(Continued from first page.) ful condition. A condition without a parallel in our present civilization aside from the United States. The ar tisan classes in the United States (re lating to race members) are excluded or socially ostracized, by opposing forces preventing their full share in the avenues of industrial enterprises, they are taught in schools in col leges trades and professions which af terwards are proven to be wasted energy. The walls of race prejudice are built around them, and guarded by powerful enemies who in Congress have disfranchised the race. SOCIAL PHENOMENA The awakened conscience of these people is surely and truthfully a sci entific fact; there must be an outlet to these pent up forces, which hitherto have slumbered. Their double and treble strength in all truthfulness must have an outlet. Nature demon strates herself in this way under laws of natural forces. Violent forces with in the earth cause terrific explosions there, which is true under the social organization. Something must be done to relieve these forces which are daily growing into discontent. Their advance agent was duly sent to Brazil, where he traveled in the in terest of men who have nerve, brain and muscle. He was successful. Em ployment was secured in advance tor those who have gone. Shall Brazil be to the race that long desired haven that new England of fered the British and Dutch persecuted who fled England’s coast because of intolerable conditions there ? OLD FOLKS’ HOME FUND.
