The report of th <tor of the schools for freedn State is especially significant in its beat this point. In one or his reports for } says that more than one-third ef the colored population of that State are mech: jes.

Al! trades are ots and engineers; ef workmen in Tepresented by them—also nor are they skill, taste and abi when employed, command the ustal wages paid others of like calling, and are taking work on thelr own responsibility, and dolgg If to the sat isfaction of their employers. What is said of the freedmen of that State is also trac of the other States of the South, for, in the degrada tion of labor by slavery as it existed, the slave was m do the mechanical as well as the ral work, and so beeame an artisan. e two great staples of southern industry can- not be successfully withont his labor. Thisis proved by the attempts which have been made since the war by northern men to grow cotton and sugar in the South upon plans su gested by their northern experience, and cou: trary to tne method of the colored laborers oi the South, which have proved abortive in well nigh every instance, as many wrecked in their means are ready to testify. With a voting power under our present system of reconstruc- tion of seven hundred and fifty thousand electors, a laboring force of thie> millions et of four milhons and a quarter of hardy sons and daughters of toil, native to the soil, we are an element in the industry of the country of im- portance, value, and power. But for our own good and the welfare of the country in her ma- terial and moral well-being, we seek a better and broader opportunity to gain knowledge in the flelds of agricultural, meshi , commer cial, artistic and professional labor, and this knowledge we would. energize and make more effective through education. ‘The spelling-book and the hoc, the hammer. and the vote, the op- portunity to rise, a place on which to stand, and to be and to do, we ask for ourselves ard child- ren as thé méAans in the uae of which, under God, we are to compass these achievements which furnish the measure, the last and justifi- cation of our claim, to fair treatment and de: ing.
