the output of the plant for twelve

prices to-day averaging ti profit of
thirty three and a third per cent.
Theyjdid not guaarntee that these
prices would hold good, but jn this

CLEVELAND'S SPEECH ON THE
NEGRO.
Ok the fourteenth of this month
the Hon Groyer Cleveland made '.a
speech in New York on the negro
auestion, and as, usual, when the
old -man opened his mouth, great
chunks, of wisdom ieu mereirom

thj negto and his improvement and
well being. They do 'not tbelifeve in
the social equality of the-race, and
they make no false pretense in re
gard to it. Tliat thisdoes not grow,
out of hatred of the Degro is very
plain. It seems to me that there is
abundant sentiment and abundant
behavior ampng the Southern whites
towards the negro, to make us doubt
the justice of chargiue: - this denial
of social equality; to prejudice, as
we usually understand the word.
Perhaps it is born out of something
so much deeper and more imperious
thau prejudice as to .amount to a
racial instinct. vVhateyer h ist let
us lemember that it ha3 condoned
the negro's' share in the cumiliation
and spoliation of the white man of
the South during the saturnalia ot
reconstruction days , has allowed a
kindly. feeling for the negro to sur
vive, the time when the South was
deluged by a perilous flood of indis
criminate, unintelligent and blight
ing negro suffrage. Whatever it is
let us try to be tolerant and consider
ate of the feelings and even prejudice
of racial instinct of our wbit
councrymen of the South, who in
the solution of the negro problpui
must, amid their own surroundings,
bear the heat of the day and stagger
under the weight ot the white m-iti's
burden."
His enemies bay that he wants to
be president again and wc wish
him Godspeed but he says that it
is not true. In commenting on the
above paragraph The Charlotte Ob
server calls to mind some things
which he did while he was Presi
dent, saving:
It is perceived that Mr. Cleveland,
in this; speaks as a Northern man,
addressing himself to Northern men.

And yet he states the case -with ex
actness. No ' Southern man has
stated it so Veil. It is an illustration
of the breadth of his vision. There
has been no man iri"half a century,
save him, great enough to look this
whole great country over, to realize
the complex problems which con
front its various peoples, and to
suggest the wise course for' all. To
the South he was always more than
kind. In the Grant, Hayes, Garfield,

heresy in popular government was
urged upon him, but against them
ail he stood erect, and in recompense
he has what few meu who withstand
clamor havehe has lived to see his
vindication.
The Observer, be it understood,
considers Mr. Cleveland, as an ab
oiraction. He. will not be, ought
not be. a candidate for President
again, but - we cannot forbear to
suggest how right he has been all
the time, how good he has been to
us people of the South, particularly
how correct he is upon this negro
question and, over and above all, to
say to the young readers, i that his
public life is an example. N
LETTER TO ROXBORO COTTON
MILLS
Dear Sirs Here's what "wears
longer" means.
O. T. McG own, Coopers town, N.
Y , built a house in 5 ana painted
Devoe. The paint lasted ten years.
A year or two later, a neigh bor
built a house and painted it lead
and oil. The -neighbor's house was
repa'nted twice in the same time.
This looks as if neighbor's house
was painted three times in. eight Or
nine years, and McGown's once in
ten years. We are net quite sure
we tell the tale as it comes to us.
It-is enough to say that Devoe
LeacTand Zinc lasts twice as
bug as lead and oil alone. The, rea
son is: whie lead is soft and chalks
off; zinc is hard; and, when
thoroughly ground into the lead,
prevents its chalking and makes it
more durable.
