- ANNOUNCEMENT.
-
-
-The Trustees of the John F. Slater Fund propose to publish from time to
-time papers that relate to the education of the colored race. These
-papers are designed to furnish information to those who are concerned in
-the administration of schools, and also to those who by their official
-stations are called upon to act or to advise in respect to the care of
-such institutions.
-
-The Trustees believe that the experimental period in the education of
-the blacks is drawing to a close. Certain principles that were doubted
-thirty years ago now appear to be generally recognized as sound. In the
-next thirty years better systems will undoubtedly prevail, and the aid
-of the separate States is likely to be more and more freely bestowed.
-There will also be abundant room for continued generosity on the part of
-individuals and associations. It is to encourage and assist the workers
-and the thinkers that these papers will be published.
-
-Each paper, excepting the first number (made up chiefly of official
-documents), will be the utterance of the writer whose name is attached
-to it, the Trustees disclaiming in advance all responsibility for the
-statement of facts and opinions.

- OCCUPATIONS OF THE NEGROES.
-
-
-The statistics of occupations used in this paper are from the Census of
-1890, and represent the status of the race on June 1 of that year. The
-Census takes cognizance only of “gainful” occupations, excluding from
-its lists housewives, school children, men of leisure, etc. Its
-schedules deal only with wage-earners, those directly engaged in earning
-their living.
-
-
- GENERAL STATISTICS.
-
-In 1890, out of a total population of 62,622,250, 22,753,884 persons, or
-34.6 per cent., were engaged in gainful occupations. Of the negroes,
-including all of mixed negro blood, numbering 7,470,040, 3,073,123, or
-41.1 per cent., were engaged in gainful occupations. The proportion was
-much greater than with the total population. This total population,
-however, was composed of several diverse elements, including, besides
-the negroes themselves, the foreign born (of which a large proportion
-were adult males), and the native whites. The following table presents
-the proportions of each of these elements which were engaged in gainful
-occupations:
-
- _Proportion._ _Per Cent._
- Total population 34.6
- Whites 35.5
- Native whites 31.6
- Foreign born 55.2
- Negroes 41.1
-
-The diagram No. 1 sets forth these figures in graphic form. The total
-area of the square represents the population. This is sub-divided by
-horizontal lines into rectangles representing the various elements of
-the population, and the shaded part of each rectangle represents the
-proportions engaged in gainful occupations.
-
-The proportion was greatest among the foreign born because of the large
-proportion of adults, and particularly of males, among this element.
-Next to that, the proportion was greatest among the negroes, being much
-greater than among the whites collectively and still greater than among
-the native whites.
-
-Classifying the wage-earners of the country in respect to race and
-nativity, it appears that 64.5 per cent. were native whites, 22 per
-cent. were of foreign birth, and 13.5 per cent. were negroes.
-
-Analyzing the statistics of occupation by sex, it is discovered that the
-proportion of native white males who had occupations was 53.4 and of
-females 9.4 per cent. The corresponding proportion of male negroes was
-56.3 per cent. and of female negroes 26.0 per cent. The male negroes
-were slightly more fully occupied than were the native whites, while
-among females the proportion of wage-earners was much greater. The
-difference between native whites and negroes in the proportion of
-wage-earners was, therefore, due mainly to the fuller occupation of
-women. To put it in another form: Out of every hundred native whites who
-pursued gainful occupations, 85 were males and 15 were females. Of every
-hundred negroes, 69 were males and 31 were females. Indeed, a larger
-proportion of women pursued gainful occupations among negroes than in
-any other class of the population.
-
-
- CLASSIFICATION OF OCCUPATIONS.
-
-The primary classification of occupations made by the Census recognized
-five great groups, as follows: 1. Professions; 2. Agriculture; 3. Trade
-and transportation; 4. Manufactures; 5. Personal Service. These titles
-are self-explanatory, with the possible exception of the last class,
-which is mainly composed of domestic servants.
-

- Diagram No. 1.

