upon this subject than ever before.
and ready to approve Of a mode
rate outlay of m oney in this direc-
tion. And this outlay will have
the sympathy and assistance that
capital seeking Investment here
can give. Our manufacturing in
dustries and Rail Roads will work
in unisol with it..
The Rail Roads South seeing
what advantages the great trunk
| lines North have reaped with
cheap immigrant rates, not only
from the vast numbers passing
over their lines, but from the ship
ments of supplies made to supply
the wants of the immigrants as
| we'll as The carrying the products
of his labor to market, have under
u wise management offered the
same facilities to the immigrant
coming South. A new feature in
our South Atlantic Rail Roads,
and we will soon find them work
ing hand in hand with the State
authorities and will see their Rail
Road advertisements catching the
eye Of the immigrant and the very
inducements they offer be the
means of inducing many to turn
their steps Southward.
And now before closing I should
like to call your attention to one
other important fact in this con-
| nection. Travel where you may
over this broad continent, and this
fact will make itself evident to
| every careful observer who studies
the subject of labor: T.. ,.-
That while the colored laborer
| 50 far as the product Of his labor
is concerned is valuable laborer,
| can live cheaper, than the white
| laborcr when forced to by necessi-
! ty, is at the same time a wasteful
and lmprovident laborer. And
| when We consider him as the factor
| that in the labor of country, is to
| develop that country, though we find
him capable as far as muscular capa-
bility is concerned, and biddable in
| his ordinary wark: still in the nett
| results attained in period Of years
| he is a failure so far as positive results
determine the development of coun-
try. Discuss this subject as We may,
propose to remedy it BY legislation, By
| education, or any other means, the
| fact stands patent to all that the nett
| results from white aud colored labor
in the development of country's re-
| sources bear no comparison the one
| With the other The negro laboEer
makes his crop of cotton and scarcely
| anything else, and when his years
| expenses are paid there is but little to
| show for his years work. And this
| little is soon spent in the first extEav-
| agaDce that catches his eye. There
is lack of individua! Development, Of
| Individual improvement, ofindividual-
ity itself in this labor, without which
nothing either of private or national
enterprise can be success.
Now, Oh the other hand, when we
consider the results derived from white
labor, whether native born CT what
little We have Of immigrant labor,
| we find what? That though this labCC
may have cost more to live during the
year, it has left that much more money
in some one else's hands And the
money for that subsistence has been
made cut Of the labor Itself, and be.
sides there is to show for this labor,
after expenses are paid, something in
the way of stock, and some proVender
for this stock, and some little some
thing in the home itself, though it
may be but little. These gains, though
they may be small in their Individual
aspects, still in the aggregate add
yearly to the general welfare and pros
perity and in the course Of q few
wears make most marked show of
what individuality Of labor does. In
proof of this l will only ask'you to
select in our State any County CT even
portion of County, where the land
is divided up into small farms and
cultivated iD great measure if not en-.
tirely by white labor. And see if you
will not find that section self support
ing, prosperous, land selling readily
and at a good price.
While on the other hand take any
section where the land has been and is
still held in large bodies, that has to
be rented or cultivated upon sheres BY
hired labor, or is owned mainly By the
colored people, and there you 6od debt
mortgages, farming Improbable, land
