TACT that IL the Negro rs certain of good wages
and sure pay, he viii work. The complainer
continues 10 weep over the emigration of the
roe o Kansas, Arkansas, Texas and Flor
iua ] have always opposed emigration as
condition. DO this and our natal air will be
the BEST for us to inhale Meanwhile this rest
IesSneSS among the Negroes is the plainest in
ueA 10 tneir lie ling Of contempt at the treat
ment they receive But they ought 10 stop and
consider that IL white man is white man
everywhere you find him, just as truly a
negro IS Negro everywhere you find him
Let tn Negro take newspapers fr Dm their lead
ing men who Will constantly advise them on
subjects ofinterest, In the cities and towns
tle Negroes ought to be conducting their own
stores and have the own undertaker's estab-
1shlnent and bury their own dead marvel
that such things have not been going iu
savannah for years, Why grumble tnat the
white man will not let you drink soda with
him? Way not club together and have a soda
fountain of your own? The white man himself
would have more respect for you If you would
pursue course lire this If you are refused
the sale OF one thing, should you have tn
manhood to refuse to buy everything from
such places you would force respect as you can
not get by grumbllng. Ii one of us cannot
operate business let a Thousand OF us come
toge her and do it. Yea, let us do 1t, II 1t re-
gu res the race Ia a man to do II. This Is the
politics am interested In and this is the party
which belong You may call IL Republican
Democrat, Conservative, independent, r o.
that is the right name to call It. Until we do
sOme hing like tails. we will not look 70" 'ecog-
nitiod, evil rights and respect until our eyes
grow dim with age and then die without the
sight. Wk have too m"ch faith. We have been
waiting for Providence TO do 1t all for us.
Provide ice does only that for us which we can
not DO for ourselves. we are thrown In the
wo Id on our own resources and we must root
or die poor. No political party is going 10 adj
just he social question between the races in
this country After all of the blood shed add
h that "a hoau tnopuhQra6 that
question will rave to be left Jake Care OF
Itself. We must settle it here 1t is a home
question, let us bury it in its natal soil. Ih
Negroes are in the South and 1t is the besi
place for them They can get employment
he e the whole year round, and the climate is
never so that they can't find some sort OI
wOtk to do, aud there is always some one MA,
wa Its TO HI G them. 1t Is trre the wages
small. bnt Is they wilt keep knocking at 1t, II
will coA.t mp by aud by. Whv, my friends
just think OF 1t, If a man VIII only save five
cents Gay in one yea he would have saved
eighteen Dolla.s and twenty hvO cents, and
i'll TWEEN. y-two years he would have saved fouI
hu IdreG, one dollars and fifty GEMS. There
are plen,y of Us that have not Four Hundred
One Dollars and Fifty GEMS aud hence have
not saved five cents a day. 1t can hardly be
questioned that anybody " no Is able 10 work a.
al, s. a0le 10 save just five GEMS day. Can
+ eople expect recognition and respect az being
great who do not save five cents Gay? tell
you my friends, If you want to help rule the
country, you must help own IL. This Is the
lesson that We should have learned long since,
i'eople Will respect us for what We prove that
we ale. We can demand respect only upon
cal worth
