wise learned in two generations, C and lrom whiou it will take him g Beveral generations to recover, if k ijJ.aU ; and it has made the tasK w ^CJ^rorking out his ultimate sal- si wfation on a high plane doubtly e hard. Every succeeding Kepub- 1< lican Ailministra ion has per- b sisted in ignoring the white race o in the South and in driving d it into closer and closer union b lor the preservation of the hon- I g or and integrity of the land tl in which they live, even though h it ha? cost them auy recognition in the National Government, lor a which, in spite of all, they have b as great a love and loyalty as any who fill her offices or sit in b her council halls. C It was on December 13. 1889, a in Boston, that there fell upon the ears ot an astounded u audience a trumpet blast that o was heard in the uttermost parts c of the country, and compelled li the North to pause and listen, and listening, to learn the lesson t it should have learned Inne h since. Oh, I wish I could write 1] that great speech of Henry Gra- t dy on the race problem upon the t hearts ot all mv countrymen, h North and South. It has lessons s for both. t I am going to quote you some i fragments, in tlie hope it may f: induce you to read and learn 1; the whole of it. Hear his state- I ment of the problem and of the a demand the North is making upon us for its solution : c x' "1 thank God as heartily as ' you do that human slavery is ^ gone torever from American soil n But the freed man remains, and v with him a problem without pre- r cedent or parallel. Note its ap- n palling conditions. Two utterly v dissemilar races on the same 0 soil, with equal Dolitical and a civil rights, almost equal in 1 numbers, but terribly unequal ? in intelligence end responsibili ^ ty, each pledged against fusion ; c one for a country in servitude to * the othe', and freed at last by a g desolating war.... Under these p conditions, adverse at every t point, we are required to carrv c these two races in peace and v honor to the end. a "Never, sir, has such a task 8 been given to mortal steward- E ship. Never before in this Re- 11 public has the white race divided ~ on the rights ol an alien race. The red man was cut down as a 1 weed,because he'hindeerdthe way of the American citizen. The 1 yellow man was shut out of this 11 Republic because ho is an alien P and an inferior. . . .But the black * man, affecting but one section, 11 is Dinned to the anil ai?t t people commanded to make good ' at any hazard and at any cost ^ his lull ami equal heirship o! ^ American privilege and prosper- B ity. It matters no1 that everv ^ other race has been routed or ex- 1 eluded without rhyme or reason. 0 It mailers not that wherever the whites and blacks have touched 1 in any era or any clime, there 1 has been an irreconcilable vio lence. It matters not that no '' two rac *s, however similar, have s ever lived anywhere, at any time, on the same soil with equal rights in peacel In spite of these things we are commanded to / make good this change ol American policy, which has not, perhaps, changed American prejudice, to make certain here what has elsewhere been impossible between whites and blacks^ and n to rever.se, under the very worst conditions, the universal verdict ^ ot racial history. And we are | 1 diiven, sir, to this superhuman " task with an impatience that v brooks no delay, a rigor that ac- (> cepts no excuse and a suspicion , that discourages frankness and t sincerity. We do not shrink ll from this trial.

What have these years rought us ? Shortly before this speech was elivered the President addressed longress in his annual message ,s follows: Are thev(the South)at work ibon it? What solution do they tier? When will the black ma.i aat a tree ballot? When will he iave the civil rights that are his'! Aye 'twas true, only too true, hat lor twenty years the South lad been "driven to this superluman task, with an impatience hat brooked no delay".
