FREE ADVERTISING AND NEWS
PUBLICATIONS.

The desire to obtain something for
nothing appears to be a passion with an
amazingly large number of people. Many
who would scorn to ask the passer-by for
aims have no hesitation in soliciting in
another form that which inures TO their
own benefit, without the pretense of re-
turning consideration.
The energy and output of exertion to
grasp a free thing, in a vast number of
cases, if rightly applied, would produce
three-fold the value of the gratuity
sought Men have been known to spend
time and money to procure free ticket
over a railway or steamboat route,
amounting to twice the cost Of the value
of the pass when obtained-indeed, trans
portation agencies declare that this is a
very common occurrence.
This craze to obtain something for
nothing, to enjoy the fruits of the labor
of others without compensation, is more
encountered by newspaper men than al
most any other business class. They are
constantly and persistently besought to
do that for the gain of others, which in
common reason is purely personal, and
in no sense of any public concern. Some
people their number is
| large-appear to be possessed of the abb
surd idea that it is not only defensible
| but highly commendable and praise
worthy to make the newspaper publisher
the unpaid agency for advancing their
private ends.
The lesser societies and organized bod
les, in a surprisingly large number OF
cases, select representatives who are sup
posed to be specially skilled in ''work-
ing" the newspapers, and in approach
ing publication offices with the foremost
purpose of securing as much free adver-
tising as is possible. Yet it is notorious
that in half these cases, if the persistency
is rewarded by the gratuity, when time
comes in which the newspapers could be
given liberal, legitimate advertising by
them, they are more likely to place il
in avenues through which they were
| refused free passage-such is one of the
wholly unaccountable phases of human
ingratitude.
To the credit of the merchant and pro-
ducing classes, be it said, this disposition
is very rarely manifest among them
With scarcely an exception they pay
their way and consider that the space
they occupy in public print is worth ev.
cry cent they expend for it. They are
not seekers for gratuities, as rule. They
are sensible of the fact that there would
be precisely as much reason in asking
the merchant from whom one purchases
a pair of boots to "throw inn an outfit OF
winter clothing as to expect the pub
Usher to discount the value of his space
by gratuities treble the price of the ad-
vertising for which he receives payment
There are considerations of clientage,
and business contributiye to its tastes
and desires, that induce publishers tc
print matter which, upon the surface
might appear to fall within the category
of gratuities. But the cliental of news.

FREIGHrs. The Freight Circular of Brown
< Co., New York, reports for the week end
ing Nov. d: Business during the week has
been to some extent curtailed by the recur-
renee of the Thanksgiving holiday. The
situation, however, is practically unchanged.
The demand for tonnage in all the distant
otf-shore trades continues remarkably light
for this period, and although the available
supply is moderate the market is barely
steady. Nor is there, upon the surface of af
fairs, anything to encourage the hope of an
early turn in the tide of de preston in con-
nection with the shipping interests which
prevails in all parts of the world. Orders
for petroleum are few, and the limits low
both for barrels and cases, though Oil freights
to the far East have a better support rela-
lively than to Europe, because of the scarcity
of suitable ships on the spot and nearby.
The inquiry for general cargo tonnage con
tnues light, and rates for Australia, the
West Coast, South America River Platte,
etc. remain substantially upon the same
low basis as for many weeks. Deal and
timber freights partake of the prevailing
apathy, and such little business as has trans
PRED is indicative of no improvement. West
India freights show no appreciate change
from the low rates that have recently pre-
| vailed, both outward and homeward. Coast
wise freghts remain dull, with practically
no change in rates for lumber, coal, etc, and
i'll view of the depression. many vessels are
already being laid up for the winter. Char

The Cleveland Plaindealer of Nov 18th

spirits of the non partisan temperance con-
vention in that city including Mrs. J. Ellen

of Maine The LATTER was reelected nation
al secretary of literature, and Mrs. E. A. d.

neers in W. G. 7. U. work in her county,
ably performing the duties of both cOun-

Porter was among the first who protested
against such action, and was in the front
ranks of those who withdrew from the
older society and organized the Aroos-
took county Independent Non-Partisan W.
&. I. [. She is one of Maine's strongest adj
vocates of non-partlsanship both upon the
platform and through the columns of the

valued correspondent. Mrs. Porter is iden-
titled with the Home missionary work of
her societies in the State and was appointed
by Gov. Bureigh d delegate to represent
Maine at the nineteenth National Conven-
ton of Charities and Corrections at Denver

throughout Maine. She has also shown rare
ability in her national department work.
