III Prof. Bassett had read history with
any degree OF profit. he would have seen
that no fact has more generally been re-
ognized, by both law and religion than,
that certain races OF men have bes!.
marked. both mentally and physically
with the indelible stamp OF servitu6e.
Deane Milman, in his history OF Latin
Christianity says, In nothing is Tie
stern and Roman character Of the jus
tinian Code more manifest than in is
full recognition of slayery. Throughout
the broad distinction OF mankind INTO
treemen and slaves is the unquestIoncl,
admitted ground work of legislation. 1t
declares indeed the natural equality ot
man, and SO far IS in advance OF tie
doctrine which prevailed in the time OF
Aristotle, and is indicated by the phil
osopher, that certain races or classes OF
men are pronounced by tho unansWerablc
voice OF nature, by their physical ard
intellectual interiority, as designed tor 1EI
irI evocably doomed to servitude."
Self-intereat is imbued in the IN, Of
Il a,,1-x L1
ton is called the first law Of nature.
Not only has the Anglo-Saxon ever res
spected this law, he has so eneroachcd
upon the prerogatives Of others as 10
put barbarism to shame and c~ovetousneSs
to the blush. He is satisfied only as he
rules, and he will trample the weak Of
his own blood IN the dust. Competition
brings out all his energies and rCslstaL:a
sets his soul OH fire. He can live in peace
with his inferior, can tolerate his equal,
but submit to a superlor-nevcr. HIS
equal has to be Of his own kith and kin.
and his competitor must be Of equal
caste to hold his respect. The negro is
only tolerated now because he can and
Will work. His only safety is in labor.
The laboring negro Is OF use TO the
world, and forms a prop in the body
polite, while the educated one becomes

lucrative employnents OF the white man.
As the struggle for existence becomes
more sharply defined, and competition
more strenuous, as the educated black
~jostles the white for place, and as h.
comes by his toughness and endurance
and his fearful power OF multiplication
to cucumber the land, small favor viii
be shown him by his white-skinned
brother. The Jew has brains, energy and
a whlte-skln. He is the equal OF the
Anglo-Saxon in many respects, but work
he will not. hence be has been driven
from every country he ever occupied,
and will continue to be prosecuted until
he shares the labor Of the balance Of
mankind. To educate a negro means 10
cut off a laborer. Is it reasonable u
suppose that more leniency will be shown
to him than the jew?
Education never did and never viii
make a man better morally or re!igiously.
He Is good or bad according to his cranial
development and has opportunities for do
ing good or evil. When you educate you
only stimulate and invigorate that which
IS already in the man. In slavery days
the negro had few opportunities for evil
doing. The bent was there but his evll
desires were IN restraint. Freedom and
false teaching turned loose his passions.
his Incidence and his tendency to pag
anism. His apish trend has saved him
thus far from idolatry and human sac
rifces.
Robbie Burns never pennod a moro
truthful line when he wrote:
What though on homely fare We dine.
Wear holden gray, and a that?
Gle fools their silk, and knayes thc'!
vine,
A mans a man for "a that"
Paraphrased to fit the negro 1t might
read.
What though in college halls they
walk,
Wear savants' gowns and a that;
Gle cads their books, and let them talk,

And this is one Of the irrevocable laws
of nature, for throughout her dominions
there is a perpetual tendency TO a rever-
sIonary series, or toward some pre-exI,t-
ing form, thus, the tomato Tor instance
