acter as nothing else has or can
White men placed in the negroes' Pc
s ticg in thsse cases would easily have
avoided friction. That the negro suf-
fered, was due not to the wrong atti-
tude tf his opponents, but to his own
utter ignorance of the principles in
volved in his conduct Add to this
the white mans ignorance of the ne
gro nature, and the only surprise is
that matters were not more serious
than they were.
With all his two centuries Of civil
z ton, the negro, excepting in rare
instances, is still child in the school
of civilized life. Like the normal child
his wants loom large on his mental
vision, and like the child, also, he can
see no reason, when the opportunity
presents itself for gratifying those
wants, why he should not do so.
Now that the negro is coming into
competition with northern labor, it
will be well for the northern people to
gain a more correct knowledge of the
negro nature. The men who deliber-
ately throw masses of negroes in COM
petition with white laborers are acting
with an inter disregard for the inter-
ests of both these classes of labor.
Neither now understands the other.
Given time and opportunity to har-
monte their views and arrive at a
clear understanding of the rights of
each, their relations will be as pleas
ant as they are and have always been
in the south, where each class knows
and thoroughly appreciates the good
qualities of the other.
