future prosperity to result, Is.

chances of negro domination be-
comes more remote. The negro
increase, relative to the white. Is
topic on which there is a slngu-
lar difference ofiuteIpgentopiulon
In slavery times, it IS generally
agreed, the negro multiplied more
rapidly than the whites, and in
1865, therefore, the fear of his MI
innate domination was founded on
experience. Up to 1880 this ap
parent gain continued, but the last
quarter of century has strongly
induced an opposite belief BE-
tween 1890 and 1900 the white ma
iority in the ten most distinctyeIY
Southern States has increased 10y
over million, and in every State
except Mississippi the margin of
safety for the white supremacy
increased, The increase Of the
blacks had gone down from 50 per
cent to 11.3 per decade, while the
whites remained at 20; the eXpla
nation probably being in the faul-
ty census of 1870. immigration
