\one - third of the population of the south is of the negro race. no enterprise seeking the material, civil, or moral welfare of this section can disregard this element of our population and reach the highest success.
to those of the white race who look to the incoming of those of foreign birth and strange tongue and habits for the prosperity of the south, were i permitted i would repeat what i say to my own race, cast down your bucket where you are. cast it down among the eight millions of negroes whose habits you know, whose fidelity and love you have tested. cast down your bucket among these people who have, without strikes and labour wars, tilled your fields, cleared your forests, builded your railroads and cities, and brought forth treasures from the bowels of the earth, and helped make possible this magnificent representation of the progress of the south. casting down your bucket among my people, you will find that they will buy your surplus land, make blossom the waste places of your fields, and run your factories. we shall stand by you with a devotion that no foreigner can approach, ready to lay down our lives, if need be, in defence of yours, interlacing our industrial, commercial, civil, and religious life with yours, in a way that shall make the interests of both races one. in all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.\

general octavius v. pillow... suggested that a company be formed with a capital of half a...
which of the following describes a difference between washington’s and pillow’s arguments in the excerpts?
a washington argues in favor of bringing chinese immigrants into the united states, while pillow argues in favor of a ban on allowing any chinese immigration.
b washington asserts that there should be intimate cooperation on economic development, while pillow asserts that african americans should be excluded from the southern economy.
c pillow advocates against labor unions by southern agricultural workers, while washington advocates that african american agricultural workers should unionize until immigration is halted.
d pillow proposes that immigrant laborers should be recruited to work in agriculture, while washington proposes that african american laborers should be recruited instead.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option by comparing Washington's (from the Atlanta Exposition Address) and Pillow's views:

• Option A: Washington’s stance on Chinese immigration isn’t clear from the given text, and Pillow’s view on a total ban is unsubstantiated. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Washington emphasizes economic cooperation (e.g., “they will buy your surplus... run your factories”) and mutual progress. Pillow’s suggestion of a company for cotton (implied economic focus) vs. Washington’s call for shared economic development? No, the text doesn’t support Pillow advocating exclusion from the economy. Eliminate B.
• Option C: The text has Washington urging “cast down your bucket among my people” (African Americans as agricultural workers, mutual benefit) and Pillow’s “company for cotton” (agricultural enterprise). But the option’s wording about “labor unions” and “until emancipation” is inconsistent with the text. Eliminate C.
• Option D: Pillow proposes a company (for cotton, agricultural enterprise) to recruit immigrant labor. Washington proposes African Americans (his “people”) work in agriculture (mutual economic benefit). This matches the text: Washington’s “bucket” appeal (African Americans in agriculture) vs. Pillow’s immigrant labor for agriculture.

Answer:

D. Pillow proposes that immigrant laborers should be recruited to work in agriculture, while Washington proposes that African Americans work in agriculture.
