THE NEGRO IN THE NORTH
It is a singular fact, that notwith
standing the insistence of the
Northern people that the negro
shall have equal political and social
rlghts'to the South, there is more
real social equality between the
races in the South than there 1b In
the Nohh.
’ This, will no doubt sound as
strang^ to our people as to those in
the Nfrth, for the people of the
South have never pretended to re
gard the negro as a social equal,
while those in the North have.
In the South the negro follows
nearly all the avocations open to
man. He is a merchant, a farmer,
a teacher, a preacher, a carpenter,
a mason, blacksmith, teamster,
painter,’ plasterer, printer, editor,
lawyer, legislator. His right to en
gage Is all the usual avocations of
man iffinot only recognized, but be
is patrdnlzed In them by tbe white
people* In the various trades the
negro and the white man may be
seen employed together on the same
building and in the same shop.
In the North there are few avo
cations open to the negro outside of
barberiug, boot-blacking, waiting
on tbe table, and sometimes as
coachman. A skilled negro work
man Is a rarity, for tbe reason that
if a negro is put in a shop or on a
building the white men strike
against it and notify tbe employer
that either the-negro or they must
yield, and Instances are not rare
where negroes have been forced by
personal violence to leave tbe work
upon wjilch they were engaged.
In the South, while the social line
is distinctly marked between the
two races, there is free and kindly
Intercourse. No white man is
ashamed to slop and talk with a
negro and inquire kindly as to his
welfare, or stop his work and give
him any information he may desire.
In a store he Is given the Bame con
sideration as any other customer.
The white mah is invariably ap
pealed to by the negro when he gets
into trouble, abd it is rare that his
appeal is denied.
In the North there is very little
Intercourse between the blaeks and
whites. Where there are any great
number of negroes they seem to
themselves, and have long since
learned that when In trouble they
muBt depend upon themselves. He
Is not allowed to stop at the hotels
or take a front seat at places of
amusement. If be goes to ohuroh
he Is given a seat in the corner.
Altogether he is treated as of an
other class, not socially equal.
In truth, the negro Is accorded
more social rights In the South
than in the North, and he has more
opportunities of acquiring a fortune
and ot making a useful and self-
respecting citizen. >
