In advance. - WILMINGTON, N. C. TUESDAY, JUNIT 15, 1897. THE NEGRO AS A COTTON MILL WORKER. The north is about catching at a straw. ' One cotton mill, In Charleston, S. C, Is about to try the negro as a hand or operative. At once northern papers begin to discuss "the new prob lem In the south." It will be some time before the whites are (displaced and negroes are generally substituted. White labor is extremely low In the south too low for the comfort of the operatives. The negroes cannot work for much less than the whites work for and may "not prove so efficient. The niorth expects labor troubles to come out of it. The New York 'Mail and Ex press asks very knowingly: "If the experiment now proposed proves to be successful, will not the general employment of negro factory labor, so far tfs practicable, become nec essary through competition? And Is the south prepared to accept an Inev itable accompaniment of industrial de velopment without precipitating a new race problem, to add its misery and lawlessness to those which have bur dened the exercise of the suffrage?" The "New York tpaper does not un derstand the Situation. In the south negroes work right along side of whites which cannot happen in? the greatly sympathetic north, at long range, fin every southern community you can see whites and blacks working together. In all Yankeedoodledom this cannot be seen because it does not happen. "Up there" Sambo is not allowed to get in the way of the man of white skin Then again, ' unlike the north, the south is not given to strikes. What will throw a northern community into a state of storm and riot will pass over a community in the south as gently as a summer's breeze. There will hardly be a "problem" to solve in the, south as to negro labor in the mills if they should be found fully capable. The New York paper fancies that this "problem" has been long discovered by the knowing ones in the north. Gam mon! Tt is only quite lately they had discernment enough to see that the south was anything of a rival of the north with greater opportunities and advantages. The reason that white labor is lacking Or may be lacking hereafter is the low wages; and the more remote question but Important, of the morals of the milling class There are a great many negroes in the north hundreds of thousands why ' do not the mill owners utilize them as they suggest 'to the south to do? Hear that solomonic wise paper, The Mali and Express, saying glibly: "The negro cannot 'be eliminated, anil lie will not be ignored. His progress mean's the progress of 'the south, the 'minimizing of pauperism and the de crease of crime. This the south, If-it is wise, will recognize now Instead of waiting till riot and bloodshed have re opened 'healing wounds and rendered capital timid and insecure. Instead of seeking to accomplish the impossible task of shutting the factory door against the negro, the southern workman should aim to teach Mm that his labor Is worth as much as the white man's under similar conditions." Read that again. -It is very "cheeky." It domes from a city where negroes can not find employment in a calling 5n connection with whites. There is not Na negro workman in New York who la bors. In the same mill or workshop or printing office side by side with, the whites. The republican gold, high tax organ tells the siouth what it must do in the changed conditions that to avoid riots Jt must put negroes in cot ton mills for. the negroes "will not be ignored." Bosh and tomfoolery! If a negro is never put in a cotton mill In the south until Gabriel's final horn blowing there will be no rioting on ac count of it. It is just such fool talk that injects nonsense and bad feeling into the negroes, Let the great, rich; sentimental, horn-blowing north set the example of giving the negroes employ ment in all callings and industries, be fore it. seeks to advise the south. IDo more for the negroes among you and talk less. A negro in New York or New England is just as capable as one in the south. Give him a chance and quit lecturing the south as to what to do and what to avoid. Explaining the Charleston movement. The News and Courier says: 'The fears of our contemporary as to the effect of this experiment on the ' cotton manufacturing industry in the south generally are wholly without foundation. There i3 no desire or dis position anywhere in the south to sub stitute colored operatives for white. There was no wish to do, so in Charles ton. As we have ' explained, upon the authority of the owners of the mill In this city, the employment of colored op eratives bere was a matter of necessity rather than a question of choice. Af ter (repeated failures to maintain their property with white operatives they were forced to try colored operatives. It was a condition that confronted them, and they have met it In the only practicable way." We do not know, but we suspect that the needed white labor could be easily obtained If the Charleston owners would pay better wages as good as those at Fall River, Mass. Pay more life-sustaining wages in the south and we cannot doubt all the white labor desired will be forthcoming. The north would be glad possibly to see negro labor substituted In all southern cotton mills labor that even New England millers have pronounc ed good, efficient as well as cheap be- cause the south finally will make all the higher classes of goods that are the most remunerative. If the negroes are utilized the hope may be that the mak ing of the finer goods will be either impossible or will be greatly retard ed possibly forever postponed. The News and Courier Is looking for great results, we judge, from the experiment "with1 the negro