The following extracts from Sena- 1
t??r Tllman's speech on the negro pro- (
hiein will be found interesting and in- (
st motive:
L want to direct your attention to a (
remarkable fact in the history ot this
country, which f-an not he too much (
dwelt upon. When the Southern .
white men, from Hi to 150 years of age, j
all them living in the cotton States, ,
except a few in the mountains, hail j
loft their homes during the civil war
to follow the standards of Lee and
Jackson, of Johnston and Forrest,
and when thene were absolutely no
men there except the old men above

and the country then was much less
thickly populate than it is now and j
altogether more agrieultural with f|
over 4,000,000 negroes t hero were at t
least 1,000,000 males of adult age, |
slaves scattered throughout the ;|
breadt h of I ho land, from the I'oto- j
mac to the Hio (Irande, and the wives
and daughters of their masters were v
left to their care and protection. t
The negroes knew the war was to j
settle the question of their future (
liberty or continued slavery. If there
existed in their hearts any cause for
hatred and rc?cntment and a desire ,
for revenge, such as you gentlemen in t
your youth were led to believe existed (
from reading Harriet Itcecher Stowe's
novel and other sources of Informalion,
and when oratory poured out its (
plea for the poor, downtrodden Afrl
can -if those people had then been
imbued with one-tenth of tlie hatred
of tlie whites which exists to-day,
what would have been the consequences
upon the helpless white wo- J
men and children then living anions ,
them? The very imagination palls ,
at the picture of rapine and murder
and of the cruelties and horrors of
which we have read in llayti and San
Domingo. Vet they were slaves and
bad, as you believe, ample cause for
revenguc and hate.
Hut what are the facts. Senators?
During those four dark years there is
not of record a solitary case where a
negro man wronged a white woman.
What is the situation now? 'Pake
your morning paper and read it any
day in the year, and there is hardly a
day In which our sensibilities are not
wrought up and our passion excited
or our pity aroused by some talc of
horror and of woe.
1 tell you from my own experience
and observation that the old sense of
security and of love and friendship on
the part of the negro for his white
master and his mistress and the children,
which 1 myself experienced in
my boyhood, has gone. With the
remnant of the old negroes who were
born in slavery and had some of that
training (all of whom are now necessarily
above -10)gone, the last restraing
and conservative element among them
will have disappeared. They have
been taught t hat they are the equals
of the whites. During t he rcconstrueto-...

and proFessed to govern, and levied
taxes and marched t hemselves in the
slatehouses. constantly Squandering
and stealing of our substances, they
learned their lesson well. They tasted
blood. They were innoeulated with
the virus of license, not liberty.
Aiming the dusky millions who were
held in bondage there were, of cqm^e,
many who had been c oolly wronged
and suffered in.Uij;tlcfc, hut the overwhelming
majorit y of them had no feeling
for their masters and their families
except love and veneration. They
looked up to them as superior beings.
They felt the obligations of the trusts ,
which had been reposed in them, and
many of them were true unto death.
The fact which can not he disputed is
one to give us pause when we undertake
to analyze the present conditions.
A great poet tells us t hat those who
love liberty must tirst deserve it. So
the poor African has become a (lend,
seeking whom he may devour, and
tilling our penitentiaries and our jails,
lurking around to see if some helpless
white woman can he murdered or
brutalized. Vet he can read and write,
lie has a little of the veneer of education
and civilization, according to
New Kngland ideas.

t lie negroes. The whole number beyond
New York would not equal the
negroes In my county. The people up
there can afford to theorl/.c and to determine
upon the life and death of
the civilization of the South from
their standpoint of sentimentality, if
they are willing, but I do not believe
they are willing. 1 do not believe they
want to. J give him credit for more
love of humanity and of their kind
than to bring on a contlct of that sort.
Jf there were no higher motives, I
give them credit for more statesmanship
Hut, with the constantly increasing
hatred between the races,
with the*older white men, acquainted
with the better negroes, dying olf, as
they are doing rapidly; with the old
negroes, the grandfathers of the race,
dying off rapidly, as they are doing, in
a very short while those who know
anything of the relation of the slave
and the master in the old days will
have disappeared and gone.
And then the youngengeneration of
white men, who are hating these negroes
in return, whose animosity and
antagonism grow apace with these
acute situations and conditions, have
got to face this problem. I thank God
sometimes that I will not live to see
the thing brought to a focus. 1 am
endeavoring in my feeble way to beg
you, for God's sake, not to help produce
that acute stage of fever and race
hated and carry it through until you
bring into people those angry passions
which will put the races at each other's
throats with t he resolve on the j
part of the whites to die or maintain
* their supremacy.

