I find an observation worthy of note. submitted by Elizabeth Oaks Smith. of Hollywood. N. C.. which is as follows: It may be utopian to think of removing 6.000.000 people to Africa. but once let immigration turn that way. and Africa will be remunerated for the wrong we have done her. We wrenched from her a sensual. ignorant. barbarous population. and we return thither a people with civilized instincts. and it is to be hoped. with aspirations that may help the Dark Continent to wipe out her old pagan barbarism. cruelty. and sensuality by creating the hope of culture and the intimatlon of empire. Professor Cope. in closing his discussions to the Open Court. said: I am not surprised to find that the objectors to the project of transferring the Negroes from this country to Africa have nothing but sentimental objections to urge against it.
