NEW YORK, November 6.-CaPtain C.
E. Vawter, Of the Miller School of Abe
marie county Va. this afternoon dellv-
cred an address before the Sixth Con-
gress about boys, in session in this city,
upon THE Southern Boy, His Needs and
His Opportunities.
After a brief preface. which had a
strong Confederate ring, Captain Nawter
said:
There are three classes into which the
poor boys OF the South are naturally
divided. The negro boy. the white boy.
whose parents became poor by the war
and the white boy whose parents nave
heen poor for over 100 years. The great
need of each one of these three IS work
The great opportunity of them all#is the
fact that abundant work awaits every
one who will work
THE NEGRO BOY.
'"The great curse that has come to the
negro boy is the fact that slavery MADE
his race feel that work IS dishonorabie.
and that the object Of an education is to
remove him from work. alost unfortu-
nately those who undertook his education
immediatelv after freedom came to him,
failed at this point and with the highest
purposes. sought to lead him away from
work, and by false idea of social equality
sought TO make him even aspire TO be
a white man rather than a good. honest
negro AS his idea very justly obtained.
Of a white man was one that did not work.
he#very naturally and very honestly. in
spired by his new. consecrated, but mis-
guided teachers. madeait the prime idea.
of his own life to avoid all work as
something dishonorahle.
Moreover. the negro is not to blame
For coming out OF centuries of slavery
where he had ever longed for freedom
which to him meant freedom from toll.
he naturally felt that when he greeted
it, he greeted centuries of rest. How
ever. he is beginning to@think differently.
and, under the inspiration of great pa
tent ard consecrated teachers, such as
we have at Hampton. Petersburg, Tus-
kegee and elsewhere. he issnow rapidly
taking IN the great doctrine of ST Paul.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE.

AS indicated by earlier events. the closing
months Of the fiscal year are bringing less
favorable trade balances. Were this due to any
permanent loss of foreign customers. or de-
creased production by mills and factories there
would be cause for apprehension But there are
obvious explanations for the present situation,
and many reasons to believe that the check
is only temporary. while the outlook is excep-
tionaly bright for further material expansion in
shipments of manufactured products.
Agricultural conditions are remarkably favor
able, and instead of restricted crops there is
prospect of abundant harvests. with a consid-
cradle surplus for export. Drouth in Australia
has already flooded the Pacific Coast markets
with inquiries, and a large feet of vessels will
be loaded as rapidly as possible. Another
PLANTATION of recent losses in trade balances may
be found in the extensive increase of mporta-
tions amounting to S75.0O0.000 more than in
eleven months Of the preceding fiscal year Far
from being unfavorable symptom, however
this bears testimony to the prosperous condi-
tions which make a larger market for luxuries
Foreign material is also consumed more
freely in the various branches of manufacture
and the latest returns show heavy receipts of
pig iron, billets and bars which cannot be
produced with sufficient rapidity to meet the
requirements Of finishing mills. Coal is also
being imported account Of the strike but
this factor will not become important unless
the controversy is prolonged
AS to the movement of specie, the situation
is also exceptional. Exports and imports of
gold practically balanced In May, whereas in
normal preceding years there generally ap-
peared a net outgo of over $S00000O This is
partly due to the difference in rates for money
which has made it more profitable for bankers
to lend their balances in this market where
I.,-r
than in London Paris. This change in con-
ditons may bring a heavier outgo of gold later
in the season. or il may curtail imports in the
fall when the movement this way is generally
of some size. 1t must also be remembered
that foreigners have returned a considera BILE
quantity of our securities and American in
vestors have purchased British consols and
other European bonds. which would tend to
affect the outgo of specie by the altered in

PROFESSION AND PERFORMANCE.

It is interesting to observe that Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr. Hill are both devoted to tariff reform,
and in their speeches at the Tilden Club came
out strong in their denuncfation of the RepuD-
lcan party and its alleged inability TO deal with
tariff questions in the interest of the whole
people. Mr.. Cleveland congratulated the De
mocracy on its simple faith and simple hon
esty and Mr.. Hill told how united Democrats
were lin the principle that public taxation
should be imposed for public purposes only.
Did they think that other peoples memories
were as short as theirs? Why. on the very day
when they spoke the newspapers published
letter from Mr.. Cleveland to the late William
L. Wilson recalling the inability of Democracy
to deal honestly with the tariff In IL he told
how the apostasy and wickedneSs of his party
had shocked and surprised" him, and said: Il
shaye in the last hour found myself question
ling whether or not our party is a tariff REFORM
"nartv" That was in 1894. when the Democ-
racy came into power pledged to this simple
and honest revision of the tariff in the interest
of the whole people and without favor to trusts
and nonopolies That was when it framed
the tariff for the benefit of the Sugar Trust,
which Mr.. Cleveland denounced as measure
of party perfidy and party dishonor' and as
"alike violative of Democratic principles ana
Democratic good faith" He then asked. How
''can we face the people after indulging in such
Outrageous determinations and violations OF
"principle?'
This bill was so bad that Mr.. Hill, then
in the Senate would not vote for it. and Mr.
Cleveland who was President, would not sign
it. Nevertheless, the Democratic party put 1t
on the statute book, monument to 'pernd!
and "dishonor" If when in power the Democ-
racy could do no better than indulge IN such
Outrageous determinations" how can it face
the people now expecting anybody TO believe its
professions of ability to revise the tariff hon
ns+1v in onDostion to trusts and for tho benefit
of the whole people without discrimination?

terest payments. Either of these explanations
of the present unusual lack of gold exports
is gratifying. since it means a stronger posi-
ton for this country and greater industrial
activity. The smaller value of silver exports
is partly due to the decline of about seven cents
an ounce in price
The detailed statement for May showed loss
of SO, 3O2 323 in the value of merchandise
ported, as compared with the movement in the
same month last year which the best ex
hibit for any May on record Less than tenth
of this decrease occurred in manufactures as
agricultural products alone accounted for $40
20S Or of the loss. About a fourth of this was
due directly to the short corn crop, as quota
tions became practically prohibittVe while d
decrease of about S3 500, 900 in meats may also
be attributed to the same factor, since II was
the primary cause of high prices for live stock
and provisions A short crop and hlgh prices
also explain the loss of over S1,150,0OO in the
yaIue of oats sent abroad About one-fourth or
the loss occurred in wheat and -four which was
to be expected in view Of the unprecedented
movement early in the season. Despite the
material decrease of recent months. the total
quantity exported during eleven months OF the
cron wear exceeded the movement in the same
period Of any other previous year. and exports
TINS far in June make the total larger than
the previo,:s high record established IN 1872.
Somewhat similar conditions exist as TO cottoh'
The rise of s. a bale above the price year
ago curtaied exports heavily, making d loss III
