The Negro in the South.
NO. II.

When closing my last article on the
evitable conclusion that the negro, as
general thing, was not yet prepared
to hold the reigns of government; that
he needed to go through a preparatory
state by following the legitimate pur-
suits of life until, by the advantage of
time, the acquisition of wealth, of
knowledge and the power which nee
essarily accompanies them he, the ne
gro, would become able to fill accept
ably the position of citizen.
GA mans learning,n says David :,
twill make room for him and bring
him before the great men of the ma
tion.n acknowledge is power" says
another. ''Among all of your gettings
get wisdom, get understanding" [
also closed with the thought that there
was great danger in the negro's pres
ent persistent efforts to force himself
or the man of his choice into office
against the will and protest of those
who own, at least, ninety-nlne per
cent. Of the property. both real and
personal, and who have controlled
matters in the South since the days Of
fernando De Soto. Frederick Doug
las said in one of his speeches, "That
the negro, after the war, was sudden
IL elevated to the dizzy he ght OF citi
zenship, but was not able to maintain
himself in that high and eXaulted

that, while there We're many things
that were shameful for him to do, it
was not ALWAYS expedient that he
should do them. "If eating meat, y

the earth shall stand" cit is hard for

NUMBER 80.

thee to kick against the pricks,n said
the Savior to Paul.
1t may be seen from the above state
ments that l do not hold that it is not
lawful for the negro to enjoy the priv
ileges of citizenship, for I agree with
opinion, tThat all men are created
equal; that they sre endowed by their
! Creator with certain unalienable
rights: that among these are life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness.n
1t may also be seen that [ am not OF
the opinion that the negro is void OF
native talent and that he is not sus-
ceptible of culture and intellectual
growth, for it is fact-though not a
creditable one-that within the veins
of the negro flows some of the best
blood of the South. This blood is and
will assert itself, Notwithstanding it
courses through the veins of one who
is classed as negro. The people of
the South are simply reaping what
they have sown.
"We reap what we sow, O wonderful truth,
A truth hard TO be learned in the day S of our
youth,
But it stands out at last like the hand on the
wall,
/ The world bas its credit and debt for ALL"
What can be done then in order to
avoid the danger? To solve the prob
lem and to adjust the matter properly?
In contest with the pale faces, our
Sitting Bulls, our Red Clouds and our
King Philips are invariably killed!
and their badly wors ted bands are
driven back to their reservations to
await the coming of another 'tOffice-
'sis this the way to solve the negro
problem?n Does it pay?
The solution of the problem is not
annihilation, immigration, coloniza-
ton, the fast increase Of the negro
population of the South nor does it lie
in general exodus of the negro from
the South. 1t will do neither the race
nor the country any good to look to
legislation for a remedy. No "Civil
Rights" Or "Force Bills" will be rec
ognized as proper remedy for the fast
growing cancer of dissatisfaction
among the people of the South. The
quartering of soldiers in the South
will prove but a temporary panacea
for the pain of discord, which Is fast
paralyzing the nerves of patience, rea-
son, sympathy and for bearance. Hence
the time of the final issue between the
contending forces, by any of the above
false themes or schemes can simply
be prolonged, but not finally avoid.
When the final issue comes, for come
| 1t will, if things continue much long
er, as they are now in the South, the
negro, fear will lose all the ground
that he has gained and, in thousands
of instances, they will lose life and
property, their all. Should this ap-
palling disaster come, the day Of the
| final success of the race in the South
will be indefinitely postponed.
In my next I will discuss another
phase the question and will attempt
to give the steps by which a proper
solution of the vexed question may be
reached. G. A. NJ.

A Good Platform.

In view Of the fact that many men,
bers OF the F. A. & l.. Z. cannot con.
scientiously subscribe to the platform
| adopted a t St. Louis and reaffirn al
Ocala, allow me to suggest the follow
ing propositions for discussion with a
view to their future adoption:
NATIONAL REFOMs.
The payment of U. S. bonds, as fast
as they fall within the minimum period
at which the government has the op-
| ton of national banks as fast as their
securities mature.
The submission of constitutional
amendments to.--
a. Fix the weight and firmn ess OF
coin at 25 $40 grains of gold, nine.
tenths fine to the dollar. and silver
in the ratio of sixteen to one of gold.
(2.) Securing the free coinage of all
metals used as coin.
49, Prohibiting the issue of paper
substitutes for money, bonds, or other
forms of public Indebtedness without
the consent of popular majority.
a. Forbidding the enforcement OF
private contracts, or the collection OF
private debts at law.
(5.) Requiring that all businesses
necessitating an exercise Of the right
of eminent domain be prosecuted by
state.
TO- Freeing commerce and exchange
from all taxes and tariffs.
a. The popular election of senators.
81 The referendum, or popular veto
in place Of the executive veto except
with reference to regular and ordi airy
appropriations.
(9.) Fixing a basis of representation
on ratio between population and tax
alton.
STATE REFORMS.
The Australian system of voting.
Forbidding that any product Of la
Dor shalt be made subject of tnxation.
Assuring the reserved right of the
people to the full rental value of land
for the purpose of revenue.
OF course the ref,rms here proposed
are radical; but we must remem bs r
that all attempts at self govert ment
| have been failures; that ours, so far, is
no exception to the rule; hence only
! radical changes can do us any good
Some OF these propositions are tie re-
verse of those commonly put for ward
as remedies lor present evils. but they
will bear examination. Remember
we have to answer the riddle of the
! Sphinx-aot To answer means TO he de-
| stroveG. In writing these [ have kept
in view the Scriptural injunctious:-
First seek ye the kingdom OF God, anu
all these things shall be added unto
| you" Care has been taken, after years
! Of study, to put every measure in ac-
cord with that natural right and JUS
tice which obtains in the Kingdom of
God, ard secures right doing and JUS
tee among men. FARMER.
