowing into our State from the
older States and from Europe is indisputably an.
tagonistic to the system Of Slavery. These are
matters that Representatives should consider well
when seeking again to renew Slavery agitation,
for there is no one thing surer on this earth than
hat av Il ictu nt tha of
contributes to shake the fabric upon which the
system rests and give greater zeal and impetus to
the advance Of white labor. / have adduced IL
counties containing nearly half Of the slaves in
Missouri. Let me refer to some of them again
before passing on. Two, and these among the
largest,aso especially to be noted to wit: Howard
and Lafayette. In each Of them, it will be
rorambered that the increase Of slaves is larger
than that OF free white citizens since 1901, mus:
Whites. Slaves.
Increase in Howard in five years 262 7S3
Increase in Lafayette in five years 9el 1,493
This increase Of slaves, therefore, has been at
the expense of the white population; and those
who are so eager in contending for the ben6cent
influence of Slavery extension" will have to rec
oncile it to themselves how they give praise to
institution which is thus sure even in the heart of
Missouri amid her most fruitful lands and en-
chanting scenery, to be a barrier to the advance
ment of their own race and their own lineage
