'I'be A BARRIER TO INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS. 5 5 result was and now is that the poorer classes of white people will eke out a miserable existence at home, if they are fortunate enough to have such, rather than go into service as cooks, house- maids and the like ; or men as laborers, because the work is considered degrading — it is the func- tion of the negro. In order to be respected, I cannot and must not do a negroes' work. Gold, even at high prices, will not hire our white girls for cooks and hou...se-maids, although at home they have a scant existence, with clothes not the best. Oh, no, that is the negroes work, and I am better than a negro ; and while in need of better dresses and a better filled larder, still I cannot afford to put myself upon a common level with the negro; foolish condition it is true, but it is true notwithstanding. All of us here in the South know they are not so much to blame, for work does degrade and detract from one's social stand- ing.