What effect doe* it have to appoint
i negro to oitlco In a community,
iovoral of which I could mention in
uy State, where there are three or five
icgroes to one white, just as there are
n Indianola three negroes to a white
person in that entire community, and
11 the adjoining county of Washington
here are absolutely ten to one, jus!
is in ltcaufort, S. O., there are ten to
>nc? What effect docs it have for the
knowledge to go out all over and
imong them, at their churches and
iverywhere else, that the great l'resllent
of the United States is still tlieir
rrlend; that ho docs not intend to alow
the "door of hope to he shut upon
them;" that ho wants to offer them an 1
pportunity in life; that he is going to '
recognize them and give them olllces
to represent the United States (iovernncnt?
Does that tend to peace, tend
to good order, tend to produce that i
Reeling of subordination which is their <
inly salvation?
Some people have been ready lit bo- '
love and to contend that the negro is
i white man with a black skin. All '
listory disproves that. (Jo to Africa.
iVhut do you lind there? Krom one ,
lundrcd and fifty million to two bun- (
I red million savages. ;
1 happened in my boyhood, when 1 i
vas about 12 years old, to see some 1
eal Afrlcans from their nativo Jun- '
fles. The last cargo of slaves iin- ]
an ted into this country were brought
lerc in 1858 on the yacht Wanderer, ]
anded on an island below Savannah, (
md sneaked by the United Stales
narslial up the Savannah Itiver and
anded a little distance liclow Augusta, i
Hid my family bought some thirty ol
diem.
Therefore I liad a chance to see just
vlnit kind of people lliese were, and
ocompare the African as he is today i
n Africa with the African who, after
wo centuries of slavery, was brought
?idc by side to be compared. The difircnco
was as "Hyperion to a satyr."
Those poor wretches, half starved as
ilicy had been on their voyage across
die Atlantic, shut down and battened
mder the hatches and fed a little
rice, several hundred of them, were
Llie most miserable lot of human bongs
the nearest, to the missing link
with the monkey I have ever put
my eyes on.
Now, 1 do not go into the philosophy
of it. or undertake to actus (Jod's
interpreter, because 1 have no ambition
of t hat. sort and I would not presume
to even suggest a thing more
than l.o say that if wc consider the
destinies of this race from a broad
standpoint, and compare the condition
of the African in Africa today,
t lie highest and best of tliem, with
the condition of the A merican negroes,
such as we now have them, or such as
we had them in 18155, 1 do not liesi
late to say that anions the four million
and odd slaves who were in the
South in 18(lf> there were more good
Christian men and women than all
Africa could show then or can show
now.
Then if Cod in His providence ordained
slavery and had these people
transported over here for the purpose
of civilizing enough of them to form a
nucleus and to become missionaries
hack to their native heath, that, is a
question. I have a letter here from a
distinguished African bishop who believes
it, and I want to read it. Hut
the thing I want to call your attent ion
to is that slavery was not an unmitigated
evil for the negro, because whatever
of progress the colored race lias
shown itself capable of achieving has
come from slavery; and whether among
those four million there were not
more good men and women than could
he found among the nine million now
is to mind a question. 1 would not
like to assert it; but 1 am st rongly of
that belief from the facts 1 know in
regard to the demoralization that has
come to those people down there by
having liberty thrust upon them in
the way it was, and then hiving the
ballot and the burdens of gov rnmcnt,
and he'r.g ..ubjeoltd ro the strain of
being tempted and misled and duped
and used as tools by designing white
men wno wenl there among them.
A little while back 1 received a letter
from this man -1 never met him
making some comment on something
he had seen about my utterances
in regard to the negro in some
speech or lecture. My newspaper
friends have always taken it. upon
