Manufacturers as Importers

A recent statement issued by the

the manufacturers OF the United States
are the most active among our import
ers Mt the present time This is found
in the details OF the commerce OF Feb
ruary just presented by the bureau,
which reveals the fact that manufao-
turers materials amounted to almost
one-half of the total lmportations, II
we include under this term the impor-
tat!ons classified by the bureau as
articles wholly or partially manufae-
tured for use In the manufactures and
mechanic arts"
The total Importations in the month
of February were f6S,774,l5O. or this
amount. $685. col, or S7.7l per cent was

The whole country is interested in the
prosperity of the colored people, and the
members of that race themselves Will
be anxious to know what progress II
has made since the taking of the last
census, and the Importance of the sta
tlstics to be gathered by the present
census as to the ownership or tenancy
OF homes VIII be patent to all concerned
In the matter.
Reports received from recent confer
ences and conventions in the south In
dictate encouraging progress of the race
In industrial knowledge and in the
number engaged in professional pur-
suits. Such reported gains can best b.
proved beyond dispute by census facts
bearing on the ownership of homes
among the colored people. These sta
tistics will be made up entirely from
the replies to the questions OF the cen
sus enumerators. No matter what the
dwelling is. whether humble cabin OF
fine residence, II it is the abiding
place of a family Its ownership will be
taken and recorded by the census.
Whether the occupant is in debt for
his house or his land or has bought on
contract, he is an owner. Every
householder is either an owner" or a
tenant"
1t is believed that one of the most
gratifying facts to be developed by the
census viii be the greatly increased
number Of the colored race who have
succeeded in becoming owners of their
homes.
