Shortly after initiaott inherent to and inseparable treat i the married the Hon. George E. Foster, tha raoe. Tha fundamental tactur in the CMS is that ths nexro race was organ! lly developed and mantlly and pbyaioally limited under conditions of climate and toil which, ou the one hand, male his wants few nd simple and, on tha othtr, required from him the minimum of physi- cal and mental effort. Wnen suddenly transplanted into entirely different natural conditions and required to supply, not tha limited want* n-rraane to his special nature and capabilities, bat the much larger wants of a higher race and a higner civilization, ha was pat into conditions ts whioh be was in every lense unequal. Under the compulsion cf slavery, artin:ial prae- tors and tha supervision of a higher race could force oat of him a larger utility and produotiveneas than that which would have come spontaneously nnd-r native condi- tions. And even when tlavsry was abol- ished, he had a certain stock of practical knowledge and of indnatrial habits, acquired from his servile condition, which have contributed materially to hU welfare. Bat these i|atlidctioos have to contend against a nature conslitatiosally indolent, passive, noambiti us, improvident and ia- cuif treat to the itiuiiiUtUjg wauls of loftier races, and there has ben a constant con- flict between the inherent qualities and the acquired habits, in which tbe Utter have been steadily losing ground. To day, tha problem with tbe Southern negro ia how to provide not comfort, nor competence, bat jast so much of ths plainest neceMitias of, food, clothing and shelter as is ni cecatry to tha degree of uhyaioal stamina eneoutiai to productive effijiency. He is making no progress towards conquering that prooiuu : on tbe contrary, the prospect of bis saiv- ing it anemi to recede farther at every step. The landmarks tiow numilakble videnoe of retroxrewioa. He is no longer able to provide a anil', jency of nutritive food ; he cannot adeqattely protect himself agtinat incUmeut weather ; an HDrestraineeVxaxual immorality in spread- iflg the seeds of enervating disease through a large proportion of tbe raoe ; and thuj there is in steady progress a process of physioal deterioration whioh is constantly diminishing the valae of tbe negro to society and therefore to himself. Concur rently with this tendency, ih increase of ths population is at a rate so high that tbe children sartor from insufficient nutrition and grow op into a maturity of feeblenets that curtain their value (or toe purposes of labor, whilst the supply of labor is abnor mally gaining on the demand. Hue of Ihe suggestion* for Ihe solution ot the problem u the deportation ot t' negroes from the Southern Slates to their original boina in Africa, where, it is arimed, they would exercise a civilizing influence at a tima whan tha oommtrcial nations of Europe England, Germany and Portugal re endeavoring to open up and develop tha " dark continent." The theory is that a co'ony of 100,000 Southern negioas, educated into white civilisation and speaking the Eng- lish language, might render important ser vices as a connecting link between the ex trames ot a high civilisation and barbarism. They might prove a valuable contingent 'or polios or military purposes in regions where whites could not exist, and thus do their share toward* civilising tha present in habitants. Hut the remedy seems inade- quate. A few hundreds of thousands would hardly ba milaed from the millions ol negroes in the Southern States. Their places would be qoiokly supplied by the natural increase ot population. A peculiarity of the case is that the foreign-born white residents of the United States were instrumental in freeing the Minister of Finaaoe for the Dominion.