themselves to quote everything Inat
is lurid and hot and vitriolic that I
say, and then to finish by saying,
"The Senator from South Carolina
made a characteristic speech," leaving
anything that was sane and
rational and decent and eloquent, if I
ever rise to eloquence, out of the
whole account. That is unintentional
doubtless. In their pursuit for sensation
they have done mo the great
wrong to misrepresent me throughout
this country. 1 do not fret over it. 1
know that the truth never has overtaken
a lie, and 1 do not intend to undertake
it,, and 1 never will even make
a start to run down thousand and one
lies that have been told on me.
Hut, t his man, this bishop, wrote me
a letter and called my at tention to a
dream of his, an aspiration and a
hope, and to suggest that 1 should
submit his proposition to t he Senate
of the United State and lend it sup
port. 1 wrote back to him the ditlicuity
that lay in the way the obstruction,
the well-nigh impossibility of
anvthiiur beintr done alomr ilmi. Him
It) the extent lie had dreamed, of, and
1 went on to say something about my
Idea in regard to the negro, giving a
little advice, as we arc all so prone
and ready to do. Advice is one of
those commodities that nobody ever
charges anything for except a lawyer.
I got this letter in return:
Allahta, (?a., .Fan. Hi, 11)0.1.
lion. I?. it. Tillman, United Stiit.es
Senate.
Sir: Yours of tlie; 10th instant was
upon my table when I reached home
from Memphis, Tenn.
You say, if I know anything, I ought
to know that the negro in the South
must ever and forever remain subordinate
or Ix! dest royed and annihilated.
I know that as well its you do,and even
better, for a white man can not see
the virus of this entire nation, from
the Supreme Court of the United
States down to the ward politician, as
the colored man can see it and feel it.
Ihit this determination to degrade the
negro and prevent his recognition as a
man that Uod made is not only confined
to the ruling masses of the South
but to the North as well. Color prejudice
is not a Southern institution
alone, bat of t he United States. Hence
my desire for my race to leave the na
tlon and return to Africa. When I
was a lK>y, 00years ago.I thought then
as I do now, that God allowea t lie negro
to he brought to t his count r\ and
ci\ili/.cd to I'edeem his kindred io Africa.
And since I have traveled from
one end of Africa to the other, i am
stronger in toy conviction than ever.
And I did hope that, as Jefferson l>uvis
was the negative force in the freedom
of the negro. God had raised you
up to he t lie negative force that should
i's ahlisli through governmental aid a
highway for millions of our race to return
to the land of our ancestors. I
have been looking upon you as a creature
ot Providenceand still think that i
your utterances in many Instances will!
serve a purpose not even contemplated
by yourself. Othorsof my race may
denounce you,as t hey do in mass meet- j
ings and on the lecture platforms of
t his count ry,but I shall praise you and I
wish you Godspeed; for l believe that I
you are serving a purpose of Providence
that hut few are aware of, and
oven yourself do not realize.
I judge you think, from the Lone of
your letter,!hat I am a politician. Iful
be politics far from me. i am no polilician.
Nor am I any ollice seeker for
my race. 1 do not care if a negro never
{elsoHIcg m this country while the
world stands. A little insignificant
mice in the face of all the laws that
ire enacted to prevent our rising to
manhood is too small to merit my atLcnl
ion. The negro is a fool for want ing
ollice. lie is a fool for enlist ing in
Hie Army or Navy or in doing anything
to protect a (lag that gives white
men all the stars and leaves nothing
lull the stripes for the negro. 1 Mease
do not class me among (lie politicians.
You say the natural Increase of the
negro by hirlll would he a bar to emigration
solving the race problem. II I
talk with you I would make you see
otherwise, for I know ail about it
am acquainted with the statistics of
Immigration to this country. But i
shall not intrude upon your time and
patience. No reply to this letter will

