table while he's doing IT, And so within
a very short time we have had this ques-

Now am going 10 say something
about f..

ut was the men Of The North that first

for one thank God that slavery has
gone from us forever. But fin dealing
with the niger now. and the danger
that he is threatening us with now. we
may not all agree.
For instance you have given him the
right OF suffrage. and as a result we Of
South Carolina have been obliged 10 use
the shotgun and the tissue paper ballot
to prevent his domination Why have
we used these things? Why. because
there are 10000 more niger voters ir
the state than there are white voters.
Are there any conditions under which
we viii permit ourselves TO be governed
by lot OF ignorant. degraded men who
know no more or government than so
many balloons?
Three months ago the President Of
the United States wrote a letter i'm
which ne said that where a negro had
qualified for public Office he was un-.
willing to shut the door OF hope in his
face. Now. i'm South Carolina and Mis-
sissippi there are 100000 more negroes
than there are whites We are cdu-
eating them. and what does 10 mcaug
Take Booker Washington OF any other
Niger and raise him as high in The
scale OF civilization as you want 20.
What are you doing when you do this?
Southern People Desperate.
'Iu tell you; you are shutting the
door OF hope I'm the face Of the white
man. You are starting 10 turn this

find enough willing 70 go into a State
run by niggors, il meaus that Soutn

now viii be bali or whole mulatto.
ITO prevent this the people of the
South are willing 20 take the bloodicst
of measures. You may believe that God
Almighty meant that the niger should
be the equal OF the white man. but YOU
can't shoot il into the man from the
South. and I assure you that you cant
vote it into him The only solution Of
this problem. my friends, is for you
people of the North to take your share
Of these niEgers. If you love them wei
enough. We viii gladly swap you three
nigEers for one good German or any
other decent white man What we Of
the South fear most is the handling of
this matter by those who do not UNI
derstand it. There ought to- be a law
compelling representatives in Congress
from the North TO spend a year in the
South and study the Niger before they
are allowed 10 vote on things concerning
him.

you have heard 10 said that I am IN
favor OF lynching law: that 1 advocate

Senator Tilman rose again and said.
Il wish q were proper TO discuss family
