more than had been imported. of this
sum the cotton of the South AMOUNTED

to the cotton crop than. 10 any other

SOME PEOPLE in the northern portion

ling the truth of what was apparent to
residents Of the southern country forty
wars ago. Charles Francis Adams In an
article in the Century Magazine of a

Looking about me among Africans m

can environment to which have been
accustomed--th scales fell from my
ewes. found myself most impressed by
a realizing sense of the appalling amount
Of error and cant in which we OF the
United States have INDUCED on this
tonic Ithe African in America. We
have actually walIowed in a bog of self
sufficient ignorance-especially we phil
qnthropists and theorists OF New Eng
land. We do so still. Having eyes we
do not see. Even now we not inire-
ouently hear the successor to The abo-
lilionist aud humanitarian Of the ante
civil war period the "Uncle Tom"
p,riod-annOunce that the difference be-
tween the white man and the black
man is much less considerable than
is ordinarily supposed, and that the
only real obstacle in the negro's way is
that che has never been given chance. ="
For myself, after visiting the black man
in his own hOus,, come back with a
decided impression that this is the sheer

of rudimeulary facts; yet built upon II

while one thing is clear The work

the work done in utter ignorance OF eth

slterable fact. Starting the movement
wrong, it will yet be productive OF in-
calculable injury to US. The negro after
emancipation should have been dealt
