The Profits of Farming.

The opinion is often expressed that
farming is about the most Improbable
pursuit OF the modern man. The
growth of that idea is responsible for
much foolish discomfort and the un'
wise decisions of many thousands of
young men who annually abandon the
home farm to seek clerkships, trades
and other forms OF salaried employ
ment in towns and cities.
Yet tilling the soil is the first divine
office given to man. The farmer must
OF necessity feed all civilized mankind.
And the fact is that in this country
of ours. in spite of drOughts, floods,
blights and insect pests, we annually
raise food crops enough TO give every
human being in the land three square
meals a day by fair earning and then
have thousands of millions of bushels
of grains to ship abroad and fecu mil
lions beyond the seas.
II is idle TO say that farming does
not pay. All men are not liars and
fools and the farmers of America least
of all They continue TO farm and pay
for their land out of it's products, and
10 buy more land, and to buy stock
and-to educate their children above
their inheritance in schools that help
10 enforce the silly fiction that farm
ing is the poorest of trades,
But let us look at Kentucky-be'
cause we have not the official figures
for Georgia at hand-and see how the
farming problem pans out in that fair
ly typical southern agricultural state
A census bulletin issued on Monday
shows that the gross income of farms
in Kentucky in 1899. the year prece'-
ing the census, was over 21 per cent.
That figure is exclusive of animal pro
duCe-the $50. 900 race horses and SlOC
Jersey calvesi 1t relates solely to the
ordinary agricultural produce of the
farms of the state after deducting the
value of crops consumed on the farms
Can it be said with any show of rea
son that a business so original and in
dependent as farming and that brings
81 per cent on the total investment an
nually is a failure? Is it not better
than railway stocks and bonds at
per cent return? Or factory stocks al
6 10 s per cent dividends? Or trust
stocks at 10 per cent? Or Unit ID
States bonds at per cent?
We need only produce the figures
and they tell the story in terms that
cannot be contradicted. The wise
thrifty. economical farmer of America
even of Georgia-has the world by
the throat, and if 81 per cent income
per annum does not satisfy his ideas
of profit he can make the world pay
more,

The Negro,s Unearued Suffrage.

Mr.. Crumpacker, the Indiana cor
gressman who stands sponsor for IT,
movement to reduce southern repre-
sentation in congress because the ne
gro is not apparent in the republican
election returns from these states,
has written a magazine article TO vim
dicate his scheme. The article is
quite as luminous as his speeches in
the Congressional Record. Neither OF
them are even plausible.
The real nub of all that Mr.. Crum-
packer says is in his conclusion. He
says give the negro all that he earns
and give him nothing that he does not
earn" II he can only find time to
come down TO the south and instruct
us in a complete method for doing
that we will surely hail him as a ben
efactor to the white race in these re-
gions. Perhaps a million negroes OF
all working ages are today living in
the southern states by what they %
not earn. They are parasites upon
their own working classes and upon
the white people. If way could be
found to shut off the back-door leaks
of white mems kitchens in the south
for two weeks we are pretty sure that
some hundreds of thousands OF ne
groes would starve to death before
the end of the fortnight!
Mr.. Crumpacker would not find him.
self welcome in any assembly OF ne
groes in the south if he would preach
to them that they have no right to
live except by what they themselves
honestly earn. The truth is that the
liberality of southern tolerance with
the negro, giving him all he earns and
a large bonus of license to loaf and
live off his family or neighbors is the
prime cause of his general poverty
and shiftlessness.
But reverting to the suffrage ques-
ton. Mr.. Crumpacker does not offer
to prove that the negro rightfully got
the suffrage In the first place or that
he~ has earned" the right TO use it
since 1t was thrust upon him. not for
his good, but as a measure of penalty
u.Sn the southern white people. Ii is
impossible TO figure out where and
when the ignorant, corrupt, ballot
selling negro ever earned the right to
use that mighty weapon of an intelli-
gent freeman. 1t is because we do
not believe he earns 1T until he Is IN
telligent enough to use it with sense,
honesty and patriotism that we make
those qualifications necessary before
admitting him to the ballot boxes.
And Mr. Crumpacker fails utterly 10
show wherein that requisition Is
wrong and should be penalized.

i'm mora promptly than The Constitu-

him mora promptly than The Constitu-
ton.
1t is not the fact that The Constitu-
ton, in the interest of hero-worship
for Mr.. Bryan. has resented the in
tendments of the Cleveland deliver
ance and hurried to berate it's author.
Mr.. Bryan is his own keeper. He has
clearly stated that he is not looking
to another nomination to the presi-
dency. We do not believe that he Is,
or that the democrats of the country
are looking to him as a possible nomi-
nee In 1904. He is no more the logical
candidate for that event than Mr..
Cleveland would be. Both are practi-
cally adjourned by common consen-
sus from the list of eligibles.
What we. and what we believe a
vast majority of the democrats of the
country, object to is the endeavor to
force a confession that all democrats
who followed the party. and Mr.. Bryan
as it's candidate in 1896 and 1900 were
perverts from the party faith and prin-
ciples and that Mr.. Cleveland and
those who stood with him to aid and
abet the enemies of the party and de-
feat It possessed the only true patri-
otism. party gospel and honest record.
To thrust that ultimatum into the
faces and throats of the five and a
half million democrats who voted the
party tickets In 1896 and 1900 is not
n tender of harmony.
The democracy that does dervish
dances around the seat of Mr.. Cleve'
land, that insists that If he himself Is
impossible his counsel must neverthe-
less be law and gospel. that howls
when he is criticised for his self
praise and then unloads the epithets
of abusive vomit" upon the words of
Mr.. Bryan, is not the rightful and real
democracy of the country. That real
democracy Is composed OF the millions
who are ready to ignore the conflicts
and mistakes of the past. turn from
impotential leaders and seek new men
and new issues of instant promise to
| the interests of genuine democracy in
the state and nation. That democracy

A Thousand Millions!

