White Mem to toll fiSr the Ne
gEG.

l.
few white men who desire to toll
for the negro. 90 This policy causes
all white men to toll for HIM, His
tory says, that the negro race was
never a self supporting race. Now
the government is expending not
less than $50, 900, 900 yearly, in
the South for the negro, and it il
all paid by white labor. The negro
presents the same aspect in the
south that he 3cQg all over creation
helpless. and under master. If
the system now in force is changed,
it will but scatter the evil, and
transfer the burden to the North.
The instinct of the negro race is de-
tendency, and is confirmed by the
degradation of ages. AS race, he
is Indifferent to human government,
careless of the law, avcrse to indus
try, and prone to commit crime.
Let us illustrate by taking the
Northern States,
In 1927, emancipation was COM
pletc in nine states of the North.
In that year, in Pennsylvania, one
third, in New Jersey, one-half, in
Massachusetts, one sixth, in New
York one. fourth. in Connecticut,
onc-tbird of the convicts were blacks;
although the negroes composed, in
those Statos, in the above order,
but -thirt fourth, one thirteenth
one -seventy-fourth, one-tbirty-ffth,
one-thirty-fourth part of the popu-
lation. In 1850, in Massachusetts,
there was one white convict to eve
ry ,, 5333 Of white population, and
one negro convict to every 1872 Of
of negro population. In Pennsyl-
vania, there was one white convict
to every 6, SS4 of white population,
and one negro ctnvict to every 492
Of negro population In Ohio, there
was one white convict to every ), 400
white population, and one negro
convict to every 574 Of negro popu-
lation. Greeley, now the advocate
of this negro policy, as late as 1855,
commenting on Northern enamel
patton, said: CAS- a class, the
blacks are indolcnt, improvidcnt,
servilc, and liccntious. - And, in
1852, Gerrit Smith, who had plac-
cd cmancipated negroes on his own
land, said: ''Thc most of them
prefer to rot. both physically and
morally. in cities, rather than Gc-
come farmers and mechanics, in the
country In Massachusetts, crime
among the free negroes, is over
eight times greater than among the
wLitc population though the ne
groes have enjoyed impartial free
DOM ever since 17S0.' Impartial
freedom was tried in st. Domingo
in 17720, by Rohr>picrrc, the histo-
rical relative of Wade, Sumner, and
John Sherman, and Allison the
historian, has painted the re-
suit: "Ncgrocs marched with
spiked infants or their spears,
instead of colors; then sawed asvn-
der the male prisoners, and violated
the females on the dead bodies Of
their husbands - In the Northern
states after fifty years of freedom,
the negro is no better off. He is in
no productive employment, and
fills the penitentiaries, and jails,
and poor houses. and is a constant
tax upon white labor.
The flower of the slave popula-
ton, who fed to Canada, is bur-
don On the white labor there. From
the Rio Grandc to Brazil, including
two and half millions of square
miles of territory, the country is
almost desert waste from negro
influence. In Hayti, after sixty
years of freedom, the negro has re-
lapsed to barbarism; lives on fruits
and berries and worships a snake.
In 1890, the exports from there
were worth $27, S28, 900. Now,
nothing is exported but coffee,
which grows without much labor.
so it is in Jamaica and other West
India Islands. Whenever you find
the negro left to himself, you find
him a burden on industry, and dis
grace to government. And yet,
this is the race to be brought to
our elections, and to administer
the government, to support the
decaying glories of black Republi-
canism, and to control the affairs Of
white men here. The Southern states
are now in the hands of negroes,
and their soil and industry are to
be added to the blight of negroism
elsewhere. Who shall occupy the
Southern States, is an important
question to the white labor of the
North? From 1921 to 1861 the
amount of duty paid to the govern
ment for exports, by the Southern
States, was S799, 50s,37S. The
amount paid by the Northorn states,
in the same time, was 1892, 365, :
O65, being less than the former by
S4O7, ,244, 313. Let but the white
race in the South be relieved from
the incubus of black Republican
policy, and soon northern labor will
be relieved by southern revenue,
and the public debt and expendi-
