THE NEGRO SHOULD
LEARN FROM THE
ITALIAN.

II is lust possible that the American
negro can learn a little something
from the Italians now in this country
He is quick enough to emulate them
in many of their vices, but he would
do himself credit by discard1ng these
and substituting therefor certain OF
their virtues along commercial ana
some other lines. In New York City,
where there are said to be 2OO,OOO
Italians. they are not only prominent
in the higher business circles but op-
crate nearly all the bootblack stands.
The small Italian weekly paper there
has developed into a daily with cir
cuIation of 10000.
These people are on several lines
the Negro's principal competitors;
they take what he refuses and turn
il into gold, and they do what he can
barely make a living at and grow TO
be Well-to-do and highly respected citi-
zens. They are crowding the black
man out at several points. If they
were crowding him up IT would not
make any difference, but they are
''crowding him out" When the Italian
first reaches our shores everybody
despises him and not a few kick him
Nevertheless he goes right on; the
public patroniZe him in whatever line
of business he chooses1 to embark, and
his own people stick 10 him as well.
Even in the city of New Orleans,
where there are fewer than $4,000,
they run the corner groceries, the fruit

marks the last step in the effort Of The beef
packers to form trust.
Although none OF the important plants
and companies controlled by Swift, Armour
and Morris were included in the concern
chartered in New Jersey last week. 1t was
definitely stated in Wall street to-day that
these companies will be purchased later By

capital stock Of the National Packing Com
ipany will be increased from time to time as
the combination is enlarged until the aggre-
gate will exceed s5Co, 100000.
1t became known to-day that the beef
packers have at last reached an under
standing as to the methods to be adopted
In forming their combination and the valua-
ton at which their properties will be taken
into the new combination.
Difficulties which seemed insurmountable
a few months ago when the project was
abandoned have been smoothed away and
