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!
