In one of the most remarkable speeches that ever was delivered in such an assembly, he declared that the Negroes should depend upon work and education for econ- omic freedom as a means to quality them for participating in matters of government. He said, further, that the best friends of the South- ern Negroes W not the politicians who sought to exploit their votes but the white people of the South—their neighbors, the men who gave them employment and aided them when troubles became unbearable. He told the Negroes to “work, work, work, and save, save, save,” to do their work well, to get all the education pos- gible and let the results care for themselves. Only in that way, he said, could the Negroes become capable of being self- governing citizens. He declared that one had as well attempt to 1ift himself by his bootstraps as to vote himself into equality of citizenship.
