displacc us. and leave us to the poverty and
wrctchedness that will come OF our " mall
ference. Industry finds something to DO al
fact that whatever is worth doing at all, IT is
worth doing we'll. 1t also recognizes the JUS
ticc Of giving the full amount of labor that is
due before it can claim its compensation; 1t
frowns upon all Striking as dishonOrable and
unjust. 1t lays the foundation for success and
independence by answering fidelity to its
contracts. Labor is dlgnifying; nothing
thrivcS without it. 1t is not, as some think, Il
discrcdit, compromise Of our standing:
"Uoror and shame from, no condition rise,
Act we'll your part, there all the honor lies"

and honest laborcrS. In this you will find a

there is no Surcr way of being left to yourself.
The inhabitants of Sritain rose from dwellers
in caves to the occupants of palaces by indus
try. The men who have accomplished the
most in arts, literature and mechanical skill
did so, not so much by their genius as by IN
dnstry applied to the mind as we'll as the
body. Industry weeds the corn, cleans the
cotton, gathers the rice, stems the tobacco,
suws the grain, and by the diligcnt use Of the
head and the hand succeeds in the great work
of life. Genius, wealth and greatness are dor
mant in the womb of industry. 1t makes the
successful farmer, the skilful mechanic, the
wealthy merchant, the independent gentle
man, the refined and accomplished lady, the
powerful race, and the great and prosperous
nation.

The Education Of the "Negr0."

While we favor the higher education for
those who expect to enter sonc one of the pro
LESSONS, or who feel called OF God to the work
Of the ministry, we are convinced that for the
most of our youth the training most needed
is Elementary and industrial. We have to con
fcss that the colOrcd youth has laborcd under
great encouragement in his efforts to acquire
a trade. Prejudice here, as well as elsewhere,
which will take such an apprentices. where
there are whites! But, thank God, this diff.
Guilty is largely removed by the mechanical
schools attached to those institutions of learn,
like Claiiin University, In this State; Clarke
University, in Georgia; Hampton Institute, III
Virginia, and similar ones scattered over the
South. If anything like pride dcters any OF
our youth from learning trades, let us warn
them that they will in the future pay dearly
for it. Manual education is the preparation for
Il future work, to meet future obligations and
responsibilities, hence the necessity OF fitting
ourselves for it.
1t is said by an able writer thai" "a man III
trained in any labor, unskillcd in useful
ness to society, is n barbarian, for civilized so
cicty rests upon the idea of mutual and skill.
cd hclprulncSs on the part of all its members
see, and hence their desire to break away from
school and the workshop, and with raw hands
and minds go out to earn, as by chance, q few
dollars to waste in pleasure.
The Rev. y. D. Mayo, of Boston, says: "Tho
first thing that the i~llitcrata classes need CIV,
erEwhcre in our country for their permanent
industrial Il ovation is six months in each year
OF thorough elementary. training in schools
managed by good teachers, for five or six
years OC their lives; and only Il generation 81
taught can ever learn to work in connection
with the labor-Saring agencies which are revo
lu~tioEiZing every sphere of human industry
Again, the necessity OF learning trades is seen
in the fact that the South is in need Of moro
skilled laborcrs, and the c9lored youth, who Ii
wise, will prepare himself to meet this de.
mand, otherwise, another class will be called
to supply it, while they are forced to remain
"hcwers OF wood and drawers of water"
Says Prof. George Magoun, of Iowa College
"The labor Of the South is subject in these
years to q marvellous revolution. The only
opportunity the freedman has to rise is by fur:
niSling such skilled labor as the great changes
going on in that splendid section Of the land
requires. How can he furnish 1t unless the cd;
ucati0n given him is chiefly industrial and
technically The colorcd man Us wagc-worker
and producer is in the majority in this sections
let him hold his position by improving his OPP
portunity; by growth in skill and experience
and, with all his disabilities, he will so success
fully cope with others us to maintain his III
dependence.

Economy the Surcst Road to Wealth.

But Il necessary cOncOmltan 10 Sucn attall-
mcnt is economy, both of time and of means.
1t is the judiciOuS management of all our pos
sessions in a manner that will preserve for 1u-
ture needs whatever there is in them of value,
be it money, strength or skill. One has said
that ECONOMY il wralth )" therefore gather up
the fragments that nothing be lost. 1t IS not
so much what we make as what is saved that
brings wealth. 1t is easier to cage the bird in
hand than it is to catch and then cage it. 1t is
better to save ten cents of the money earned
each day than to wait until higher wages Will
warrant the saving of fifty cents per day. You
can do this by cutting Off the luXurics..
What is q necessity in the house of the man
worth SN,Oo is a luxury in the house of the
man worth but S25,0W; and what is Il necessity
in the family worth $4,000 is a luxury In the
family of the laboring man working every day
for his daily bread. Propcrty-holdcrs are q
power among every race; the oppressed and
dcSpiScd arc the poor and the Ignorant. NO
man is likely to question the right of a man to
act and think for himself who has by his In
duStry and economy accumulated his SlO,W O
or $20,N0. Wealth, as we'll as knowledge, is
power! LoOl at the foreigners who como to
our country; saving their pennies by learning
to live upon a little, they are soon able to help
their oppressed people across the waters. TO
be able to resist oppression, among other
things, you must have money. Without q
competency the race can never reach the de:
sired position to make it independent and
happy.

On Monday, September 2Sth, the
Detroit Daily Free Press passed its
fiftieth birthday, and celebrated the
occasion by a history of the paper and
its various managers. The present
editor-in-chief, VIM. E. Quinby, be-
came the principal owner of the Free
Press, January 1st, 1875, and has
managed the paper since. Under
Mr.. Quinby's management, and with
the assistance Of an able corps of
newsgatherers, the Free Press has be-
come the leading newspaper of the
State ofMichigan, and the circulation
has immensely increased. During
the last week of the fiftieth year.. the
circulation was 125,526 copies. Its
advertising patronage is large. The
Office is at the corner of Larned and
Shelby streets. Detroit, and a large
five story building is required to do
the business in. Some idea can be
formed Of the size of the Free Press
establishment, from the number of
men employed in the building:
