'Fhe contract system lisa great mis-
take, wrong in principle. and unjust
in practice. The true. obvious and
only Just policy is to leave capital and
labor to adjust themselves according
to the law of supply aud Demand
The negro is necessity to the South.
Four thousand miles Of travelling and
four months Of close observation IN
seven of the Southern States con
vince me Of that fact The planter
cannot do WITHOUT him. Wherever
white labor has been tried in the cot
ton and rice fields il has proved an
utter an ignomimous failure. % the
other hand, the planter is a necessity
TO the negro. Nowhere can the me-
gro find a better market for his labor
than in cultivaling the products Of the
Sunny South: He is adapted for the
work and for the climate. There is
mutual dependence; and with fair and
equal laws, | am convinced that the
negro can get along much better with

with IL.