-
-[Illustration:
-
- Classification of the Wage-earners by Race and Nativity and by
- Occupations.
-
- Diagram No. 2.
-]
-
-The following table shows the proportion of the negro wage-earners
-engaged in each of these groups of occupations. In juxtaposition, for
-comparison, are placed similar figures for the native whites and the
-foreign born.
-
- _Native White._ _Foreign Born._ _Negro._
- _Per Cent._ _Per Cent._ _Per Cent._
- Professions 5.5 2.2 1.1
- Agriculture 41.0 25.5 57.2
- Trade and transportation 17.0 14.0 4.7
- Manufactures 22.9 31.3 5.6
- Personal service 13.6 27.0 31.4
- ————— ————— —————
- 100.0 100.0 100.0
-
-Similar facts are shown by diagram No. 2. In this the total area of the
-square represents the number of persons in the country pursuing gainful
-occupations. This is divided into rectangles by horizontal lines, the
-rectangles being proportioned respectively to the numbers of the native
-whites, the foreign born, and the negroes. The sub-division of these
-rectangles by vertical lines indicates the proportion in each group of
-wage-earners.
-
-The most striking facts brought out by this table and diagram are that
-only a trifling proportion of the negroes were in the professions, that
-much more than one-half were farmers, and nearly one-third were engaged
-in personal (mainly domestic) service. Indeed, over seven-eighths of
-them were either farmers or servants. The proportions engaged in trade
-and transportation and in manufactures were very small. In respect to
-the farming class, they contrasted sharply with the foreign born. In
-trade and transportation and in manufactures the contrast was even
-greater, in the contrary direction. The foreign born contained a much
-larger proportion of professional men.
-
-Comparing the negroes with the native whites, equally interesting
-contrasts appear. Professional men were much more numerous among whites
-than among negroes. The proportion of the farming class, although much
-smaller, was nearer that of the negroes than was the same class among
-the foreign born. In trade and transportation and in manufactures the
-native whites had much greater proportions, while in personal service
-the proportion was much less than that of the negroes.
-
-
- MALE AND FEMALE WAGE-EARNERS.
-
-It will be interesting to analyze these figures further. The following
-table classifies negro wage-earners by occupation and by sex, giving for
-each sex the percentage engaged in each group of occupations:
-
- _Male._ _Female._
- Professions 1.2 0.9
- Agriculture 63.4 44.0
- Trade and transportation 6.8 0.2
- Manufactures 7.0 2.8
- Personal service 21.6 52.1
-
-These figures are also illustrated by diagram No. 3, the area of which
-represents all negro wage-earners. The two rectangles into which it is
-divided represent the males and females; each of these is sub-divided
-into rectangles representing the number in each group of occupations. Of
-the male negro wage-earners, more than three-fifths were farmers and a
-little less than one-fourth were servants. The two classes jointly
-accounted for nearly 85 per cent. of all.
-
-Of the females, considerably less than one-half were farmers and more
-than one-half were servants—the two classes together accounting for 95
-per cent. of all. This large proportion of female negro farmers was
-doubtless made up in the main of women and female children employed in
-the cotton fields.
-
-
- NUMBER OF WAGE-EARNERS.
-
-The following table, abstracted from the Census publications, shows the
-number of negroes in all occupations and in each of the five great
-groups of occupations by sex and by states and territories:

