II We lhkb lub average COhl OF THESE ma
nures, we find it to be about S43 Il, and the
average actual value is only S33. "A per ton,
so that the farmer who innocently buys a ton
each of these fertilizers is paying q profit of
thirty per cent to the manufacturers. / think
1t would not be an overestimate TO say that at
least a million tons OF these commercial ferti-
lizers are sold in the New England and Mid
die states each year and if that estimate is
not too large. then the farmers are paying ten
millions of dollars or more, yearly, for profit
TO the seller or dealer in these articles. The
sum is so large that have doubted the jus.
tice of my conclusions, but revision Of the
statement offers no evidence of error. 1t
would, Of course be too much TO say that so
large an amount of money is lost but we may
ask ourselves whether the price we pay is not
too great, and the profit extortionate. What
other legitimate business yields such dispro-
portionate profits, and what other class Of
men consents to be so victimized As ! OBJ
serve the oft recurring question, whether
farming is profitable, and then see the pri-
ces paid for msnures that the farmer could
often dispense with by economy and fore
thought, am compelled to the conclusion
that farming must be profitable occupation"
An exchange correspondent quotes the es-
timated value of fertilizers, as given above,
assuming that these values represent their
cost to the manufacturers. This is not in all
cases the fact, and, W. believe, not generally.
The materials used in the manufacture Of fer
tilizers are, in large part, purchased in a
coarse or crude state, as the offal from the
slaughter houses, phosphate rock, ETC., and
cost the manufacturer much less than the es-
timated values given in the experiment sta.
ton reports. Fertilizers can be sold at these
estimated values and afford the manufactur-
ers proft-frequently large profit. These
values are, in fact, as near as can be estima.
ted, the market value of the chemicals to
which the fertilizer owes its virtue, in pure
or uncombined state. No one should pay
more for chemicals in a fertilizer than they
would cost if purchased in a pure state. A
few fertilizers are sold for less than the value
of the chemicals which they contain in pure
state, and the manufacturers doubtless get a
good profit. The farmer who innocently
buys a ton of each of the fertilizers, whose
value is given in the above table, is paying a
profit of more than thirty per cent He is
paying, first, the cost of the fertilizer sec.
ond, fair profit on the cost and then thirty
per cent on the sum of the cost and first prof
it. But all these profits are not the manu-.

OUR TRAVELLING RIGHTS.

In speaking of the mean treat
ment of the colored people on rail
roads in the South, the New York
Globe speaks the sentiments OF every
honest man. First-class tickets
should not be sold to colored people
if they cannot ride in first-class cars.
No one appreciates the inconven-
fence of colored ladies and gentle
men being forced into dirty smok-
ing cars, unless they have seen it.
No man is entitled to freedom who
is not willing to fight and die for
his rights whenever it is necessary.
The Globe says:
ave do not council violence; we
council manly retaliation. We do
not council breach of the law, but
in the absence of law, in the absence
of proper police regulations, we
maintain that the individual has
every right, in law and equity, to
use every means in his power to
protect himself. In no case should
a colored man vacate a seat in o
railway car to the privileges OF
which he is entitled by the ticket,
or receipt for his money, which he
carries in his pocket. Each time
he does it he sacrifices his common
and inalienable rights-he opens a
way for the continuance of wrong,
outrage, and downright robbery.
What shonld he do? Why, stand
and fight it out. Look the william
squarely in the eye-strike, if he
strikes ; shoot, if he attempts to
shoot. The Globe believes that the
honest sentiment of the South and
North would vindicate such action,
and demand that robbery and inso-
lence should no longer victimize
men who "know. their rights and
dare defend them"

New Postmaster General.

The Indianapolis Leader speaking
of the new Post-master-General
says :
The selection of Judge Walter Q.
Gresham to succeed Mr.. Howe as
Postmaster-General meets with the
hearty appreciation of the people OF
Indiana and country generally.
President Arthur may congratulate
himself on his selection. as it could
not have fallen on a worthier man.
Judge Gresham has been a life
long Republican, and his record
shows him to have been a staunch
supporter of the rights'of men, ire
spective of color. He championed
the cause of the Negro at time
when it was very unpopular to do
so, and there are men standing high
in the Republican party in this state
to-day who publicly insulted him
because of his friendship for the op
pressed negro.
The colored people Of the country.
may well feel proud Of this appoint
ment, and may rest assured that
their interests will not suffer by the
change.

to trades and professions.

to trades and professions. All OF
the European nations consider it OF
the first Importance that not only
their boys but that their girls should
learn trades. Do we not see every
day the advantages enjoyed by those
who are masters Of trades over those
who have no trades? Take man
with trade, and put him down
anywhere in the world, and he will
make his way. The reasons are OBJ
vious. The unlearned or unskilled
form the great majority everywhere
Indeed, they are so numerous that
they are in each others way, and
hence the low rate of wages they re-
ceive. On the other hand skilled
mechanics are few. Hence they
command good wages. The demand
for skilled labor has always been
greater than the supply. And as
long as this fact exists there will be
no difficulty in mechanics obtaining
fair wages for their labor.
Let every colored head Of fam
lily in the land resolve at once that
he or she will have at least one child
in the family taught mechanics
trade. What say you? Shall it be
one?-PiHsburg Ne,oS.

