they supposed they were. Especially when,
as in 1866, the crop was failure, and their
share of it did not repay the landowner his
advances, they could not understand that,
while 'old MASTER had all there was they
had less than nothing. The system was
ha1. so it's results were evil. 1t is far bet
ter where they have no credit, 30 advances,
and struggle through the year as they can,
so that their share of the crop, large or
small, is all their own when it is ready for
sale. On the crop of 1869 those who worked
on this basis generally made money; on
that of 1870, which sold much lower, they
made little or nothing; this year, am as
sured, they generally grow corn as well as
cotton, hoping to make their own bread and
meat, and leave their cotton clear.
Some will succeed in this; others will
fail; but, taken in the average, l judge
that the freedmen of the cotton States are
this day in as good circumstances as the
hired workers who till the soil of any
European country. And l am confident
that the plantation laborers are rarely or
never in want of employment or of homes.
If there were profigate, idle, pilfering fell
lows among them, they have drifted away
to the cities, or to some other country than
this. There is no place fer such ON planta-
tons, and very few of them could stay
there if they would. -.t,f.. .......,.l.. .
The old Shareholders, on whose testimony
have mainly relied thus far, add that the
black women are not doing so well as the
men, but are mainly intent on finery
and idleness. The children 1.-THE planters
add rule their parents, and do little or
nothing; so that when this generation of
feld-hands, trained to steady work as slaves,
shall have died of, matters will have
changed for the worse. In opposition to
this, proffer the testimony of my eyes. To
say that have seen many more black
women than white persons blowing and
hoeing in the corn. cotton and cane fields
of Louisiana and Texas would be saying
little; / am sure saw half as many black
women as black men working the crops:
and in many cases father, mother and one
or two children were at work together.
On the whole, must regard the question
"Will the niggers work!'' satisfactorily
answered The four and a quarter million
bales of cotton grown in the United States
in 1870 are not to be gainsaid.

Horace Greeleys Letters to the N. Y Tribune
The planters who were formerly slave
holders have uniformly assured me that
their ex-slaves are working better than they
expected, and better this year than ever be-
fore. / can not recollect single dissent
from this averment. Most of the old plan
tation hands either rent lands, paying SO
much cotton per acre, or they work them
on shares-say, half the crop when they
find their own team and seed, and one-third
when these are found by the landowner.
And it has been found far more satisfactory
to divide the crop at the ginhouse or ON the
dock, letting each market for himself, than
to have the landowner sell it in bulk and
account to the cultivator for his share of
the proceeds. The negroes, keeping no ac-
counts and not very careful i'll their habits,
usually found, on settlement, that they
had eaten up their crop while it was
growing, and were often in debt after
it had been sold and accounted
for. No doubt, they were sometimes
cheated; but, even when they were not,
