READ THIS TWICE.

The Afro-American Sentinel, pub
lished in Jackson, Tenn, in it's last
issue contained the following editorial
article which is so pointed that the
APPEAL reproduces it for the benefit of
few of it's delinquent subscribers: :
Many croakers who read and pay for
white papers, which have nothing bet
ter than abuse for. the race, stu bbornly
refuse to support Colored papers on the
ground that they contain nothing worth
reading If this class would support the
Colored papers there would, most like
ly, be less to say on the score, and now
and then they might read something
plimentary about their narrow, sell
fish pusillanimous selves.''
There are few subscribers on our
list the color of whose money in pay
ment for The APPEAL has never been
seen in this Office. Yet, some of these
individuals pose as bright light is in So
ciety and occupy high seats in the sane
tuary, talk loudest and longest about
the advancement of the race, etc., and
week after week THE APPEAL is carried
to them, and it seems the sight of it
ought to remind them that the sub
scription is unpaid. Think of it, all
who read this, and ask yourself the
question: 'sAm 1 doing as I would be
done by in not paying for The AP-
PEAL?" 1t is as much the duty of city
subscribers to bring or send to the Of
flee the amounts due, as tits for out-of-
town subscribers to send their money
through the mails. 1t is hoped this
little hint will arouse the honor which
now seems to be slum bering in the 4
bosoms of large number who have
The APPEAL sent to them as regularly
every week as if they paid just as regu-
larly. The Office of The APPEAL is on
south side of Fifth street, between Min
nesota and Cedar, No. 76 third floor,
and is open from clock in the morn
ing until 6 o'clock in the afternoon
We will be pleased to see any of our
delinq uent. subscrib ers at any time and
hope to see quite number of them
soon.

ANYTHING FOR FREE TRADE.

ANYTHING FOR FREE TRADE.
Free trade attorneys are nothin if not
Inconsistent. In one breath they de-
claim against any form of tariff, for the
alleged reason that the duty is always
added to the price paid by consumers.
In the next breath they demand tariff
REFORM" through adoption of the British
policy Of collecting, revenues from nom
competing imports.
In other words, they ask that a tariff
be laid against the importation of articles
in which there can be no home competi-
ton to aid in keeping down prices, and
that revenue be collected exclusively
from such articles as the country must
purchase and import at whatever cost,
or do without. --- -.
This means that Congress shall put on
the free list all wooden, cotton and linen
fabrics, all manufactures from woods and
metals, all grains and animal products,
and collect the more than $l0O, 0OO, 900
now obtained from these competing pro.
ducts by imposing tariff on coffee, tea,
spices, rubber and other non competing
household necessities that now come in
free.
Of course the demand for 'revenue
reform" along this line is promptly Sec
onded by the Golden Club, finds Jealous
commentator in the foreign press, and
need not appeal in vain for substantial
assistance from those European manu-
facturers VINO seek to sell their wares to
our people without being subjected to
the Inconvenience of having to pay for
such privilege. No sane man believes
that any money foreign competitors
might save through reduction in our
tariff would be allowed to benefit any
but themselves. Their sympathy with
tariff reduction in this country is mat
ter of business rather than philanthropy;
and on true business principles their
allies on this side the Atlantic will not
be permitted to relax their efforts in be-
half of free trade in every product of
factory, forest and mine in which Amer
lean enterprise is now Interfering with
foreign ambition and sel6ehness. The
shrewd business men behind the warfare
in behalf of free trade have never ceased
to covet the reward promised by their
Parliamentary commiltee few years ago
as certain to follow substantial control Of
the markets of this country. Nor have
they relaxed their efforts to that end.
Let the answer given them in 1855 be
emphasized in 1892.
