are due almost solely 20 the fact that

would likewise invite still further
persecution of the race in the South
by that element who delight ia gaug-
ing their persecution of the Negro
by the helplessness of his position
And Notwithstanding the fact that
You proclaim that the South is the
place for the Negro, you seem to
forget that IL is a common occurrence
for entire communities OF Negroes to
be driven, like beasts, from their
homes in various parts OF the South
Tor no other purpose than 10 satisfy
the erradc passions OF a sOulless ele-
ement OF people. Only one week ago
In the State of Georgia, several col
ored people were killed, for no an
parent reason, while many others
were maltreated and intimidated
and driven from their homes and the
accumulations Of a life time, and the
colored population OF the entire
county warned to leave, and never
return. At last accounts, nothing
seemed to worry this community of
coiored people so much as the fact
that they were born with legs. in
stead OF wings. No one knows better
than you that such unreasonable
outbreaks as this, are likely to oc-
cur at any time, and IN almost anv
part of the South. But according TO
your logic, the Negro. after being
forced TO leave the North for the
South, where he belongs, would.
IN the face Of such outbreaks, find
succor only by fleeing, like a hunted
Deast, to some other Southern com
nunity, and when the same trouble
found him In such a community, he
could search for still other parts.

of my argument, which has been
brought TO your attention on more
than one occasion, is that colored

Election. The hotels which gave en-
ployment 20 hundreds of Negroes in
Providence. doubtless represent an
investment OF millions OF dollars.
Surprising that this army OF colored
walters had the means (Which they
have mott and had the ability (Which
they have mott TO establish just one
such hotel as those which employed
them, and supposing that there were
a demand among housekeeping and
home-staying colored people for such
a hotel (which there is not), from
what source would these hundreds
of colored walters, now turned pro-
prietors OF one hotel, obtain the hun
dreds of dollars which came to them
every week as waiters2 il requires
no argument TO prove that death
would be the only portion OF these
walters were they forced to rely on
any such a method OF living. The
same reasoning applies TO any other
avOcatiOn. When colored people are
displaced from any kind OF employ
ment, and no corresponding 0ppor-
tunities are opened to them, they
suffer a grave economic loss which
the race, with its limited resources
and opportunities, will find II alb
sOlutely impossible to meet.
You say that in whatever capacity
you are denied recognition in the
South, you establish a corresponding
business for yourself That is not
proof that you are not placed at a
great economic disadvantage in be-
ing segregated along industrial lines.
IL must be admitted that Southern
colored people have far out-stripped
their Northern brothers in the evolv-
ing OF opportunities, and 1t must also
be admitted that the tendency in
the South TO shove them aside along
certain lines has greatly stimulated
their independent Industrial develop
ment. But permit me to say that you
greatly deceive yourself II you as
sumo by this that Negroes are in any
way able TO exist in this country
while being even largely excluded
from the resources and opportuni-
ties which are almost completely
dominated by white men. No better
PROOF Of this is needed than the
patent fact that were white people

argument. to discharge their thou
