THE NEGRO PROBLEM
IN nn Article in Hnmpton,s M

In an Article in Hampton's Mag
azine for September, Harris Dickson
attempts to show rhat the negro
race in this country is vanishing. He
quotes figures to prove that in the
cities the deaths exceed the births,
and as his figures are taken from the
official records the condition of affairs
which he discloses is rather startling.
He argues from the facts he presents
that the negro problem will in the
couose of time settle itself; that the
nesrOwill die and disappear, following
the final extinction ofthe Indians and
other races which have suffered by
close contact with the whites.
While the accuracy ofDr. Dickson 5
statistics cannot be disputed the fed
eral census shows thas the whites
gained 1891 per cent between 1880
and 1890, and the negroes 1924 per
cent, but the latter of course gained
nothing by immigration. When the
next decennial enumeration is COM
pleted, it will be known whether or
not the negro is disappearing as rapid
" as Mr.. Dickson shows.
Ifhis figures shows actual conditions
in the country at large, it will hardly
be disputed that the black race is
deteriorating and degenerating.
Before the war the negroes were the
most prolific of all peoples, as a race
the strongest possibly but they were
property then and their white owners
found it to their advantage to compe,
their slaves to live up to their proper
health requirement. With emanci.
patton they were thrown upon thei,
own resources, and freedom meant
excuses. in thousands of cases, will
resultant loss Ofhealth and vitality
In antebellum days the negro wa
looked upon as practically immune t,
tuberculosis, while the disease nov
kills tens of thousands ofblacks ever,
year.
