"The prejudice of white people against
the Colored race is not likely to disap-
pear-at least for many ages. While in
the North this feeling has excluded the
Negro from the hotels, restaurants,
theatres, sleeping-cars and from all other
public places which bring him in con-
tact with white people, in the South,
though it is not so strict In all these par
ticulars, distinctions are drawn which
are still more CALLING to his pride and
self-respect. Chicago Herald.
We are surprised to see the usually
accurate Herald make such statement
Any one who knows anything at all is
aware that the Negro is not excluded
from public places in the North. In
Chicago or St. Paul for instance Colored
people are sometimes refused accommo..
datioDs at public places but the case is
sporadic, the rule is to accommodate.
There are now in Chicago number Of
Colored men who are staying at the
Palmer House and other hotels. Col
ored people can eat in any of the strictly
first class restaurants and are refused
only at second and third class places.
No first class theatre discriminates
against Colored people. A second class
place refused to sell Colored LADY
dress circle seat some time since, but as
they had to pay $3.50 damages they
make no distinctions now. So far as
sleeping cars are concerned, Colored
people have never been barred from
them either in the North or in the
South. Years ago Pullman gave strict
orders that there should be no discrim-
lnation on account Of color. Nowhere
in the South are Colored people accom-
modated at hotels, restaurants or thea
tres. The white editor of the Herald
may not be able to see the difference
be tween the North and South but the
Colored editor Of The AppEAL knows
that there is difference.

PRICES UNDER PROTECTION.

PRICES UNDER PROTECTION.
Mechanics are interested in the price
and efficiency of tools, as all heads of
families are in the cost and utility of ar
ticles of household hardware and cut
lery. Once all these were imported
Their home manufacture has been fos-
tered by protective tariff in the face
of an opposition as vigorous as it was un-
firing, until today the United States is
we'll up on the list of nations exporting
certain lines of hardware in which SUI
periority of finish and durability d use
are prominent recommendations.
A few years ago, a select committee of
British parliament, after careful investi-
cation, enumerated forty-two articles of
hardware and machinery in the selling
of which Americans bad largely super
seeded English manufactures in certain
markets, including some of the British
colonies. Many of these articles, such
as axes, scissors, penknives, lamps
coffee mills, nails, clocks, watches, table
ware, ETC., are those common and nee
essary to every family. The list also in
cluded such farming implements as
buckets, corn crushers, cultivators, cot
ton gins, hay rakes, hoes, moving ma
chimes, scales, etc.
It can thus be seen that British states
men and manufacturers have found out
that Protection in the United States has
not made prices too high for outsiders
to buy, no matter, what their agents in
this country may contend in their effort
to have our markets opened to unre-
stricted foreign competition. And in
its demonstration of economical produc.
ton under Protection is to be found the
chief value of the fact cited by the par
]iamentary committee. 1t must not be,
permitted to lure voters from recogni-
ton Of the fact that the foreign market
is necessarily restricted by the lin
tied wants and the poverty Of
buyers, as well as the despera-
ton of those competitors whose!trade is
thus menaced. No foreign demund for
American manufacturers can So made

to compensate for the privilege of sup

consistent with the payment of fair

ways insure to American buyers the

STANDS At THE HEAD.

In the Matter of Circulation The AP-
PEAL stands at the head of all Afro
American Newspapers.
The combined circulation of THE AP-
PEAL exceeds the circulation of any Col
ored newspaper in America without a
single exception. According to the
American Newspaper Directory for 1890
the circulation of the principal Colored
papers is as follows: -
THE::APPEAL( Chicago edition only)4 coo
New York Age, 5000
Cleveland Gazette, 5000
Detroit Plaindealer, 1900
American Baptist, 1900
The Freeman, 1900
Star of Zion, 1850
Washington Bee, 1000
Chicago Conservator, 75C
Indianapolis World, 500
These figures are more eloquent than
words in showing how The APPEAL
stands in the estimation Of the Colored
people of the United States.
In the City of Chicago the circulation
of The APPEAL exceeds the combined
clrculations of all other Colored papers.
Every newsdealer in EChicago who
handles the Colored papers, sells more
copies ofTHE APPEAL than of any other
Afro-American paper. Ask your news
dealer if this is true.
Every letter carrier in the city of
Chicago delivers more copies of The AP-
PEAL than of any other Colored paper.
Ask your carrier if this is true. The AP-
PEAL leads-others follow. ..v.

Tinney-Dresser

Mr.. Albert T1nDey, Colored and Miss
Maude Dresser, white were to have
been married last Wednesday night at
Moody's church. The wedding took
place at Kline's Hall because the dea-
cons of the church refused to open it
and allow a mixed marriage to be cele-
brated within its sacred ~ walls The
hall was beautifully decorated with
flowers. The young people were mar
ried according to the Episcopal service
by Rev. T. Jenifer, The white gentle
man who raised Mr.. Tinney and the
parents of the bride were present as
were hundreds of friends. The two
races We're about evenly divided. They
congratulated the bride, and blacks and
whites kissed her. Blacks and whites
danced together.
Blacks and whites banqueted togeth.
er when supper was announced. These
things are common enough in Chicago
but the scene would have filled South
ern Bourbon with horror if one had
CHANGED to have been present.
That ''ofa blood God made all men,
has had another exempli6cation in an
occurrence which took p ace in Catawba
County, N. c., last week. The wife OF
Lee Sigmon, prominent farmer OF
Clark's Greek section of Catawba County
came to Newton for the purpose
a lot of notes discounted at the bank for
her husband, taking with her, unknown
to any one, all the none y IN the house
about 1925. Arriving at Newton she
went to the bank and received $75
Noah Robinson, a Colored man lived in
Sigmon's neighborhood and was we'll tc
do. He also came to Newton the same
day and lnortgaged his horse, raising
$50. Then he and Mrs. Sigmon
lett together on the first train
MIR. Sigmon has traced them to
Georgia, pursuing them. Mrs. Sig.
mon was an attractive young woman,
well educated and of good family. Her
husband is prosperous farmer and be.
longs to one ofthe best families in that
county. Mrs. Sigmon is the mother Of
four small children, whom she deserted
and her paramour left wife and seven
children.
