Bund ing better than they knetv, their hands achieved a work that higher race could not have pel formed- When the time was ripe, when the task was done, their condition of life was ohauged by the stroke of a pen, and the cbfored millions were confronted by duties of which they had no conception, and by industrial limitations aud restrictions for which they wera wholly unprepar ed. A period of riot and debauchery is followed by a period Of #ood govern ment and peace. But deep down In the hearts Of those who fell, deep seated in the brain of those who thought,,was the sad conviction that, in the .iWaggle for life, the fittest must survive, and that thfeT&'U no place for the IreedmaA on rho*vast continent of Amerloa. This conviction Is formula ted and cryatalfeed io the project for a .general emigration to Africa. It la the key to the enthusiasm, the burning zeal, with which the colored people enter iuto the Liberian movement. It is born of their fears and bfeceseities, as they undersl&nd them. They look to Africa as the exile longs for home. And their trust is that they will be able, la that wfid land, to create a sim ulacrum of Amer'can civilization, being there the superior race, as her® they must always remain tie lowest In the sPCtal Scale.
