The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-05-28

The third generation, at furtiiest. is
 destined as like as not, to be number
 ed among the leading business men Sf
 the metropolis, and to live In marble
 palace on one of the city's finest ave-
 nues.
 Another secret of the Jews success
 Is that he is willing to work for less
 than others. He has made 1t possible
 for all kinds of, wearing apparel to be
 manufactured more cheaply in New
 York than anywhere else in the world.
 A child's summer dress, prettily made,
 Is today selling in New York Tor ten
 cents The Jew has made it possible
 for New York to manufacture clothing
 the cheapest in the world, but at what
 a cost to human well-being! Some or
 the poor souls in the tenements of the
 ghetto sew for more than twelve hours
 out of twenty-four, and yet only make
 a bare pittance. so small is the com
 pensation. Even on a Sunday, If one takes a walk through the ghetto, wo-
 men can be seen carrying to the shop
 their weeks work, piles of garments on their heads. as much as they can carry.
 Again, the Jewish merchant under sells the gentle merchant, and in the end secures the latter's customers. A surprisingly large part of the whole sale trade in New York Is now carried on in the ghetto. Candy factories have been established there which, through their underselling others, enjoy the patronage of the small gentile dealers throughout the city Provision depots ' are there which supply the delicates- sens all over town. The Jewish bak- CTS furnish excellent bread, and the 7 gentle buys 1t in preference to all otn- CT.
 For some or all these reasons, the | foreign Jew thrives, while the native gentle not seldom sees prosperity | leaving him, and descends lower and | lower in the social scale.
 On the whole, the writer has only admiration for the Jews. The more | of them in the city, the greater will 1t prosper They side with no one politi- | cal party They are not anarchistic. Their influence is on the side of moral ity and good government. They are | one of the city's bulwarks against any
 possible uprising or lawlessness on the l part of the unfortunately submerged tenth.
 Nothing can be imagined more re- | pulsIve looking than the majority of | the Jews arriving from eastern Eu- rope. They are dirty and unkept and | clad in tatters. But 1t Is to be consid-
 cred under what oppression they have | lived for centuries in Europe In Sall- l cia the 800, ,000 Jewish inhabitants are | continually on the point of starvation, | and those of Russia and Roumania are | hut little better off. But just one gen. | eration in this country works mira | cle. The young men who are begotten by those long bearded repulsive-look- | ing foreigners are finely formed well | educated in the public schools, com l pIetely Americanized, generally moral | and upright, and a valuable addition
 to our population
 The wealthy Jew with culture added | Is true aristocrat. in the good sense of that word The writer has been | much employed in a confidential capa- | citv In wealthy Jewish families, and | has had abundant opportunity to ex- | anime their home and private ire l They are very democratic in their views. not at all clannish, intensely patriotic, and second to none in every | respect. They are the most broad | minded of people. The fact that they build no great universities of their | own. but prefer to send their sons to l Christian universities is sufficient evl- l dence Of this fact. Also they entrust l their sons freely to be educated by | Christian tutors. They extend the hos | nitaIitv of their homes to gentiles the | same as te their own race. They take A leading part in civic and moral re- forms.
 l Tn New York and vicinity there ex-
 ists a strong prejudice, against the Jew
 But those who feel It manifest there 1 by their ignorance of history and what | the Jew is The chief cause of this 1 nrefudice is that so many Jewish fami' l iies have risen S, rapidly from poverty | to affluence that there has not beer | time to acquire the culture necessary l for association with people of refine l ment. These moneyed Jews without l culture have been largely guilty o l bringing opprobium upon their race
 and having them spoken of as tn'
 vt,l-ar Jew" But the inpoeent shouls l se made to anffax with the guilty
