The tendency of the negro to the cities is greater than that of the white. If this relative increase of the white population to the colored continues. we will find in another score of years the white population in the neighborhood of 65 per cent of the total to 85 per cent of colored. To raise 15.000.000 bales of cotton will require an increase of laboring population. and the South must look to immigration to supply it. Immigration not necessarily from abroad. but from other parts of the country. and in immigration. I believe. will be found the ultimate solution of the race question. It would appear that the comparison of the crops shown by census years 1880 and 1900 is reliable.
