.V* " I; . GENERAL BUTLER'S LETTER. I In Which He I>lsoiis?ios the ?ireen wood Trouble*, tlie Poor White Man. and the PestiferotiM Xejjro, Edgefield, S. C., Aug. 2". Dear Wyatt:?The newspaper accounts of the state of affairs in Greenwood county, which I take to be in the main correct, portray a condition of affairs truly deplorable. I am no apologist for lawlessness at the hands of any class of people, and oiler no excuse for it In Greenwood or any other county, but In order to check It we must find the causes that produce the lawlessness and apply ho effective remedy. Public meetings and de nunclatlon will not cure the disease. You may plaster over a sore on the human body and conceal It for a time, but if the disease Is in the blood It will break out somewhere else A good doctor will strike at the root of the disease, and eradicate It there, while he ap"Aiutii.Qc an f hti anrfarp. pucn ^anuLi ? vo uw So It Is with the race question in this country. Poor white men, wbo have to "earn their bread by the sweat of their laces." cannot compete with cheap negro labor. To attempt to do so Implies their degradation and ultimate destruction or expatriation. One race or the other must go to the wall, aud without any other feelings toward the negro race than that of absolute kindness and good will, I shall be found on tbe side of my own race when that issue is presented, us it is now, in my opinion. The two races cannot * *' live together in peace on terms of equal civil and political rights, and tbo sooner we realize that the better it will be for both races. The gradual and permanent separation of the races is the only solution ol the terrible problem. The bitterness between them Is growQ. lng more Intense every day and will continue to Increase In intensity as time goes on, un less tome practical remedy is appnea. vmerwlse the day of painful retribution is Inevitable, and a train of calamities are in store for us, too distressing to contemplate. The fate of the negro is pathetic, pitiable, as things now are. The fate of the laboring white is worse so, as he has to compete with negro labor. It Is very easy for Tillman and others to denounce the lawlessness of the poor white man, "the one-gallus, wool-hat crowd; the poor farmer boy." Let Mr. Tillman and those who Join him as the guardians of the negro and present denunciators ol the poor white man, put themselves In his place, and walk between the plow handles, shove the plane or wield the hammer from sun-np to sundown, in competition with negro labor, employed at from three to five dollars a month, a peck of meal and three pouods of bacon a week. Some of these patriots now jumping on the "one-gallus, wool-hat crowd" are and have been for years living on lat salaries, enjoying the cream of the land, by the grace of the fc.'. . "one-gallus, wool-hat crowd." Having reached the top, they now kick down the ladder on which they rose to wealth and power. Such sudden conversion to the ways of law and order make one tired. T ranaat I hnv? nn Ptntise to Olf6T for " Wb It? capping" or any other form of outlawry, but sometimes justification, If not excuse, may be dug up from tbe deDtbs of poverty and the bard lines to wblch cheap negro labor have plunged many wortby, poor wblte men. And Whenever you arraign tbe accused and denounced before a wblte Jury to be tiled for tbelr violent and lawless effort to break down and drive out tbe competition with cheap negro labor, you will strike a cbord of sympathy running through the hearts of every member of tbe panel, for tbe accused are of tbelr own race. So we will continue to go through with the farce and expense of trying to convict white men for making raids on negroes. Reverse the situation and put negroes In the Jury box to try negroes and you would have tbe same result. God Almighty has Implanted In the heart of each race an Ineradl cable batred against the other, and you cau o more expel It by trials and denunciations and lectures .than you can chance the nature and color of each by a cyclone. The government of the United States ought to appropriate a hundred millions of dollars and duplicate as often as may be necessary, to asBlst the negroes In settling a colony to themselves, or, what would be almost as effective, assist them In moving to the north or northwest. The government did this for the Indians because they could not live In peace with their white neighbors. Why not adopt the same policy tor the other colored race? The stupid and untenable law on our statute boobs making it a penal oflence lor an emigrant agent to Induce negroes to leave the state ought to be repealed, and the State ought to pay a bonus of so mucb a head for every negro who can be Induced to go. Cheap labor is the curse of any country. It may enrich a few, but the great body of the citizenship cannot emerge from a state of semipeonage of starvation wages. The land owners would be better off li the cheap labor would get out and make way for an Intelligent, thrifty class of white laborers who would intelligently diversify agriculture, Improve the lands and make plenty and prosperity where stagnation and degradation now holds sway. A temporary inconvenience might result if the negro should go away, but the white men of the south would meet the emergency and solve it with courage and intelligence. Tbe terrors which beset the females of their families would give place to a feeling of security and composure; society would adjust Itself on lines of safety and enlightened progress. As it Is, young men are leaving the farms, seeking employment where they avoid competition with cbeap negro labor. Whenever they find themselves able, heads of families are moving to towns and villages for better security to their families, leaving the fields to a vicious, ruinous tenant system, which kills the land and demoralizes the country. It behooves young men to look the situation squarely In tne lace. Those of us who have passed the meridian of life cannot in the nature of things live to see the end, but as for myself I shall point out the way as It appears to me, and contribute as best I oau to the solution of the race question on lines of humanity and justice. In tbe discussion there is no room for passion or Intemperate language. The wild harangues of men who openly advise the murder of tbe Tolberts and keeping tbe negro In a state of quasi slavery, and yet who always manage to get into a sale place when tbe ball opens, deserve the contempt and execration of all right minded men. That is not the way to bring peace and order In tbe country and give the law an opportunityto assert itself. You will naturally astc why not cure the evils of cheap negro labor by advancing their wp-jes and lift them up from their present plane of degradation. The ready answer Is found in tbe fact that their methods of work, their habits of life, their lack of intelligence ? /InninMrvn nrtri tKvlf* In m^nrn tion does not Justify It. This has been tried within my knowledge, wllb disappointment and loss as tbe result. The same argument was used on tbe Paclflo coast during tbe agitation of tbe Chinese labor question witb tbe same result. Yon may look at tbe subject In every one of it* possible phases, and come back to tbe starting point, that tbe negro, endowed as be > Is with every civil and political right that tbe law confers upon you and myself, cannot and will not live in peace with the white man, so long as be is in immediate contact with 'jim. It never bas and never can be done, untll tbe Creator of us all changes the natures of us all. I-yncblngs, white capping, mob law, every form of lawlessness, constant> ly menaces society, obstructs progress, and keeps up a state of anxiety while such contact exists. Very truly, M. C. Butler.
