time, at any national, state, county, city or
town election to his recollection, and Ger.
taInly not At the last election. He never
hired an employe because he was a demo
crat or republican and never discharged
one for that reason; and whoever says he
has ever done so Is willful and malicious
liar. And as 70 the case In point, the
Journals charge that the postmaster was
guilty OF so contemplate an exhibition of
parti.anship as the discharge Of these men
because they voted for Harrison" 1t can
be said tina, the man who did discharge
these men can make oath that the postmas-
ter knew nothing OF the matter until one
or two days after the men had been notified
that they would be dispensed with, and
was never consulted TO % 70 the propriety
of the step-he was simply Informed that
the step had been taken. A. a matter Of
fact, the postmaster Of Ottawa has been

emoluments since the day Of his induction

THE NEGRO In Politics.

That the negro Is naturally republican
goes without saying, for although MS many,
ana probably more democrats than repub
licans fought during the war of the rebel,
lion to secure his freedom, yet the admin
istration WAS republican, and no one will
ever be able to persuade negro that II is
not to the republicans alone that he owes
his emancipation.
Yet the negro Is n sentimental creature.
and many instances are recorded In novels
of remarkable manifestations of negro graf
tude and fidelity, even at great personal
sacrifice.
1t was on glimmering assumption that
there might still be remnant of these
virtues In the negro breast that in the late
campaign, quite movement was set on
foot to secure a considerable proportion, At
least of the 10000 negro votes of thus state
for Gen. Palmer The opening was quite
promising. A negro Palmer club was or
ganized in Springfield with some 400 mem
bers, A newspaper was started edited by
a negro of intelligence and capacity, who
travelled over the state, collecting many dol
airs from the democrats rs subscriptions TO
his paper and organizing colored Palmer
clubs; so that by the LIST of September IT
looked as If Palmer might get half the
negro vote Of the state. He had reason 10
expect this Had he not been an enamel
patlOnist before the war? Had he not
fought as a stalwart republican soldier all
through the war? And as military gov
ernor Of Kentucky ar the close OF the war
he had incurred censure even from his own
party for the lengths TO which he went 10
befriend the negro. They could not but
remember this and he thought he could
place little trust in their gratitude.
by October, however the republicans,
being well supplied with "fat," went to
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1888-11-24

The manager of the FREE TRADER on
Saturday night discharged two of his en-
ployees because he felt that he could use
the same amount of money they cost him
in getting two better hands; and he has
done so. This is matter of no public i'm =
portance save for the fact that the Ottawa
JOUrHdl, whose zeal as a republican CON
sists in doing dirty work, attributes DOS
itlvely their discharge to the fact that they
voted for Harrison. Whether the men did
or did not vote for Harrison is a matter en-
tireiy without the FREE TRADER mans
knowledge, though since the youyndrS
statement was made he has been informed
by outsiders they did vote for Harrison,
Palmer and the democratic county ticket.
He knows that one of the men was en-
ployed by Mr.. Brewer to peddle tickets for
him on election day, because the man re-
ported on leaving his lease" that he was
going out for that purpose, and II is pre-
sumed he did so spend the day. But the
FREE TRADER man never asked either of
them 10 vote any ticket; he never asked
them 10 vote at all-for anybody, at any

adverse balance" has continued, not five
or six years, but a hundred years-to this
day In f"ct-and yet money In England is
more plentiful than ever, Money may go
out OF the country at time when II Is eI-
porting more products than II imports, as
In 1885, when the exports of merchandise
exceeded the imports by ti4,0s9,00O, and
the exports OF gold exceeded the imports
OF gold by $22, 100000. The theory that
Imports In excess Of exports robs . coun-
try 81 It's money has long since been ex,
ploded as false. An excess OF Imports sim.
ply means that the country having an ex-
cess OF Imports Is getting large return for
the products II sends abroad, or 10 bringing
home the profits Of Its carrying trade, or
has profitable line OF foreign investments
the product of which 10 being paid for by
the goods imported. II an excess OF mer-
chandise exports means q large return In
money, why Ia It that from 1876 to 1886,
while we exported 1883 500, 900 worth Of
merchandise In excess Of our imports, we
got back In gold coin and bullion only
$l65, ABS 800! What became OF the bal-
ance Of 81 ,423, 1888 worth OF merchants
disc exportsy Who paid US for them Or
did these values, which ought 20 have
stayed at home, If we are to be enriched
by them, go to pay interest and principal
of American government, municipal or
railroad bonds held abroad or were gifts
Of Americans to Europeans; or went TO pay
the rents of the thousands OF acres OF lands |
owned here by foreigners, who draw rents
from Americans just as English lords do
from Irish peasants? Having paid for all
our imports by goods, we sent abroad near
ly fifteen hundred millions of goods be-
sides to satisfy foreign claims on our In
lustry. II gave us favorable (g bal
,nce" Of trade; but who Is fool enough TO
say that 1t is matter for national self-con-
gratulation'
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1888-11-24

Free trade would not open foreign mar
kets 10 us That is fallacy Matched in
the colleges and circulated by free trade
fanatics. Foreign countries would not buy
any more of us under free trade than they
do now. We hive free trade with Brazil
in coffee, vet last year we imported 800.
600, 600 worth of coffee free of duty, and
Brazil only took about $4,000 600 worth of
goods from us, We imported SlG,T00,000
worth of tea free of duty, yet China only
took about $4,000, 600 worth of goods from
us If we had free trade with Great Brit

manufactures, and NOT take a dollars worth
more of our breadstutfs than she does now

Now, if that Is not pure and unaduterat-
obiterated from the lexicon. Are we
poorer because we get $l6,100000 worth of
tea for only SG,000,00O worth of goods :?
Are we poorer because we get $GO,O00,000
In coffee for only SS,0000O0 worth of goods /?
Can we be made poorer by England's
flooding" this country with her manufac-
lures and not taking out of il dollar s.
worth more of our breadstufT5 than she
does?
Is England going to gire us this flood I"
of goodsY Who would object to that :?
Very few people in this wo.ld work for
the fun" of the thing. Men work to get
food and clothing and the Injuries of life;
aud most OF us would be very glad to have
England gre them TO rs for nothing. But
nobody is fool enough to thnk she will.
What this high tax paper is trying to
impress is the alleged fact that the bal
auces above noted are paid Ia money and
therefore IL this "unflvorable balance" is
continued, It Is only question Of time
when the country will be drained of its
money! over a hundred years ago, as
Hume tells US, some one In England "de

cranks do to-day, that IL the "balance of
trade" excess of Imports should continue
for five or six years more, that country
would be drained of It's last shilling. The
