The Whites and the Blacks.

Any one who thinks that the negroes will ever gain supremacy in this|country is wrong, as the following shows: In 1790 there were 3,172,000 more whites than negroes, in 1880 there were 48,575,000 more, in 1890 nearly 55,000,000 more, and, if the present rates of increase are maintained, there will be in 1990 1,067.000,000 more. The negroes gain nothing from immigration, while the whites gain millions thereby. This 19 not a phase of the negro question that need cause anxiety.
