Louisiana says: Little by little the
Republican press of the country has
got its eyes open on the subject, and it
now sees the enormity of the scheme
for making party capital for the De-
Inocracy by sending Republican Off

convict labor. Very good, so far
as convict labor is concerned, but

have one Of the best natural harbors
in the United States, and that there
is shipped from the port Of Pascal

of lumber per annum. If we bad a
railroad running through the state

build up a large foreign trade and
have a large seaport city on her
own soil through which she could
transact her business without pay
