THE MONEY POWER AT WORK.
Union Nnzaita.1


Tho course TINT the bOndholdcrs would
take In regard to the State debt has hitherto
been involved In uncertainty. but ut length
their designs have been promulgated, and
that, too. by q distinguished and able lawyer,
who would not give utterance TO views and
opinions which no did not intend to put into
practical form.
The Hon. Thos. J. Semmes, who is the regu-
lar senatorial candidate for the convention
from the third ward, New Orleans, In mn In
trrvew with q representative OF the DEMO
Graf laid down u platform" which is mimi

denotes and designed to subject the people
the wOrtingmcn and the Taxpayers the
bondholders, and the money power AS Mr..
Semmes IL the exponent OF the moneyed rings,
anything that he says indicates the plans
that are preparing for the convention.
lie declares that IF the convention shall
undertake. To repeal or modify the live and u
half mills interest tax the United States
Courts can and will undoubtedly enforce It's
collections" This doctrine, II established and
carried out, destroys completely the sover
eighty of the States and makes the people
the working men nothing more or less than
slaves, subject TO u mOneyed O,igarchy who
can and will Cypress them, just 30 long as
they tamely submit to their encroachments.
The people should rise In their might and
put the seal Of condemnation on all such doc
trines. They are the scheming devices Of
paid lawyers who have no regard for the
rights of the masses and are looking TO the
loaves and fishes without any regard for the
welfare OF tho people, or the good OF the
country. So far as the post bcllum debt Is
concerned the citizens Of Louisiana that Is,
the taxpayer and property holder had no
hand In it, creation, ana II ever reputation
WIS justified the good people of this State
would be Justified In so doing. Delegates to
the convention from the country may rest
assured that there will be an immense amount
OF legal tricking brought to bear upon this
Important question and they should go pre-
pared to fight IT down, and by 50 doing they
will win for themselves much credit and
honor among the people-the legitimate
voters OF the State.
We direct the attention OF the public to the

him by parties using this disincrustant, and ex-

remove all scales or crusts formed on boilers
We were shown scales that were quite an inch

This disincrustant not only removes all that
