partment of the A. M. E. Church. He
| is young and has executive ability Of
the highest order.
The Negro republic of Haiti is hav-
ing its family troubles very much in
the order of the Caucasian republic Of
the United States-only the neighbors
rubber" more into Haitian domestic
( affairs than they do in ours.
Those who discourage antagonism
between the advocates of the various
systems of education, do the race
service. We need all kinds, but good
judgment should be exercised in Sc
lecting the branches most useful to the
individual.
The Colored Americans strong
stand against the cOncubinous of white
men and grease-respectable Negro
women is bringing us many warm let
ters of approval. The practice is ruin
Gus to our races moral health and
should be broken up.
The blacks in South Africa will
cheerfully accept British control If
they are let alone by the class of
tracherous Beers who are slyly excit-
ing their prejudices to make trouble
for England to whose victory they
(the Boers) very sullenly submit.
Aptly says Andrew Carnegie: TO
save part of his income is the act
of a civilized person; to spend it all
is the act of a savage" Right. When
the Negro can be taught to accummu-
late property by rigid self-denial, he
gives hostages to fortune. Mr.. Carne-
gle speaks with authority.
The white advocate of separation
lands blow upon our solar plexus
when he listens to our complaints, and
rejoins that no community of 10000
people of any race save the Negro
would be without really f1rst-class
hotel, theater, barber shop, dairy
luncheon, department store.
Politics is a matter of business. Par
| ties nowadays are but the axes upon
which economic issues swing. A cam
paign is but the test of a business
proposition before the people. You
are the jury-colored people, as we'll
as white-and are expected to return
verdict stripped Of prejudice or su
perstition.
Funeral reform is crying necessity.
| The practice of using all of the pro-
ceeds of death beneft-perhaps 5000
to put away a corpse is unwise ex-
| travagance for a poor family The
care of the widow and the education OF
the children are prevailing consider
ations. Respect for the deceased is
not we'll expressed in the hunger of
orphans.
Rev. w. H. Davenport wants Africa
set off as an episcopal district, says
the Star of Zion, adding: Gas we
| (the Zion connection) are entirely too
weak over there yet for this, would it
not be good idea for the next General
Conference to authorize the bishops
to visit it in rotation? This might
create a greater interest in that field
and cause more money to be raised
for it," That would be wise expert
ment.
The Negro Baptists are divided
among themselves. Not only have
they two general bodies, known as the
National Baptist Convention and the
Lott Carey Convention, which antagon-
ize each other, and do it often in no
very sweet spirit, but in several of the
States there are no local divisions, re-
sulting in rival Boards, schools, etc.
The brethren should get together and
both factions stand solidly for Negro
management for Negro institutions

Safeguard those who are to be the
mothers of the next generation of our

The progressive white dailies are

Bankrupt churches should not be

Assuming that Roosevelt will be re-

ArtIfciality in social matters will

The Negro is at a discount in poll
tics. The masses must work out their
salvation in business, in the trades and
on the farm.
The United States must keep faith
with Cuba. Reciprocity is a debt of
honor that We owe our dependent
s,epdaughter.
The public washings of political de-
nOminational or domestic dirty linen
seldom rebounds to the advantage Of
any persons concerned.
A white mans Republican party in
the South means a divided Negro
vote in the North. Choose your part
ners for the next campaign.
The esteemed "best citizens" of
Lynchburg, Va, are experiencing that
horrible next morning feeling" and
are making the usual resolutions.
The wise man keeps his troubles to

ness. politics, physical ailments or do
nestle infelicity. Cultivate optimism.

COlOred people cannot stop at Black

know where the meanest of white peo-
pie live.
If people can be taught to work. to
live in decent fashion and to deserve
an hOnOred place in the community,
his religion and politics will take care
Of themselves.
Those Republicans who believe that
the sacrifice of their Negro allies,
Will result in carrying a single South
ern State for Roosevelt in 1904, will
please stand up and be counted.
AS Bruce Grit sensibly remarks. this
Is a continuation of the Mckinley ad-
ministratinn, but before 1904, we opine
mat 1t will bear positive shade of
Rooseveltlsm before many moons.
Negro suffrage is a failure only
When the race permits itself to be
used by demagOgues to lift themselves
into some Office they crave, regardless
or the good Of the state or country.

The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1902-10-07

mere matter Of party politics the u =
would stand neither on one side or the
clher SO tar rs editorial utterances are
concerned But 1t has gotten to be q
great economical question which all the
political parties are confronted with ana
the great mass Of the people who carry
the burden of making the combines ricn
are also interested in the solution OF the
question. How far a government can
control men in the investment of their
money IS question that puzzles the
Wlsest of political economists. SO long
as men choose to combine their means for
greater ana more economical production
we cannot see how they are to DE rrc-
vented. But when they use the power
which accumulated capital gives them
to crush out all smaller enterprises in
the same line through special terms with
/ transportation companies ard compelling
dealers to sell their goods only they be-
come an obstruction to industry and .
menace to progress, and should be curb
! cd. This sort of competition that kills
! competition is a matter for Legislative
action, and while the combinatio OF
capital cannot be prevented. the mpro-
/ per use of the power OF combined neans
/ should and can be prevented. It is by nc
means matter of partisan politics. but g
question that lies at the very root OF
National prosperity, and on no class o
the community does the burden fall more
heavily than on the farmer who feeds
the nation. Here and there one of these
combines make its own competition by
7 cndcavorlng to crush other combines, a:
| in the ease Of the American Tobacco
Company, which, after putting the TO-
hacco in this country under its thumb anC
-;
The growers, tried to control the English
Elakct. There they struck another com
bino, the Imperial Company of England
and now they arc being shown that tht
Inpcrial Company can carry the war u
their own doors and come over here. Tn
competition Of the TWO has had the usua
result OF competition. The farmers ar
getting better prices for theil & .acco
and tho culture of the weed is m or
profitable than when the American Com
pany had ii all their own way. This on
example shows how important to the far
lner is unrestricted competition for h:
products Now if the recent decisions i
regard to the unlawfulness OF corners
in the products of the farm stand. ther
would seem to be some prospect tha
Il the law of supply and demand may hav
d chance to operate. Tb" whole matte
would sem simple II me proper Jaw
werc made and enforced. Make it a
criminal offensc to use accumulated capt
tai fer the crushing out of oppositio
through special favors from transporta
tion companies or the squeezing OF deal
, erS. Then when it is found that the con
: hincs arc using the tariff for the purroS
of selling to foreign countries NOR
eheaply than they sell in this countr,
take the tariff off their products, sine
: il is Of no value to tho government b'
cnly goes into the pockets of the con
hincE.
