LIGHT FOR THE NEGRO.
Rev. q. II. Mcdaniel Discusses
His Future Possibilities.

OC. raul Mlnn., Jan. 0lSt l9UZ.
Editor Professional World /;
While visiting Rev. w. d. Carter,
assisting him in special meeting,
a copy of your paper has fallen
into my hands. 1t impresses me
very favorably as a race paper,
and | thought | would send you
this contribution on the "Current
Discussions of the Race Problem. 1"
On the Both of Dec. Rev. Jas.
W. Lee, of st. Louis, Mo-, read a
very able and manly paper before
tho evangelical alliance, on "The
Needs of the Negro" | confess
my utter surprise at the manliness
and unselfishness of this paper.
1t is unlike what | have usually
heard or read from men of the
South and appreciate it especial
ly, because it is from a Southerner
and yet so free from sectional
bliss or race prejudices.
1t not only foreshadows better
days for the Negro, but indicates a
higher state of civilization and a
purer Christianity in the white
man.
We have long needed white men
who have the courage of their con-
victions. True, he may not have
been faultless in his views, but
very few indeed are they who
have discussed any phase of this
question so ably and so fairly.
DR.. Lee, although southern born
and reared, sets a worthy pace for
all who may discuss this subject
in any manner, time or place.
We were also delighted to see
the manly stand of Mr.. Aruold of
Fulton Mo-, in "The Journal, "
last week, Subject "The Negro
A Factor"
We value these utterances,
chiefly because they represent the
pulpit and the press-the most po-
tent factors in molding public
sentiment.
DR.. Lee, shows the man that he
is, when he pleads for industrial
opportunity for the Negro. He
says: "What the Negro needs to-
day more than any thing else is
fair treatment by the industrial
classes of the country" Again
he says: "Laboring men have a
perfect right to organize them
selves into brotherhoods and un-
ions for their protection, and for
their interests. There is not any
doubt but that they have lifted
themselves and their labor tn a
higher plain of efficiency and dign-
ity through organization. But it is
not right to exclude men from
unions and organizations on ac-
count of their color. The right of
the Negro to live is certainly in
inalienable, but how can he live
and support his family if he is not
given a fair opportunity, along
with other men, to work any
line of industry for which he quail
ifies himself. The Negro in enti-
tied to absolute industrial equali-
ty. 1t must be remembered that
he did not just arrive on the
shores of America yesterday, and
were he new conner, the right to
work any where would still be his.
But the Negro has been here 291
years.
He has cleared most of the for.
ests of the Southern states. He
produces the cotton from the sale
and manufactures of which has
come much of the wealth of this
country. He grew the cane iron
which the laboring men have beer
sweetening their coffee for two
hundred years. He made the sy
rup which has heen doubling and
ouadrupling the value of pancakes

Stocks DemOralized
By The Money Crisis,
Lenders Refuse to Extend Credit Period.
Securities Were Eagerly Unloaded
Without Regard to Prices.

New York, December 1.-the stock mar
ket had a demoralizpd appearance at times
today. when an eager unloading Of secuH
ties was in progress without regaid to
prices The volume Of dealings rose "a over
100000 shares, or about double those OF
yesterday, which acalu were more than
double those Of the day before.
The throwing upon the market OF this
greatly augmented volume Of liquidation
met with very poor absorption power ana
violent declines were the result.
