wore men who expected that thing
The bii he said contemplated q graduG!.
orderly voluntary movement Of ooiored people
out az The Southern states, and provided that
the Government should enable them 70 - 80.
There nothing "a the blu that would oocroe
or compel the negro 10 move. While the negroes
remained In large masses and exceeded
10 numbers their white neghbors not only
did the negroes not advance IN the scale OF civ
iligaiiou. but actually rstrogF lie be
heVed that II tho Government would a. is duty
by the negro instead OF coaching him snd con
fusing him with civil rights and empty statutes
it should send him 10 AfTloG 10 iuuEinc The
dark continent OF hrs fathers with the light Of
Christianity and law.
Senator Hoar Mass replied 10 Sena-
tor Butler. In brief his remarks were
as follows:
This proposition the most astonishing
that had ever been heard IN the legislative has-
tory 90 the Senate or in the legislative history
o. any free, civilized aad prosperous people.
From al cimes under the snu the lsbOrcrs
were thropging all the one way in their
eager desire 20 share the harvest of
National prosperity and National glory. And
yet ia the Senate OF the United States . propo-
sitiOu was made that ey the force OF the Ma
tiou, aided by It's Treasury. 5000 90 lKOorerS,
born or American soil every one o. them enti-
tleo 10 every right. were 10 oe oeported 70 what
the Senator had Justly styled the DARK
regionof the dark continent. and which 80 spite
Of the recent explorations OF their illustrious
feiiow-cltizeus, was less known 10 tbs reader.
Of history e day than il was when The father of
history attempted the description % - 200 years
before the birth Of Christ Senator Hoar psid
. high compliment TO eN Senator Bruce.
Of Mississippi. and 10 the eight or ten coioreo
men who had sat in the House O. Represents
tives for several years. and declared that there
could have been no better examples OF ne leg
islative character. for purity cf conduct for
soundness OF judgment and for ability In
debate than the representatives OF that race.
AZ was not, therefore. that the cOercd race
could not be made ft for freedom that the
proposition was made, but simply Oh the
ground that the nature OF things. or tie nature
o. man, was such that men of rereni races
and especially OF different oomplebI0ns
could not live together in harmony sno
peace and freedom and honor under the laws o.
this republic. II that were true then The dee
lsrstion OF independence was lie. then the
constitution Of the United States and the COZ
stitutions o. every American State rested on
rottenness; then was the Christian rel 4 ou.
which taught humanity, equality. and that
God made of one blood al nations q Tue
earth" bat solemn mockcTy. q solemn false
hood. The question had never been tired and
there wes 40 right 20 ask q single eolorrc man
10 turn his back upon this country or upon
asy community ~ Il untN he had been giveu
his opportunities o. Citizenship under the same
conditions as are absolutely necessary for white
men.
