NEW YORK. April 1.-THE Stock Mar
l1et opened active and with a highly nerv-
Gus tone. Declines, many of which were
extensive, p-edominated, but on the other
hand number of stocks rose rapidly in
the face Of the tendency of the remainder
OF the list. This was notably true of Mis-
souri,. Kansas and Texas, common and

there was a further material decline in

The tone Of the market underwent sew
eral changes during today's session.
The opening was fairly strong, despite
weakness in one or two issues. Later a
general reaction set IN, which held until
after Il o clock Then the bulls became
aggressive again and before noon had ad-
yanced prices all over the list from a
fraction to two or three points. The buy
ing was good and the market had the ap-
pearance Of great strength It was thought
IN some conservative quarters that the ad-
vance might last throughout the session.
Notwithstanding this aggressiveness on
the part Of the bulls it Is apparent that
the market Is being held Up at its present
level and that a decline might be oreciDi-
tated without much trouble The advice
given by careful people. therefore, is for
Inc most part 10 sell long stocks on the
bulges- 1t may be seen, however, that
going short IS dangerous.

WRIGHT MAKES A PLEA
WANTS GOVERNMENT TO AID
HIS RACE.
tspeeial correspohdence.l


washington, April u.-Had Markham
met Richard r. Wright before he wrote
his celebrated poem, "The Man With
the Hoe" he might have altered his
views concerning that much discussed
parsonage. Wright is negro, a self
made man, president of the Georgia
State College for Negroes and a firm
believer in the hoe, for his people. at
least. He sang the praises of that hum
BILE, but useful agricultural implement,
and OF the man who enthusiastically
and vigorously. to say nothing of seien-
tifiealiy. yields it, to the industrial
commission in this city, recently And
it seems when he had finished that,
while in the opinion of many, the White
man limited TO the use of the hoe, is
sodden, troGdenl creature TO be pitied, the
negro who can secure the privilege of
utilizing that instrument on his own
patch of ground is one greatly TO be
envied b. his brothers, for in hoeinS
the fields oS the sunny south the negro,
according to The Georgian, is not only
securing valuable products from fruit
ful soil and thus 6ettering his financial
condition, but he il literally hoeing. the
foundation on whieh the future of his
race in America must rest.
Politics has little Significance TO the
negroes OF the -sOut hern country. he
said. 1t is a subject they care little for
and are content to permit others to
ment through educational qualifications
Wright regarded as beneficial to the
race It's tendency is, first to create a;
desire for education; second to inspire
wish for political ikno Wedge, not nee
eSsarily political prefeFment. Denied
the use OF .tlse ballot until they were
able TO read and write, &hey would in

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1901-04-15

Wright earnestly upheld the claims
of the younger generation of negroes
in the south to recognition. 1t is the
young men who are fitting themselves
TO be mechanics and farmers and who
display a desire to intelligently apply
themselves. THE free negro is twice
az productive as the slave, and contrary
to the popular belief, the. old slave ne
gro laborer has proven "A fiat failure
in freedom. This is largely due TO the
fact that the slaves came into freedom
without fixed habits of labor
The only industry which has
diminished since the war is the cultiVa-
ton OF rice, where the production in.
South Carolina and Georgia has de-
creased from 176,O00,000 to 26,50O,eO0
pounds. This industry can, and should,
be revived.
The salvation of the negro in Cfeor-
gia and the future of the state itself
depend on teaching the negro to use
his hands. AT present there is little
or no effort made to improve the col-
ored farmer. The credit system and
general extOrtion are assigned as
among the chief causes for a lack of
improvement in the efficiency and bet
tered conditions of negro farm labor.
The work of lynchers ana whitecap-
pers is another prime cause for the
abandonment of farm life for. some.
Their inability to make a living on
the farm is another. 1T must be adj
mitted, however,, witness said that
these are not the only causes; general
laziness and shiftlessness may be sue
cessfully charged against large per-
centage of those who leave the farm
and flock TO the city"
He held that the producing power of
negro labor could not be surpassed, if
given the same chance as foreign la
Dor In his institute the negroes are
taught carpentering. blacksmithing,
shoemaking, painting, tailoring, sew
ing and agriculture.
