A Black Drop.

Boston Transcript: The Indians of
New England ceased to be Indians the
moment that they had a drop of Negro
blood in their vains and became practi-
cally as much Negroes as IF they we're
natives of Africa. Newport and Provi-
dence and other Rhode Island towns
are full of "Colored people," who show
the strong lineaments of the Narragan-
sett and Wampanoag tribes in their
faces. But no one ever thinks of them
for moment as anything but Negroes.
AS all the world knows, it is precisely so
with the Aryans who have the same
"taint." Who can explain this strange
f'ct that the Ang!o-Sa xon race will for
give Indian blood, Kanaka blood, even
Chinese, but never a drop of African
blood? Here are almost thirty years
gone by since emancipation, and this
thing is the same as ever. Is there
some efficacy in the "'curse of Ham,
idea after all, though whole generation
has grown up since people thought it re-
pudiated forever?

the man who hesitates is lost, and
it frequently happens that the one

take. However, there are some

wise to wait. When you are in
doubt do nothing, but when you
see an opportunity to make prof
liable purchase, go ahead. We
can make it as much of an object
for you to visit us as it is for US

as cheaply as similar articles can be
bought in any part of the world, and
some of these articles are sold for less
than the tariff would be if imported. To
ask these men to believe that the tariff
is a tax on consumers in this country is
to credit them with less business sense
than should be looked for among the IN
mates of founding hospital. The voter
who will not post himself with facts so
readily accessible may find it profitable
to LOOK about him for proofs of his right
to voice in shaping the business policy
of the country, for we'll grounded sus
picion of his competency is likely to be

Mary Claire, Salt Lake.-The proper

also camphor Or amonia upon the fore

w. H. P, Louisville writes: What is
the difference between high and low
church, broad church and ritualism?
Answer. High churchman and ritual
lists say that they believe in the "real
presence" in the apostolic episcopate
and sacramental grace, in baptismal re-
generation, private confession and abso-
luton, in fact, they believe in all the
doctrines of the Church of Rome except
the Pope. They consider all persons
who don't az ee with them and belong
to ''the church," by which they mean
the Episc opal or Roman Catholic Church
as heretics or, at all event, schismatics.
They place great stress on the way the
service is conducted, the manner of wor.
ship, rather than the worship itself, is
the principal thing with them. Broad
churchman admit that persons who
don't belong to the Episcopal Church
are susceptible of salvation. They con-
slider the essentirl unity of belief in
Christ as more important than formal
unity. Low churchmen are about the
same as broad churchmen. They admit
that there may be church without a
Bishop. -[.

SATURDAY, AUGUSTS 8, 1891.

WORKING FOR FREE FOREIGN TRADE.
Experience has demonstrated the fu-
tility of attempts to satisfy the self-styled
tariff reformers by any concession short
of absolute free foreign trade and it's
necessary adjunct of increased taxation
on the property and business of the
country. Proof of this may be found in
the history of every revenue measure
enacted since that Of Washington and
Madison in 1889.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Nc
Kinley law placed more. articles and
greater values on the free list than any
egislat;on since the Walker tariff of
1916, the existing law is more violently
assaulted than any of its predecessors,
and the old charge of discrimination in
behalf of capital and against the interests
of the masses is repeated with as great
JUNCTION as if its falslty had not been ver-
flied by UNMARRIED experience during a
quarter of a century.
The tariff of 1883 placed the full line of
spices, long list Of chemicals and other
articles on the free list, while it consid-
erab]y reduced the duty on woods and
woolens, iron, steel, lumber and their
varied manufactures. But all this to no
avail so far as giving comfort to the al
ways uncomfortable free trade attorney,
who went on quoting the ad va]orem
equivalents of falling prices to mislead
unthinking voters into belief that no
considerable reduction had been effected
The same is true of his present attitude
toward the Mckinley tariff, in which
even greater concessions have been
made. No credit is given for taking
S50,000,000 per year off of sugar, IS per
ton from the tariff on steel rails, and for
reductions on many other articles in
equal ratio, These seem unworthy of
notice, while the fewer instances in
which increase was made are forced into
service to assist in discrediting the entire
law. and demanding it's early repeal in
the interest of foreign manufactures,
who would prove to be the only ultimate
bene6ciaries.
The lack of candcr in their discussion
of the tariff law is made conspicuous by
the appeals of free trade attorneys to the
credulity of their hearers. Along with
the hourly dlscredited charges that the
amount of tariff is ultimately paid by
consumers, goes other equally untenable
theories and assertions that every bust
ness man in the county knows to be
false. Nearly every merchant in this
country is selling tariff protected goods

"Iola' of the Memphis Free Speech
was at the recent Afro American League
Convention at Knoxville, Tenn. This
acknowledgement pusher makes some very
timely and pertinent remarks in the
Free Speech concerning what was done,
or, rather, what was not done at the con-
vention. The political feature which
was to be kept out of the League was in
serted at the late convention and now
the sponge may be thrown up. The
League was organized for the Afro
Am erican to do something for himself

ment and the objects and aims for which

Few people know that there is a wo-
man blacksmith in Washington. Her
shop is on xth street. just above Penn
sylvania avenue, and she does an enor-
nous business. OF course. she doesn't
shoe horses herself, but she sits behind
a desk in the shopand collects the mon
ey for the work her three blacksmiths
do. Her husband died few months
ago, and the widow has been carrying
on the business ever since. She has
come to understand every branch of it
thoroughly, and, the location of the
shop being an excellent one, she is max
ing money rapidly.
