which the negroes have in the Southern States

which the negroes have in the Southern States
Senator Butler: The worst enemies to the
negro at the South are not the land owners,
but certain class of shopkeepers (of course
do not include in this category many coun-
try merchants, who are very honorable, fair
dealing men) who sell the negro bad whisky
and tobacco and cheap goods at the most ex-
orbitant rates, and at the end of the agricul-
tural season their entire years earnings are
gone to these men. Eight out of ten of the
negroes will pay any price for goods if they
can buy them on credit. The shopkeepers
generally estimate what each negro will make
and have his account shaped Ito absorb it.
These are evils which time and the negro on
ly can correct, but Radical emissaries seize
upon individual instances of unfair dealing
to play upon the credulity of the negroes and
make them believe that it is the landlord
who has wronged them.
CoLoNIzING THE NEGROES.
Correspondent: What do you think of the
proposition that has been made to colonize
the negroes upon some of the Government
lands in the Territories?
Senator Butler: scarcely think it is wise,
and yet I would be quite willing to see the
experiment tried. If reservations could be
set aside in the Territories of Arizona or New
Mexico, where the negroes could gradually
settle and acquire fee simple title to the land,
perhaps they might do WE'LL but should not
have much confidence in its success.
Correspondent: What would be your sug-
gestion, then, of the course best calculated to
benefit the blacks -,
Senator Butler: 1t would be much better
for the negro if the race could be gradually
distributed throughout the North, where he
would have the fostering care and protection
and guidance of his Republican friends Of
that section and the sustaining power and in
auence of the more thrifty, intelligent and
energetic Caucasian. Such disposition of
them would, think, settle the much vexed
race question in this country.
Correspondent: Do you believe the negro
could stand the climate of the North ?
Senator Butler: Most assuredly. The ne.
groes stand the Northern climate quite as we'll
as does the white man Of the South, and on
the other hand the, Northern white man stands
the Southern climate as we'll as the negro, ex.
cept, perhaps in the miasmatic regions, and can
do as much labor under the Southern sun as
a negro can. 1t is not as hot in the South as
it is in Kansas or Minnesota. The heated
term is longer, but not SO intense or fatal as
further North, and with proper hygienic and
sanitary precautions we donot have as much
sickness as at the North. Upon the whole
gradual interchange and exchange of popula-
tion between the sections would exercise sal
utary and beneficial influence upon the coun-
trv
