Negro (applause) God never made him
out Of as good clay as ne made me.
What is your African ever done? What
Is his achievements? What has he
done! Absolutely nothing. He has
been burden of the white man since
81, he has never wrote a language, he
has never built a city, accept of bam-
boo and straw. This people has been
picked out by the fanatics of the
north, with the attempt to make them
our equal; what excuse for 1t why
deal with this man different than the
ether three races. And IT has been
left to you smart clicks to discover
that this African is the equal of a
white man. Booker T. Washington,
he is not black man, he had a white
father you have read his book, I'M
derstand me, am not advocating sla-
very, for when a boy l saw 100000
worth Of Negro slaves march OF from
our plantation. II 1 could get back
all by singing my name to a piece Of
paper, would refuse; slavery is
dead, and 1t ought to have died, am
glad Of it. When you talk about Book
er Washington's up from barbarism
through slavery; did the idea dawn on
you then, these four million liking

not go to Africa to bring them here.
These ships were fitted out in the
new England States making traffic for
blood, putting the money in their
pockets and still they claim the right
of a white mans emancipation and a
white mans civilization. The Negro
can do a great deal to relieve the stu
alton, he can take hold in a rational
way, he should unite to control this
younger generation. I simply tell you
Of it and If you don't like 1t you don't
like it. The "Nigger, never will ex-
ercise his franchise in the south, and
as far as we know he never will ex-
exercise it. / suggest that you settle
this question by immigrating a million
or more among yourselves. And you
northerners will repeal. The Is
amendments, yourselves, will give
you in exchange 8 Niggers for one

man or any old white man, We don't
do as you dirty politicians do stoop
to the infamy of putting a Niger
on the ticket and then counting him
out. AS to burning, am against any
man being burned, but when our wo-
men are attacked, as was done In At
lanta, the beastly nature just peals
OF. / don't know but too burnings,

would do. Instead of lynching inno-
