OPPOSITE THEATRE.

ON Monday, November 2nd,
1896, one of the Democratic candi.
dates gave the sum of ten dollars
to the following well known gentle
men: Bob Thompson, James
Thompson, and the Hon. John
Burns, with the understanding that
they would e1pend the same towards
helping to further said gentlemen's
election; but we have been in.
formed that the three gentlemen
referred to worked and shouted for
the success of the entire G. o.
Lilly White ticket. But on the
other hand We worked without re-
ceiving any pay, and did all that an
honest man could do for the sue
cess of the entire Democratic
ticket, and yet, the gentleman who
gave the ten dollars to the big
three, and who occupies a good
paying position at the present time,
will not become a subscriber to the

BOOKER 7. WASHINGTON
AND HIS WORK.

Nor long since, cur esteemed
friend, Booker 7. Washington, ad-
dressed the Twentieth Century
club of Boston. The subject of
hin remarks was the education and
elevation of our race, especially in
the South, where they form a large
proportion of the population.
Il Is very evident that Mr..
Washington Is . true and earnest
educator, and that his worth and
energy Is and VIII be felt not only
In the South, where his work is
mostly done, but viii extend itself
throughout the United States. His
whole heart and soul is in the work
of lifting, BY means of education,
1000, 900 of our race to a high
plane of usefulness and honor.
That he fully understands the
object of education, is shown
where he says: ait seems to me
there never was Q time in the his
tory of our country when those in
terested in education should more
earnestly consider to what extent
the mere acquiring of the ability
to read and write, or q knowledge
of : literature and science, mskes
men producers, lovers of labor. in
dependent, honest, unselfsh, and,
above all, supremely good. Call
education by what name you please,
and if it fails to bring about these
results among the masses, it falls
short of its highest end"
Who could read his words and
not concur fully With what he
says? Education, according to his |
ideal must, If it is to accomplish
its highest end, make every man q |
producer, a lover of labor, indie |
pendent, honest, unselfsh and su-
premely good.
Such are the ideas of Mr..
Washington; and with the earnest
ness with which he is putting them
into operation, who can foresee or
calculate the great good that he
viii do among our race and fell
low-countrymen.
Every citizen of the United
States, whether he belongs to our
race or not, should feel Q keen in
terest IN the education of the col
ored people. 1t is impossible to
have. full or complete liberty |
among q people who are unedu-
Gated. The emancipation procla-
nation by President Lincoln, struck
from our race the artificial or ex-
ternal bonds of slavery; but there
was still left another bond which |
bound Us with . tighter grasp. |
We were uneducated IN nearly all
that the term implies. This band
il beingloosened Is the years roll by. |
and IN the pages of future history, |
no name will shine with greater
splendor IN this work of emancipa-
ton, than that of Booker T.
Washington. Let the good work
90 on, and we bid Mr.. Washington
God speed IN his mission of love.

Wool and silver-W Which, or Both,

There exists what is no more than
an imaginary difference among the
industrial people of the west in the
interests of the production of wool
and silver. Many of the free silver
advocates believe that the wool
growers are antagonistic to the free
coinage of silver and in turn many
wool growers believe the free silver
advocates are opposed to protective
tariff on wool We do not believe
that either entertains correct esti
mate of the other, and if the matter
could be talked over in business
like way all would agree, since the
interest of one is the interest of all,
and proper understanding of this
fact would reconcile all into perfect
harmony.
Let us for a minute look into the
principal features Of the question as

far as it effects us.
Wool and silver are the main, and
therefore essential, productions of this
arid section of country, and since we
are greatly isolated from the markets
of the world and without manufac-
turing facilities and under the abso-
lutte necessity of importing almost
everything we need at exorbitant
rates of transportation, it is very
important that all should agree in
everything pertaining to our mutual
welfare.
The difference of sentiment alluded
to grows out of the present attitude
of the political parties of the nation
on the question of silver coinage
All, or nearly so, of those who I'M
derstand the appalling financial CON
dition of the country are espousing
the free coinage cause irrespective of
party affiliations. These silver adj
vocates, absorbed in the effort of de-
feating plutocracy in demonstrating
silver, lose sight of tariff regulations
for the present. On the other hand
the gold standard and national bank
supporters, so far as the republican
party is concerned, make speciality
of tariff. Let us together and with
out prejudice examine our position
and welfare in the success of either
administrative policy. We start with
the undeniable assumption that what
ever effects one class of producers
here effects every other class; l. e. ,
since the decline in horse value and
the loss of silver, the expectation OF
mutton and wool has been the mum

While the gold bugs are bowling
about free coinage being thing cal
cuIated TO double the value of the
products of the silver mines, let
them stop and figure; In 1895 the
product of silver in the United States
was AZ, 00O,0 900 ounces. The mar
ket value was 1913, 600, 600. If the
price had been doubled they would
have received 500, 600, 600. Every
farmer in the United States last year
lost at least 500 in the value of his
products on account of silver demon
citation. There are 5000, 900 in
the country. Therefore they lost
$500, 900, 900 The gold men want
