was the aDollt1On OF slavery wise?
The first point to consider in this
query is the slaves themselves. The
negroes have not sufficient sense to
govern themselves, and, therefore,
they need guardians. For example:
We know Of the negro man who was
shot by another negro last Nav
when both parcics wcYn ~Gturumg

white people were forced to arrest
the men and to try the case. Since
the white people are compelled to
govern the negroes, and to prevent
them from butchcring each other, do
YOU not think that the white man
should have the privilege Of using
the negro as he pleases, or, in other
words, the right 10 hold the negro
in bondage?
ask you, in your Imagination, to
take trip with me to one OF the old
Southern plantations and to see the
well-fed negroes, in their clean,
whitewashed cabins, singing the old
coon songs and thoroughly enjoying
the work they are doing for "Marsta"
and "Missus." Is this not a pleasant
picture? In contrast to this, I now
ask you to take trip with me to
one of the negro villages of to-day.
what do we see there? We see the
hungry negroes in dirty huts, un-
clean clothing, and, instead of sing
ing, they are scolding each other
and cursing their fortunes. Is this
a pleasant picture? Have I not
proven to you, by these two word
pictures, that the negro was hap
pier and better cared for as a slave
than he Is to-day? The negro's mot
to is: "Live to-day, for tomorrow

Zen
me slaves were certainly not mis-
treated because a fierce, harsh and
cXact1ng master or mistress was
rarely, If ever, found. In fact. q
noted historian says that the black
man was better treated by the South
erners who held him as q slave than
by the Northcrners, who regarded
him as a free man; that in none of
the Northern States did he enioy the
full rights Of a citizen; that in
very few was he allowed to vote or
to appear as n witness in court; and
that he was flogged If he was seen
on the streets after 8 o'clock at
night. This historian also states
that in the Northern States educa-
ton was denied the negro and most
cmployments were closed to him
AS another proof that the negro
as a slave was better cared for than
the negro of to-day, consider the
diseases Of negroes to-day. In the
ante-bellum days did we ever hear
OF such diseases as tuberculosis,
among the negroes? No, we did
not, and to-day thousands OF them
are dying from this and other dis

eases caused by unsanitary surround.

| To-day the negro Is a greater ex-
pense to the government than he
was prior to 1861. Before that time
the expense of educating the ne
groes was borne by private individ-
uals. To-day it Is borne by the gov
ernment. Before slavery was abol-
ished there were no negroes in the
penitentiaries and asylums, and to-
day these places are crowded with
them. There is another illustration
OF the fact that the negroes are
crowding the white people out Of
their public buildings.
1t is right to hold the, negro in
| bondage because he is naturally the
inferior Of the white man. Can you
show me country on the globe in
habited by two races, of which the
negro is one, where the negro is the
superior race? The negro Is a
| moral and intellectual pauper He
has never had, has not, or never will
have, anything except what Is given
| him by the white man. Can any one
| name an invention or science
| which the negro has been the first
to disclose? But above all rights to
hold slaves Is the recognition Of
slavery in the Bible. Colossians
| lll:22 reads: Servants, obey in all
| things your masters according to the
flesh.' Opponents, can you find
| passage which speaks against slav-
cry? Can you contend that, as
Christians, it is unjust for the peo-
pie OF America to own slaves. The
negro is only domesticated. If the
white people had never interested
themselves in him, he would be as
wild as the animals Of the African
| jungles. AS q recompense for their
great work and trouble, do you mot
think that the white race should
have the privilege Of using the ne
gro as they please, instead Of the
privilege of being ruled and crowded
out of their homes by him?
Next, let us consider why the
slaves were freed. But first let us
find out how the ordinance of slav-
cry was instituted in America. The

All the same. they were trudging

Their baskets were empty, and, to

AS they entered the little village a