OUR CHURCHES.

We have never taken up the sub

reasons. Some Of our friends think
we never give to the church because
they never see us march up the
aisle at collection time. We never

practice it. We send our little
mite up by the sexton. The fol
lowing, taken from the Chicago
cOnseruator, is about what we would

We have written upon the subject
SO often that it seems to us to be

that a duty is laid upon us to call

realized the value of skilled labor,
and therefore apprenticed their boys

"The colored Press has one duty
which it cannot justly put aside, to
the serious misfortune of our people.
We are too prone to applaud our
good deeds AMI excuse or close our
eyes to our bad ones. Now and
then we grow fearless in our attacks
of errors in politics, in business and
in social affairs. We rarely assail
the errors which stalk defantly in
the colored church. We desire to
call the attention of our confreres to
one browning evil of our church al
fairs-the manner of taking up
collections. The almost universal
habit of oul churches is to spend
about twenty minutes of each SER
vice in a species Of disgusting, back
woods promehading, trying to col
lect a few dollars that ought to be
contributed silently in three min
utes. No matter how fine the SER
mon is or how solemn the service,
the whole effect is soon lost in the
great begging and promenading act
which next follows. One of the
deacons or trustees then goes to the
front, and with a long face and
pathetic voice, tells the dear broth
ers and sisters that the coal is out,
that the gas bill is due, and the min
lister wants a little money. Every
service it is the same old story, a
regular beggar's plea for a few dol
lars. Then some brother is asked
to lead a lively hymn. He starts a
tune about as close to a waltz or
polka time as possible (; and then the
promenading begins. The old peo-
pie go up to encourage the young
ones, the young women go up to
show their clothes, and the young
men go up to mash the girls, SO
that the disgusting scene does more
harm in one Sunday than the min
lister can rectify in half dozen. The
habit is q relict of barbarism, is a
disgrace to our churches, and a
standing impeachment of our claims
to progress.
"The intelligent element Of ou1
people must take the matter in
hand. Our ministers, many of
whom recognize and decry the evil,
must inaugurate system of finan-
ces that evinces common sense and
propriety, and abolish this circus
like performance in the solemn SER
vice of the sanctuary. The press
must educate the people and help
to encourage the minister in this
needed reform, and our church peo-
pie must recognize that progress is
the watchword of the day, and that
the church of God should lead in
every good effort to elevate our race
to the rigid requirements Of the
age"

Coos berries and CurrantS.

In discussion on small fruits
before recent meeting of the Mas
sachusetts Horticultural Society, it
was advised to prune currants and
gooseberries as carefully as grape
vines. B. G. Smith related a sue
cessful experience with English
gooseberries by system of severe
pruning and heavy manuring,
which produced the requisite strong
growth of foliage. This grower
avoids stirring the soil in the spring
around gooseberries. because he be
lieves there will be less tendency to
mildeW. He does not regard
mulching as necessary, and has dis
covered that while the gooseberry
thrives under the morning and af-
ternoon SUP, it is injured by the
scOrching rays of the monday sun
therefore he selects a partially
shaded location for this fruit. Cur
rants also succeed best when parti-
ally shaded. A high board fence
makes a desirable. shade for either
Of the fruits mentioned.

A Tough Witness.

Not even lawyer, however skill
ful In cross-examination, can make
a witness tell the truth, providing the
witness wishes to evsde it. 1t is i'm
possible to put the question III such
exact language that it will demand
the desired answer. 1t was necessary
on certain occasion IN court, to
compel witness to testify as to the
way IN which a Mr.. Smith treated
his horse. "WelI sir" said the
lawyer with a sweet and winning
smile-a smile intended to drown all
suspicion, as to the Interior pur-
poses how does Mr.. Smith gener>
ally ride a horse2" The witness
looked up innocently and replied:
Generally a-straddle sir, believe"
The lawyer asked again: But sir
what gal. does he rider" The inn
perturable witness answered, HE
never rides any gate at all sir, but
I've seen Lis boys ride every gate on
the farm" The lawyer saw be vas
on the track OF Tartar, and his next
question was insinuating. ''HoW
does Mr.. Smith ride when he is in
company with others? l demand q
clear answer" well sir" said the
witness, ''he keeps up with the
rest if his horse ia abba to, or if not
he falls behind" The lawyer by
this time was almost beside himself,
and asked, "And how does he ride
when he is alone?" 81 don't Know"
was the reply, II never was with
him when he was alone" and there
the case dropped.
