color they are not even 1T for slaves"
Roman armies carried Negro soldiers
all over the known world. Black blood
was scattered broadcast. Color was
no badge OF serTitude, for cap
tives in war were sold as slaves, and
all countries OF the world had slave
markets. One thousand years ago
English children were sold Ike cattle.
Gross Breeding.
Finot says, NO special instinct has
ever prevented the varieties Of man.
kind from interblending. 1t has been
practiced since mans first appearance
on earth" The claim has been made
that cross breeding produces steriIity.
Instead 1t adds to the fruitfuness, &C
cording to lie Valiant, and many other
distinguished scientists. A glance at
the mulattoes Of the United States
and the West Indies shows no signs of
baTenness. Every historian of con-
sequence has noted the immense mix
ture Of different blood In various coun-
tries. Speaking Of Europe, a writer
says: TN no other part OF the world,
save America, is such an amalgama-
ton OF various peoples to be found
'IOngman's Geography states:
There are in India many races and
fusions OF races"
Sir Henry NJ. Stanley, speaking Of
the races he has seen, says: an all
my travels have seen nothing more
wonderful than this, that In whatever
disguise have found men, something
In him seems to justify the belief that
we are all the children Of one father"
Cole states: There are many types
Of man, but they are not radically diff
ferent, and respecting pure, unmixed
races there is not a pure unmixed
race upon the EARTH" The Jews have
held to their religion but from Father
Abraham down they have been most
generous In distributing their blood.
At one time they captured $4,000 Mid
ianitish virgins, dividing them up
among their soldiers. See Numbers,
s1st chapter"
The Nation. commenting upon the
statement that the union Of whites
and blacks was unnatural, says:
bleaching went on under slavery at
rate and with an openness which
proved that nature offered no barrier
to the union and mixtures OF the domi-
nant and subject race"
The same can be said Of Spain dur
ing fits domination by the Moors. As
Russian once said, The more we
are mixed, the more brothers we
have"
Prejudice.
The whites are growing more pref
udiced daily, which Is a sign Of pro-
gress in the black We never grow
jealous Of inferiority.
American prejudice is so great that
few ever stop to consider that hun
dreds Of thousands Of white and, black
families are blood relations. Every
day our mulattoes are crossing the
line into the white race, and the white
man is to blame. We reap what we

AmaIoamatlon.
The Hon. Theodore Tilton in a
speech at New York, in 1868, said:
The history Of the worlds civiliza-
ton is written In one word, which
many more are afraid to hear and that
is-amalagamation- Three stu
pendOus processes Of intermingling
are going forward in this country.
First, we are absorbing the Irish race;
second. we are absorbing the German
race; third, we are absorbing the Ne
gro race. A hundred years sgo a mu-

Looking Backward.
The Ethiopians were prejudiced
against the Jews.
The Jews were prejudiced against
the Egyptians.
The Romans were preiudiced
against all foreigners.
The Normans were preiudiced
against the Britons.
The MOOrs were preiudiced against
the spaniards.
The English were so preiudiced
against the Irish that a law was
passed condsmning all EngIishmen to
death who married Irish women. The
ancestors Of our whites were sold In
slavery Just as Negroes were lately
sold. History repeats itself. The Ne
