I’ovvdeiTv Ilefenits the lilavk- I’aMile and Picnic. , - - ' ' Itetwern four and five thousand Kiiiglrts of, Labor paraded the streets of Richmond on Monday, llthiust.. and all public olliees and nearly all workshops, manufactories, and other business placCs-iu the city were closed in honor of tlio event. At the close of the parade speeches were made by Ralph lleauniont, Mr. Tredel, and Mr. l.itchman. "Senatorelect: Daniel, Mayor Harrington, and Gov. l.ee were to have made speeches, but they did- not appear. -Later there were games and races on the fair grounds, and tlio festivities closed at night with a banquet, nt which white and colored delegates -at together.

I desired ter impress upon the minds of white and black that the same result followed actiou in the field of labor whether that nctiou was on the part of Caucasian or negro labor. Two years ago, in nil address delivered in this 'citv, I said to the people of Richmond: •Von stand fAce-tn fftce—iTitHharste'mnTTilig - Xeality,. a rtspnnsiUUitv whieh caiinot be avoid--ed orshlrirrd: The - negro qiresttcifi is' as promineiit to-day as it ever was. The first proposition that stares us in the face is this : The negro is free, he is here, and he is here to stay. He is a citizen and must learn to manage his own affairs His labor and that of the white man will bo thrown upon the market side by side, and no human eye can detect a difference between the article manufactured by the black mechanic and that manufactured by the w hite mechanic. Both claim an equal share of the protection afforded to American labor, and both mechanics must sink their differences or else fall a prey to the slave labor now being imported to this country,’ ”