II. M. Turner.

11 is scheme is before you to consider.
Now, Mr. President, a little brief
summary, and 1 am done. I have endeavored
in my feeble and humble
way t<> give you such historical light,
such ethnological light, 011 this subject
as 1 could conic across in the brief
time I have, had, along with my other
duties, to collect. I have relied mainly
on the inner light of my own observations
and my own feeling and knowledge
of conditions.
1 do not want to see the African
driven to the wall. 1 do not want to
shut the door of hope in his face. I
am Willing t.o give him every opportunity
in life, all that the Declaration
of Independence guarantees life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness,
lint that does not involve, and so help
me (iod I can not consent to have it.
involve, the dominance of that people
o,ver my people.
Then what are we to do? We have,
as 1 have told you, a large negro majority
in South Carolina. Negroes constituted
the wealth of that State hefore
the war when these slaves were
chattels. They arc there and they do
not want to leave,and we do not want
them to leave. What I mean by that
is that today the superficial thought
is that it 11icy left our liclds would go
untillcd, our lands would become
worthless, there, would he a vacuum
in the productions of that State, and
if you took them out of the South you
would create a cataclysm in linance,
and would knock down and destroy
not only the financial prosperity of
this nation, hut of all lOuropc.
So you can not approach this problem
at a double-quick. It lias been
coming 011 us for t wo centuries or
more. We will have to lake the time
iu r?i uiiy i nn Mir I le.M Wily I ) g<) <1 DC HI I
settling it, and then begin. We had
hotter never begin than to begin
wrung. We have already begun wrong.
The blunders which have been made
since lsUf> have produced the present
unfortunate and, 1 might say, dangerous
situation.
Consider \ for a moment what it
means to undertake to deport t hese
people, to encourage them to emigrate.
You are face to fae with a problem
which in iis magnitude in i xpense will
approximate the national debt at the
close of the war. The getting together
even in small quantity of 200,000
a year,or whatever number might
equal the birth rate, and giving them
the aid and I lie assistance to go across
t he ocean, or t > go to South A meriea,
or to Mexico, or to the Philippines, or
to Cuba, or to Africa, or anywhere
else, involves transportation by sea,
the food necessary to sustain them
while they are on th> way and in the
time they are. on shipboard, the food
to support life; and then when yon
land them on the other shore you are
compelled by humanity to furnish
them with the means ot support until
they can make a start in the world,
until they can plant a crop and gather
it. So 1 think upon a rough estimate
you can not possibly hope or exnee
L to aeeomolish it onftci- scum
- !?-?
capita at a very low estimate.
How many of them want to go? 1
(1 > not know, and certainly there is no'
law to make them g<? and (J ingress
can not pass one. .l ie does not want
to go my doe. I do not know whether
1 belong to .foe or doe belongs to
me. Anyhow, we have been together
for thirty years, and we have agreed
to live together until one or both of
us die, and when I go away, if I go
tirst, 1 know he will shed as sincere
tears as anybody. 1 would die to protect
him from injustice or wrong.
Now, what are you going to do
about it? Throughout that broad land
there are hundreds and t housands of
does. They do not care anything
about voting. They do not know anyi
hln<* '
1/iiimk iii ut'iii aionc mill in
peace as they are now, they do not
know anything about the elections.
They have- forgotten all they did know
about them. They have not voted in
South Carolina since 1881, long before
they were disfranchised according to
the const it lit ion and the law of tie
State. When we took the government
away from them in 1870 we made it
so clear t hat we intended to keep it
that, after one or two spasmodic efforts,
they surrendered all desire or
contention, and virtually were satislied
to go and pick cotton on the nth
or 7th of November, when the tirst
Tuesday came.
It is only these pestiferiotis creatures
who are organized, as 1 said, into
little Republican machines to furnish
delegates to nominate a Republican
President who are bothering about it;
and it is those fellows who are in these
rm*
?i i ihii?? ??W

race antagonism and create a feeling
of opposition in the minds of all
those who arc w illing to In* misled.

It may not Ik? known generally to
our read is that the government
spends millions of dollars annually
trying to destroy insects that are injurious
to the dllTerent crops that our
f M iners grow. No less than $351,000,1000
w ill be spent this year in tills
way: The cinch hug will draw $100,000,000
of tlds amount, the grasshopper
will take $90,000,000 and the Hessian
lly will call for at least $50,000,00()
more. Three worms that attack
the cotton plant will assess the farmers
for a total of $(15,000,000, and
the potato hug will eat $3,000,000
worth of Its favorite kind of garden
produce. Ten Millions of dollars is a
moderate estimate of the Injury that
will he dope by the apple worm, and
the caterpillar that makes cabbages
its specialty win dostry $5,000,000
worth of crisp green heads. The
estimate, which is conservative and
under Hie mark, is as follows:

How absurd it seems, says the Wash(

and Courier says, that this Government,
with an army of 05,000 men,
251 war ships and more money in Its
treasury than any nation has ever before
possessed, should be helpless in

Then you need a good dlgestant llko
