EMANCIPATIoN pAY.


OST FOkTY-ONE YEARS AGO
J yesterdn~ Presideht Abraham Lin
coin published to the world docu-
ment which was beyond question the
most important state paper ever is
sued from the executive mansion at
Washington. 1t was the emancipation
proclamation. Yesterday the anniver-
sary was celebrated everywhere by for
H1er slaves and the descendants OF
former slaves.
while the emancipation of the slaves
may be said to datesfrom Sept. p. 1862.
on rather from Jan /. 1888. the latter
date being the one on which the proc
lamation took effect, the slaves were
really freed at the outbreak of the
civil war. That is, the blacks who
were able TO make their way NORTH
ward were not returned, nor were any
serious efforts made to return them.
The south was too busy fighting its
battles, and the north was not dis
posed 70 send the fugitives back, even
II had had time 90 bother with
them.
Inc emancipation proclamation was
a war measure, pure and simple not
humanitarian measure. as so many
people have fallen into the error OF
considering il. The documenI spe-
officially and distinctly provided thac
'on the LIST day Of January, IN the
year Of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and sixty three an persons
held as slaves within any state or-any
designated part of a state. the people
whereof shall then be in rebellion
against the United States, shall be
then, thencefOrward and forever free. "
.-- IS a wen known fact that at the
time the proclamation. was issued there
was considerable opposition i'm the
north to giving the slaves their tree
dom. The terms of the proclamation
silenced this opposition instantly II
the proclamation were not to take ef-
feet until Jan. l. more than three
months later. and then only in such
states and parts of states as. were in
open rebellion against the United
States, no criticism could be offered.
The humanitarians were pleased with
the proclamation for they recognized
the fact that its ultimate effect would
be TO free the negroes. and If its sole
purpose had been the humanitarian
purpose, with the perspective we now
have the whole nation could join in
unqualified approval. The proclama-
ton was the best kind of politics, in
addition TO being a good war ana hui
manitarian measure. 1t put the south
in the attitude of lighting for the in
stitutOn OF slavery
While this is not true, while the
south fought for the principle of states
rights. including the right to. secede,
with the emancipation proclamation
before the people of the north it was
easy to Justify the fight for the slavery
theory. But no matter what was be
hind the issuance of this document
that has become immortal the fact re-
mains that through it legalized slavery
was abolished in the United States and
the flag has ever since waved over a
people free in fact as well as in name.
