Educating the Negro.

-
Dc. Thomas Nelson Page contributes
an article to the New 3 York Journal on
the negro question, and says that the
efforts which the Southern whites have
made to educate the negro have been
Disappointing IN their results, SO lar
as inaproviong the nergo goes
szses And yet, he proceeds. the only
lamp by which We can guide our way
safely is the light Of experience.
Enlightenment and religion are the
two great powers that have raised
races and peoples. Since the dawn of
history, education and Christianity
have raised the Western nations,
among them the Anglo-Saxon race:
With all the faults men show in
practice, these two contain the vital
principles. They are founded on these
precepts on which alone nations rise
and civilization dyances-kno owledge,
morality and duty
s Whatever disappointment there
may be, this much at least may be laid
down There are only two ways to
solve the negro problem in the South
One is to remove him; the other is
TO educate and elevate him. The form
ser is ont of the question. The only
method, then, is to improve him.
There IS no argument against that
proposition If educating improves

black man also. Richmond Times.

ries with it the weight Of profounc
conviction. Representing, as it does,
the keenest business sense, 1T IS
powerful argument in favor of a con
tinuance of robust activity.
1t would seem from the present
temper Of the trade that nothing
less than an earthquake could shake II
from its aggressive and pers1stenl
climbing tendencies
The Iron Age is the standard au-
thority Of the trade and is conserva-
tive nblication, as it showed during
the 1899 boom. Yet this is what IT
says in It's current issue
Nothing has occurred to indicate
any danger Of an early subsidence OF
the great activity which characterizes
the iron and steel trades. Not only
are more iron and steel now being
made and consumed in the United
States than at any previous time IN
the history OF this or any other coun-
try, but members of the trade are
beginning to prophesy a still larger
business the coming year. :Ehe tull
capacit Of the blast furnaces and
steel works completed and In process
of erection seems to be imperatlVely
aseded to meet the reqnir irements OF the
.country.for the greater part ofthe first
sixmonths of 1902. This is as far as
Ordinary human foresight can carry
prognostications as. to business It's
seldom that indi dications for an sap-
nroachine year point so strongly to
heavy trade as at the present time.
Many branches of business report an
unusual number Of inquiries now com
ing no relative to material for pro-
iected improvments. lt might be as
isumed, IN view of the occurrences OF
the past two years, that the expansion
in the American iron trade had reach
ed its culmination, but so far no evi-
dence can be seen pointing to such 9
conclusion.
These statements concerning a conf
modify known as the barometer Of
trade are shared in by practically all
the trade and financial press. OF
course there may be over production
before long, but that is not yet appa-
rent. It is afact that upon the collapse
of the boom = in 1884 the iron mar
ket was strong for year later, but
conditions then were different from
now. They, are vastly better today
and give hope that the industrial de-
preston predicted by Wall street will
not come next year, and, prehaps, not
for several years C;ourier-Journal.
