NORTHERN VS. SOUTHERN
CANT ANENT THE NEGRO
"Cant Is useful to provoke common
tense,'' salth Mr. Emerson: vet while
Northern cant about the negro has
quicksned ths Southern perception to a
very lively appreciation of Northern
Inconsistency and selfishness, there
does not appear to have come as yet to
the Southern mind any Illuminating
sense of a corresponding Inconsistency
and selfishness In the Southern attitude
on the question, which a little honest
Introspection would reveal.
From a recent thought Interchange
between the editors of The Atlanta
Georgian and The Charleston News
and Courier, I not- the encouraging
fact that It has at last dawned upon
these distinguished exponents of South
ern thought that the simplest and
easiest way for the South to solve her
negro problem la to divide her black
population with the people of the North.
For years, through various published
articles, 1 have aOvocated thle expe
dient as affording the only peaceable
way out of the difficulty for the South,
and as It seemed to me eminently fit
ting a Southern woman should do—
since It Is upon the women and children
of the South that race heaillltr,ct|1ml-
natlng In race conflict, would fall moat
cruelly—yet thus far my preachment
has fallen upon deaf ears.
Although this Is manifestly the only
practical way of making ths question
national, or of obtaining any broad,
patriotic consideration of It, though
thus only can we ever hope to get the
benefit of the best Northern wlsdotn
and Northern resurces In Its ultimate
settlement; although, upon the admls.
■Ion, not only of intelligent and fair,
minded Northerners, but even of the
shrewdest .and most far-seeing of the
negroes, this expedient would result In
eliminating the negro from national
politic*—a desideratum which South
erners (tre now vainly clamoring for—
the South for thirty years has refused
t" nvatl Of tills very simple and
obvious remedy. And even now, when
the aforesaid editors are agreed In
yielding their Intellectual assent to the
proposition that ‘it Is very much to our
Interest, both for industrial and polltl
cal reasons, that th* eurplue of our ne
J ro population should go North." It
oes not appear to oceur to either of
them that the South has anything to
do In the matter; but they have both
fellen Into the very common humtn In-
flrmlty of blaming th* unequal distri
bution of the negroes upon ths North
ern half of our country. Now, I have
no wish to be hard upon a "human In
firmity," knowing we are all under a
similar Indictment In this respect, but
I respectfully submit that If we are
ever to obtain a national consideration
and a national settlement of this ques
tion. w* must approach It In a national
spirit; If we expect to unify Anglo-
Saxon sentiment In ever}- part of the
country to deal with this problem as a
race Issue. Ignoring'It* sectional and
political complications, which Is our
only hop* for a wise and amicable set
tlement. w* giust meet the Northern
Anglo-Saxon who Is willing to stand
with us for the purity and Integrity of
our rare, In a spirit of frankness and
fairness, to cease oil sectional recrimi
nation, and evince at- least as much
willingness to admit our own short
comings and inconsistencies as prompt
itude In pointing out Northern respon
sibility for our woes.
The editor or The News and Courier
evidently thinks the chief. If not the
only, obstacle In the way of reducing
th* South's negro population by scat
tering them over tho rest of the coun
try. Is the North's Industrial boycott
■gainst th* negro, but of what avail
does The News and Courier think the
removal of this boycott would be while
Southern farmers and politicians,
southern men of affairs, are constantly
proclaiming througn the press and from
the rostrum, that the South .prefers
this negro labor and finds It best
adapted to her needs? Has not the
sum‘total of Southern eenttment and
opinion found expression In one fatu
ous prayer to th* North, that "th#
8outh be left alone with the negroea?”
How can Th* News and Courier argue
that the North should offer sny Induce,
ment to the negroes to come North,
when In the light of Southern expres
sions, there Is ample reason to believe
that any such offer would be promptly
denounced as “outside Interference"
with the ''Southerner’s problem!"
The editor of The Georgian says:
“Any suggestion made In the 8outh to
encourage or to expert any considerable
number of negroes to any Northern or
Eastern city is received with fiery In
dignation and with furious protest." I
can not afflrm, of coufst, aa to The
Georgian's Information on this head. I
can only testify that In a four years’
residence In Washington City, where 1
have met and conversed freely on this
subject with persons from every por
tion of the North, 1 have never beard
from any Northern source any such
'fiery Indignation or furious prottst.”
