THE RACE
By Senator McLauri
[From tbo Washingto
It is dif?i?ult and well-nigh impos
sible for any ono to gargo the depth
and powor of any issuo or movement
predicated on race 0? religious pre-:
judi?os. Fortunately, iu this ooin
try wo have boon spared those torri
ble struggles brought on iii othor
parts of tho world by religious pre
judices. But wo aro not so fortu
nato on tho rnco issuo, for tho condi
tion of our country, particularly tho
South, with its great negro popula
tion, placed alongsido tho whito
population, makes raoo differences
inevitable. Tho people of the North,
far removed from tho centors of
largo negro population, are ablo to
viow this raco ?SBUO from a puroly
sentimental standpoint. It is to
them simply a question of fino phra
ses, of declarations on tho equality
of all men undor tho law. But to
tho pooplo of the South tho question
of race io not % more matter of senti
ment. It is a subject which outers
into tho very lifo and existence of
our pooplo. Wo soo it before us
ovory day ; it is presented to us, not
for argumont aud aoadomio discus
sion, but for immodiato practical BO
lutioh. While ncad3miciaus at re
moto points, secure in their own
homes, Buouro in their property-,
seoure in all those elementary rights
which accompany Anglo-Saxon civi
lization, can theorize, wo of the
South aro compelled to faco an ac
tual condition. As an eminent pub
lic man said of another vital ?BSUO in
American affairs, it is not a theory
but a condition which confronts us.
I suggest this because it seems na
tural and unavoidable that tho States
of the South, whioh aro faco to faco
with this terrible raco conflict, must
themselves moot it and solvo it, and
that thc theoretical views of those
standing afar off, should not bo cast
against those who aro struggling
with a problem involving their self
oxistonco.
Tho raoo issuo has been brought
prominently to tho front within re
cent days by conditions in North
an'1 South Carolina. In North Caro
lina tho issuo has grown out of the
peculiar conditions existing in that
Stato, whoro negro domination hac
boen brought about by a poculiai
combination of political oauses. Foi
tho last two years there lias boon
completo negro domination through'
out that State, and aside from thc
doepor question as to domination b}
those lacking in education, in pro
porty, and in all that goo-j to make
men representativo of tho geneva
social welfare, tho whites wore sub
joined to all manner of insults and
official oppression. I havo no doubl
that tho troubla in South Carolin*
was a dircot result of tho negro demi
nation in North Carolina, ns wo o
South Carolina have fortunately beoi
rid of nogro domination for ruanj
years. But our pooplo aro closolj
allied by blood and business with th<
people of North Carolina, and it ii
but natural that thoy should hav<
felt a deep sympathy whoo the whit?
men of North Carolina d?termin?e
to throw off tho evil of black rule.
From my personal exporienc?
while Attorney Gonoral of Soutl
Carolina I gained an insight into th<
real meaning of nogro rulo. Tb
poop?e of tho North havo no idoi
what this means, ns judged by nc
tual experience. In tho Stato o
South Carolina we had eight yoar
of negro carpot-bag government
during whioh the white men of th
Stato, representing ita intelligence
its education, and its property, wor
sent to tho rear, whilo tho logialativ
halls of tho Stato wore in tho pot!
session of a body of nogro legisla
tors. What this body did is a mat
ter of history with us, although I d
not believe tho pooplo of tho Nort
appreciate the OXCOSBOB which tbs
negro Legislature aud negro govorn
mont committed. By tho force
issuo of bonds tho debt of the Stat
was inorensod during this period c
negro rule from $8,000,000 to (21
000,000. Ono year tho corrupt nogr
and carpot-bag ofiicials of tho Stat
mot in a back room of a bank an
actually dividod up among thon
solvos all tho money colleotod b
taxation. It was simply a matter <
personal distribution of p'lbllo mono
among them. As Attorney Gonorn
following tho period of nogro rule,
had todofond a suit that exposed oi
phaso of thia negro rule. The blac
Logislaturo had passed an not 1
issuo Cl,500,000 cf Barip, known i
Blue Ridge scrip, to build a rnilroa

over, and tho triplo issues woro dis
posed of ID various raonoy markets.
