We have enjoyed such support as our people have been able, through their limited means, to give and their patronage has always impressed us as the indication of a sincere effort to support us in our work of representation. Our correspondents have always generously helped us to fill our columns with interesting news of local color all of which we recognize with profound gratitude. The place of the WORKMAN in West Indian life on the Isthmus can scarcely be described inasmuch as it has been and still is the only recognized voi e of the coloured people. Our stand is distinctly and preeminently West Indian and it is our settled determination to represent in local and foreign connections every thing term West ndian connotes: Sixteen years ago, when the stirring need of outspoken leadership forced itself upon the attention of our people, making demands tnat knew no tangible promise of REMARK satisfaction we heard the ringing call to service and with our modest and unpretentious little plant around the corner at and Sixteentb Streets we made our decision to accept the challenge of the moment and do our duty, as we saw it, ia answer to the appeal of uur brethren from BRANDE the islands.
The attempt was bold and venturesome but we felt bound to come to the aid of our misrepresented and misunderstood people whose enormous numbers and industrial importar ce did. not then avail to gain (merited recognition or consideration, even while their services were known UNSWEETENED to have been entirely indispensable. The industrial events of the past are too disagreeable to recall, but we feel impelled to remind our West Indian people that al hough ecunomic conditions are not yet what they should be they are a long way ahead of those evil days when the labour of the Negro here was not even regarded as service worthy of ordinary remuneration. We are now fording ahead and with the assistance of the press we shall win out in the long fight for equitable and just treatment.
But the WORKMAN cannot continue along the old lines: The one man proprietorship is unable longer to bear the burden of the day. Our fellow West Indians must rally to the Cause and give us their financial support. Frankly, it is our intention to incorporate our plant and paper. We have thought of this for several years past but the hour for active effort had not arrived until now.
