The Drift of Negro Population to the
Northern Cities—Rev. Silas X.
Floyd’s Sensible Emancipation Day
Speech at Louisville, Ga.
Louisville, Ga., Jan. 1.—Rev. Silas
X. Floyd, D. D„ a negro school teach
er from Augusta, delivered the eman
cipation address hero today to the
colored people. He spoke on the ‘‘Ne
gro In the North and in the South,”
and his speech ought to be read hy
ill the colored people. Among other
things, he said:
‘‘During the past ten years there
has been a large and ever-increasing
exodus of colored people from the
South to the North. Today Washing
ton city has a population of more
than 80,702 negroes. Baltimore comes
next, according to the census of 1900,
with a population o: 73,258 negroes.
Philadelphia has G2.G13, and Greater
New York has Gft.GGG.’ Now, if we
class Washington and Baltimore as
Northern cities, and they are such to
all practical purposes, there is only
one Southern city—New Orleans—
which has a negr* population larger
than the negro population, of Phila
delphia or New York, and New Or
leans has a smaller population of ne
groes than either Washington or Bal
timore. Unmistakably the negro Is
drifting northward, and it is estimated
that if Philadelphia maintains its
present ratio of gain it will have a
larger negro population than Wash
ington city when the next census Is
taken in 1910.
“Unmistakably the negro is drifting
to the North, and there are unques
tionably thousands and thousands of
negroes throughout the South who
have come to regard the North as a
haven o ; rest, or a refuge for the op
pressed. To them going to Philadel
phia or New York, or Boston seems
like going to heaven, where the streets
will be paved with gold and where all
will be music and flowers! But I tell
you frankly that the negroes who be
lieve such things are woefully deceiv
ed and fenrfully deluded. I tell you
unhesitatingly that the majority of
those who hove gone from the South*
to the North have gone to worse con
ditions—from a sunny ,climo and the
fairest region that God ever smiled
upon to a cold and 'orbidding climate
when the sun seldom shines and
where the winds of prejudice blow
sharper and fiercer and more constant-
ly than ever they do in the South.
“In the South every colored person
of industry and sobriety is assured of
plenty to eat, plenty to wear, a place
to sleep, and a fairly good job. In t|io
North the majority ofi the negro pop
ulation eats In ‘soup kitchens,’ ‘hash
houses,’ or at lunch counters, because
they actually haven’t, got money
enough to afford ’squaro meals.’ They
sleep In holes In the walls, In attics
and damp cellars, and are compelled
to work for the most part at menial
employments. The negro as a skilled
laborer is unknown In the fcorth. Ho

Crowded to the Wall.
In Chicago, Roaton, Philadelphia
and New York, during tile last, ten
years the colored people hove lost
chiefly through race prejudice nearly
every occupation in which they once
had a monopoly. There Is scarcely a
first class barber^shop left in the bus
iness districts o' any one of these
cities—I mean shops for white cus
tomers with negroes as proprietors.
Nearly all of the janitors’ work has
been given to Swedes. White men and
white women have Supplanted colored
men and colored women as waiters
In nearly all of the first class hotels
and restaurants. Nearly all the shoe-
polishing Is now done by Greeks and
Italians. Negro expressmen, conch-
men, teamsters, and hacltmen are sel
dom seen. Colored men and women
are almost never ompolyed as clerks,
bookkeeers, or stenographers In busi
ness establishments. The great bulk
of tile negroes in the North aro em
ployed as domestic’servants, as Pu|l-
.man porters or as porters In stores.
Negroes who go North expecting easy
Jobs, better wages, and better times
leave a section where thero is no
competition In the larbor market to
go where labor conditions are such
as to drive them to the wall.
Denied Derfmt Living.
“But not only la work ddnled the
negro In the North—ho Is also denied
a decent plttfce In which to live. In all
the large northerr cities the negro Is
thoroughly and Biiccess ulii dolomzod,
and in the thickly settled colored
ernters you will find twenty and thir
ty families living In one house. I de
clare to you that the rooms that the
colored people live In up North are
barely big enougl- 'o turn around In;
they are poorly lighted, poorly ventil
ated, often breed disease, and some-
times bring on prenature death. Noth
ing like home life, as we know an*
understand it In the South, is possi
ble for the majority of colored people
In the North. For example, negro chil
dren have no places In which to play
exoept In narrow and dehsely crowded
streets or on house tops. Of course, ns
a rule, the negro child can go to the
same public school that the white
child attends: anil a negro can ride
anywhere he pleaseB on the street
cars and steam cars, and he Is not
compelled to. hunt for the ’roost’ In
the theaters and concert halls; but I
protest that these things are but
doubtful compensation for the loss of
a good home, with plenty of fresh air
and a big yard to clay In, and the
loss of a good Job. Do you think that
a great blessing If ho Is given a few
public rights and civil privileges,
while at the same time ho Is denied
the right of living In a good home
and Is not allowed to work at remun
erative employments and the trades?
The 8outh for the Negro.
“The South Is 'he place where we
ought to stay, and the South is the
place where the great majority of us
are going to stay. We ought, then, as
wise men, as sensible men, to he seek
lng day by day ho-v.we may Improve
our condition In the South. Ono thing
we may do to Improve our condition
Is that in all proper ways we should
seek the friendship o! the Southern
white man. The negroes and the
Southern whites are neighbors, and
they ought to be friends. It would
show tetter sense on our part to try
to be on friendly terms with the South
ern whites than to be always trying
to please some. Northern firebrand,
whether editor, teacher or preacher,
who does not live In the South and
who never expects to live In the
South.”
