REMEMBER BOYS MAKE MEN.

When you see ragged urchin
Standing wistful in the street,
With torn hat and kneeless trowsers,
Dirty face and bare red feet,
Pass not by the child unheeding:
Smile upon him. Mark me-when
He's grown he'll not forget it,
For, remember, boys make men.
When the buoyant youthful spirits
Overflow in boyish freak,
Chide your child in gentle accents
Do not in your anger speak.
You must SOW in youthful bosoms
Seeds Of tender mercy; their
Plants will grow and bear good fruitage
When the erring boys are men.
Have you never seen grandsire,
With his eyes aglow with joy,
Bring to mind some act Of kindness
Something said to him-a boy?
Or relate some slight or coldness,
With brow all clouded, when
He said they were so thoughtless
To remember boys make men.
Let us try to add some pleasure
To the life of every boy,
For each child needs tender interest,"
In its sorrow and its joy.
Call your boys home by its brightness,
They avoid gloomy den,
And seek for comfort elsewhere;
And remember, boys make men.

HON. JAMES L. ALCoBy, OF MISSISSIPPI.


This once-honored portion Of the
land, which once sent the best and
ablest men to the National Congress
and gave Washington and Jefferson
as Chief Magistrates to the Repub-
lie, has not to-day single member
in the Cabinet, not 2 representative
..* --z<~.---> ~ sl.nrrk af Aha Init
ed States, no representative to any
foreign court.
Who is to deliver the once gallant,
noble and generous people of the
South from their present degraded
and oppressed condition? In look
ing over the Senate of the United
States we fix upon James L. Alcorn,
of Mississippi as their future cham
pion in that body. He was born in
the Territory of Illinois, in the year
1916; his parents moved from South
Carolina; his grandfather came with
in five votes of being elected as the
pro-slavery candidate for president
of the constitutional convention,
which framed the constitution for
the State of Illinois. He COM
menced the practice OF the law in
Kentucky, and was elected as a
Whig, from Democratic county,
to the Legislature of that State.
He then moved to Mississippi, and
was elected as Whig from the
Democratic county Of Coahoma to
the State Legislature. Since his
election in 1912 to the Legislature
from Coahoma county, it has ever
since been a Whig or Republican
county. He was nominated by the
Wings for Governor of the State Of
Mississippi in 1856, but declined.
He was a Wing candidate for Con-
gress against L. G. @. Lamar, De-
mocrat, from a District containing
4,800 majority. Alcorn reduced
this majority to 1900. Every other
district in the State increased the
Democratic majority. Gov. Alcorn
served eight years in the House Of
Representatives and eight years in
the Senate in the State of Missis-
sippi. He has been in all the lead
ing State conventions, save the one
held in 1868, since he became a ci-
tizen of the State Of Mississippi.
He was appointed at the COM
mencement Of the late wara general
in the State service, and Jefferson
Davis was petitioned by the whole
of his brigade to appoint him Gen.
eral in the Confederate army. But
owning to some old political differ
ences between Davis and himself,

