It used to be the custom when the
market was overstocked, to reduce the
price of the product, but since the
days Of the trust, instead of reducing
the cost, they cease producing until
some of the stock already on hand is
disposed of. Coal used to be bought
at $5 a ton and there was evidently a
profit in it for it remained at that
figure for several years. Since the
big strike, however, the price per ton
lie $6. so and before the coal barons
will reduce it they will close the
mines.
OF course they claim that since the
strike the increase In wages paid to
the miners and other expenses makes
the cost of running the mines higher.
Here Is where the third party, the
common people. come in. They had
nothing to do with the strike, neither
did they receive any of the direct
benefits, rather they nearly froze to
death last winter, and now they must
pay the consequences, The strike was
intended to make the barons pay
more, thereby making them suffer,
but it werE right past them and COM

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Rev. A, P. Eaton, a colored preacher
OF Durham, spoke words of wisdom in
his Sunday sermon, when, as reported
BIZ the Durham Herald. he took the posi-
ton that the white race was doing moth
ing but protecting their women when
they demanded that those guilty of crimi-
nal assault must die and that at once.
He did not condemn lynching but rather
advised members of his race to remove
the cause and lynchings would soon be
unheard of. The minister made a strong
appeal to members of the colored race
present to shield, protect and raise the
women of the colored race. There has
never been any great race of people, he
said, whose women were not kept high
and no race can raise the standard of
womanhood without lettering the entire
race
Rev. Eatons admonitions to his race
are in line with wonderful sermon
preached years ago by the late Rev.
Joseph c. Price, the most remarkable man
of pure negro blood the South has pro-
duced. He urged upon his race the ele-
walton of the women of their race and
pointed out that in the history of world
the civilization and advancement of every
people could be clearly traced in the
estimate they placed upon woman More
and more are the colored preachers COM
ing to appreciate that truth and seeking
to impress it upon their congregations.
