THE Free Traders had dinner at New
York on Wednesday, last week, in honor
of Thomas Bayley Potter NJ. P, David
A. Wells, "the Ajax of Free Trade in
America" took for toast and made a
speech on "Seel rails" England $37 ;
Pittsburgh $B7 20 per ton" Mr.. Wells
said protection and revenue were soon
to become National political issues, and
charged Mr.. Potter to tell his associates
in England:
That nine tenths of all our educated
young men, graduates from our colleges,
are believers in free trade, and that out
side of Penney lvania no profe ssor of pO'
litical economy of any reputation in our
institutions of learning can be found,
willing to stultify himself by teaching
anything but free trade.
Ex Secretary Bristow made speech,
sympathiz ng with the free trade move
ment, and in favor Of retiring the green
backs now in circulation. The sudden
revival of free trade theories among the
Republicans is remarkable. Republican
journals, too, are vigorous in their ef
forts. Senator L lmunds's avowal o.
sympathy with the revenue reformers is
also a notable point.

OUR FLAG NOT ON THE SEAS.


Time was when American vessels car
fied four fifths of the goods entering into
the foreign trade OF this country. But
what proportion did they carry this last
year2 0nly twenty.three per cent and
of the exports they only actually carried
seventeen per cent. This is strange
and lamentable fact. The most singular
part of it is, that American ships actually
carried less than they did twenty i've
years ago Trade has grown from to-
tai of $64l 900, 600 in 1855, to total of
81 1873 100000 last year-almost double
but American ships carried in 1856 goods
valued at $4S2, 900 600, and in 1878 8 only
1912 100000 worth. Trade grows year
by year, but American navigation stead
lily decays.
This is the New York Tribune's state
ment of the present condition of Aneri'
can commerce. While in the last TWEEN
ty-hye wears our foreign trade has in
creased from $3.50 600 600 TO twelve hun
dred millions, American ships carry but
little over half what they did twenty-five
years ago.
This is one of the most extraordinary
exhibits of deCaying commerce that
has ever been made. 1t emphasizes the
fact we are acting on wrong principles;
that our laws are bad, and should be
modernized.
There appears to he but one measure
of relief, and that is free trade in ships
Our navigation laws which prevent us
buying ships where We please, are sew
enty. Ave years old. For about tifty-hve
wears they were com paratively harmless
because we were then building the best
sailing vessels ahOat, and as we were sell
lers Of ships, it was of no consequence
TO the United States that their citizens
could not legally become buyers Of ships
Later, when the clipper ships gave way
to the iron steamships, these laws shut
US out of the market for iron ships, aud
hence, as we could not make them our
selves, we bad to go without them. Con
sequently we are now using our extend
ed seacoas, and magnificent harbors fol
observatories simply-to see how vel
and pro6tably the ships of other nations
sail our waters
Germany, which has lately made grea
ado over the adoption of the protective
policy, does not build iron ships, but per
mits it's people to buy them whereveI
they can, and as consequence Germany
has large and RAPIDLY increasing mer
camille marine. We sit still and see tht
carrying trade, even of our own mighty
commerce, drawn away from us.-Pat'

Tup uolmes Conntv Farmer takes o

The Holmes County Farmer takes oc-
casion to remark that "Miss Lille G.
Darst of Circevile, is candidate for
Chief Clerk of the Ohio House of Rep
resentatives. Lille is an editress, and
we are in favor of giving her chance.
She is thought TO be capable, and it
would be unfair to urge her sex as dis
qualification" Judge Estill, editor oi
the Farmer, is a member of the House
and genuine old eternal principle
Democrat. We shall see whether his
eternal principles will allow him to vote
for a Republican lady. But, then, hav'
ing passed his word, he will, we hope
abide by it.-Ohio SiGte Journal,
Ofcourse we Darst vote for Lille. She
never voted Republican ticket. Never
filed her trousers pockets full OF corrup'
ton funds, and went out to thwart the
will of the people at the ballot. box. She
never had job from a Republican ad
ministration. Why should not any 'eter
nal principle Democrat vote for nice
little lady like Lille? Especially when
no Democrat need apply.-HoImeS County