ROOMS OTATE CENTRAL COMMITTED
Republican Party: State of Louis
lana, New Orleans, March 18, 1872
To the Republican State ofLouis.
lana
The Republican State Central
Committee having, in the discharge
of the duties imposed upon it by
the last State Convention, arrived
at the regular period which has
been set apart by the usages of the
party for its State Conventions, and
having authorized it's President to
issue the usual call, therefore deem
the occasion suitable to address
these brief remarks upon the politi-
cal situation to their fellow Repub-
licans. The quadrennial election
for President Of the limited States
occurs this year. The election Of
this high officer of the Republic,
whose character and political views
are so important, especially to the
Republicans Of the South, and whose
selection almost decides our politi-
cal fate for the next four years, and
perhaps the whole future, makes
this election one of the deepest and
most vital interest to all our people.
We feel that wespeak their 1nanim-
Gus sentiment when we invite them
to respond to the call of the National
Republican Committee, and advise
them to send our best representa-
tive men to the Philadelphia Con-
vention, to help in selecting tried,
true and unfinching Republican to
be our next President. Our State
election is also of the greatest i'm
portance. We have to elect a Gov
ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Secre-
tary of State, Auditor of Public Ac-
counts, Superintendent of Public
Education, Attorney General, a new
General Assembly, and Representa-
tives in Congress. In fact, this
election is to determine question
still more important to us than
who shall be the next President. It
is to determine for the next four
years whether the State government
Shall be Republican or Democratic !;
in favor of equal rights, or against
them !; in favor of progress, educa-
ton and improvement for all peo-
pie, black as well as white, or in
favor only of white progress, educa-
ton and improvement, and opposed
to equal advantages for the black
people j; whether we shall retain all
that we have won and go forward,
or whether we shall lose all and go
back to where we were at the close
of the war.
We wish plainly and distinctly to
understand the fact that all parties
opposed to the Republican party,
whether under. the name of Demo
Gratis, Reformers, Peoples party, or
any other title whatever, are simply
the old Democratic party under a
new name, and have for their OBJ
ject but one thing, that is to throw
the State government out of the
control of the Republican party and
into the hands of their enemies.
Our people will also see that to de-
feat the strong and determined ef-
forts of the enemy to again get
control of the State, one thing is
the, great essential, that all Repub-
licans shall be UNITED AND
WORK TOGETHER. IF we do
this, victory is certain.
To this end We cordially invite all
true and earnest Republicans, with

LIBERIA.
The Cultivation Of Coffee,

Mr.. J. Milton Turner, ATTACHED
to the United States Legation i,
Liberia, writes as follows to the st
Louis Democrat.
81 have the honor of sending 20,
a package Of African (ormore strict
y speaking) Liberian coffee. The
coffee has been pronounced by those
of great experience in the cultivation
of the article equal in quality with
any in the world, and superior to
most. The reason it does not pre-
sent more desirable appearance II,
That the people Of tue 6ss6diddntry have have
not the necessary machinery for
taking the berry from the hull that
covers it. The hull was removed
from this by beating in an ordinary
mortar, by which process you will
discover many Of the grains were
broken. By close observation you
will find a misfortune of greater
importance has befallen this coffee
by reason Of the same process, to wit:
the very delicate skin that nature
provides the cofee-berry with, for
the purpose of preserving that aro-
matte favor that renders the Mocha
so delectable to the practised ap-
petite of the epicure, is almost en-
tirely destroyed. Liberians are but
now discovering the fact that coffee
is to their country of by far greater
Importance than cotton has proved
to us. In vain have they endeavor-
ed to find their staple in sugar-grow-
ing. Each country can make its
own sugar, either from the beet,
cane or some other sugar-producing
plant. Cotton can never be more
than their auxiliary staple, because
they will not be found equal to en-
ter into comparative competition
with the great modern republic, and
because of their being located SO
many removes from the great mar
kets of cililization. If this infant
republic outlives the political revolu-
lion now existing here, one decade
more, I am quite certain, the prolific
'oil of Liberia will be shaded by an
almost uninterrupted coffee grove,
along the Liberian
'oast from Cape Mount. to Cape pal

