Having given the objective treat
ment OF this subject out attention, let
us now turn our attention to the
subjective and see if we cannot dis
cover the real cause or purpose OF
this continual discrimination, perse-
cution and bounding of the Negro
as it haunts the Southern mind, and
expose, if possible, the utter futility
of their methods.
The Negro is made an issue in the
politics of the South, arraying race
against race, for the object, as We
have stated. OF solidifying the white
vote against the interests of the Ne
gro, the ulterior purpose being hi
complete and lasting effacement from

This brings us to our second prop
Osition. viz: The educational and
material advancement of the Negro
will finally compel political recogni-
ion. Take the three States where
he Negro element is greatest-South
| Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana
and what do we find? 1t present
these States, on the educational and
property basis, the white in South
Carolina outnumber the blacks two
to one; and in Mississippi and Lou
isiana three to one If this state :
affairs were thought to be permanent
these States would rest easy; but the
very fact that all of them have
adopted Constitutions which have for
their purpose the perpetual disfran-
chisement of the Negro, shows that
they see clearly they cannot long de-
pend on an educational or a property
device as a permanent deterrent force
to the Negro in the exercise of his
suffrage rights. They know, as we
know, that illiteracy among us is be-
ing reduced at a phenomenally rapid
rate, and that homes, farms and busi-
ness enterprises are multiplying with
a rapidity that statisticians are al
most unable to follow. All this goes
to emphasize the political importance
of the Negro. The pity is that some
of our colored leaders do not see il
as clearly as do our white opposers
There are Southerners who view
with alarm the attitude of the South
on this question, and have given ex
preston to their apprehension. On'

for the South to be as anxious a

has, and the most pronounced of the
apostles of acknowledgements is scarce
ly consistent with the time-honored
professions of Northern favor and
friendship for the Negro(. I fear
it indicates a gradual influencing of
the North by the continued extrava-
gance and billingsgate of this man,
if not its entire realignment on the
Negro question.
The propaganda of such men as
"tillman," "hoke smith" and 'varda-
man" in constantly Haunting the race
issue in the face of the country, is
fraught with the greatest evil and
the most serious consequences to the
status quo of our social peace and
order.
With this type of demagogues, the
Negro is an ever-effective and relia

PROSPERITY AND THRIFTLESS-
NESS.

Want and privation, poverty and
hunger appeal to the sympathies OF
all, but in study of present indus
tfial conditions in the light of ex.
rerience 1t is saw commentary on
she thrift Of the army of the ulcm-
pIoyed to know that after 10 years
of unparalleled prosperity, when
work has been plentiful and wages
the best ever known that they have
not something laid away for a rainy
day.
The country mas been passing
through an era Of good times. Not
only have wages been good for skill
ed labor, but for labor of all classes,
and the demand has pushed wages to
the highest notch ever known. With
this demand came also the, inde-
Nndence of labor, with requests for
shorter hours and lighter labor.
These demands cut heavily into the
profits of the employer and advanced
prices resulted. and on the wave Of
advancing prices came increased
cost OF living and it is questionable
whether or not the net result has
been beneficial to labor,
But the question Of thrift is the
save on any basis. The problem is
nationaI.in Its scope. II, not interna-
tionaI- It is a sociological question
~ deep import. 1t is evident that
high wages and steady employment
are no more the essential basis OF
thrift and economy than less favora-

the entire wage schedule.
Presses are built much heavier
here than in America, the machines
being CONSTRUCTED to last a long
period, even at the sacrifice of speed
and efficiency. Few cylinder presses
run more than 900 Impressions an
hour, and they require two or three
operatives each. Feeders are in al
most all cases girls or women, earn
ing about 20 marks ($4.76J a week.
A two revolution press is. practical
ly unknown in this country. The
web press, printing direct from the
type form, without the expensive
operation of sterotyping, is also alb
sent from this market.
The one great AFFECTION the Ger
man printers and publishers have
against the American built mach
ines is the difficulty of obtaining
parts in the event of a break down.
They freely admit that the American
product is more efficient, faster, and
constructed on more graceful lines
lin short that it is a better all
round money maker" than the
German press. But they contend
that the increased profit which
would accrue while the press is
running would soon be Offset by a
wait of six or eight weeks for parts
to make necessary repairs after a
breakdown. This objection could be
easily overcome by the establishment
of a centrally located warehouse,
stocked with the various parts.