-
- PROPORTION OF WAGE-EARNERS TO POPULATION.
-
-The foregoing diagram No. 4 shows by the length of the bars the
-proportion which the negro wage-earners bore in 1890 to the negro
-population of each state. This proportion was greatest in the states and
-the territories of the west. Following these are the northeastern
-states, while the lower part of the column is made up of the states in
-the upper Mississippi valley and those of the south.
-
-
- OCCUPATIONS BY GROUPS OF STATES.
-
-The distribution of wage-earners among the five occupation groups
-differed widely in different parts of the country. To study it, it will
-be sufficient to group the states and analyze the statistics of each
-group.
-
-The groups which will be used here are those which have been in use in
-the last two censuses—namely, the northeastern and southeastern, north
-central and south central, and western groups. The states and
-territories of which each group is composed are shown in map No. 5.
-
-Examination of the states forming the above groups will show that the
-groups are in many respects very characteristic. The southeastern and
-south central groups contain nine-tenths of the negroes of the country.
-These states may be said to constitute the home of the negro, while in
-the northern and western states he is an immigrant.
-
-
- OCCUPATIONS BY SEX AND STATE GROUPS.
-
-Diagram No. 6 shows the distribution by sex and by groups of states of
-the negro wage-earners. It appears that in the northeastern,
-southeastern, and south central groups two-thirds of the wage-earners
-were males and one-third were females, while in the north central and
-western groups about five-sixths were males and one-sixth only were
-females. This is in part due to the disproportionate number of males in
-these parts of the country.
-
-Diagram No. 7 shows the distribution of the negro wage-earners,
-classified by sex, among the five occupation groups and by groups of
-states. The length of each bar represents 100 per cent., and each bar is
-divided proportionately among the different occupation groups. Thus from
-it we read that in the northeastern states 15 per cent. of the male
-wage-earners were engaged in agriculture, 56 per cent. in personal
-service, 16 per cent. in trade and transportation, 12 per cent. in
-manufactures, and 2 per cent. in the professions.
-
-It is seen that a far larger proportion of male wage-earners were
-engaged in agriculture in the southern states than in the northern and
-western states, the proportion in the two groups of the former states
-being 64 and 71 per cent., while in the northeastern states only 15 per
-cent. were engaged in agriculture, in the north central states 26 per
-cent., and in the western states 17 per cent.
-
-In trade and transportation the highest proportion was found in the
-northeastern states, where it was 16 per cent.; in the north central
-states it was 14 and in the western states 10 per cent., while in the
-southeastern states it was 7 per cent. and in the south central states 7
-per cent.
-
-Of course, the magnitude of the proportion in the northeastern states is
-due to the fact that this is the commercial and manufacturing section of
-the country, where a large proportion of all the population is engaged
-in these avocations. The same is the case, though in less degree, in the
-north central states, while the southern states are almost purely
-agricultural. The figures relating to manufacturing occupations show
-similar characteristics. It will be noted that in the northern and
-western states the occupations of the negroes were more diversified than
-in the southern states. Agriculture and personal service in the
-northeastern states occupied but 71 per cent. of all wage-earners, in
-the north central states they occupied 75 per cent., and in the western
-states 81 per cent., while in the southeastern states these two
-occupation groups comprised 84 per cent. and in the south central 88 per
-cent. of all.

-
-[Illustration:
-
- Proportions of Males and Females among the Negro Wage-earners.
-
- Diagram No. 8.
-]
-
-The diagram shows in a similar manner the distribution of the female
-negro wage-earners. There were engaged in agriculture in the northern
-and western states but a trifling proportion of negro women, while in
-the southern states as a whole nearly one-half of the female negro
-wage-earners were engaged in that avocation. On the other hand, personal
-service occupied fully nine-tenths of the female wage-earners in the
-northern and western states, while in the southern states less than
-one-half were engaged in it. Indeed, 94 per cent. of the female
-wage-earners of the west were engaged in personal service, 91 per cent.
-in the northeastern states, and 87 per cent. in the north central
-states. In trade and transportation the proportion was trifling, and in
-manufactures it was small, although much larger in the north and west
-than in the south.
-
-Here, also, we see that agriculture and personal service occupied nearly
-all wage-earners—91 per cent. in the northeastern states, 96 per cent.
-in the southeastern states, 89 per cent. in the north central states, 97
-per cent. in the south central states, and 95 per cent. in the western
-states. Occupations were slightly more diversified in the north and west
-than in the southern states, as was the case with the males.
-
-
- OCCUPATIONS BY STATES.
-
-It will now be of interest to extend this study in detail by states,
-but, in doing so, the study will be confined to the southern, the former
-slave states, which are, in a sense, the home of the negro, and in which
-more than nine-tenths of them live. In most of the northern states the
-number of negroes is so small that any conclusions drawn from statistics
-regarding them are worthless and are likely to be misleading.
-
-Diagram No. 8 shows the distribution by sex of the negro wage-earners of
-these southern states. The total length of the bar represents in each
-case all the wage-earners, the white portion representing the males and
-the shaded portion the females.
-
-This diagram shows that the greatest proportion of female wage-earners
-is in the District of Columbia, where it is nearly one-half of all negro
-wage-earners, and the least in West Virginia, where it is less than
-one-fifth of all. In most of the cotton states it ranges from one-fourth
-to one-third of all negro wage-earners.
-
-Diagrams Nos. 9 and 10 present the proportion of male and of female
-negro wage-earners who are engaged in agriculture, personal service, and
-other occupations in the southern states.
-
-The first of these diagrams, representing male wage-earners, shows that
-agriculture and personal service accounted for from 63 to 94 per cent.
-of all male wage-earners. Indeed, excluding the District of Columbia
-from consideration, from 73 to 93 per cent. were accounted for by these
-two occupations.
-
-Again excluding the District of Columbia, which is not a farming
-community, the male wage-earners who were farmers constituted in the
-different states proportions varying from 36 per cent. in Missouri to 85
-per cent. in Mississippi. The proportion of farmers was highest in the
-cotton states and decidedly less in the border states. On the other
-hand, the proportion of males engaged in personal service was least in
-the cotton states and increased decidedly in those further north.
-
-The second diagram, illustrating the occupations of female wage-earners,
-has certain features in common with that relating to males, but these
-features are more accented. In the cotton states a large proportion of
-the female wage-earners worked in the fields, and was therefore reported
-as engaged in agriculture, while in the border states but a small
-proportion was found there. On the other hand, domestic service claimed
-nearly all female wage-earners in the border states, but in the cotton
-states a relatively small proportion.
-
-Both the diagrams, and especially the first, show an important feature.
-In the cotton states wage-earners were almost entirely either farmers or
-those engaged in personal service, but in the states farther north these
-classes were relatively smaller and occupations were somewhat more
-varied.