For aots liko these many of tho negro
oflloials were afterward prosecuted,
oonviotod and sont to tbo penitori
tiary. But even in this tbero was
littlo justice, na pardons by tho nogro
mado Governor woro as muoh a com
moroial commodity as cotton or
wheat.
It was Buch oxperioncos as this
that warned tho pooplo of North
j Carolina what was likely to follow if
tho baneful inlluouoe of negro domi
nation booamo firmly fixed upon
their State. Already it bad ?eoured
partial control of tho State, and tho
most populous communities, tho
seats of education, woalth, and buBi
noss, wore completely nndor tho mas
tery of negroos who had littlo or no
participation, or even indiroot inter
est, in tho bnsinoss, trado proporty,
or substantial conditions of thoso
places. This ie not a moro assertion,
but it is a faotroadily established by
specific instances which can bo cited,
and I think it is no moro than simple
justico to tho pooplo of tho Carolinat
that their brothors of tho Nortli
should look at these facts and con
sidor what they would do under simi
lar; oircutnstauces. Tako, for in
atanco tho city of Groenvillo, N. C.
whoro tho tr x ablo property is thro<
quartors of a million dollars. Th<
Board of Aldermen levies tho taxoi
and ordors tho expenditures. Om
of tho negro Aldortuon pays 84 cont
in taxes ; another ono 03 cents ; th
othor two nothing. Tho total taxe
paid by tho nogro Aldormon is $1.47
Tho Mayor, a whito man, elootod b;
nogro votes, pays 43 cents taxcf
The negro City Clerk pays no taxcf
tho policomon none, tho night-watoli
man none, tho Chiof of Polioo 2
couts. Tho rovenuos of this tow
amount to $5,600, of whioh $2,88
goes to pay salarios of those non-tai
paying negro office-holders. I boliov
it to bo a safe assumption to say tin
95 per cont, of tho taxes aro paid b
tho whito people. Tho instance
havo cited is but ono of a groat man
throughout tho State, and it would 1
aimply a wearisomo repetition to n
poat thoso instances. Tho same abho
rent principle, or laok of principle, rut
through of all of them, nnnioly, tax;
tion without representation ; nogi
direction and control of widosprer
whito interests, personal and pr
porty. Not content with taken po
session of municipalities and appoir
ing negro Justices and policomc
tho negroes scorn inspired with a vi
diotivo desiro to make their way SW)
as odious and opproHaivo as possit
to thoir whito fellow-citizens.
33ut this nogro, unroprosontati
direction of proporty rights, is on
tho least objectionable feature
nogro rule. Tho real (danger arif
to tho individuals, particularly to t
whito women and young girls,
some sections it is ur.bafo for a wh:
girl or woman to walk tho road aloi
? traveled over North Carolina di
ing tho roccnt political contest, a
on all handB heard tho roports of i
gro lawlessness and outrage, whi
at last had becomo so bold and di
ant that tho whito pooplo, represe!
ing order, protection to lifo and p
son and tho purity of womanho<
woro aroused and nnitod as nei
beforo, and without reforonco to p
vious political affiliation.
Tho frequent assaults by nogr>
upon whito womon aro a constf
monaco and sourco of torror. ?
long nineo I spoko to a largo ero
in North Carolina. Among th
presont was an old Kopubliuan v
had beon tho baokbono of his pa
in that soction. Ho was an old C
fodorato soldior and a man of
daunted courage It was tho oust
in that section at tho closo ol
speech to call for converts. Wi
men of all parties woro oallod U]
to como forward and sign tho "wi
man's union." I mado an apj
something liko an old-fashioned 3
thodist minster at a oamp moot
for thoso who wanted "saving gra
to como to tho mourners' hoi
Tho old man immediately oamo :
ward and made ss thrilling an
j peal as I over heard, lie started
by saying that "I havo boon a nir.
for fifteen years, but by tho hell
God 1 will bo a whito man tho
anco of my lifo. You pooplo ki
how mean I havo boen, and I
your forgivoooBS. Do you ki
what turned mo ? Woll, a g
woman did it. My noaroat noigl
was ravishod by a nogro, and a w
lawyor volunteered for her defe
My daughtor put hor arms arc
my nook and begged mo, with tears
in hor eyes, to stand by tho white
pooplo. Hor ploa for tho white wo
man was irresistible, and I promised
hor then and there that I would!
stand by the white pooplo in their |
fight for white supromaoy."
