what Protection IL Doing.

The remarkable growth of our manufacturing
establishments since the policy Of protecting
our industry was revived at the beginning of
the war, ought forever to close the mouths
Of free trade demagogues and would, were
not their personal interests best promoted
by the anti-American policy they 80 clamor-
ously support. Facts taken from the last
census report show that in no period of our
history has this branch Of industry increased
at so rapid rate as since 1860, nolwlthstand-
ing the rebellion.
According to thesc statistics, there were
at that time in the United States liU, ij3
manufacturing establishments Of all de7rrlp-
252, l43, or nearly doubled. At the former
date, the whole number employed was |, =.
3ll ,245 while in 1870 the whole number of
hands WAS 1858, 1888, a proportion Of Increase
slightly less than at the beginning of the
decade, showing the average number EN-
p!oyed In each establishment TO have some
what increased The annual cost Of labor
in 1860 was 1878 900, an average Of
52sS.9i to every person employed. In 1870
the whole amount paid in wages was 49,
02l ,593, giving an average OF s3I2.b5 to each
OF the 2,O53, 1913 employees. This shows an
average increase Of a83.7l In the annual
pay Of each operative, 1t being understood
that this affords no criterion Of the amount
paid to workingmen and women, because In
the census returns boys and girls, whose
cOmpen -ation Is often nominal, rank with
full hands"
Let US look still further. Ia 1860 the total
value Of all manufactures produced ia this
country was So, 34G ,86i, 2l5-something more
than the present amount Of the national
debt. la 1870 the aggregate amount was
a, 232 G2j, 392, an increase Of very nearly
one hundred per cent. From the same tables
it appears that the amount Of capital invested
in manufacturing enterprises has about dou-
bled ia the decade we are considering.
These are figures which it is we'll for the
opponents Of protection to ponder carefully.
None can deny that they have added the
largest share to the material wealth Of the
country, and furnished work at good wages
to thousand. upon thousands who now en- Joy
comfortable homes in consequence. How
could this have been brought about had our
markets been thrown open to the pauPer
labor products Of the oil world?
As an Offset to this, England bought Of
other nations 52os 100000 worth 81 cotton,
bat a tribe over one-hall OF which was frora
the United States, against ave-sixths, Or 90
pounds 20 every Il from other countries, be-
fore the var. The value Of bread stuhs
bough. ol al other nations during the same
year amounted to s235 ,OO3 900. but about
half Of which was from us.

Interesting Facts from Tie Census.

We find making the circuit Cf the press
some facts compiled from the last census re-
port, BY whom it is not stated, which are Gu
rious as well as instructive. Those regard
ing births are important, inasmuch as they
upset the theory that the original native
stock is dying out Of the country, but we
omit the details. 1t appears from this state
ment that more children are born in Decem-
Der, January, February, March, April, and
May than in any other months in the year,
the preponderance being rather in favor Of
March Of all the months. The tables Of IL
literacy are very interesting. Of the persons
who cannot read and write, in City principal
cities of the Union, New York has G2,o0o, Of
of which 5000 are foreign bora; Philadel-
phia, ~ 600; Brooklyn, Ij,Oo0; st Louis,
l9 ,0O0 Chicago, 10000; Baltimore, q, 900 !;
Boston, 5000; Cincinnati, 5000; New Or
leans, 81, 600: and San Francisco, 5000.
OF teachers in the public schools, New
York has ll,678; Pennsylvania, li.lO7 !;
Ohio, II AS; Illinois, 1850; Missouri,
1890; Indiana, SSH; Kentucky, 4,127.
These seven States employ something over
half Of all the teachers Of the public schools
in the United States. OF the remaining
States Massachusetts, has 5,lC0 and Michi-
gan, 5,4l4; Iowa, 1872, and Wisconsin,
4,5j9.
There are 5,s7l newspapers and period.
Gals published in the United States, issuing
in the aggregate sos, 54s 80 copies annu-
ally. OF these New York has e31, issuing
47l,7il,744 copies yearly. Pennsylvania
stands next, having $40 papers and Issuing
24l, l1O,54o. Illinois comes next, with 500

800, issuing - ,54s, STA. Indiana, Iowa,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, and Cali

