Combinations Among Farmers.

LOUISVILLE COuTler-JOurnal.
The proposition TO form a combination
among the wheat growers so as to reduce
protection 20 per cent and never 10 sell
wheat for less than 81 a bushel is one
which naturally raises the inquiry wheth-
er or not II is practicable.
Combinations among farmers are very
difficult for several reasons that lie on the
surface and for others that are not so OBJ
vious at first glance. Their great number,
their wide dispersion the variety Of their
products, render effectual combinations, es-
pecially in this country Ct magnificent
distances and areas, extremely hard to
make effective. The owners OF the capital
employed in the production of a particular
article OF manufacture find It very ofton
practicable to form combinations that will
not almost Immediately go 10 pieces. Their
number may be comparatively small and
the whole product may not be great enough
10 make a monopoly impossible. 1t is OBJ
vious that such conditions can not be APP
piled TO the great staples OF agriculture

upon this sort of training that he must
rely for emancipation from conditions far
more dangerous to his prosperity than was
the institution of slavery itself.
llliteracy does not necessarily make
|idleness and proverty, nor is public
school education to be relied upon as the
sole safeguard against idleness and
poverty.
Prof. Collins admits that the expert
ment OF a little education to colored youth
has resulted unsatisfactory. Certainly
that admission Is well grounded. But
why is this so7 The explanation Is
simple. The negro has not received his
little education with reference to any
particular profession or TO any particular
sphere OF industry. The negro is not In
yentive. He Is hardly constructive. These
faculties he may possess in dormant de-
gree. but decades OF education and self
reliant labor must succeed each other be-
fore the sociologist will admit the possi-
bility OF their being aroused to appre-
ciabls activity. But the negro is imi-
tative. Through this remarkable faculty
the others may be in time developed. Then
it follows that the best education which
can be- given the negro is that which calls
for tho exercise OF his ability to initiate
his white neghbor in many Industries
from whence flow prosperity and content
ment.
The negro should be educated TO the
1,fo he
mon school curriculum, but while this
education is going on he should be taught
ths value OF sclf-reliance, the dignity OF
labor and filed with the consciousness
that he can rise TO other employments
than that OF "a newer OF wood and draw
err of water" Until he Is given Industrial
training and grounded in the principles of
good citizenship he must continue to suffer
evil, rather than desirable, effect from
an aimless education that plants discon-
tent rather than definite ambition in his
thoughts.
An education so impractical and pur-
poseless as to fit the individual for no
particular place in society simply dissatis-
fies him with his lot, drives him to the
populous centers. makes him an idler.
lands him In the police and magistrate
courts constant offender, eventually
opens to him the doors OF the State peni-
tertiary and makes him a charge upon the
State.
1t is industrial employment that the
negro wants and this he must have II he
is to rise, now or hereafter, TO the re-
/ quirements of a progressive citizenship.
He must enlarge his capacity for profitable
/ labor and become the owner of home
and the builder OF his own churches aud
school houses. When his teacher shall
touch his conscience with these facts and
his soul with these truths he will plant
his steps in the broad way of genuine
! progress, and not before. No race II
! history has risen in the scale of humanity
perforce Of any other fact, and the Negro
is certainly no exception