It is impossible to desoribo a socno
like this, li3 wus a big, rugged old
man, ns brave hs a lion, and wbon ho
announced that ho was not afraid of
"Yankee troops," as he had fought
thom nuder Stonewall Jackson, and
was not afraid to meet thom again if
sent down by President MoKinley,
declaring ho would not ask a m?re
glorious doath than to dio in defense
of tho w?m?n of North Carolina, and
thus oxpiato somo of tho wrong ho j
had dono, thero was hardly a dry
oye in that largo orowd. Tho effoot
of suoh an appeal was clcotrioal, and
every man, without roforonco to poli
tics, thoro signod tho pnpor. I hoard
from reliable sources in North Caro
lina that siuoo nogro rule bogan in
tho State thoro had boon twonty
rapos of white women by negroes,
besides numerous attompte, and that
ovory enc of them liad occurred in a
county under nogro government, aud
not a singlo one in counties under
white rulo. A negro newspaper in
Wilmington, N. C., attempted to
justify all ruch assaults by an attaok
upon tho vii tue of tho whito women. I
It was an unbearable insult, whioh i
bolpcd fan the spark of indignation
iulo a flame. I hoard of another in
stance characteristic of tho condi
tions prevailing. A young lady,
oightocn yoars of ago, was walking |
along tho stroots, and found tho side
walk blookcd by hrco negro mon, j
and stopped off to j iss around. Ono
of tho men took h i d of hor person,
turned hor around, and slapped hor
faco for "putting on airs." Hundrods
of instances of a similar character
have occurrod in that State, whioh
have novor beon mado known, be
oauso tho whito pooplo aro ashamed
to admit that snob outrages woro
hoing porpotratod.

Tho worst effeot of negro domina
tion is tho abasomont of tho whito
man. Tho most charactorless and
degraded of tho whites compoto for
the negro voto. Tho negrooB by
themselves have novor, in a singlo I
instance beor, ablo to gain control,
but havo been lcd by whito mon,
whom they always repudinte as soon
ns they gaiu power. Tho roason tho j
negroes repudiate, a? nnon ns pos*
ble, their whito allies is bcoauso tho |
negro is ambitious. His ono groat
ambition is to become a whito man,
and if he despises ono thing moro
than nnothor it is a whito man who
has bocomo a nogro, and tho first |
neck his heel will tread upon is tho
whito man's through whoso voto ho
gains powor. ( In tho county of]
Riohinond, N. C., a whito man,
Henry Covington, mado a Bpeeoh
within fivo miles of tho South Caro
lina lino in whioh ho oponly encour
aged his nogro hoarors to assaults on
whito women. Ho did not spoak at I
his noxt appointment, and in any
other Statu in this Union one utter
ing suoh statement would havo boon
hung, but tho man was allowed to go J
with an apology.
Lot it bo understood that tliin io al
righteous onuso, high nbovo tho plano
of party, and involving tho preserva
tion of civilization. It was Macau
lay, I boliovo, who said of tho French
Revolution, "It destroyed liberty,
but preaorved civilization." It wnB
an awful oahunity, when, aftor the
war, a vast horde of ignorant votors
woro enfranchised. Moro than once
havo our pooplo boon faco to faco
with tho dread oboico botwoon liborty
and civilization.
Oneo in South Carolina Wade
Hampton thrilled tho hoarts of our
pooplo with tho words, "I will bc
Govornor of South Carolina, or hy
the Eternal we will have a military
government." Bettor for me a mili
tary despotism than a oivilization in
ferior, degraded and oorrupt.
This is the OSUBO of oivilization.
Tho Southern pooplo oan stand
4-cont cotton and poverty, but they
will not stand negro domination.
As long as thero is a docent white
man living he will be ready to die in
dofonso of our women and our civili
zation. I think one of tho greatest
mistakoa now hoing mado is the mo
thdds of education of tho negro.
