the South where thf blame

lower elements which came
south with reconstruction.
Some further information oil
the general subject will be in
structive.
It is to be reirretted that
the census of 1900 does not
ivide the population of Afii
can descent into blacks, mu
attoes. quadroons and octo
..... f
roons. as il t lie census o1
890. Hut from the latter ecu
sus we ga t her some vry ,
tercstisg facts. For instance,
in Massachusetts there wen
22,144- le-'ople of African de
scent. Ot these 14,108 or G4
per cent, were black; 0,815,
or 30 per cent, were mulat
toes; 728, or 3 per cent,
quadroons; 493, or 2 percent
octoroons. In Georgia, there
were 858 814 people of Afri
can descent. Of these 773,082
or 90 per cent, were blacks;
72,072, or 8 per cent were
mulattoes; 8,775, or 1 P'M
pur quadroons, and 4,2G0.
or per cent octoroons.
So with eliminating the
quadroons and octoroons, it
will be seen that 30 percent
ot the negro population in
Massachusetts were mulut
toPH while 8 per cent only of
the negroes iu Georgia were
mulattoes.
But it may be suggested
that mulattoes emigrated
from the South to Massachn
setts. So it might bes iid that
some of the mulattoes in
Georgia came from Mexico,
from C.iba, from San Oouiin
go and trom other statps.
Hut there is some liiht on
the subject. The census of
1900 says that the negro
population in Massachusetts
(it does not classsify blacks,
mulattoes, etc..) increased du
ring ten years 25 per cpnt
41 02 ner cent were native
born. This would show that
a greater per cpnt were na
tive born in 1890 than in
1900. The native born in
1890 must have been n o t
less than 50 per cent.
Now take your bearing and
contemplate the percentage
of mulattoes iu Massachu
setts and Georgia.
Massachusetts 30 percent
Georgia 3 per cent.
Hut if 50 per cent of t h e
Massachusetts negro popula
tion 1890 cere not native
horn and came from the Isles
in the Antilles, from New
York, from Pennsylvania and
Irom the Southern States,
still her per rentage of native
mulattoes would be 15 per
cent against Georgia's 8 p -r
cent, granting (which is not
true) that none of Georgia's
was born out of the State.
These lacts, taken iu con
nection v.ith the facts in re

The South does not shrink
