champion killing State, having snatchet
the laurels from the brow of Louisiana
In making good crops Texas has done
nobly. Man has planted and God has
watered, and the earth brings forth III
abundance. To the noble efforts of the
men who pillow and plant, some glory
should be given. We prefer to praise
the industry rather than the politics Of
Texas people. The Picdyune bas no such
idea. That great journal startles the
world with the announcement that the
unprecedentedly good products of the
earth in Texas has been accomplished by
two years of honest Conservative admins
tration, meaning not the administration
of the plow and hoe to the land all over
the great and glorious agricultural State,
but the administration of Governor Coke
IN the obscure village of Austin. In 1872
| Texas gave Greeley majority of 1929
votes against Grant; in 1878 she gave
Coke, tor Governor, majority Of 4S,0l2
votes against Davis. Had Greeley and
Davis been elected, who can estimate the
amount of blghting misery that would
have fallen upon Texas in the way of
drouths and idleness: Look at Louisiana
under Republican rule, and look at the last
annual statement of the Picny,,1e. Have
We not had epidemics, drouth, overflow
and negro massacre, all brought on by
want of a Democratic Governor? and do
we not see by the annual statement that
banks and banking houses have been
o7ertiowlng with deposits" that vi may
look for a handsome increase on last
year, as regards the cotton crop, say
total of four and a half million bales;
and did not the new crop commence COM
ing in much earlier than usual; and was
not the sugar crop of Louisiana for 1874
put at 116 SCI hogsheads, against SO, 49S
raised in 1878? There was also rice crop,
so Insignificant that it is not reported in
the Picaytne, much to the surprise of the
st. Charles Ifera'd-a rice crop of I04 1853
barrels. 1t is also seen, according to
MIR, Bouchereau, that much larger
molasses crop is assured. The Picayiue
also tells us that the acreage of oats has
been extended, and that more corn is
growing than ever before, which will
make ''our planters Independent for corn
supply" All of this in spite of the shot
gun terror held over colored men, with
the tendency to drive laborers from the
country. And now We are told that what
Louisiana needs, to be happy and pros
porous is to have ''two years of honest,
conservative administration, and the edi-
tor from somewhere says, down with
carpet-bag governmental Upon the theory
that crops increase or diminish, according
to the political sentiments held by Gov
ernors of States, there is danger that the
planter may be ruined by cheap prices of
his products, You have but to convince
the Granger that Democratic vote-act-,
ing as a fertilizer will make three blades
u,
to carry all the States, and the result of
electing Democratic Governor in each
of the United States of America would
be such spontaneous action on growing
crops as to glut every cotton and grain
market in the world. There will no
longer be cotton and corn exchanges to
compile reports ard make estimates; the
crops will be based upon election returns
and the number Of bushels of corn will be
figured out by the number of Democratic
otice-holders. 1t is a new theory, more
feasible than that of warming and cloth
ing the world with ramie, and more in
comprehensive than Keely's motor