-
- OWNERSHIP OF FARMS AND HOMES.
-
-The statistics of farm and home ownership and of mortgage indebtedness
-of the Eleventh Census throw some light upon the pecuniary condition of
-the negro race.
-
-The total number of farms and homes in the country in 1890 was
-12,690,152, of which the negroes occupied 1,410,769, or 11.1 per cent.
-The proportion of negroes to the total population was at that time 12.20
-per cent., showing a deficiency in the proportion occupying homes and
-farms when compared with the population.
-
-The number of farms in the country was 4,767,179. Of these, 549,642, or
-11.5 per cent., were occupied by negroes, being a proportion greater
-than that of farms and homes combined.
-
-The number of homes, as distinguished from farms, in the country was
-7,922,973, of which 861,137, or 10.9 per cent., were occupied by
-negroes, being a proportion less than that of farms and homes combined.
-
-Of the 549,632 farms in the country occupied by negroes, 120,738, or
-22.0 per cent., were owned by their occupants. The corresponding
-proportion for whites was 71.7 per cent. Of course, as regards tenants,
-the reverse was the case, the proportions being for whites 28.3 per
-cent, and for negroes 78.0 per cent. More than three-fourths of the
-farms occupied by negroes were rented; in other words, more than
-three-fourths of the negro farmers were tenants, while less than
-one-fourth of the white farmers were tenants.
-
-Of the farms owned by the negroes, 90.4 per cent. were without
-incumbrance. Of those owned by whites, 71.3 were without incumbrance,
-showing a much larger proportion encumbered than among those owned by
-negroes.
-
-Of 861,137 homes occupied by negroes in 1890, 143,550 were owned by
-their occupants and 717,587 were rented, the proportions being 19.0 per
-cent. and 81.0 per cent. Corresponding proportions for whites were 39.4
-per cent. and 60.6 per cent. Of the houses owned by negro occupants,
-126,264, or 87.7 per cent., were free and 12.3 encumbered. Corresponding
-figures for whites were 71.3 and 28.7 per cent., showing, as before, a
-much greater proportion of free holdings among negroes than among
-whites.
-
-Diagrams Nos. 11 and 12 summarize the above facts in graphic form. The
-total areas of the squares represent the number of farms and homes
-respectively, those occupied by whites and negroes respectively being
-represented by the rectangles into which the squares are divided by
-horizontal lines. The vertical lines sub-divide these rectangles into
-others proportional to the numbers occupied by owners without and with
-incumbrance, and by renters.
-
-The male negroes occupied in agriculture numbered, in 1890, 1,329,584.
-Of these, 510,619 occupied farms, the remainder, 818,965, being
-presumably farm laborers. The negro farmers, _i. e._, occupants of
-farms, constituted 38.3 per cent. of the male negroes engaged in
-agriculture, leaving 61.7 per cent. of the number as laborers. The
-corresponding figures for whites were 60.4 per cent. and 39.6 per cent.
-The proportion of negroes engaged in agriculture who were farmers—_i.
-e._, occupied farms—was, therefore, much smaller than that of the
-whites. In spite of this low comparative showing, however, it must be
-agreed that, considering all the attendant circumstances, the proportion
-of negro farm occupants—more than one-third of all negroes engaged in
-agriculture—is unexpectedly large.
-
-Summing up the salient points in this paper, it is seen that in the
-matter of occupations the negro is mainly engaged either in agriculture
-or personal service. He has, in a generation, made little progress in
-manufactures, transportation, or trade. In these two groups of
-occupations, males are in greater proportion engaged in agriculture and
-females in domestic service. They have, however, during this generation,
-made good progress toward acquiring property, especially in the form of
-homes and farms, and, in just so far as they have acquired possession of
-real estate, it is safe to say that they have become more valuable as
-citizens. The outlook for them is very favorable as agriculturists, but
-there is little prospect that the race will become an important factor
-in manufactures, transportation, or commerce.

