DIR. J. w. stage TALKS
ON THE RACE QUESTION

The Rev. DR.. j. w, Staeg, pastor Of
the First Presbyterian church, in an ad-
dress made yesterday afternoon before the
Twentieth Century club, outlined what,
in his judgment, is the solution of the
negro problem, or race question, in the
United States.
Dr. Stagg said several centuries before
the Christian era there came out of Cen
trail Asia four great branches of the
Aryan race. OF these the Roman and the
Greek settled in Southern Europe, found
ing there the idea of a great state. The
Celt went directly westward and north
westward and represented in government
the idea of pristly chieftain. The Teu-
ton settled in Central Europe and estab-
lished system of representative gov
eminent The Slav settled in what Is now
Russia, his mission being to develop the
idea of the rights of man. This mission,
however, was in time lost sight of by the
Slavic peoples, Tolstoi being the first and
only real representative of the idea in
Russia.
To what is now the United States of
America, said DIR. Stagg, came voun-
tarily representatives of all these four
members of the Aryan race the Tentons
and Celts and Latins arriving first. In
America was developed the idea of the
rights of man and representative govern
ment. The negro came to this country
against his will. He was brought here as
slave. He represented when he came,
and has represented since, no great idea.
He was an alien mentally and tempera-
mentally. The civil war emaneipated not
the negro but 1.-The poor white trash of
the country.
Two giants are closing in on the negro,
said DIR. Stage. OF these the frs. is the

/ immigrant from northern and southern
Europe, who are settling in the SOUTH and
with the white people already here arc
monopollzing all forms of skilled labor.
The second is the Monaghan who, in spite
of exclusion laws is landing at San Fran
cisco. The Monaghan will In time crowd
the negro out OF all positions of mental
employment. 1t was clear to him. said Dr.
Stagg, that the negro would, by the logic
of events, be crowded down and out. 1t
was true that some members of the race
had accumulated a little property, but
compared with the thrift and energy of
the emancipated poor white man and keen
witted immigrant, the negroes virtues of
this kind were insignificant.
Thinking members of the negro race,
said Dr. stagg. see the handwriting on the
wall They know that their race has no
future when placed in competition with
the Aryan race. Schools like that at Tus-
kegee for the education of the negro are
working with mistaken purpose. but
will accomplish good results. Their pur-
pose, at present, is to encourage the ne
gro to seek social equality in this country
and to fit himself for life work in the
United States. This purpose will fail but
negroes, mostly mulattoes, will thus be
educated to grasp the idea of represent
tative government and to transplant to
Africa, the natural home of the negro
In time these leaders of the race kill
recognize that the negro, as a race, has
no future in the United States-that the
door of opportunity here is effectually
closed against him-and will organize
plans to colonize the race in Africa Hun
dreds of thousands of negoes would seek
homes in Africa, said DR.. Stage. and those
that remained here would be literally
hewers of wood and drawers of water.

Current business is fair with rather a

contracts and these, together with actv-
ity in consumption, which is on the in

into the market. A feature at this time
is the unusual difference in demand for
various grades. Bessener and some foun-
dry grades are scarce, while other are

Matthew Addy & Co.'S report says:
"There is no substantial change In the
market There is no particular good news,
and certainly there is no bad news. Things
are going along just about normally.
There is steady buying of all kinds of
material for all kinds of deliveries. The
buying, however, Is small as compared
to shipments Shipments of pig iron are
going forward at an absolutely unpre-
cedented rate, mainly of course on old
orders. The iron that is being shipped is
being used ana consumption toudy 10
greater in America than 1t ever has been
before in the history of the trade. The
strength of the situation without any
question at all is very largely resting
upon the steel mills.
"All of the steel makers are going to
their utmost capacity, and almost without
exception where they are buying iron on
the outside they are asking to have ship
ments made faster than the merchant
furnaces can supply them. The United
States Steel corporation itself has taken
some furnaces off of Ferro Manganese
in order TO put them on to Bessemer. The
steel business is so excellent, so phenome-
nally excellent in fact, that there Is
very general expectation that it will
continue as at present for long time
to come"
