Not that the white man has any
fear or jealousy of the power OF the
black man, or any wish TO keep him
in a state of restraint or Tepr eSSiOn;
but it is true, through all past history
| that the negro race has never governed
in a country where the white race is in
the majority or even where it is found
in considerable numbers.
"In all ages of which we have his
| torical records the negro race has
occupied central and southern Africa,
and they have made no real effort to
exercise authority over races or nations
that have occupied northern Africa or
western Asia or southern Europe. They
have been at all times free to migrate
to southern Europe, and have been
protected by the laws while residing
In those countries. Yet in all that vast
and attractive region there are prob.
ably fewer negroes than can be found
in a single county in Alabama, while
all southern Africa is now practically
ruled by white men.
I'VE may have different theories on
which we account for these facts. but
the facts remain, and they show the
practical impossibility OF the real ad-