-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread

-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.

-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-
-<p class='c011'>The Trustees of the John F. Slater Fund propose to publish from time to

-are designed to furnish information to those who are concerned in the administration
-of schools, and also to those who by their official stations are
-called upon to act or to advise in respect to the care of such institutions.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>The Trustees believe that the experimental period in the education of
-the blacks is drawing to a close. Certain principles that were doubted thirty
-years ago now appear to be generally recognized as sound. In the next
-thirty years better systems will undoubtedly prevail, and the aid of the
-separate States is likely to be more and more freely bestowed. There will
-also be abundant room for continued generosity on the part of individuals
-and associations. It is to encourage and assist the workers and the thinkers
-that these papers will be published.</p>

-will be the utterance of the writer whose name is attached to it,

-7,470,040, 3,073,123, or 41.1 per cent., were engaged in gainful
-occupations. The proportion was much greater than with
-the total population. This total population, however, was
-composed of several diverse elements, including, besides the
-negroes themselves, the foreign born (of which a large proportion
-were adult males), and the native whites. The following
-table presents the proportions of each of these elements which
-were engaged in gainful occupations:</p>

-<p class='c010'><span class='pageno' id='Page_6'>6</span>The diagram No. 1 sets forth these figures in graphic form.
-The total area of the square represents the population. This
-is sub-divided by horizontal lines into rectangles representing
-the various elements of the population, and the shaded part of
-each rectangle represents the proportions engaged in gainful
-occupations.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>The proportion was greatest among the foreign born because
-of the large proportion of adults, and particularly of males,
-among this element. Next to that, the proportion was greatest
-among the negroes, being much greater than among the whites
-collectively and still greater than among the native whites.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Classifying the wage-earners of the country in respect to
-race and nativity, it appears that 64.5 per cent. were native
-whites, 22 per cent. were of foreign birth, and 13.5 per cent.
-were negroes.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Analyzing the statistics of occupation by sex, it is discovered
-that the proportion of native white males who had occupations
-was 53.4 and of females 9.4 per cent. The corresponding
-proportion of male negroes was 56.3 per cent. and of female
-negroes 26.0 per cent. The male negroes were slightly more
-fully occupied than were the native whites, while among females
-the proportion of wage-earners was much greater. The difference
-between native whites and negroes in the proportion of
-wage-earners was, therefore, due mainly to the fuller occupation
-of women. To put it in another form: Out of every
-hundred native whites who pursued gainful occupations, 85
-were males and 15 were females. Of every hundred negroes,
-69 were males and 31 were females. Indeed, a larger proportion
-of women pursued gainful occupations among negroes
-than in any other class of the population.</p>
-
-<h3 class='c012'><span class='sc'>Classification of Occupations.</span></h3>
-
-<p class='c013'>The primary classification of occupations made by the Census
-recognized five great groups, as follows: 1. Professions; 2.
-Agriculture; 3. Trade and transportation; 4. Manufactures;
-5. Personal Service. These titles are self-explanatory, with
-the possible exception of the last class, which is mainly composed
-of domestic servants.</p>

