Monopolies.

Webster defines "Monopoly"-"the
yer or permission to deal; ex-
Q command or possession, &c."
va. Of late years every species of bu-
siness where competition does not ex
list, is denounced as a monopoly"
The New Orleans and Red River
Transportation Company comes in for
a share of this TRADE, when the fact
is, that Company can no more be
classed as a monopoly, per Sc, and in
the sense indicated by those who so
vigorously assail it, than Bob Browns
only cross road store in country
neighborhood can be denounced as
such.
If this Transportation Company
had monopoly Of Red River" then
no other Boats than those of their
line would be permitted to come ,cith.
IN its raters. Such, however, is not
the case, for the monopoly attained
by Captain Aiken and his Company
is one of which they should be proud.
1t has been gained by the strictest
attention to the wants of the people,
whom it has supplied with boats at
regular times, while freight charges in
comparison with the old days of
steamboat sloshing up and down the
river is much lower. The business
attention of this Company has at
tracted friends and warm supporters
to its help aud sustinance. System is
the first requisite in business and that
is reduced to perfection by the able
President Of this Company.
Now let us see what this Company
has done for Red River beyond the
mere transportation of freight. We
speak now from personal knowledge.
Capt. Aiken has been the most per-
sistant friend our valley has ever had
in securing appropriations to improve
the navigation of Red River. He has
made, last winter and spring, not
less than two visits to Washington,
where he remained and worked for
weeks at each time to secure appro.
priations for the Mouth, the Falls :;
for Tones Bayou, for the Raft, and to
remove snaggs and distractions, and
to jetty the bars in low. water, there
by insuring high rater freight tariffs
the gear round.
Will those who ignorantly attack
the "Pool Line" be kind enough to
name a single .Independent" steam
boatman who has ever done any
thing for Red River, save to run a
steamboat for accommodation (!) and
receive bis pay for it.? Captain Al
ken is not supposed to do all this
for love to US, pure and simple; but,
he has business relations with US
which demand and receive all his
thought and energies, and his doing
it assists him while it greatly bene-
fits US. "High freights 10 low wa.
teri is the standing demand Of all
these croakers, who yell like blazes
for All ''independent boat" and still
not steamboatman, before Captain
Aikeus' Company was organized, ever
made an effort to secure us the boon
Of high water freight at all seasons,
and Captain aiken has !!
We make this defense in justice to
Captain Aiken, and we are assured it
meets the hearty approval Of the mass
of our business men and shippers,

How They Did It.

In June, 1877, the democratic Po-
lice Jury took charge of this parish
and for the first time were able to ar
rive at a correct statement of the 10
debtedness of the parish incurred by
the radical party since 1868.
They found, according to the pub
lishcd report of Mr.. A. E. Lemee,
parish Treasurer, the following jndg-
meDts and floating debt, which these
thieves and scoundrels have left us as
sweet legacy:
Balance due on judgments $64 1881
Interest on same to 1st Dec.
