in religious assembly. The white peo-
pie OF the South ieel their dependence
on the dark people for the cultivation Of
their lands, and the dark people feel their
dependence on the white people for
wsges. From what have observed here
at the North Of the oppression of some
of our female clerks in dry good stores
and the struggle of many OF our young
men on insufficient salaries, which they
must take or get nothing at all, give q.
my opinion that to-day there is more
consideration and sympathy for colored
labor at the South than there is consid-
Grafton and sympathy for employees in
some of the stores on Fulton avenue,
Brooklyn, or Broadway, New York,
Washington street, Boston, or Chestnut
street, Philadelphia. All the world over,
there are tyrsnnicsl employers, and TOR
their msltreatment of subordinstes, white
or black, they are to be execrated; but
the place for us to begin reformation is
at home.
Another misrepresentation in regard
to the South / cure when say they are
not autagonistic to the settlement OF
Northern men within their borders. We
have been told that Northerners going
there are kukluxed, crowded out OF social
life, unTecognized, aud in every way
made uncomfortable. But the universal
sentiment as have found it was, ''send
down your Northern capitalists; send
down your Northern farming machines; (;
buy plantations; open stores build cot
ton factories aud rice mills; come come
right away; come by tens of thousands
and by millions" OF course they have
no more liking for Northern fools or
Northern brsggarts than we have. A