-<p class='c010'>Similar facts are shown by diagram No. 2. In this the total
-area of the square represents the number of persons in the
-country pursuing gainful occupations. This is divided into
-rectangles by horizontal lines, the rectangles being proportioned
-respectively to the numbers of the native whites, the foreign
-born, and the negroes. The sub-division of these rectangles
-by vertical lines indicates the proportion in each group of
-wage-earners.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>The most striking facts brought out by this table and diagram
-are that only a trifling proportion of the negroes were
-in the professions, that much more than one-half were farmers,
-and nearly one-third were engaged in personal (mainly domestic)
-service. Indeed, over seven-eighths of them were either
-farmers or servants. The proportions engaged in trade and
-transportation and in manufactures were very small. In respect
-to the farming class, they contrasted sharply with the
-foreign born. In trade and transportation and in manufactures
-the contrast was even greater, in the contrary direction.
-The foreign born contained a much larger proportion of professional
-men.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Comparing the negroes with the native whites, equally
-interesting contrasts appear. Professional men were much
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_8'>8</span>more numerous among whites than among negroes. The proportion
-of the farming class, although much smaller, was nearer
-that of the negroes than was the same class among the foreign
-born. In trade and transportation and in manufactures the
-native whites had much greater proportions, while in personal
-service the proportion was much less than that of the
-negroes.</p>

-
-<p class='c013'>It will be interesting to analyze these figures further. The

-<p class='c010'>These figures are also illustrated by diagram No. 3, the area
-of which represents all negro wage-earners. The two rectangles
-into which it is divided represent the males and females;
-each of these is sub-divided into rectangles representing the
-number in each group of occupations. Of the male negro
-wage-earners, more than three-fifths were farmers and a little
-less than one-fourth were servants. The two classes jointly
-accounted for nearly 85 per cent. of all.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Of the females, considerably less than one-half were farmers
-and more than one-half were servants—the two classes together

- <h3 class='c012'><span class='sc'>Proportion of Wage-Earners to Population.</span></h3>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c013'>The foregoing diagram No. 4 shows by the length of the
-bars the proportion which the negro wage-earners bore in
-1890 to the negro population of each state. This proportion
-was greatest in the states and the territories of the west. Following
-these are the northeastern states, while the lower part
-of the column is made up of the states in the upper Mississippi
-valley and those of the south.</p>
-
-<h3 class='c012'><span class='sc'>Occupations by Groups of States.</span></h3>
-
-<p class='c013'>The distribution of wage-earners among the five occupation
-groups differed widely in different parts of the country. To
-study it, it will be sufficient to group the states and analyze
-the statistics of each group.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>The groups which will be used here are those which have
-been in use in the last two censuses—namely, the northeastern
-and southeastern, north central and south central, and western
-groups. The states and territories of which each group is
-composed are shown in map No. 5.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Examination of the states forming the above groups will
-show that the groups are in many respects very characteristic.
-The southeastern and south central groups contain nine-tenths
-of the negroes of the country. These states may be said to
-constitute the home of the negro, while in the northern and
-western states he is an immigrant.</p>
-
-<h3 class='c012'><span class='sc'>Occupations by Sex and State Groups.</span></h3>
-
-<p class='c013'>Diagram No. 6 shows the distribution by sex and by groups
-of states of the negro wage-earners. It appears that in the
-northeastern, southeastern, and south central groups two-thirds
-of the wage-earners were males and one-third were females,
-while in the north central and western groups about five-sixths
-were males and one-sixth only were females. This is in part
-due to the disproportionate number of males in these parts of
-the country.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'><span class='pageno' id='Page_12'>12</span>Diagram No. 7 shows the distribution of the negro wage-earners,
-classified by sex, among the five occupation groups
-and by groups of states. The length of each bar represents
-100 per cent., and each bar is divided proportionately among
-the different occupation groups. Thus from it we read that
-in the northeastern states 15 per cent. of the male wage-earners
-were engaged in agriculture, 56 per cent. in personal service,
-16 per cent. in trade and transportation, 12 per cent. in manufactures,
-and 2 per cent. in the professions.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>It is seen that a far larger proportion of male wage-earners
-were engaged in agriculture in the southern states than in the
-northern and western states, the proportion in the two groups
-of the former states being 64 and 71 per cent., while in the
-northeastern states only 15 per cent. were engaged in agriculture,
-in the north central states 26 per cent., and in the western
-states 17 per cent.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>In trade and transportation the highest proportion was found
-in the northeastern states, where it was 16 per cent.; in the
-north central states it was 14 and in the western states 10 per
-cent., while in the southeastern states it was 7 per cent. and
-in the south central states 7 per cent.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Of course, the magnitude of the proportion in the northeastern
-states is due to the fact that this is the commercial and
-manufacturing section of the country, where a large proportion
-of all the population is engaged in these avocations. The
-same is the case, though in less degree, in the north central
-states, while the southern states are almost purely agricultural.
-The figures relating to manufacturing occupations show similar
-characteristics. It will be noted that in the northern and
-western states the occupations of the negroes were more diversified
-than in the southern states. Agriculture and personal
-service in the northeastern states occupied but 71 per cent. of
-all wage-earners, in the north central states they occupied 75
-per cent., and in the western states 81 per cent., while in the
-southeastern states these two occupation groups comprised 84
-per cent. and in the south central 88 per cent. of all.</p>

