SIX PfflONIZE OUR 01B TO HELP 1 (Preston News Servlco.) I Cleveland., Ohio, Sept. 22.?There Is a great deal of talk tunoug Negroes all j over the country about tho necessity' of patronizing raco enterprises. \ great many of those wlro do tho most talking alxiut this do not always praiv-, tico what they proa oh. But UiVjy are constantly lamenting the fact that, there are so few opportunities for Mk ' trained young man and woman of color to find some<hing to do; and are con stantly "cursing? out the white rac?( because they will not givo Negroes equal opportunities. There is nothing, then left for us to do but create bus!of rmr nivn mul ninlrn thofln nl? portunitles for our own young peopl.v To do this we must patronize our own young pcioplo. To do this wo must pat ronize our own race institutions. Anent this phase of our lifo in America E. D. Canady lias the following to say editorially in the Portland:, (Oregon) Advoente of which lio is editor. "We were rocontly very much inter osted in a discussion wo overheard among a number of our pooplo a? to wftiy they didn't patronize colored bui-V nessmen. Ono said 1iJb reason for no\ patronizing our colored groceries was that once upon a time a colored merchant "short-changed" him. And from that timeon he would nover trade with a colored man. We wonder if some wliite merchant hasn't cheated this man out of more than did the colorcd businessman? However, it is interestnote that he did not say he would not patronize another white businessman. Another salid: "I would, not putt my money in a colored hank . for any consideration.' When askfd his reason lie said, 'Now didn't the I'Toedman's bank in Washington, 1). 0.. go broke and a lot of colored people loose their money? And didn't Jolin M'ltcheli's bank in Richmond, Va? close?" j Perhaps this coloro<l brother badn , I hoard of the number of banks operated by whites wlijeh had been closed, cans ing thousands of people <to lose their money, lliglit here in Portland the State Hank has recently gone out of business, leaving many of its patron? in poor financial circumstances. B no one has hoard any sensible person say that ho would not deposit any more mjoney in white banks. This same colored man, if he hind any would bo found in the front lino in a money id deposit in a bank, we wager whijte bank. { Another's excuse for not going to. rooming lioifses or hotels conducted by I Negroes was tihat colored people who I run hotels talke<l too much ajul want' to know all about, one's business. Now there may be some truth in the last oxc?i.so. But let them ta,lk, It will do T T t T T r f T T T Y T t T T T T ? T I It t Y X Pn v X nal J I bm \ pri % bui i 7 f 1 I | . T T | L?

Willit tho colored raco needs Is to patronizo each othor more, in all sorts of bugiitesq, for it is only in this way wo can become a powor in tlio business wUrlii. Wliilo it may bo truo that tliol colored bua'ncssnuun is not up on all 1 tho details of conduoting his business,! novoitheless If encouraged and patro-" nized, he will soon develop all tho fino points tlwit go to make up a successful businessman. Patronize your own people in busi-1 ness and help them to give a hotter and i)igger business to the public." PRIZE RRITISll 8HJP' WHISKEY ANI) $50,880 SEIZED.
