And now before closing should
like to call your attention to one
other important fact 10 this con-
ncction. 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:
That while the colored iaborer
| SO far as the product Of his labor
| is concerned is a valuable lahorer,
| can live cheaper than the white
| laborer 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 a country, is to
develop that country, though we Fad
him capable as far as muscular caps

his ordinary wsrk !: still in the. nett
results attained 10 period Of years
he is failure so far as positive results
determine the development Of a 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 and colored labor

is lack of individual development, Of
individual improvement, ofindividual-
ity itself in this labor, without which
nothing either of private OF national
enterprise can be success.
Now, on the other hand, when We
consider the results derived from white
labor, whether native born or what
little we have of Immigrant labor,
we find what? That though this laber
may have cost more to live during the
year, it mas left that much more money
in some one else's hands. And the
money for that subsistence has been
made out of the labor itself, aud be.

what individuality of labor does. In
proof of this Twill only ask;you to