sell the SAVIOR OF the Grant ADMIN
istration. He made Mississippi th.
breakwater to stay the Democratic
food that was sweeping over tht
South, and had already engulphed
Tennessee and swept Virginia from
the fold of the Republican party
into the hands of the Democracy
and had it not been for this bold
fearless, and eloquent champion o1
the State of Mississippi would have
been placed side by side in the De.
mocratic column with Virginia and
Tennessee. By his courage, deter
mination, and powerful eloquence
the South was saved to the Grant
administration and the Republican
party.
For these great services Governor
Alcorn has, never been appreciated
by the Grant administration. The
time will come when they can count
upon his host, and not fall far short
in their reckoning. His great am
bition now is to disenthral and re-
generate his brothers in the South,
and for his field Of action, for his
work, he has selected the American
Senate, wherein the American peo-
pie will hear from him and Judge of
hisgreatness by his acts. Governor
Alcorn neither seeks Office nor emo
lument. On the committees of the
Senate he will be found upon Naval
Affairs and Levees. The latter COM
mittee, we presume, if he had been
consulted, he would have preferred
to have been on, above all others in
the Senate, as he desired to be
placed where he could be most USE
ful e his people; and no man in the
edge Of the wants to2f*fA,sf 81 fG,ss ps5Pfs pR i
that country, and Of the leveeing of
The Mississippi, than the Hon. James
L. Alcorn.
He was for twenty years or more
The acknowledged leader of the
Wing party in the State of .Missis-
sippi, and has been bold and fear
less advocate of their measures,
which he conceived to be right and
just. His integrity as a man and
an officer has never been ques-
Toned.
James L. Alcorn springs from an
honored stock, to be found but
rarely now in the old original thir-
teen States which formed the COM
pact against Great Britain. Many
Of the sons Of these people, like
young Alcorn, made their homes in
some one of the new republics,
which, like Mississippi, form part
of the great Union. Why should
be not, as an instrument in the
hands of Providence, with his fine
culture, Judicial experience, legisla-
live training, great integrity, and
that goes to make up man
md a statesman, be selected as the
champion of this much-abused peo-
pie? Th1 AK is great; but he will
prove hlzz.a,f equal to the emer-
gency, ana bring the South and her
honored name back to the page of
history, where no dishon-
or shall ever tarnish it. Then his
name will be enrolled in the annals
Of his adopted State, which shall
stand as high as that of Sergeant s.

Beef Eating Blankat-Makars

The protected laborer in the United
States has to work on an average seven
teen hours longer to buy pair of FIVE
pound blankets than the pauper laborer of
Europe. If we break the monopoly of
home blanket manufacturers the American
laborer could buy his blankets with the
same amount Of labor that the European
laborer has now to pay, and with scarcely
any loss to the Treasury
The average wages of a day laborer in
the United States are ST. rs per day of ten
hours-l73 cents per hour, Cost of pair
Of five pound blankets in New York, Sc. so.
In the country they cost more 1t there
fore takes as near as possible thirty seven
and one-seventh hours to earn a pair of
blankets. In England the average wages
of day laborer are 4 shillings a day of
eight hours, or sixlence per hour. The
cost Of pair of fvdspound blankets is 10
shilhngs 1t therefore takes the English
laborer only twenty hours work to earn a
pair of blankets To put the comparison
more clearly:
The protected American laborer works
for pair of blankets thirty-seven and one
seventh hours
The pauper European laborer works for
a pair OF blankets twenty hours.
The laborer does not need new blankets
every week or every month. But he does
continually need shoes, clothing, hosiery,
crockery, cooking utensils, needles aud
pins for his wife Including hair-pins, on
which the illustrious Sam Hooper got the
duty increased from 35 to 50 per cent
spool thread, and his extortionate rent.
He cannot spare seventeen hours from
sixty hours week which constitute his
sole capital and stock in trade, He has nc
balance If he stops work, sick or well,
he must depend on charity.
/ We only get S13, 900 revenue from blan.
/ kets, and those Of the finest kind We
use $4,000, 900 worth of blankets, and
We keep the duty ON them to enrich few
blanket making millionaires. If blanket.
came in free these millionaires would be
poor, and the revenue would lose a paltry
! $4,000, but the shameful swindle we have
exposed would be done away, and Tho

The fathers of. the republic appear to
have had clearer insight than great many
of their grandchildren In-the debates in
Congress upon the bill of April 1892, in
which, at Secretary Hamilton suggestion,
increased duties were imposed under the
pretext Of protecting the frontiers, Mr.
Page, of Virginia, said that, ''As to en-
cOuraging manufactures by import duties
have ever thought it foreign to the bust
ness of Congress, and if not so, mere
taking from one hand and giving to
another Certainly that is SO, since the
consumer pays the duty in every instance.
How much is taken out Of the western
farmers hand and put in the Pennsylvania
founder hand in the one process of build
ing railroads of taxed rails ? Not less
than ten cents a bushel is levied upon
every bushel Of corn raised west of the
Wabash river by the protective duties laid