On ths contrary, when I have com
munlcated to them—as I never fall te
do—this method of settling ths race
problem, they have invariably replied,
with a significant smile—maddening
In It* unflattering suggestion: “You
are eminently right In thinking this
would brine about a speedy settle
ment. but do you think the Southern
people could ever be Induced to give
up the negroes ?" end I am thrown
back upon the mortifying conscious
ness that Northerner* think we are
not smart enough to tum their own
weapon against them, thet their opinion
of us is summarised in oeneral Oram's
view of the Democratic party—that It
"could always b* relied upon to blun
der." Yet though 1 have never heard
of any "furloua protest" from th* North
against receiving th* negroes—though
I am quite sure they don't want them
—I do know, and the editor of The
Georgian can not be Ignorant of the
fact, that when a movement has been
made for taking negroes from th*
South. Southern legislatures have
passed stringent laws forbidding their
removal. How can we expect the North
and the outside world In general to
believe what ws say about the ne
gro a* a “menace." and a “problem."
when w* show such obstinate re
luctance to part with our “menace" and
our "problem 7" And while we are In
is that, "the South needs the negro's
labor and can't get along without It”
Without attempting to reply to this—
which I could never do patlently
enough—I merely call attention to the
fact, that even If this economic justi
fication were eustalned by the figures.
It does not relieve the Southern white
man from the charge of sacrificing th*
higher to the lower, which I believe
Is the Indictment we have been so
scornfully hurling agllnst Northern
ers for a generation or so; and further
that the statisticians mercilessly knock
the props from under even this plea
for Southern Inertia and greed.
Mr. Norman Walker, of New Orleans,
speaking of rice and Cotton cult'lva-
tlon. says: “Nearly two-thirds of th*
rice produced In tho United States Is
grown In Louisiana, and Is altogether
the production of While labor; the ne
groes ere not responsible for 6 per
cent of It. and In the rice districts they
constitute less than 20 per cent of the
population. • • • Out of eighteen
counties In the South producing over
60.000 bates of cotton each, fifteen are
whit* counties. In which an overwhelm
ing majority of the population and of
farm laborer* Is white.” In the light of
these statistic!, of undoubted reliabil
ity. the Southerners who are advocating
the negro's retention In the South, and
opposing hts departure, mual hunt up
tome other excuse for It than his In
dustrial value to this section. Stripped
of all superfluous verbiage and canting
retence. the difference between the
. orthrrn and Southern attitude toward
the negro, le briefly thle: Northerners
pander to the negro for the sake of his
vote, and they get It; Southerners pan
der to him for th* sake of his labor,
and thsy don't get It. I cannot assume
to differentiate between the Northern
and Southern patriotism In the mat
ter. but I do know which of the two
has greatest reason to feel com
placent over the outcome.
And now that Southern fatuity has
accomplished Its perfect work, and
borne Its logical fruit, of rendering the
negro-well-nigh worthless as labor by
allowing him undisputed poeseaslon of
the Southern industrial field. In our
sore Industrial straits ws are still re
fusing to apply the moat obvious rem
edy: but In,our old Illogical way we
are trying to work the cert before the
horse In our Immigration schemes.
Being only a woman. 1 ran not make
- bold ■■ to advance any economic
Ideas of my own, but perhaps I may be
permitted to offer a few economic
crumbs m-hlch have fallen to me from
masculine tables. I have learned from
certain male economics that capital,
enterprise ,*nd the most desirable clase
of labor naturally flow to that region
having the greatest amount of unde
veloped wealth, unless there le eome
logical obstruction, some forbidding
specter at the door to warn them away.
We do not need to go far to find the
specter at the Southern door, nor need
we be In any doubt about Ite color. To
reach acrosa the seas for labor with
one hand while with the other we are
■till gripping aa. tightly as ever the
specter which has frightened this labor
off for forty years, seems to me a little
absurd, though, of course, this Is only a
woman’s point of vie*', which Is never
worth serious masculine consideration.
If alongside our Immigration bureaus
we would establish emigration bu
reaus whose avowed object should be
to stimulate the outflow of the blacks
as the former seek to encourage the In
flow of the whites: If we would create
an exodus fund, and out of It offer
free transportation to any point In the
North and northwest to any negro who
would accept It; It not one negro
availed himself of the trip, the bare
fast that such a fund existed and the
advertisement which Its existence
would make to the North and to the
outside world, that the South had
changed front on th* negro as an In
dustrial factor, would be of Incalcula
ble value to the South, and I do assure
you, ns one who has been In a position
to get “Inside Information." that th*
news of such a step upon the part of
the South would “talk" more eloquently
to the Caucasian dwellers In the
Northern half of this country than all
the Southern orators from Ben Hill to
Ben Tillman!

Can we wonder that the disinterested

Is perplexed end Incredulous? and
that Southern testimony on the "ques
