R. IlAltP.ELI., Editor Caico Paper. Reply or The Bulletin: Wo shnll reply to Mr. llarrell point after point : i-'irsf Point. Mr. liar roll truly uiscrti that, as a class, tho 2,500 negroes of Cairo aro non-taxpaying and non-producing citizens. That is tc say, n largo majority of tho 2,000 negroes of tho city men, women and children do not pay.taxcs and do not do nny work which produces wealth. Mr. Hnrrcll's object in stating this fact is to hold It up before the negroes as n ro pronch. But it is no reproach to them; because of tho C,000 whito people in Cairo tho largo majority nro also non-producors and non-tax-pnycre. Can this bo doniod? How mnny of tho C,000 whito poople, mom women and children, pay taxes on " com fortable homes?" Wo believe tho num ber will fall short of ono in every flvo or six. How many nro engaged in produc tive labor, the results of which, according to many writers, must bo palpable in some material object capablq of being trans ferrcd from ono person to another ? Wo bollovo tlio numbor will full short of fifty in each thousand. So, while it is truo that tho negroes, as a clasi, nro non-producers and non-taxpayers tho largo majority being so; it is nlso true that tho whito peo ple of Cairo, a class, nro llkewiso non producors and non-taxpayers tho largo majority being ?o, Theroforo, tho stone of reproach, Hung by Mr. llarrell nt tho col ored citizens of Cairo, is a missilo which may bo hurled buck at tho people of his and our race and color. .Mr. llarrell says that tho prcsenco of 1!,500 negroes Imposes upon tho whito tnx payors of tho city the education of 500 black children. This fact ho oilers as ovi denco that tho ncgroc. arc not n desirable element of our population as n roason why wo should got rid of thorn if wo can " by not oncouraglng thorn." Tlio fact is as stated, but tho uso of it is improper ; because, if the fact that tho tai-payors of tho city must pay for tho education of 500 colored whose parents pay no tuxes la a good reason why all tho blacks should bo induced to " soek tlio broad acres nil nround us," tlio other fact, that tho tax payers of Cairo must pay to oducato whito children whoso parents aro too poor to pay taxes, is a good reason why thoso poor vyhitojiarcnU should bo induced to also " sook tho broad acros all around us." In deed, Mr. Harroll's argumont is an argu mont against tho public school system which is basod on tho idea that tho noorost Is entitled to nn education nnd tho wealth of tbo country must pay for it. It is, at least, an argumentative boomerang. Whon thrown it is ns likely to wound tho whites who fling it as tho blacks at whom it is thrown, 3. Wo do not deny that tho prcsonco of j z,tuu negroes in iairo largely increases tho expenses of our criminals, but wo doubt if tho incrcaso is ?i!,C00 nyoar, ns Mr. Uarroll asserts, Ironi Januarv 1st. 1871, to July 1th, 1871 a few days over six months tho city paid tho polico forco $1,790,05, and for tho support of prisonors, white and black, ?1,-1"3.7D. In a year, nt this rate, the total cost of tho polico forco and of feeding prisonors, would bo $5, 010.82. Now, wo do not believe that Mr. Harroll would claim that, If wo had no ne groes in Cairo, tho cost of tho polico forco and Jail would bo as low ns $2,000. AVo could not get along with a smaller forco than was on from January 1st to July th. But, tho fact remains, that muey of tho ticgroos nro ordinanco breakers, and glvo to our polico court much of its bust- ncss. Thoy hnvo not tho opportunities to obtnln labor that whito men have, and, since Satan finds somo wicked work for dlo hands to do, they nro too often n difficulties. In this fact wo sco reason why work tihould bo furnished to them if possible If thoy aro kept busy they will not put tho city to much ox penso. Instead of being nn argument to support Mr. llarrell, tho fact that many negroes get into Jail because when they dont work aro Idle Is an nrgumont in sup port of our assortion, that thoy ought to bo furnished as much work ns thoy can do well, if it is possiblo to glvo it to them without sacrificing public or privato inter est. 4. Having stated that criminal negroes greatly incrcaso tho polico expenses of tho city, Mr. Harroll makes tho broad assor tion, that towards paying those largo and burdensomo oipcnsos tho colorod popula tion do not contribute, annually, tbo sum of $25 1" Wo aro amazed at tho lack of information Mr. llarrell possesses on this point, llo is decidedly mistaken. Wo can namo cloven colored men of Cairo who havo paid Into tho city treasury this year over six hundred dollars, and this is not near all that pay taxes. Tho trustees of tho property ront lots to about 70 col ored raon in tbo city j to about 00 in tho fifth nddition ; to about 100 In tho barracks, etc. Besides theso thoro aro others to whom other parties rent houses nnd lots, nnd a numbor nf negroes own their own lots nnd houses. Many of these pay rent and taxes; and, when this arrange ment is not mado, they pay tho taxes indi rectly in tho ront. In tho light of theio facts, what becomes of Mr. Harroll's as sortion that tho colored population do not contribute to tbo expenses of tho city 25 a year ? But Mr. Harroll says wo have pervortcd his moaning. Ho says ho did not say ho desired to deny to tho colorod man tho right to labor for his bread. What did ho say 7 That the negro is a bad element; that tho city would bo better off without 11; that it ought not therefore to bo en couraged; that giving tho negro employ ment under tho city government was en couraging it. In other words: work en courages tho nogro; this is wrong; there foro givo him no work. If this was not Mr. Harroll's lino of argumont in his first articlo wo aro vory much mistakon. But in his commnnication above printed ho rises to explain, and says that our whito population should not bo driven off to give placo to tho negro. Wo agree with him. But thcro is no need that cithor tbo indus trious whito or black man should leave Cairo. Thoro is work for both. But, lot us say in answor to Mr. Harroll's question, nnd say, that, if tho choico woro narrowed down to a negro, who contributes littlo to tho growth, etc., of tho city, nnd draws a hundred cents out of tho public treasury for ovory ono ho puts into it, ond a white man who for years has shared in all tho burdens of our city, wo should without hesitation choose tho whito man. And now lot us ask, if the case woro rovorsod, and tho choico woro botweon a worthless whito man, who had taken n hundred cents from tho city treasury for every ono bo had put into it, and n colored man who for years had shared in all the burdens of tho city, which would Mr. llarrell choose? But what has this to do with tbo ques tion under discussion? Tho city has em ployed four colored tax-payers, nnd not negroes who contribute nothing to the city, nnd tako money out of tho treasury without giving an equivalent in roturn. So, whero do Mr. Harroll's objections como in properly? When ho says that tho city council has no right to pay tho peoph's money to ne groes for lak-or, ho stullifles himself, and proves that ho docs not always square his praclicos by his prccopts. As a school director ho employed Warren Wclms a colored man, as janitor of the Thirtoonth stroot school house, and consented to tho employment of David Ross, nnothor colored man, ns janitor of tho high school build ing. If ho had desired ho might have givon thoso places to whito mon, nnd thus kept out of tho negroes' pockots a portion of tho peoples monoy. How can ho blttmo tho mombcrs of tho city council for following tho exarnplo sot by himself? Before ho nsks the council to explain nwny Jenkins, nnd his laborers, he must oxplaln awny Wcimos and Ross. It is as sinful for thrco school directors to hiro two negroes, as it is for oightcon mombors of tho council to hlro five.
