A Free Trade Lesson.

Claflin 81 CO.. of New York has just Is
sued it's regular dividend notice to stock
holders, and takes occasion to refer to the
good free trade tinsas promised by the
party now i'll power, as follows: For
the months Of July, August and Septem-
ler our sales were over 80 per cent less
than those of the corresponding months
Of 1892, and they are now improving

carrying a large stock of goods that
needs constant care and attention. can
not curtail its expenses IN a day, but
that will come later when the stock of
goods is smaller. The stockholders
have been prepared for this:
1T is not possible to reduce expenses
to considerable extent until December,
and it is therefore evident to us that
we cannot hope to do more than TO earn
dividends on our preferred stock for the
current half year"
Much of the common stock in this
company is held by the employees, who
thus anticipate an absence of dividends
and a possible loss of positions after
December. A surplus fund has en-
abled the declaration of present divi-
dend at per cent instead of at the
former rate Of 0 per cent, hut the out
look Is decidedly gloomy. 1t is rather

of Ohio against the carrying out of the
Democratic free trade plank of the Chi

was not voucbed for by some member o.
the committee, and that the public had
compounded the hundreds of applicants
who rushed to the court house but re
ceiyed nothing, with the comparatively
few who had been assisted. He observed,
very Justly, that as usual in such cases,
the ninesy- nine deserving men were
judged and misiudged for the one-hun-
dreth undeserving; that where forty

which were peculiarly pressing, was taken
to avoid mistakes Mr. Niche consoles
himself for any errors which may have
occurred in the reflection that ii was
better to have helped some who were un

THE GLOBE has frequently, referred
to the methods which have been en-
plOyed in the distribution Of the many
gratuitics which the Durham people
have offered
Yesterday evening DR.. John F. Gro
well wrote a very able article which was
published in The GLOBE on the subjec,
Of deserving and undeserving poor.
The different interviews which are pre-
sented below show conclusively that
what Durham needs as well as money for
relieving the deserving poor is some
proper means and methods for distribu-
ting it.
There has never been any use on earth
to be in hurry unless the fire bells were
ringing.
The evidence is that at least half of the
money has been uselessly and recklessly
squandered.
1t is time now, without waiting for AL
unprecedented winter to organize a
society Of charity.
And The GLOBE believes that this so
CIely should be composed of ladies of
Durham-thOse who will take time with
out pay and who believe in charity, to
0Sourse their own gratuities and the
G''ts Of those who contribute to the gen
eral fund.
