In reply say: | will never barter
away my "liberty Of free speech" for
all the summer friends this hollow
world could afford 1t is true
friend "is good thing to have in the
country but friend that can be
bought by lattery, or by descending
into the filth Of toadysm, is not worth
the having, and is huge burlesque
upon true disinterested friendship.
| hear, also, that a certain Grange has,
or is about to pass a resolution, to
Ostracise me, not to countenance or
patroniZe me in any shape or form.
This sounds like business! Yet, / can
hardly believe it. Rut, If true. it
proves one thing, that the fool killer
hasn't passed through Richland
Parish lately. Mr.. Hemler, alias
Vulcan, intimates that the Changers
are about to take action in my case
when he asks: HAS Laboratus
raised himself in the estimation of the
Changers ?" Pou cry "WOlf! WOlf!"
when your man is not afraid of the
Beast!
when he attempts to array me against
myself in parallel columns. In my
criticism of Dec 18th, | say that they

plan of redemption, represent the
views and tendencies of the grange
system" / say professedly repre-
sent, not actually. No! no! A man
may profess religion, but this doesnt
actually give him religion. So there
is no contradiction between my first
statement and my second, that | was
not warning against the Grange; that
my remarks were not lcveled at the
Grange per se."
ONE HUNDRED DoLLLARS REWARD
Is now offered for one bona fide con-
tract, embodying the following Rules
and regulations: That the Employee
shall not leave the premises of his
Employer without his (tbe employ
er's) consent, to 60 a bunting or Wis
iting or fishing on any day; that he
shall be present especially on rainy
days to do such jobs as are required
on all plantations; that the employer
shall dictate that all the women, shall
do some kind of work either in their
own houses, or in some indefinable
place not yet mentioned by the COM
mittee. Or in case of disobediencc.
they shall instantly lie turned out of
doors by force, if need be, and be pur-
sued by the rancor and malice of the
former employer from door to door, or
wherever they may go to seek employ
ment, until they are forced to come
back to their former employer. For
it is written in the Book of the Chroli'
cles of the Committee, that the EN-
ployer is "to use every exertion to de-
ter him (tbe lsborer) from obtaining
labor elsewhere" after his discharge,
and soon after few Intellectual at.
tempts to procure labor elsewhere
Mr.. Hcmler says, the laborer will find
ut to bis interest to return to bis old
employer"
AN ASTOUNDING PARADOX.
Mr.. Hemler says he will discharge
and turn out of doors, a lazy, disobe
dent employee, then "use every exer
! ton to deter him from getting labor
elsewhere" that is, ride round among
, the neighbors, informing them how
lazy and trifling a certain employee
is, and thus lettering them from hir
ing him. All this be will do for the
mere purpose of driving this pool
: lazy employee back to him, that ht
, "may hire him over again." lazy anG
+ trifling as he isl! I! Again, Mr.. Hem
) Ter says. that when "tbe employee
, violates bis contract, all that ht
(Hemler) can do is to discharge him.
> No, not quite; you forget that yor
? are pledged to follow the recreant EN-
, ployee wherever he may 60 to fine
D employment, to notify all persons o

y hiring him. How does this tally

GOLDEN RULE?
Pshaw! this utilization of labo
: neither COMFORTS with common se1se
nor can such Rule bs applied to any
class of laborers in the known world
! But why should 1 spend my time Il

"You may ss we'll
