Présentation de l'éditeur

The One Great Question PART I. THE CASE STATED. The late Hon. Carl Schurz, in the course of an article published a few years since, bearing upon the question of the relation of the races in the South, wrote as follows: A nd here is the crucial point: There will be a movement in the direction of reducing the Negroes to a permanent condition of serfdom the condition of mere plantation hands, alongside the mule practically without any rights of citizenship or a movement in the direction of recognizing him as a citizen in the true sense of that term. One or the other will prevail. In a more recent article appearing in the Century Magazine, the Hon. Charles Francis A dams quotes, with evident approval, the following from Baker: So long as it is generally considered that the Negro and the white man are to be governed by the same laws and guided by the same manage ment, so long will the former remain a thorn in the side of every community to which he may un happily belong. Owen Wister, in his recent book, Lady Balti more, essaying to photograph the current thought of the young North groping its way toward settled con victions, represents it as now feeling that the final status of the American Negro is to be and ought to be something between equality and slavery.
