Summing up, far we have gone it may be inferred

THE NEGRO PRESS.

The Negro Press forgives the
man or woman, who cannot pay
for race paper, it forgives those
who cannot read. But aside
from these, there are many who
withhold their patronage without
any reasonable excuse.
People who boast about the
latest cut of their clothes, their
hospitality and conviviality care,
from no valid reason, why the
Negro Press, through which is
done whatever public opinion can
do, does not receive their support.
For the man or woman who does
not subscribe because there is
nothing in them, only this need
be said, that if he and hundreds
Of others alike would take Negro
papers and pay for them when
they are taken, such a complaint
could not be made. The person
is unutterably small, who will
deprive the struggling Negro
press of whatever he can towards
its success. Decried and despis-
ed as it is by those whom it
would help, the fact is still unde-
niable that our weak voices have
penetrated the gloom and sum-
mon:d help to desperate cause,
and deserving people.-The Re-
former. & @
The above expresses our idea,
and we suggest to our subscribers
have your friends who are not
readers of the Bystander to read
this article, then ask them if they
are subscribers of any periodicals
published by Afro-Amer:cans and
note their reply.
