, he gets a dollar and she gets gets half because
she is woman. She eats as much as man If
she can get It. applause and laughter.) No
body must sit in judgment how much she must
eat, or how much sense-you can't help that.
(Laughter.) l have seen some women that had
better sense than the men had. (Laughter) |
have talked with them. Give them cnance.
That is what the men fear-they fear that
women will degrade them. They ought to out
grow men for while to bring them to their
place. (Great laughter and applause.)
PREDICTION AND COMPLAINT.
EThis cause must move. Yes, it must They
used TO say to me: "Sojourner, it's no use You
will neber see dc freedom OBJ de slave.' We'll"
says !, "let me be in de body or out oh de body
shall see it, When the dark days were here |
thought should live to see it, Did me aud you
know that it would come to pass, men would be
better and women would be better But men
fear TO give women their rights. Even the
children are brought up TO say to the women:
"Oh, you are only woman; you don't know"
They talk so to their mothers. (LaHghter.)
Like Adam, when God asked what he had been
doing he laid it all to God and the woman.
(LaughterD just so, when children grow up,
they lay all the blame to women.
SUPPLIES WANTED FROM THE ENEMY,
We want woman's rights, but we look TO you
for the money, When woman's rights come, we
will have it in our own pockets. Uaughter.)
we WOuJ run 10 men lOT money! We Will nave
It ourselves. (Applause.) The men will have
to ask us for some money, tLaughter.) We
want them to give us little now, until we get
our rights then we won't be troubled any more
about asking for money. Then you will have
peace; you will be joyful; you and your wife
aud daughter will stand beside you. You will
feel like standing without being propped up.
lAppause.) Let's keep the work moving while
it is moving, and then you won't be asked for
money. Women will have money as well as
men.
MISS ANTHoNY's INEVITABLE COLLECTION.
Susan b. Anthony at this appropriate point
announced that the finance committee would
take up a collection and receive subscriptions.
They didn't want all small stamps either but
would not refuse them.
soJoURNER's CHANT.
SOjourner then commenced a weird, wailing
song, with very queer tune, and odd though
clear pronunciation of words, her old head
swaying TO and fro in harmony. As near as
the reporter could catch the words, the song
was as tOllOWs:-
OF that holy land, that world of light,
Where the cold and dark night OF time is passed,
And the morning OF eternity is come at last
But dwell in their peaceful and sunny home;
Where the light celestial gems our crown,
And the waves Of bliss are dashin' rOun'-
Oh that beautiful home;
Oh-h, that beautiful world
We are goin home we soon shall be
Where the sky is clear and the soil is free;
Nuele Nhe NlCLOI 3 sung lOhlh from the pldlnSt
AND the anthems of seris and glorious strains;
Where the sun rolls down his brilliant flood,
And beams a world that's fair and good;
And the stars that shine natures dome
VIII sparkle and dance from their spirits home.
Oh that beautiful home
Oh-h, that beautiful world,
There tears and sighs, which here are given
There beaGteons forms VIII Sing and sSne
Pure love and friendship will be jned,
Waiting before that prlncely band
a
VIII bathe that immortal company.
Oh, that beautiful home;
Oh-h, that beautiful world
The ransomed throng they and bless
The holy city OF gorgeousness;
The flowers that never winter wear
As waited on the amDrosal air;
Through endless years then shall prove
The dePths OF a Saviours matchless love.
Oh, that beautiful home;
Oh-h, that beautiful world.
THE EFFECT OF THE FREEDMEN's BUREAU.
Mrs. Frances D. Gage in illustration of the
statement that even among the negro slaves of
the South the man is the master of the woman
told a story of cOlored man who was exceed
lngly indignant because the Government hav-
ing freed him, and given him land to work on,
would not hire woman to nurse his children,
so that his wife Nancy could work in the field.
But, said Mrs. Gage, in an attempt to convince
this humble but intelligent freedman, the Gov
ernment cannot afford to pay eight dollars
mOnJn LOT u woman 10 Jake care Oh your Cnll-
dren. Your vile must be allowed to do that
herself General SaXtOn wishes to be very kind
to you, but he refuses to allow this to be done
any more. But the colored man could not see
the Justice of this, and went away grumbling
that 1t was shame that suCn a good tield-hand
as Nancy should be kept at home wasting her
time nursing children. The black man learns
everything from his master.
Soiourner Truth-Dats a fact!
Mrs. Gage-Thats a tact, Soiourner; you
know it. Mrs. Gage went on TO say that the
Colored man considered II his right 10 make his
wife work for him IN the fields, and to prevent
her taking care of her children, as the master
had done before. Are you going to force pros
ututon and wrong on that people? Are you
going TO make it true that the only woman who
has the right to govern her children is the
mother OF illegitmate children? The women
there do not ike to be married in the church,
for the church compels obedience to the hus-
baud. | am talking now for the COlored women
OF the South, forgetting my own degradation
1t is said women don't want to vote in this
country. l tell you it's libel on the women of
this country.
SoouIner Tuth-"Hyer, hyer!"
Man in audieuce-"lhey ought 10 want to
yote.n
ATTACK ON PHILLIPS AND BEECHER.
Mrs Gage-The women who have worked
night and day in the last war, when this great
public opinion which had crushed them down
litted, and said:-"You will not shrink from
voting" (Applause.) Let Wendell Phillips
and Henry Ward Beecher stand on this platform
and ask the suffrage for woman, and leave aside
their objections.
Mrs. Stanton-Mr. Beecher has not made any.
Mrs. Gage-Lately he has,
Mr.. PurVis-l understand Mr.. Phillips to say
that woman does not want to vote, as a reason
why we should agtate this subject the more.
! Mrs. Gage-Let him explain il in that way,
and will accept it. l don't find him saying