labor. It takes the "optimistic" view of grow'th, expansion, .final control. Let our able South Car olina contemporary be heard just here: "If "it be demonstrated that the col ored operatives tn the Charleston mill cannot acquire sufficient skill to snake . fine goods, this mill will have to con fine Its work to coarse goods. If the experiment' with eolored labor herd should fall, that will be the end of the matter, and also the end of the mill. If it should succeed, ft will Inevitably transfer the cotton manufacturing in dustry of the United States to the cox- ton growing states, where ft naturally belongs. With the skilled White labor emibloyed on the finer fabrics ana the colored beginners ait work on the coarser counts, and an abundant supply of tooth kinds of labor, the south would assume the Industrial supremacy or this great country." In many 'section's and in many mills In the south the pay 'is Bald to be very low for capable white labor. Consider this In considering a change of labor. HOME FOLKS. - The New Bern people are aroused and Indignant over the course of Mr. James P. Clark, who elected a democratic al derman went over to the enemy. He has made humble confession and will do so no more. Let him be pardoned and let it be warning to others. It is fortunate that President Holli day has been retained in connection with the Agricultural and Mechanicaf college. If any one can do efficient work with the new political professors save the mark it is he. But what a blight bad politics shed lipon all they touch. Unless the people rise up and rescue this very Important school from the cruel clutches of the Russell freeze- out gang It will be doomed to decay. The election to be held in August as to voting $500 for education in the school districts Is being discussed in the weekly press. This is right. It is f-very Important, and will do good If the people vote : wisely and the money is properly expended. It is a very good and important thing not only to give schooling to the children, but to give them the very best schooling possible. Some people think that the fine Sun day edition of The Messenger contains a good deal of what Is known as plate matter matter prepared in the north and put In stereotyped columns but it is all set in our officeupon our linotype machines. The discriminating reader is getting now a great deal of very carefully selected matter from best sources in addition to the original reading prepared for each Issue. Let proper appreciation be shown in a ma terial way by the readers and the next advance will be a sixteen-page issue; Our type enables us to give a great deal of reading matter considerably more than double that usually given. Heigho! It never rains but it pours. There is constant shower of gross er rors at Raleigh perpetrated by the thing that met at Raleigh in the early months of this year of political calam ity called by way Of extreme courtesy a legislative body. If the state had of fered a great premium for ignorance, duplicity and folly in combination, open to all contestants, the thing would have hit the bull's eye, rode first under the ring, taken the cake, grabbed the bag, wrung first the goose-neck, car ried the jack-knife, taken the picture and worn the fool's cap. Our Raleigh letter of Sunday told of the last dis covery, by which the state loses reve nue and the foreign fishermen have open fishing grounds in North, Carolina waters. That Russell gang was an awful set. But they did not blunder more or more viciously than the tsar. By the way it has been a week or so since he turned out any of his friends in the penitentiary. Probably they are all eagerly expecting an early delivery. If there Is no lynching reported in North Carolina it. Is not because the people have a friend of justice in the reigning kaiser at Raleigh. LEADING PAPERS DISCUSSING PROSPERITY. Some people as many papers say that these are gloriously prosperous times a perfect boom. And yet every day many of the foremost newspapers are discussing the delay of prosperity, the failure of promises, the causes why the country does not prosper, and. the con ditions of prosperity and kindred top ics. The doctors here disagree as in other things. One class the roseate fellows with well lined pocket-books say that trade is simply glorious. The other class, more watchful perhaps and more studious of facts, say there is as yet only the. advance agent visible. The able St. Louis Post-Dispatch, a demo cratic newspaper, is just now showing why our country fails to prosper. We do not stop to copy its figures. It takes us into a study of political economy and the mistakes in legislation. The very Influential democratic organ in Ohio, the old Cincinnati Enquirer is dis cussing th "conditions" of prosperity It agrees with the St. Louis daily that prosperity twill not return and remain until there is change in financial con anions. The New York Hun, an ex treme goldl protection sheet, claiming, we believe,! still to be something demo cratic (?), is certain that prosperity will not come without a tariff insuring- in come enough to meet the wild extrava gance in expenditures, but says noth ing of cuting down at all the said ex penditures, and without the cessation of legislation aimed at those sweet, in nocent trusts and "other capitalistic combinations." :, The Sun is a quack, a financial and economic humbug. The fact is accepted by all of the three pa pers that prosperity ia not yet. The nostrums of Dr. Dana will not cure but kill. The Enquirer is no doubt correct In the view that "money is the ques tion before the people," and it is cer tain also that the "business conditions do not fluctuate. The country