Let gentlemen, then, but study the
history Of the Arabs in their mixture
Of races, let them but study the histo-
ny of the Turks, let them but study
the history Of Morocco, if they will
ever take the trouble to study at all
and they will see what a fatal step
they are taking now in equalising
unnatural races, or rather in subjec-
ting the superior white race Of the
South to negroes from Africa. Muley
lsmael was Emperor of Morocco about
1850, and he had a negro as well as a
Georgian wife, between whom and
others, were born from him, the his
torian records, 800 children, the last
born when he was nearly so years Of
age This Muley lsmael, in order to
do what you in this Congress are do
ing, that is to enforce a military des-
potism upon his people, neglected the
Moors, and enlisted an army Of 100
900 negroes, obtained from the coast
Of Guinea. Through civil war and
bloodshed, and for over 100 years. as
you will find in the history of Moroc-
co written by Chenier, the Moors were
in the most miserable condition a peo-
pie could be in, almost all the time
under the power Of these negroes,
these Janissaries, these Pretorian
Guards of the Emperor, and they new
er ceased in their insolent demands
and pretcnsions 1t was not till 1880
that these 100000 negroes could be
got md OF by any device, and then,
through Sid Mahomet, by cunning and
fraud, they were reduced to 1900 be-
fore they noted their weakness. 1t

race to recover itself from the fatal

Our continent has been settled by two
classes of men, Anglo Saxon, Celt and

Latin race in the South. God never
made a nobler race of men than the
old Hidalgos OF Spain, who, under
Columbus, in little caraval OF forty
tons, started on the trackless Atlantic
in search Of the then unknown Amer
lea. God never made nobler race, /
