Ig is a fact that no Southern state has done SO much tor tle education of the negro as Arkansas. This can be veyeiied by statistics. In all the cities and in most of the towns in the negso belt the eolored schools are open the same length of time as the white schools. The best colored teachers available are employed at wages cor responding to that paid the same grade of teachers in the white schools It is true that there is q considerable num- her of eolored children that do not hare the advantage of any schooling, but the much remains to be done to perfect our system Of education. But while this is true the state is annually paying more money for the education of the tolored race than any of the old Southern ssates-- AikaNsaS Democrat,

TIE protectionist newspapers are making considerable cackle over the prosperity of the cotton mills at Fall River. The prosperity is due to two things-the cheapest abor in the world , and llntaxed raw materials. The cost of making yard of cloth at Fall River is less than iii any of the cotton spin ming centers 1T pthei countries. If the Fall River cotton should be taxed as the kensington wool is taxed we should hear nothing about profits and dVi- dends. Philadelphia Record.

IRON and steel in Europe have. dur ing the past few months, made Il large advance i'll price. and every iron and steel establishmen; in Europe is now full of orders and making much larger profits than one year ago. A e con sequence of this rise in the foSeign price of the metals, the American man ufacturers have been able to advance their prices Sl d ton. Mir. Andrew Carnegie turns out 2,000 tons of steel a day from one of his great works alone This means S. 900 day greater profit from that establishment than Mr. Car negie was receiving one year ago. Mir. Carnegie was selling his steel at u prize far above the foreign article before the recent advance took placa, on account of the high tariff on his product. Even had the price fallen in Emop instead of rising, he could still have made a great deal of money. But the price of all the products of American farms is actually lower in the farmer hands than it is in EngaId oy Fsance. The American farmer is no better of than the English or French peasant to-day, but Carnegie and his protected asso- ciates are vastly better of than the foreign manufacturers. and the strange thing about it is that it is the Ameri- can farmers who insist by their votes on enriching Mir. Carnegie, while they themselves are kept poor.-National Democrat