The statement made by Congress

authorized by congress for the present
fiscal year shows that over one thou
sand millions of dollars are 10 be eX-

Livingston cogently says. we are at

IL calls for q per capita taxation OF
$3.50 for every man. woman and

fact that every family OF five persons
in the country AT large is thus called
upon for s6T50 10 replenish the pub

II is also TO be considered that these
taxes are but q small part OF the cost
imposed upon the citizen. Tbs direct
levies are but a small prop lrtion of
the extra prices that protective tariffs
enable importers and trusts to exact
from the consumers of the country.
Within the last six years the average
cost Of living in the United States
upon the per capita bass has incrcas-
ed almost 40 per cen. That means
that the articles of necessary con-
sumption by the family that cost Sl"O
in 1896 now cost $40. The average
of wages TO working people-tne
bread-winning classes who live by
weekly and monthly wagCs-has not

Remembering that the average an

s34450 to support tho family OF i've
persons for a year The national gov
ernment takes from the head Of every
family one days wage every week
from January to Dec .nber in direct
taxes.
The marvel of American politics is
TO sit down i'm front of such Unreliable
figures and calculate how long the
great mass of our feilow-citizens will
submit to the extravagancies and in
justices perpetrated by the republi-
can party. How much longer Will the
fetch of an unreasoned and unne"
essary protective tariff-the mother
of trusts and extortion-be potent to
pipe the people into the electoral pro-
cessions of the party of plutocracy
and public plunder?

An Anhoristic African.

A negro Mark Twain, or Sam Jones,
or Mister Dooley. or whatever other
parsonage will suggest a combination
of wit and wisdom, has come upon the
southern stage. His name is W. w.
Lucas. and he is the field secretary OF
the Negro Young Peoples Christian
and Educational Congress that Is 10
assemble in Atlanta III August. A lew
evenings ago he made an address 10
one of the largest negro congregations
i'm Mobile and some of the things he
said. and which his audience greatly
applauded. are worthy OF reproduction
and preservation.
Speaking of the kind OF Chrlstlah
training needed by the colored race
he said:
A great hindrance TO the progress OF tht
race is the two by four. big0ted, sTllisii
IGNORANT Baptist or Methodist preacher
lie is in every community, opposing every
measure of progress.
Right here he struck one OF the
worst enemies of the negro popula-
ton. A recent occurrence at Big Beth
el church in this city lends apt empha-
sis to his diagnosis. The negro
preacher who is forever likening his
race TO the Hebrew children living in
the brickyards of the southern white
Egvntians. and predicting bloody
plaques to come for their deliverance,
is the greatest obstructor OF negro
progress to right thinking and honest
living.
On the subject of negro sloyenli-
ness and the repugnance to the race
that bad personal habits create, he
spoke thus:
! have decided that the only way to get
rid of the Jim Crow" car is TO get llu
of the "Jim Crow negro.
II ! could use 100000 bars OF soap On
the unwashed negroes that traVel on
trains and hang around depots oN monlu ,ll.r

Lazy. ragged. barefeet fellows, long
ing for silver slippers and long Wnlte
robes and counting themselves worthy ;
neglecting TO provide home Tor their
families on earth and YET claiming a
house not made with their hands In God :
heaven!
And then he got right down to the
marrow Of one of the most prevalent
follies Of the negroes Of the south
when he denounced their proneness to
adjourn all their ambitions TO the hap
pv dav when the negroes will be ad-
mitted en- masse TO hog heaven ana
their white southern enemies be
shunted into the goat-pen and swal-
lowed up in Hades, On that point he
wlttily said:
The white man Is trying TO make this
earth blossom as a rose and the negro
is getting ready to die
The white man is organizing business
enterprises and the negro orsanizing so
cieties TO turn ont at their funerals Now,
I object to a hundred-dollar funeral Tor
a ffty-cent negro.
Surely this nan has had a revela-
tion of sound sense and has been en-
dowed with a mission. If he can trav-
el the south over and make converts
of his race 70 such a gospel he will do
more to solve the negro problem than
all the wise men in congress and all
the preachers and philanthropists
New England ever produced. He is
black John the Baptist. Give him
the right of way!

The Starting Point of Harmony.

Quite a number of both republican
and democratic journals have been eX-
ercised over the harmony problem in
the democratic party as presented by
the issues of the recent Tilden Club
dinner Such newspapers as the re-
publican Philadelphia Press, the inde-
pendent Washington Post and The
New Orleans Picayune and Macon
Telegraph seem to be one in opinion
that the criticisms passed upon Mr..
Cleveland's speech by such journals as
The Constitution. The Louisville Cou-
rier-Journal and The New Orleans
Times-Democrat put democratic har-
mony out of the near possibilities.
The truth in the case, however, is
plain enough to those with unpreju-
diced eyes and willing to look upon it.
The Constitution, at least. is privileg-
ed to speak for itself and is frank to
repeat what it previously said-that
the temper and spirit of the Cleveland
speech cannot become the basis of fu-
ture democratic harmony in purpose
and action. We regarded the speech
as a boast of self-preferred wisdom
and an unwarranted criticism of the
course of the party since it ceased to
follow Mr. Cleveland as its leader.
We did not perceive in any of his ut
terances either decent Difference 10
the party's decisions, even though
they failed of fruition. or any spirit of
hearty desire to let the past suffice for
the sins of either faction and leader
and to join in sincerity for an entire
ly new course and cooperation for the
future Had those elements of har-
mony appeared in what Mr.. Cleveland
said there is no democrat in America
who would have welcomed them from