Is 600 more for the same services, think from
sl00 to $50 a month quite enough for clerks,
and refuse to add dollar to the pay OF ladies'
who are receiving from 40 to SO month.
They may be able to satisfy the people iliat
their services are worth 800 year aud
expenses, and that they have acted justly
and honestly in refusing to increase the pay
Of poor women and deserving, competent
clerks, many Of whom have lost limbs in the
service Of the country. But we think not
We are willing. however, to wait for the YER
dict of the people. All we ask OF them :
that in rendering the verdict they will keepIn
mind that members Of Congress already re-
ceiving salary of 1860 or $500 month,
according TO the length Of the session, have
voted themselves ssC0 month for the
short and sl $50 for the long session, under
the false pretense that they cannot live re-
specially on their present salaries.
But the worst part Of the bill increasing
this pay of members is its retroactive feature.
If the people will justify this increase of the
salaries OF members of the next Congress, to
which majority of them belong, it is quite
certain they will not approve the extension
Of its provisions backward to the beginning
of the Congress just closed. Each member OF
Congress, by this provision, pockets $1,000
more than he was entitled to when elected
two years ago, amounting in the aggregate
TO 81, Tl5 900, and to SOLO, 900 annually here
after. More than a million and quarter Of
dollars was thus lilched from the Treasury
beyond what they were entitled by law two
days before.
| And what can be said Of the conduct OF
members openly and indecently violating the
rule of the House which Speaker Blaine only
day or two before enforced against Mr..
Hooper, that no member can cote an Jaror
of a question IN Ehich he has personal interest.
Mr.. Hooper owned stock in the Pacific rail-
road, and was therefore prohibited from voting
on question touching the interests OF that
road. But no objection was made to men
voting for a bill which put five thousand dol
lars into the pockets Of each member Of the
Congress just ended, and ten thousand dol
lars into the pockets Of each one who is also
elected to the next Congress! This is strain
ing at a gnat and swallowing camel with

Howard University

On Thursday evening oil last week the
graduates in law Of Howard University re-
ceiycd their diplomas at the Congregational
Church. at which time oTati0ns were listened
to from eight Of the sixteen graduates. The
subjects were treated in a manner to con-
vince all hearers Of the studousuesS Of the
graduates as well as Of the devotion Of the
instructors to the welfare Of the students.
In another column We publish report of the
exercises which we take from the Wash
ington Republican.
Howard University is sending out into The
world yearly goodly number of educated
young colored men, who ought to make
themselves felt in the work Of obtaining for
their race respect for loyalty to their own
interests as an outraged yet highly deserving
people. The race needs all the aid of INTEL
ligence and experience it can muster for the
next generation, in order to protect Itself from
the insidious influence Of pretended friends.
Until the black man in this country is as free
in every respect as all other races Of men nc
has a separate and distinct interest to be ad-
yocated, and he must labor for that interest
with all the strength Of his affection and
the power Of his intellect.
Tho movement of the uurderous Colonial
ton Society, with its assumed piety, to lure
to destruction our race is to be fought step
BY step by the intelligence and energy Of both
our educated young and old men. Our civil
rights must be protected and our people
must be taught to distinguish between lnsln-
ceritv AMI sincerity and not allow themselves
to be duped into choosing men to represent
many Of the members Of the past Congress
who were chosen by cClored voters.
The graduates in law or medicine from
Howard University cannot be assured Of a
proper recognition Of their worth and ability
so long as the race with which they are iien-
titled are denied the common rights Of hui
manity and can be made victims Of the
diabolism of pretended Christianity. These
young graduates must lay hold ofthe work OF
elevating their race, a work for which their
education amply qualities them, for in that
elevation lies their own-and without it their
efforts can only meet WIN exceptional 7uc-
cess.
The following are the graduates John II.
Butler, Jr, Maryland; Gabriel l.. Ford,
Kentucky; J. Malcolm Hawke5worth, Penn
sylvania; John s. Leary, North Carolina :
Joseph E. Lee, Pennsylvania William T..
Matthews, Maryland; Oliver G.. Morgan,
Mississippi; John y. Moss, Virginia; Joseph
c. Rock, Vermont; James Il. Smith, District
of Columbia; Durham W. Stevens, Ohio ;
Henry o. Wagner, Jr,, Colorado Territory ;
William Waring, Ohio; Thomas D. Wheeler,
Pennsylvania.
In the attachments OF these young men and
the ability exhibited on Thursday evening
Prof John n. Langston, Dean Law Faculty,
has reason for pride and qualification.
