dependence on the dark people for the cul-
ture of their lands the dark people feel
their dependence on the white people for the
payment Of their wages. From what have
seen of the oppression of female clerks in
some of the dry goods stores at the North,
and from what have seen of the oppression
of some young men at the North on small
salaries which they must take or get moth
ing at all, have come to the conclusion that
there is more consideration and sympathy for
colored labor at the South to-day, than there
are consideration and sympathy for some of
the employees in some Of the dry goods stores
on Fulton avenue, Brooklyn Broadway,
New York; Washington street, Boston;
Chestnut street, Philadelphia. In all the land
and in all the earth there are tyrannical EN-
ployers, and their maltreatment Of subordi-
mates, white or black, deserves execration.

NORTHERN SETTLERS WELL TREATED.
II. Another impression in regard to the
South that I wish to correct-and that is,
that they are antsgonistic to having North,
erners come down there and settle. The
whole impression given heresat the North has
been that if Northerners 60 down South
they are ku-kluxed, kept out of society, or,
getting into society, thrown out again, and in
every way made uncomfortable
From the States where I visited the cry
comes, and I bring it today in their name,
"Send doson yolr capitalists, send down your
Northern farming machines, come and buy
our plantations, open stores, build cotton
factories and rice mills-come by the hun
dreds, by the thousands, by the millions; and
come right away" I declare here that that
is the sentiment of the Souta.
Of course there is no r,ore admiration at
the South for Northern fools and Northern
braggarts than there is here. If man going
South shall put his valise at the depot, then
go up on the nearest plantation, and say by
his manner or by words: eve have come
down here to show you Southern people how

are going to whip you in agriculture. am

an opening field for American enterprise.
Horace Greeley's advice Of "Go West" is to
have its addenda in $50 South"
The first avalanche of population that way
will make their fortunes. 1t is national
absurdity that such large proportion of the
cotton of the South, at great expense, should
be sent North, in order to be transformed into
useful fabrics. The few factories at the South
are the pioneers of innumerable spindles
which are soon to begin the hum Of the grand
march on the banks Of the Savannah and
the Apalachicola and the Tombigbee.
LOYAL TO THE GOVERNMENT.
III. Another wrong impression in regard
to the South that I want to correct is, that
the people there are antagonistic to the United
States Government These people submitted
to the settlement of the sword certain ques-
tions, and now they are submissive to the de-
cision. There is no fight in them,
