A Striking and Truthful Comparison Drawn hy a Neg ?ro. 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.

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.
