MIR. BRYAN CAN SETTLE IT.

AS we pointed out yesterday. Hon. Carl
Schurz has undertaken the task OF showing
his German feilow-citizens that they ousht
to vote for Mr.. Bryan in the coming Presi-
Dental election. In the pursuit OF MS
undertaking ne has addressed an open
letter to Mr.. Gage, the Secretary OF the
Treasury, criucising Cages pubilsneo
statement that Mr. Bryan could, II elected.
by the exercise of considerable '.perVerse
ingenuity nut the Government upon
silver basis, ruin its credit and bring IN
calculable disaster upon the business III
terests of the country. The substance OF
Mr. Schurz's argument was that even IL
Rryan were elected, II wcald be from NO.
5rembar TO March before he could take
his seat and in that time the present
Congress, Republican in both brancaes'
would hold a session in which 1t conld
add all such Legislation to existing Leg
islaiion that is necessary for making It
-imnossible for Mr.. Bryan to hurt the gold
standard or the business interests of the
country.
Mr.. Gage has replied to this with an
equally open letter and he has replied
to it most effectively. He makes the OBJ
vious suggestion that the coming session
of the Republican Congress will expire by
operation of law March 4. 1901, and in that
connection he makes the following re-
marks:
1t is a familiar fact, and one altogether
too much in evidence, that an adninistra-t
tive officer. filed with hatred and con-
tempt of a particular law can, by perverses
ingenuity. practically nu.lify its opera
tons. You point out in your letter that
,f the course Indicated by me in the inter
view referred to should be contemplated
hy Mr.. Bryan. the Republican Congress
which meets in December next, could in
advance restrain him by new and more
effective mandatory provisions The pro-
positinn that in case of Mr.. BrSan's cleo.
ton the present Congress can tie his hands.
50 that he cannot give effect toahis ex-,
pressed intention appears to me to be
fal,acious. 1t would require new legislation

rejected by the people through their last
expression al the polls, Further than this,

THE N11Gl;o AS a Ia 1sNER.

The North Texas Colored Fair and Cot.
ton Exposition is now being held in Dallas.
the object of which is TO excite in the ne.
gro greater interest in the work Of pro-
ducing and manufacturing cotton. Whether
or not colored people can successfully
manufacture cotton is problem that has
not been solved but that they can sue
fact that has been abundantly demon
strated. Agriculture is the most inviting
field of employment TO the black man. II
he owns farm and tls the soil indus
support, and the color of his skin will not
be prejudicial TO his advancement. Mother
Earth is no respec;er of persons, and she
viii yield her increase to the man VINO
tolls earnestly and intelligently without dis
elimination against any because of race,
color or previous condition of servitude. In
the field of agriculture the black does not
come into competition with the white man,
as in other departments of industry, and
there is never clash Of interests between
white farmers and black farmers.
Many colored men have taken to farm
ins, and in Virginia some Of the best and
most successful farmers are men of that
race Colore.. farmers come to Richmond
daily, in season, bringing vegetables, but
ter, eggs. fowls and fruits, and no white
resident eve. thinks Of turning such a
farmer away because he is black. When
ever they conduct themselves properly
they enjoy the respect and good will OF
their neighbors, and so far as these are
concerned the race problem has been
solved.
Some time ago we had an Interesting con-
yersation on this subject with a prominent
citizen of Louisa county. He was a slave
owner in days past; he has always been
staunch Democrat, and he is now one Of
the largest landowners in the county He
said that there We're many colored men in
his county VINO owned farms, were indus
trious and respectable, and, altogether,
good citizens And I for one he went on,
IAN opposed to depriving these men Of the
right to vote. They have property inter-
ests, they pay taxes and they ought TO
have a voice in government. l cannot
think it right to disfranchise these respec-
table farmers simply because they are
black, and give the ballot to worthless
tramp, simply because he is white.
Our friend from Louisa is by no means
alone in the opinion that he holds. The
black man who accumulates property and
conducts himself as good citizen is en-
titled to vote, and all fair-nlinded white
men think so. The coiored farmers OF
Louisa have made an impression, and col
cred men all over the South viii be wise to
initiate their example. The country negro
is a farmer by heredity, if not by nature
II is the one industry that he best under
stands, it is the industry that suits hln'
and it is industry that holds out TO him
the greatest inducements.