He is hoing rapidly developed intel
lectually before ho is prepared indus
trially and morally. Tho three
should go hand in hand, and tho
prooofls in tho first i? too rapid for
tho lattor to koop paco. On tho
contrary, it is just and right, and ab
solutely host and wisest for both
racoB that the whito pooplo, who set
tled this couutry, and oivilized it,
and made it tho grandest country ou
tho globe, and who havo done more
for tho nogro race th?n all other peo
ples, should govorn it as a wholo and
in all its parts. It ia their country
and thoy havo a right to rulo it, auc
they cortainly will rule it. Ever}
intelligent person knows that it ii
not only vory foolish, but will b<
absolutoly suioidal and ruinous foi
tho negro to attempt to resist tho in
evitable result.
In looking for tho solution o
those race evils, wo say at tho out
sot that it calls for tho samo solutioi
-that of whito 8upromaoy-that ha
followed throughout tho world's hie
tory. Tho superiority of tho whit(
tho inferiority of tho black, is a prit
oiplo recognized by BooiologiBtf
whioh no moro sentimental uttoranc
can obsouro. It has boon exhibitc
in all ages, and tho instances whio
Egypt gave in oarly days aro to-da
repeated in the advance of Angl<
Saxon civilization, undor tho bai
nors of tho Sirdar, and tho drivin
back of tho blaok hordes at Kha
to um.
Tho right of tho Caucasian to ru
comes from God. Whore ho is four
ho governs. It is in his blood. H
commission is printed on his browl
the hand of tho Almighty, and tl
record of hia race is marked in i
tho histories of tho paBt in all tl
countries of tho earth. Anglo-Sax?
civilization in North Carolina w
never rotreat iu a faco of a confli
with an inferior race. Evory Sta
in tho South has had tho samo ord?

a raero subordinate, dictating noth
ing, suggesting nothing, satisflod to
obey tho orders of a minority and to
do almost all the fighting in a cam
paign which brings it no rewards. Wo >
say to our Southern friends that this
j arrangement has lasted much too
long.
! Tho South, to-day, oquips the
Democratic Party with most of its
brains and its conservatism. Thero
aro exceptions, of course, but our
proposition holds good as a rulo, and
j the facts remains that tho South does
! not tako its propor place in tho con
duct and managotnont of tho Demo
j oratio Party. It still submits with
jout protest to tho diHqualifioation
imposod upon it by tho civil war. It
still consents, after thirty-three years
of time and aftor tho splendid demon
stration of patriotism nu-.do last Slim
ier, to bo hold in an inferior posi
tion, to bo kopt out of sight as a
thing to bo ashamed ot, and to bo ,
used only as tho rank and filo of an
army whioh it really dominates by
virtue of numbers, intellect, and ; j
valor. No greater anomally can be
imagined then that whioh is pre
sented by tho South's acquiescence
in tho arrogant and ridiculous hypo
thesis sot up within tho Demooratio
counoils by tho North and East. It
has reached a point at which ovon
Northern and Eastern Domoorats
rogard it with wonder and con
tempt.
If the Demooratio Party is to suo
ceed in any future national contest,
it must do so through tho oxpediont
of tho South's assuming leadership.
Tho olcotions this year havo shown
that tho Democracy can win moro
easily by ndhoring striotly to its
principles and by a sodulous avoid- .
anco of timo-savitiir and speoious
alliances with Populism. This
abominable policy was adopted in
1888, whoa the Eastern Democrats,
noting for Mr. Cleveland, inducod
tho party to abandon its organization
in States whore Populists bold tho
balanco of power-snob States as
Nebraska, for oxamplo-and dolivor
its votes to a tiokot and a platform
whioh honest Demoorats could not
viow save with discontent and shamo.
Mr. Cleveland was tho Eastern and
Northern fetich and dishonor could
bo advocated in his namo. But tho
polioy of cowardice and infamy has
brought no strength to the Democ
racy, and this yoar tho proposition
has boon proved in every Stato
Whoroin that polioy was at ono
timo tolorated. Wo all know, now,
that thc Domoorats aro strongor
whon thoy stand fast by their tradi
tions and their record, and thore
goos with this tho conviction that
Demooratio leadership must, for tho
futuro, bo left to thoso who furnish
tho party's strength and common
sonso and solf-rospoot.
In tho South wo find the fighting
material, tho conservatism, and tho
statesmanship of tho Domooraoy.
To the South wo should look for its
dictator;; and its tandora. Tho unna
tural arrangement has outlived its'
time. Lot us havo tho dispensation
