powering the Board of Supervisors to impose an
annual tax Of 25 cents on the 500 of taxable
property, until the amount of such tax shall
reach the sum of $50, 900, to be appropriated for

The Board refused to purchase building for

CAN She AFFORD IT ?-The sugar crop ofLou-
isana is protected against West India competi-
ton by tariff of twenty-four per cent. From
1884 to 1858 her sugar crop amounted in value
TO S24s l39, ,26o, the total product for that time
being 4,0l4, ,709 hogsheads, of which the Allan
tic ports took l,4s5,6ss hogsheads, and the
Western States 2,314,454. As Louisiana has
never yet, without enormous protection, been
able to compete with the West India Islands, as
through the Union she has been enabled to mo-
nopolize the sugar market of the entire Repub-
lie, the question naturally arises, can she afford
TO sacrifice her leading interest by seeding
from the Union?
