Alexandria Democrat:
The Pool Line, as we have often stated is not
monopoly: 1t Is q company formed by men
who have combined their capital to carry n
special business, and they have no exclusive
right to navigate Red river, for this stream Is
free to the enterprise of the country. BY this
time our people must surely be convinced OF
this. and what they are now doing is a knock
down argument In favor OF the Democrats
low water and precarious navigation. with most
excellent boats and barges and taking away
and Alexandria have been cleaned out. and two
boats a week will be- on hand to keep them free
and easy, 1t would be very well for all to, re-
boats are already HEARD but they will only
come whom there is plenty Of water and their
own trade is unopened. They come for the
real racket is at hand. The Pool Line are here
all the time. In all sorts Of times. and are of US
and with us through good and evil.
