UUAOY'S LIST SPEECH.
Tlie following U an extract from the
last speech of tne great dilcr
of the South II W Urady : The
president of the United States, in his
late message to congicss, discussing the
plea that I lie South should be left to solve
this problem, asks: "Am they at wurlt up.
on !t? tVhat solution do they offer?
When will the black man cast a free bal
lot? When will he have the civil right
that is his?" I shall not here, protest a
gainst a partlfanry that for the first time in
our history, in time of peace, has stamped
with the great seal our government a
stigma upon the people of a great loyal
section. But, sir, backed by a record on
every page of which is progress, I venture
to make earnest and respectful answers to
the questions that are asked. We give to
the world this year a ciop of 7,500,000 bales
of cotton, v.ortli $450,000,000, and its cash
equivalent in grail, grasses and fruits.
This enormous crop could not have come
from the hands of sullen and discontented
labor. It comes from peaceful fields. It
is claimed that this ignorant labor is de
frauded of its just hire. I present the tax
books of Georgta, which show that the ne
gro, 25 years ago a slave, has in Geor
gia alone $10,000 ,000 of assessed property,
worth twice that much.
Does not that record honor him and
vindicate his neighbors? What people,
penniless, illiterate, has done so well?
For every Afro-American agitator stir
ring the strife In which alone he prospers
I can show you a hundred negroes happy
in their cabin homes, tilling theii own
land by day and at night taking from the
lips of thch children the helpful message
their State sends them from the school
house door. And the school house itself
bears testimony. In Georgia last year we
added $250,000 to the school fund, making
a total of more than $1,000,000 and this in
the face of prejudice nnt yet conquered,
of the fact that the whites are assessed for
$36S,ooo,coo, the blacks for $io,ooo,eoo,
and yet 49 per cent, of thebenedciarles are
black children, and in the doubt of many
wise men if education helps or can help
our problem. Charleston, with her taxa
ble values cut half in two since xS6o, pays
. more in proportion for public schools than
Boston. Although it is easier to give
much out of much than little out of little
the South with one-seventh of the taxable
properly of the country, with relatively
larger debt, having received only one
twelfth as much of public lands, and hav
ing back of its tax books none of the half
billion of bonds that enrich the North, yet
gives nearly one-sixth of the public school
fund. The South, since 1S65, has spent
$122,000,000 in education, and this year
is pledged to $37,000,000 more for State
and city ii.m.: although the blacks,
paying one ; 1. r :th of the taxes, get near
ly one-half o. . --fund.
In our pent... itiary record 60 per cent
of the prosecutors are negroes, and in every
court the negro criminal strikes the negro
juror, that white men may judge his case.
In the North one negro in every 185 is in
jail in the South only one in 446 In the
North percentage of negro prisoners is
six times as great as that of the native
whites in the South only fo"r times as
great. If prejudice wrongs him in South
ern courts, the record shows it to be deep
er in Northern courts.
Now, Mr President, can it be seriously
maintained that we are terrorizing the peo
ple from whose willing hand comes every
year $1,000,000,000 of farm crops, or have
robbed a people who 25 years from unre
warded slavery have amassed in one state
$20,000,000 of property? or that we in
tend to oppress the people we are arming
every day? or deceive them when we are
educating them to the utmost limit of our
ability ? or outlaw them when we work
side by side with them? or rc-enslaving
(hem under legal forms when for their
benefit wc have even imprudently narrow
ed the limit of felonies and mitigated the
severity of law? My fellowcountrymen,
as you yourselves may sometime have to
appeal at the bar of human judgement for
justice and for right, give to my people
to-night the fair and unanswerable con
clusion of these incontestable facts!
