The sycophant, toady class of Negroes naturally advise the blacks to remain in the South to serve their white neighbors.

The radical protagonists of the equal-rights-for-all element urge them to come North by all means.

Then there are the thinking Negroes, who are still further divided.

Both divisions of this element have the interests of the race at heart, but they are unable to agree as to exactly what the blacks should now do.
Thinking that the present war will soon be over and that consequently the immigration of foreigners into this country will again set in and force out of employment thousands of Negroes who have migrated to the North, some of the most representative Negroes are advising their fellows to remain where they are.

The most serious objection to this transplantation is that it means for the Negroes a loss of land, the rapid acquisition of which has long been pointed to as the best evidence of the ability of the blacks to rise in the economic world.
