is eternal life carnegie's advice to young men youth's companion : you are about to start in life and it is well that young men should begin at the bigin : i j i ii jjc and occupy the most subordinate positions many of the business men of pittsburg had a serious responsibil ity thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career they were introduced to the broom and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeeping out the office i was a sleeper m\self and who do , von suppose mv fellow sweepers werer ! david mccargo now superintendent of ' the alleghaney valley railroad robert pitcairn superintendent of the penn sylvania railroad and mr moreland city attorney of pittsbnrg | begin at the beginning but aim high i would nor give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself | the partner or head of some important firm there are three dangers in your path the first is the drinking of ' liquor the second is speculation the 1 third is indorsing 1 when i was a telegraph operator in pittsburg i knew all the men who speculated they were not our citi zens of first repute they were re garded with suspicion i have lived to see all of them ruined bankrupt in money and character there is scarce ly an instance of a man who has made a fortune by speculation and kept it the man who graspa the murniug ■ paper to se how his speculative ven tures are likely to result uniirs himself for the calm consideration and proper solution of business problems with which he has to deal with later in the day and saps the sources of that per sistent and concentrated energy upon which depends the permanent success and often the very safety of his main business the thorough man of bus iness knows that only by years of pa tient unremitting attention to affairs can he earn his reward which is the result not of chance but of well-de vised means of the attainment of ends nothing is more essential to young business mea than untarnished credit and nothing kills credit sooner than the knowledge in any bank board than a man who engages in speculation how can a man lie credited whose re sources may be swept away in one hour by a panic among gamblers resolve to be business men but speculators never the third d auger is the perilous habit of endorsing notes it appears to your generous instincts and you say mow can i refuse to lend my name only to assist a friend it is be cause there is so much that is true and commendable in that view that the practice is so dangerous if you owe anything all of your capital and all of your effects are a solemn trust in your hands to be held inviolate for the se curity of those who have trusted you when a man in debt endorses for an other it is not his own eredit or his own capital that he risks it is the money of his own creditors therefore i say that if you are ever called upon to en dorse never do it unless you have cash means not required for your own debts and never endorse beyond those means assuming that you are safe in re gard to these your grave dangers drinking speculating and endorsing — the question is how to rise the rising man must do something excep tional and beyond the ai»ge of his special department he must attract attention a shipping clerk may do so by discov ering in an invoice an error with which he had nothing to do and which has escaped the attention of the proper person if a weighing clerk he may be safe with the firm by doubting the adjustment of the scales and having them corrected your employer must find out that be has not got a mere jhirtli-g in hi service but a man | not one who i content to gire so many hours of work for so many dol lars in return but one who devotes his spare hours and constant thought to the business our young partners ii 1 carnegie brothers have won their spurs by showing that we did uot know half as well what whs wanted as they did there is one sure mark of the com ing millionaire his revenues always exceed hi expenditures h begins to save as soon as be begins to earn for every 100 you can produce as the re sult of hard-won savings midas in search of a partner will lend on credit 1,000 for every 1,000 50,000 it is not capital that your seniors re quire it is the man that has provpn he has the business habits that make cap ital begin at once to lay up some thing it is the first hundred dollars that tells and here is til prime condition of success the great secret concentrate your energy thought and capital ex clusively upon the business in which you are engaged having begun on one line resolve to fight it out on that line to lead in it adopt every improve ment have the best machinery and know the most about it finally do not be impatient for as emerson says no one can cheat you out of the ultimate success but yourselves — new western railway guide the protection we want we are for protection but it is pro tection for agriculture the lending in dustry of the south and west the fun damental ibjnstry of the whole coun try we hold that it is entitled to some consideration at the hands of our law-makers we hold that it is high time th infant industries of the north which have grown into lusty giants to say the least of them were allowed to some extent to look after themselves and that the languishing interest of the farmers should receive some attentiou it is the basis interest of the land and while it is depressed as it is now and has bepm since the republicans estab lished their high protection principle no other interest can prosper save as a fungoid growth so to speak on the body of the people legislation has been steadily away from the interests of agriculture ever since the republican party secured the direction of public affairs the pre sent high tariff taxation the surplus revenue the tax on raw materials is directly against the wefare of the far mer the mortgaged west cries out for relief the south under the al most crushing burden it has to bear waiting patiently for the day when its load might be lifted and it leading in terest bo allowed at least an even chance to make headway toward inde pendence it is waiting still the democratic administration just ended did what it could for the refiel of the toiling masses our democratic presi dent pleaded as few men have done even in this republic of free anil equal citizens for justice to the toilers for the impartial treatment of all intejests for tariff reform tariff tax reduction stoppage of the surplus revenue for the benefit of workers and the well nigh despairing farmer but all to no avail the boodle of protection's pets at the north together with the most outrageous bull-dozing of northern employees who had to vote as their employers dictated or have the bread taken out of the mouths of their wives and children triumphed over justice and right to all classes and we have again to take up the battle for re lease from the toils that plutocracy has thrown about the country we long for the day when the great west will join with the south iu the work or freeing agriculture from the shackles that bind it from the weight that bears it down almost hevond the hope of ever rising again when the westerners will no longer be induced bv appeals that they should contemn to vote as they fought but will vote with their brethern of the south for the best interests of both and of the whole country regardless of sectionalism regardless of state lines regardless of all but the common brotherhood of the people of the unit ed states and the fact that an injury to one individual or to any one section is an injury to all and we do not think the day is dis tant we believe the alliance re re fer to is rapidly taking shape al ready with a judicious and patriot ic campaign of education from now until 1892 we believe the two sections will vote together in the next general election and that the principle of tariff reform will then triumph as it is bound to do eventually — raleigh news-obm n't r we copy the

there are three forces sill mighty forces with the negro at work to make this movement a general one in the first place the party with which they have allied themselves since eman cipation are encouraging them to go thei a good many of those who have already gone we*t are writing back such letters to their old friends con cerning the advantages of the move that those lest behind are on fiie to get off the third and most potent force that is moving them ia the counten ance given the movement bv the negro preachers they are preaehiag emi gration from every pulpit these three influences combined ire power ful enough to move nine-tenths of the negroes from the state in the next two years what then are we to do that is the question of course the negroes have the right to go as they please we ciii do nothing to keep them here nor should we be so inclined if we had the power we may as well make up our minds to their goiug and turn our at tention to what is to be done after they are gone the state will probably sutler for a short time from his with drawal of so many laborers but in a short time it will recorer and be better off for the riddance of so many negroes the thing to be done is for the white people to go to work and tend their own lands instead of having the ne groes do it for them what's the matter with us now is that we have too many white men who are depending for a living on the work of negroes the farmers will have to stop sending their sons to towns seek ing employment as clerks c but must put them to work on the farms xow it is too frequently the case that as a young fellow gets a tolerable educa tion he is above working on a farm but mil t go to town and become a gentleman why hecan'ta be as much a gentleman on the farm as when be hind the counter it is every bit as honorable indeed we have more respect for the young man who prefers to re main on his farm and produce some thing than for the one who comes to town and tries to play the dandy un der hair parted iu the middle and be hind the abominable cigarette molding the handles of a plow is every bit as honorable as measuring calico and is decidedly more so than loafing around town doing nothing it is better to make ones self a man than a gentleman god did not make adam 1 gentleman he made him a watt and that is what each boy in north carolina should strive to make himself let the negroes go and let the white people tend their own lands and there by show that they think farming as honorable an occupation as preaching practicing law or medicine or any other calling then our old