-</div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c010'><span class='pageno' id='Page_13'>13</span>The diagram shows in a similar manner the distribution of
-the female negro wage-earners. There were engaged in agriculture
-in the northern and western states but a trifling proportion
-of negro women, while in the southern states as a whole
-nearly one-half of the female negro wage-earners were engaged
-in that avocation. On the other hand, personal service occupied
-fully nine-tenths of the female wage-earners in the northern
-and western states, while in the southern states less than
-one-half were engaged in it. Indeed, 94 per cent. of the
-female wage-earners of the west were engaged in personal
-service, 91 per cent. in the northeastern states, and 87 per
-cent. in the north central states. In trade and transportation
-the proportion was trifling, and in manufactures it was
-small, although much larger in the north and west than in
-the south.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Here, also, we see that agriculture and personal service
-occupied nearly all wage-earners—91 per cent. in the northeastern
-states, 96 per cent. in the southeastern states, 89 per
-cent. in the north central states, 97 per cent. in the south
-central states, and 95 per cent. in the western states. Occupations
-were slightly more diversified in the north and west
-than in the southern states, as was the case with the males.</p>
-
-<h3 class='c012'><span class='sc'>Occupations by States.</span></h3>
-
-<p class='c013'>It will now be of interest to extend this study in detail by
-states, but, in doing so, the study will be confined to the
-southern, the former slave states, which are, in a sense, the
-home of the negro, and in which more than nine-tenths
-of them live. In most of the northern states the number
-of negroes is so small that any conclusions drawn from statistics
-regarding them are worthless and are likely to be misleading.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Diagram No. 8 shows the distribution by sex of the negro
-wage-earners of these southern states. The total length of the
-bar represents in each case all the wage-earners, the white portion
-representing the males and the shaded portion the females.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'><span class='pageno' id='Page_14'>14</span>This diagram shows that the greatest proportion of female
-wage-earners is in the District of Columbia, where it is nearly
-one-half of all negro wage-earners, and the least in West Virginia,
-where it is less than one-fifth of all. In most of the
-cotton states it ranges from one-fourth to one-third of all
-negro wage-earners.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Diagrams Nos. 9 and 10 present the proportion of male
-and of female negro wage-earners who are engaged in agriculture,
-personal service, and other occupations in the southern
-states.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>The first of these diagrams, representing male wage-earners,
-shows that agriculture and personal service accounted for from
-63 to 94 per cent. of all male wage-earners. Indeed, excluding
-the District of Columbia from consideration, from 73 to
-93 per cent. were accounted for by these two occupations.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Again excluding the District of Columbia, which is not a
-farming community, the male wage-earners who were farmers
-constituted in the different states proportions varying from 36
-per cent. in Missouri to 85 per cent. in Mississippi. The proportion
-of farmers was highest in the cotton states and decidedly
-less in the border states. On the other hand, the proportion
-of males engaged in personal service was least in the cotton
-states and increased decidedly in those further north.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>The second diagram, illustrating the occupations of female
-wage-earners, has certain features in common with that relating
-to males, but these features are more accented. In the
-cotton states a large proportion of the female wage-earners
-worked in the fields, and was therefore reported as engaged in
-agriculture, while in the border states but a small proportion
-was found there. On the other hand, domestic service claimed
-nearly all female wage-earners in the border states, but in the
-cotton states a relatively small proportion.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Both the diagrams, and especially the first, show an important
-feature. In the cotton states wage-earners were almost
-entirely either farmers or those engaged in personal service,
-but in the states farther north these classes were relatively
-smaller and occupations were somewhat more varied.</p>

