THE NEGRO PROBLEM-
The negro problem in the United
States was by no means settled when
the emancipation proclamation of
President Lincoln was issued thirty-
six years ago. Since that time tlie
population of the Republic has more
than doubled and the number of Afri-
can descent has increased from four
millions to seven and a half millions.
By the proclamation of Lincoln the
enslaved negroes, like those who had
before been nominally free, became
citizens of the State and entitled to
all the privile;_'»,'es of citizenship. But in
the south, where the -grea.t...bulk of the
colored population are located, they
have not been permitted to realize the
high hopes they had entertained of
equal rights and privileges with their
white brethren. They were, in fact,
ill qualified to become citizens. They
were ignorant as they were' poor, and
superstitious as they were ignorant.
A century of slavery had broken what-
ever spirit of manhood was with-
in them, and when declared to be
free they still retained the disposition
and feeling of subjection. Every in-
vention that ingenuity could devise
and that malice could inspire was re-
sorted to in order to keep them still
in practical subjection to the will of
their former masters. By state laws
and a system of terrorism they
were prevented from exercising the
the votingprivilege. And by the sys-
tem of lynch law they were deprived of
fair trial then suspected of any olfence
|aga.inst the laws. As a result there is
increased, rather than diminished
hostility between the white _ and
colored races. This is not the case
in t-he Republic at large, but is true
of the old slave states in a very large
Vmeasure. In the states of Louisiana,
llllississippi and South Carolina the
colored people exceed the whites in
number, while in the states of Georgia,
Virginia,Alabama and North Carolina
the relative numbers of the two races
are not very disproportionate. Schools
and colleges have brought to the ris-
ing generafion of the colored people
a. sense ofthe value of thedibertles
and privileges to which they are con-
'stitutionally entitled, but of which
` they have been deprived by e force or
fraud. Hence the natural nisposition
on their part to assert their rights
and the resistance on the part of their
former oppressors,which have brought
about from time to time beginnings of
a race war, such as we read of having
recently occurred in Delaware.
As to the danger of a general negro
uprising, leading on to the for-mation
pf a negro nationality in the south,
it may be disposed of without much
labored consider ation. The negro
population of the United States mgkgg
up less than one;eighth part of the
entire people, and statistics go to
show that the white population, with
its large gains from immigration, in-
creases almost twice as rapidly as the
colored people. Everywhere the
whites are crowding in upon them,
and absorbing their small possessions.
The instincts of the c -lored people
A and their continued subjection render
them unable to hold their own in
competition with the more energetic
and thrifty whites. There  ex;
ceptions, of course, but the general
U9 yet clomon the vergggg   _V
andxivith no' ros not I9" I
4, that their condition will somewhat
mascot the ,iiegro peoploof 
~4
thgiie in the land of their ancestors.
Social philosophers have spe-
culated whether in case of
this _ being _ done the negro
would lapse into* barbarism or retain
the measure of civilisation he now has
and perhaps be the means of building
up ncivilized and Christian community
among the natives or the Dark Con-
tinent. But these speculations are
idle and useless. The negro people
have no disposition to return toAfrica
and they cannot be disposed of in any
siich fashion without their consent.
The future ofthe colored people of
the south must be worked out where
they are. Gradually it may be hoped
improve, but their numbers will con-
tinue to forma. smaller and smaller
proportion of the total population of
t_he country, and not for many gener-
ations to come, if ever, will they ex-
ercise any considerable iiiduence in
the,country’s a.ii`airs. America is now
a white ma.n’s country, however un-
righteously it has become so. The
N egro's wrongs, like those of the In-
dian, are not ended. By sheer force
of numbers the African race will long
survive in America, but its future is
clouded, almost to hopelessness.
Mr. Smart, Deputy Minister of the
Interior, makes a good report in re-
gard to Northwest immigration.
Lastiyear some eifort was made to in-
duce immigration from the western
States of the Republic and about
700 were secured. This year over
6,000 of the_same valuable class have
come in, with a good deal of farm
stock and money. Next year a much
larger number from across the line are
expected; in fact, the current that
l`e"merly_ set southward across the
beindary line has now been reversed
ani i“the flowing tide is with us.”
This year also the immigration from
Great Britain has doubled. In regard
to the Gallicians, Mr. Smart says that
Canada has got but a small part of
these people that are emigrating to the
new world. South America. gets the
bulk of them, and in Argentina
whither most of them go, they are
considered.. to he a. valuable class of
settlers. Canada has received 5,000
Gullicians this year and Mr. Smart
has received very favorable accounts
of them.

A very had attack of the Grippe _Gul
year ago last winter left my system in l
very wealutate and in -nerYous_lyltcu_\.
completely unstruug.  ter gettfug Over
the dangerous stage of“ the diseuel
naturally expected to gain strength, but,
unfortunately, did not db so. 08 thi
contrary, my blood' beca.rne.wea.ker. I
daily lost strength and vitality,  my.
herv,ous system became so weak that it
was a constant source of sntfermg both
_lay and night. I lost appetite, the sight
of food nauseated me, the weak state of
my system caused shortness of breath
and unnatural action of the hurt, such
` as tluttei-ing and violent palpitation, and
my face was like chalk. I was in this
condition and constantly getting weaker
when I began taking Dr. War ’s Blood
and Nerve Pills. I had read the books
they distributed and their advertisements
in the papers, and thought, “ W_ell, I
have taken so much medicine without
benefit it is useless to spend any more
money. However, I finally made up my
mind. It is a. forlorn hope ; I can but try.
If I am not benefited I will not be hurt.
So I bought one box and received great
benefit therefrom, so continued their use,
and to-day am a well map in consequence;
my blood is strong, my lace has the ruddy
hue of health, my appetite has_ returned,
I sleep well, I have not the slightest rn-
dications of nervousness or heart trouble,
and from a sick, weak, nervous man Dr.
Ward’s Blood' and Nerve Pills have
transformed me in six weeks to full health
and strength." I am yours very truly,
