In the irresponsible coatlict between
capital and labor, care must be taken TO
avoid a conflict with the honest element
of finance, as represented by those capt.
talists who embark their capital in leglt-
innate business and useful enterprises,
and who are always necessary and deslr-
able in all civilized and progressive COM
munitles.
AS many of this class of capitalists
have been victimized and laid on the
shelf in company with every other class
OF citizens who pursue an honest aVoca-
ton for living) by the dishonest elc,-
ment in finance, composed OF stock
gamblers and juni1-shop capitalists, 1t Is
clearly to the interest Of all parties en-
| gagged in q legitimate business to unite
| their forces against this dishonest ele-
ment. y,
It is one of the scarc-crow yclls sent
m by this bad element in finance when
they are attacked, that ali capitalists are
in danger and this cutlery is set up Tor
the purpose of enlisting the sympathy Oh
| legitimate capitalists IN scnelhe VI
plundcr. to get their assistance IN carry
ing ont the financial system OF plunSslhS
the whole country in debt by means Oh M
tcrest-bearing bonds, where every bond
rrnresents link in the chain that binds
the DcoDle to the chariots of their con-
oncrors. who compose the grand army
Of dead heats on the public treasury.
Now, as the labor capitalists and leglt-
imote CAPITALISTS of the country are IN
noSscssjon of the real capital, what IS TO
nrevent them from coming to some rea-
sonable understanding in regard to the
nrotitable use of their combined capital,
and leaving the stock, gamblers ana
Junk shop men out OF the Management
of the affairs of the country, which they
. have, unfortunately, been alloWea re
: take entire charge or through men
, pimps and tools, the tradihS poiIlcians.
. The great and pressing trouble now
is. that nearly all the money in the
conntry is being rapidly absorbed by
: the bondholders. leaving little or none
in the hands Of the private capitalist &c

WHAT ARE 9oU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT

~
ITEM 1,-~Economise on your tax bills.
The extravagant use Of money, as dis
nlayed by the people of Louisiana, III
the matter of souandering thel il means
on high priced tax bills, is enough to
ruin and bnggar any state i'll the Union.
What are you going to do about 1t?
ITEM 2.-The stock gamblers and
junk-shop capitalists, uniting thclTT
forces with the ward-bummers and
uliuude Joes, have shaken their chastee
hands over the taxpayers, and ordered
them to Day their taxes like good, cltl-
zeno, end let politics alone; and the
tox-1,avels naEe meekly submitted to
their diction. Ine natural result of
this submission, is to rrostrate ait TIP
industrial and landed interests or Tue
state at the feet OF this infamous cabal.
What are you going to do about it?
ITEM 3.-As long as public officials are
allowed to betray their public trusts,
and sell their country in wholesale and
retail lots to suit purchasers, with
out fear OF the penitentiary, they will
keep on betraying and selling, no matter
what p;ratical party flag they sail under.
What are you going to do about it!
ITEM 4.-Public credit has killed and
devoured private credit. This is only
one proof, out of many that could be
citea, to show tile weak spot in the
public mind, which cannot get hold OF a
GOOD idea without pushing it to the
extreme limit, until it reaches the burst
ing point. The public debt operates as
first lien and mortgage on al ahe
!! nroperty in the state affected by it, and
takes precedence OF all private liens on
the same property. The public credl-
toi, village claims are .'ased on an uh,
limited amoAnt of flauduleGtiy issued
interest bearing bonds, has drained the
resources of the taxpayers, II nlftI they
have nothing left to pay the privlaffaa
creditor. Anaunlimited pubic debt mas
an answering tendency to concentrate
I all the money and all tie property 10
| the hands OF the Few, and reduce the
small landowners to the condition o.
"the finest pisantry IN the Worrnid.
What are you going to 90 about 1ts
! ITEM 5-A communist government
is a government that steals the property
of its citizens under pretence OF pro-
tecting it. That is the sort OF govern,
ment we have been living under fol
more than ten years. Louisiana has
| the honor of being the last state in the
! Souti, to redeem herself from the shack
les of the carpet baggers and scala:
ways: she also can boast Of having tht
highest tax rate of any state in thu
union, with no great public works tt
show for the money, or prospect OF any

State Assessments.


We are in receipt of the auditors an
nual statement, closing the year 1878.
There is much in it that will interest
the people but, We have only time and
space, for the monlenb, to notice what 1t
has to say in relation to the assessments
of the values of taxable property i'll the
State. Comparing this assessment roI
with thai OF the previous year we find,
first, that country parishes have further
reduced the total of their assessment
nearly sc, 900, or from $4,000, 900 fol
the year 1877, to about $55,000,O00 fol
the year 1873, so that the assessment
now stands for the city 500, 900, and

We saw two women. One of them
was syeeping off the front stoop, with
no covering on her head. It was very
cold day. An acquaintance passing by,
fashionably dressed, said to the woman
on the stoop: Il shouldn't think you'd
dare tobe out doors with nothing on your
