The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1868-08-12
Another Printing Bill

santatives of Louisiana on Monday last
and was sent to the so-called Senate for
concurrence. The machinery Of these bo-
dies is an admirable continuance for the
purpose Of fobbing the people Of Louisiana
and for forcing the sale Of news
papers, which otherwise would hardly
be touched by pair of topgs. But it re-
mains to be seen whether the plan will
work 30 far as the dissemination of their
vile and poisonous ideas is eoncerned.-
Money of course they cannot be prevented
from making, no more than you can pre-
vent the highwayman from presenting his
pistol at your breast and commanding you
to deliver to him your valuables or lose
your life. 1t has come to that. These
wretches will never be satisfied until they
have extracted the last dollar the people
have, and the sooner it is paid to them the
sooner We. shall be rid of their offensive
presence.
