Mr.. Douglass then passed into an.eu-
logy OF the white race and its achieve
ments, and told the eolored people that
they were ia contact with the most in-
domtable. the most enlightened race in
the world, and that he would be false TO
his own race If he did not tell them Just
where they stood-what an immense
distance they were behind the white
people. He did not believe the colored
people were fundamentally and eter-
nally inferior TO the whites but they are
nevertheless practically inferior. We
must not talk about equality until We
can do what white people can do. he
said. As long as they can build ves-
sells and We cannot, we are their infe-
riors; as long as they can build railroads
and we cannot, we are their interiors;
as long as they can found governments
and We cannot, We are their interiors"
| Coming down on the boat on Saturday
night he noticed that the 100 colored
people aboard made as much noise as
500 white people would have done, and
as long as they do these things they are
inferior TO the whites. III in twen-

lie told the colored people that they
must get money and keep It if they
wished to elevate themselves. One
trouble with them is that they always
want to be going some here, and do
not stay in one place or at one thing
long enough to accumulate. A poor
people are always a despised people.
To be respected they must get money
and property. Without money there ~
no leisure: without leisure no thought;
without thought no progress. Their
preachers should tell them more about
what TO do and less about what to feel.
They should cultivate their brairs more
and their lungs less. They should not
depend upon being helped, but should
do for themselves. He was tired Of
Ethiopia holding out her hands. They
>hould not depend upon the Lord for
everything. The Lord is good and kind.
but is OF the most use to those who do
for themselves. No man has a right TO
live unless he lives honestly. and no
man lives honestly who lives upon an
other. The only political allu>ion he
made in his speech was in saying that
the Southerner could control the vote
of the negroes in the Southern States
far more completely than Northerners
could. The colored man turned instinc-
lively for advice and assistance to those
who had been raised with him.
