FOR THE ceLoRED FOLKS.

a new Journalistic candidate for
public favor has appeared in this city.
1t is called 1.-THE Broad AK" and it's
motto is: "Hew to the Line 1t is to
be published weekly, and be Demo-
cratic in politics. The chief interest in
its production is that it is edited by a
colored man and published for the
special benefit of the colored people.
Mr.. julius f. Taylor, the publisher
and editor, is evidently "a gentleman of
good education and clear convictions.
He uses excellent English and in his
opening articles exhibits familiarity
with both historical and current ques-
tons. He shows that there is no logi-
cal reason why colored man should
be Republican, and that it is only
by sophistry that people of his race
have been persuaded that the Republi-
cans We're their only friends and the
Democrats their enemies. He declares.
too, that 'the result has been, the
colored people, thinking of the past
only, disregarding the present and fu-
ture, have as "a class blindly followed
that party with devotion unequaled
in the history Of man; forgetting the
fact, that it was the fortunes of war,
and not the design of the Republican
party to free the slaves
On this question we quote another
paragraph:
Slavery existed in the south and
the south is Democratic; slavery did
not exist in New England, which is
Republican; hence the south is the ma
tural foe of the negro, and the north
his natural friend" This is a sample
of the sophistry used to pull the
wooP' over the eyes of the colored
man. Have we not overlooked the fact
that the reason slavery was not es-
tabllShed in the northern states was
that 1t was not profitable to the
whites, as it was in the south? It
was recognized and practiced in most
all Of the states and colonies, both be-
fore and after the Revolutionary war.
1t is true that the people of New Eng
land washed their hands of the sin.
Piiate-hke, by selling their slaves to
their brethren of Virginia, Georgia and
the CaroHnaS. because it did not nav
to keep them so far north. 1t is true
many of them then turned abolition
lists and cfamored for the liberty of the
blacks, thus showing they were first
actuated by mercenary motive, and
then, envious of the apparent prosper
ity OF the southern planter, male
virtue of their jealousy to despoil their
neighbors.
White as we'll as colored folks may
peruse with profit what is said in the
columns of the new weekly paper,
which will be open to rational and i'm
personal controversy. We wish THE
Broad AK" success in cutting away
the trees of error which cumber the
political soil, and that it will be laid
at the root as well as be welded SO as
to chew to the line"

IMPUGNING MOTIVES.

When a writer or speaker can find no
higher motive for the acts of friend or
foe than mercenary incentive, it is
evidence of a venal and corrupt mind
in that writer or orator. There is a
paper in these parts which continually
charges, or insinuates, that its oppo-
nents are either bribed into silence or
brought into the advocacy of men or
measures antagonistic to its own views
or purposes.
Its own vulnerability in this regard
is a matter Of common comment and
these continual aspersions expose it
still more to the open scandals it's con-
duct occasions. When an individual
always leaps to the conclusion that an
other must have been purchased be-

cause he advocates something hostile
to his position, the suspicion naturally
arises that he judges others by his
own standard. The same may be said
in reference to a public journal.
The editors who have just left Utah,
passed resolution while here, in favor
of the free and Independent coinage of
silver. Our morning contemporary deli
cately intimates that they will not be
unlikely to talk otherwise when they
reach home because of the money
power, which it says is perfectly dis
ciplined, and able to do almost any
thing that it pleases to-" We pity the
poor soul which all the time suspects
that people write and speak only as
they are controlled by the money
power. 1t indicates it's own standard
and justifies the belief that its native
tendencies are thoroughly mercenary.

tration. Expenditures have for some
time exceeded the revenues, but this
has in large part come as the conse-
quence of Republican legislation chat
compelled the expenditure of vast
sums of money
The Pittsburg Dispatch, a leading
Republican paper in a leading Republic
can state, in a recent issue discusses
the subject so ably and so fmpartially
that we give it entire. The article is
one that affords food for most serious
thought and reflection, and is felici-
tously entitled "Debt-Creating Poll
ticians:''
1.-THE steady excess of expenditures
over revenues in the finances of the
government calls the attention of the
public anew to the fact that al the.
financial troubles are due to the fact
that the government is spending more
than it takes in. OF course the ultra
Republican organs of the type of the
New York Recorder assert that they
are due to the fact that this is "a debt
creating administration" and go on to
make complaints like the following:
Under Republican administrations the
national debt was reduced. Under the
only Democratic administration the
country has had since Buchanan the
debt is being increased. That is one
great difference between the two par
ties
The subject is too important to per-
NIT of it's distortion for the purpose
OF making party capital. If we are to
make the errors of the past serviceable
in teaching us what to avoid in the
future, we should perceive exactly
what has caused the trouble without
any partisan squint to it, 1t is que
that the draft on the reserve, the issue
Of bonds and the periods of weakened
confidence in the government credit
have been caused by the fact that we
have shifted from a period of debt
paying to one of making debt: but it is
grossly unfair to charge it all on the
administra ton. The debt was created
when expenditures We're made in eX-
cess of revenues, and the responsibility
for that lies with the body that author
wed the large expenditures
Those who should be really charged
with the responsibility are the debt
making politicians without regard to
party. The era of lavish appropria-
tons with no thought as to where the
money was to come from began with
the Billion Congress and has lasted
ever since. The party line has not APP
peared in the spending of the money
and 1t should not in fixing the respon-
s1biiity for it. AS to administrations,
while each administration is response
Ole, comparison as fair as that quoted
IS furnished by the fact that the first
Cleveland administration paid off debt
ana left surplus in the treasury. The
HARRISON administration paid off debt
out wiped out the surplus and laid
hands on such trust funds as the ma
tlonal bank redemption funds.
We should be frank and recognize
that the trouble with our finances is
in the prevalence of politicians of all
parties, who had rather spend money
than stick to the old-fashioned and
certain course of keeping down ex-
penses and paying off the debt"

one. In the course of the day he con-
sumed, according to the local papers, six

1t is perhaps the law of self preser-
walton acting in politics that causes
either party to charge the other with
all the ills that come upon state or
the nation. All the ills that have
come upon the country in the past
two years have been charged by the
Republicans as being due to Demo-
cratic policy although the coming of
those ills was seen long before the adj

The energy with which Mayor Strong,

Strong represents a large and influential