- <h3 class='c012'><span class='sc'>Ownership of Farms and Homes.</span></h3>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c013'>The statistics of farm and home ownership and of mortgage
-indebtedness of the Eleventh Census throw some light upon
-the pecuniary condition of the negro race.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>The total number of farms and homes in the country in 1890
-was 12,690,152, of which the negroes occupied 1,410,769, or
-11.1 per cent. The proportion of negroes to the total population
-was at that time 12.20 per cent., showing a deficiency
-in the proportion occupying homes and farms when compared
-with the population.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>The number of farms in the country was 4,767,179. Of these,
-549,642, or 11.5 per cent., were occupied by negroes, being
-a proportion greater than that of farms and homes combined.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>The number of homes, as distinguished from farms, in the
-country was 7,922,973, of which 861,137, or 10.9 per cent.,
-were occupied by negroes, being a proportion less than that of
-farms and homes combined.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Of the 549,632 farms in the country occupied by negroes,
-120,738, or 22.0 per cent., were owned by their occupants.
-The corresponding proportion for whites was 71.7 per cent.
-Of course, as regards tenants, the reverse was the case, the
-proportions being for whites 28.3 per cent, and for negroes
-78.0 per cent. More than three-fourths of the farms occupied
-by negroes were rented; in other words, more than three-fourths
-of the negro farmers were tenants, while less than one-fourth
-of the white farmers were tenants.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Of the farms owned by the negroes, 90.4 per cent. were
-without incumbrance. Of those owned by whites, 71.3 were
-without incumbrance, showing a much larger proportion encumbered
-than among those owned by negroes.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Of 861,137 homes occupied by negroes in 1890, 143,550
-were owned by their occupants and 717,587 were rented, the
-proportions being 19.0 per cent. and 81.0 per cent. Corresponding
-proportions for whites were 39.4 per cent. and 60.6
-per cent. Of the houses owned by negro occupants, 126,264,
-or 87.7 per cent., were free and 12.3 encumbered. Corresponding
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_16'>16</span>figures for whites were 71.3 and 28.7 per cent., showing,
-as before, a much greater proportion of free holdings among
-negroes than among whites.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Diagrams Nos. 11 and 12 summarize the above facts in
-graphic form. The total areas of the squares represent the
-number of farms and homes respectively, those occupied by
-whites and negroes respectively being represented by the rectangles
-into which the squares are divided by horizontal lines.
-The vertical lines sub-divide these rectangles into others proportional
-to the numbers occupied by owners without and with
-incumbrance, and by renters.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>The male negroes occupied in agriculture numbered, in 1890,
-1,329,584. Of these, 510,619 occupied farms, the remainder,
-818,965, being presumably farm laborers. The negro farmers,
-<i>i. e.</i>, occupants of farms, constituted 38.3 per cent. of the male
-negroes engaged in agriculture, leaving 61.7 per cent. of the
-number as laborers. The corresponding figures for whites were
-60.4 per cent. and 39.6 per cent. The proportion of negroes
-engaged in agriculture who were farmers—<i>i. e.</i>, occupied
-farms—was, therefore, much smaller than that of the whites.
-In spite of this low comparative showing, however, it must be
-agreed that, considering all the attendant circumstances, the
-proportion of negro farm occupants—more than one-third of
-all negroes engaged in agriculture—is unexpectedly large.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>Summing up the salient points in this paper, it is seen that
-in the matter of occupations the negro is mainly engaged either
-in agriculture or personal service. He has, in a generation,
-made little progress in manufactures, transportation, or trade.
-In these two groups of occupations, males are in greater proportion
-engaged in agriculture and females in domestic service.
-They have, however, during this generation, made good progress
-toward acquiring property, especially in the form of
-homes and farms, and, in just so far as they have acquired
-possession of real estate, it is safe to say that they have become
-more valuable as citizens. The outlook for them is very
-favorable as agriculturists, but there is little prospect that the
-race will become an important factor in manufactures, transportation,
-or commerce.</p>

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
