Boston Transcript.
This city is losing ground as a port of

importations of machinery Of all kinds
have decreased so per cent. During the
same period the importation Of machin-
cent and that thru Philadelphia 20 per
cent. Baltimore shared the same fate
as Boston, losing about one-half of her
customary machinery imports. Compar-
ing the Valuations for the whole coun-
try it appears that last years import
Of machinery is 20 per cent less than
that Of 1900. In the face of a general
decrease both New York and Philadel-
phia have gained while Boston and Bal
timore have lost enormously.
It Is principally in textile machinery
that Boston has lost, but her loss indi-
Gates a gain for the domestic manufac-
turers. At the present time the domes-
tic demand for cotton machinery can be
met by the domestic manufacturers, as
a rule. Moreover, the English manu-
facturers, from whom most Of the i'm
ported machinery is bought, have such

 Secretary Taft's Address.
 Secretary Taft said in part:
 "It is now the habit of many con- tempIating the condition of the two races in the southern states to shake their heads and say that the negro problem is far, far from solution, and that the future in this respect is dark. Plans have been suggested of a migration of the neel race to some other country, where they would live by themselves and grow up by them selves and create a nation by them. selves.
 Such a suggestion is most chi merieal. The negro has no desire to 20 and the men of inc south would seriously object 10 his going, It makes no difference how the negro came here: 1t makes no difference how impossible and objectionable the amalgamation of the two races may be: it makes no difference how im- possible it may be for them to come together socially: the negroes are in this country as part of our people and are bound to continue 10 be l part of our people.

 Negro Has Made Progress.
 With difference to those who have looked more into the question and who differ on this point from what am about to say. it seems to me that instead of affording ground for dis couragement in the solution of the so-called problem, review of the history of this race since the war jus tifies the statement that great pro. gress has been made. Not only has there been a movement by the ne gro race itself along similar edue. ticnal, industrial and economic lines, but there is much encouragement in the attitude now taken by the leading men of the south who see the diff