has lost too immensely in the fall of prices for prosperity to be restored under the pre cise conditions that caused that great loss." The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says: "Our total losses under the pres ent system have amounted to billions of dollars. And they are continuing losses. They are coincident with a re stricted money standard which has forced lower prices and keeps forcing them lower." SO CURE NO PAY. That is the way all druggists sell GROVE'S TASTELESS CHILL TONIC for Chills and Malaria. It Is simply Iron and Quinine in a tasteless form. Children love it. Adults prefer it to bitter, nauseating Tonics. Price, 50c THE SLASHER IN FAVOR. We admit that we do "not like Mr. Page's opinion of either the Bible or North Carolina. We do not relish the lash when laid on by uhfllial hands. If the thing keeps on the more a man writes .dlsparingly and , insultingly of his people the wiser, the greater, the nobler he is. Well we are far. too, "old to take in that heresy. We were born under different surrourj " and (as sociated with men whf wno loved their native southj ready to defend It against -s and writers whether natives It Is the tendenc bow amo Hike' the "progressives' whd uncover their mother and draw caricatures of her to delight the enemies. An able south ern religious weekly likes Trent and " Burgess and finds -no little truth in their revelations against the south. If such papers would read Jim Blaine's denunciations of the south in the house and In the senate they would find many sweet morsels to roll under their tongue. Truth is truth, and slander is slander. Mr.. Page mingled the two, and so have Trent and Burgess. The Messenger showed one of Mr. Page's very misleading statements and illus trations. The able editor of The Reids- vllle Weekly, Hon. John R. Webctor, has shown others. It is no evidence of mental superiority to defame. It is no sign of an Intellectual prodigy to find him slashing the men of the past who were every " way grater than those of the present. Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FEVER TONIC. SNAPS. Boston the moral, the good, the holy the city of "culchaw" and higher ed ucation, had 31,000 arrests for drunken ness in 1896. Mighty bad, for Boston. When you carry politics into educa tional institutions you bring on palsy. When you take the judicial bench into TwHtina vou fill it with legal incom petents, demagogues and partisans. Maryland had a lynching a few days ago. .It was in Princess Anne county and at the door of the jail. It was a negro who paid the penalty for the an m nld orlme. He was under sen tence. The pope has rebuked those in France who orjnose the present "form" of government. He would hardly censure those who would seek to improve the present government which is said to be extremely defective. Viewing results' in New York city it is safer to be a rogue and robber than to be a Christian worker of the Salva tion armv brand. One is fined $500 or go to the penitentiary for one year; the other mav eo scott-free and live in clover. The greatest duty that appears, to attach to the waiting Prince of Wales is to wear as many new trousers as possible, and have them well preserved In a r.uriositv room, and to own some scores of horses.' He has just had sold fifty-three lots of the latter. The southern democratic protection robbers growl over the discrimination against the south in as much as the tax is less for protecting the south's inter ests than the tax for the New England and other northern robbers. It is not a question of principle but of the mag nitude of the robbery. The British papers comment on Mc- Kinley's flapdoodle talk as to prosper ity in this country. For instance The London Pall Mall Gazette says, in a long editorial on the business and.pol- itieal outlook in America, that no one but the most optimistic ' Amer ican can see anything satisfactory or hopeful in either. The republicans are forgetting first principles. They are now caucusing over annexing Hawaii. Then Cuba will come to be followed by Canada and isles of the sea, and then constant foreign complications, greater armies and navy, more taxes, a discontented country and the Man on Horseback. The people are too credulous and. careless in selecting candidates for of fice. .Could open-mouthed protection ists be elected to the United States senate from southern states, except Louisiana? How then, but from con cealed views, and carelessness in se lection, have southern states sent eight protectionists in disguise to the senate? Snubbing the great Gladstone at the "jubilee" for the old queen the great est statesman, says Earl Salibury, the tory leader and premier, since parlia mentary government was begun is as rediculous as it would be to have a convocation of all the immortal poets and for the smaller singers to refuse to acknowledge the presence of Shakes peare. It is not suprising that Senator Mc- Enery, of Louisiana, declares squarely for protection. That state makes sugar and is hot for a local tax. A Louisiana democrat is about as much of a demo crat as a New York or Connecticut democrat is,' a democrat. Protection may be in the next democratic plat form, and there will be another split. Disintegration is the order of the day. Eight senators are known to be un sound as to protection who were elect ed as democrats. Judge Terry, of Arkansas, is a decid edly able man and a native of North Carolina. He is what it is hard to find in the congress a genuine low tariff democrat without local favors. . He is thus reported by The-Washington Post: "How is the democratic party,, Judge?" asked a friend yesterday. "The democratic party," said the!
