Bald Mountain states that yesterday q
sudden and fearful crash was heard for
miles, and caused the frightened inhsbi-

scenes Of four or FIVE years sgo, when
Bald Mountain was seriously threatened
with volcanic eruptions. Investigation
of the distu bsnce Of yesterday developed
the fact that large portion of this peak
had suddenly disappeared in the fertile
and beautiful valley below. A slice OF
half mile square melted away.

The Tarif.

y tariff is IA tay imposed by Con
gross OH the importation of foreign
goods into this country, and when so
adjusted rs to bear lightly upon the
people and to produce revenue and
place it in the Treasury, it becomes
proper and legitimate exercise of
power. No party believes in abso-
Lutte free trade. But the Democratic
party believe that the tariff should
be levied to raise all the revenue
necessary for the government and no
more. On the other hand, the Re-
publican party believes that the tar
lit should be so levied as to protect
individuals, and to give them a mo,
nopoIy Of the manufactured goods,
and to exclude all foreign compcti,
tiOn-compelling the people to pay
three times as much for wearing ap.
parel to protect them from the cold;
three times as much for farming i'm.
PIGMENTS, tools of mechanics, nipple.
ments Of industry aud every other
article used by the community, as it
is worth. This tariff has oppressed
aud crushed the people for twenty
years, and tbs tariff should be revis.
ed and reduced. The people have
been compelled to pay bounties to
the Eastern manufacturers long
enough. This infamous aud crush.
ing taxation is maintained under the
false pretense that it is necessary to
protect American labor against the
effects Of the pauper labor OF Europe.
The Eastern manufacturer pays no
more for labor than is paid in Eu.
rope, and the half fed laborers in the.
East are compelled to organize to
compel the manufacturer to pay
them living wages. The laborer re.
ceives no part of the great profits
made by the manufacturer, and
there should be some protection Civ.
en- to the laborer against these vast
monopOlies that seek to starve and
crush him. Monopoly should cease,
aud the mass of tho people should
be protected against them instead
of creating protective tariff to Sc
cure monopoly and crush the people.

An illustration Of the rapid
strides by the Republican party TO-.
wards Capitalization may be found
in the history Of the contested cleo.
ton cases in the last Congress. The
Republican party is not content to
leave the people of the respective
Congressional districts and the local
Courts to pass upon their local af.
fairs, but substitute therefor a party
caucus conducted in secret Star
Chamber style at Washington. The
dictatorial and imperial policy of
depriving the people Of their lawful
rights of representation is one of
the blacklist spots upon the record
OF the recent Congress. When it
became known that majority of
members elected to Congress belong.
cd to the Republican party, there
was great rejoicing among many
candidates of that political faith
who had been defeated at the polls,
and they began to contest the seats
Of Democrats duly elected and held
certificate of election, and the Re.
publican party to render it's control
of Congress overwhelming began
and carried out tho corrupt and in.
famous job of putting Democrats
out of Congress and putting Repub-
licans, who are not elected, in their
place. The orders of caucus were
strictly followed and the cases dis.
posed Of with the greatest celebrity.
The despotic action of this Congress
in DISTINGUISHING thepeople in many
Congressional districts and admit
ting men who were Overwhelmingly
defeated, into Congress, is crime
against free government, blow at
public liberty, a step towards des-
potism and the divine right of the
despot and the king to rule, and
every citizen, regardless of party.
ought to rise up and condemn this
encroachment upon the right of rep.
resentation and free government
The Republican party has no conf
dence in the people and by outrage
seek to hold the power that the PEG.
pie does not confer on them. The
people will have little of free govern.
ment left if they do not protest
against its despotism and hurl it
from its corrupt and despotic throne.

The States that have already
elected members of Congresslare
represented at present by 9 Demo.
Gratis, q Republicans and 2 Green

The Democratic party looks to the
interests of the great mass of the PEG.

expense and through the beggary of
the common people.

Grand Jury Report.

49, "'" ~~' 'Spost'
TO the Hon. Il. G. Drer, Judge End
Judicial District Court jon Bossier
Parish, La:
We, the Grand Jury respectfully
report that we have investigated
such cases as come before our body,
and made such findings as seemed
proper. We have passed upon TWEEN
ty-nine cases, of which we ignored
eight and presented twenty one bills.
The bridges and roads throughout
the parish are reported in very bad
condition. We would call the Pc.
lice Jury's especial attention to the
bridges across the followingstreams:
Fox Skin bayou, on the road lead.
ing from Gregg's Landing Cake Bis
teneau) to Isaac Patterson's-said
bridge being in very bad condition,
rendering it very dangerous to the
travelling public. We call your at
tention, furthermore, to necessity of
repairing the bridge across Clark's
bayou, the same being in very bad
order, and overseer reports that
lumber cannot he had to make nee
essary repairs. We also call most
especial attention to the necessity of
bridging Red Chute and Flat River,
on the road leading direct from
Bellevue to Red River; if bridges
cannot be had, We suggest that the
ferriages be licensed and leased &C
cOrding to law. The road leading
from Benton to Shreveport is report
ed all but impossible, and hope that
due examination will be made, and
if as reported, the respective over
seers will be dealt with as the law
directs.
We have examined the respective
offices of our Court House, and make
the following report:
The Clerks office duly examined
and found in A l order-the efficient
and courteous Clerk, Mr.. A. r.
Thompson, being thoroughly ac-
quainted with his duties, and for
the courteous manner in which he
has treated this Jury, we tender our
thanks.
Sheriff's Office being duly examin-
ed and found in good order. Maj.
Wyche certainly deserves great
credit for the manner in which his
business is done, perfectly willing
and anxious that his books should
be examined and all other business
relative to the parish. Major, you
will accept the thanks of this body
for kindess shown.
The JAIL.-We examined two of
the cells, and found them to be in
good repair. The others were not
examined, owing to most awful
stencil arising from the cell of which
a woman is sole occupant. After
examining the condition of the wo- |
man incarcerated, we Judge her to !
be crazy, and suggest that action |
be made in regard to her speedy re.
moval, as she is now troublesome to |
Major Wyche.
And now, having discharged all |
duties intumbent upon us, we re-
specially ask to be discharged.

Oppressive Taxation.


The total revenues of the govern.
ment during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1881, were stated in the
Presidents message of December 6,
1881: Total receipts, $500, 49,, 1926;
total ordinary expenditures, $780,.
liz, 1897 so, leaving surplus of reve-
nue. of 500, O69, 4O4.9S. About three
fifths of the amount for the support
Of the government comes from the
duties Oh imported commodities and
two-fifths from internal revenue
taxes. The latter was almost wholly
raised from luxuries, spirits, fer
mented liquors and tobacco, paying
more than nine tenths of the internal
taxes. But in the taxes imposed
upon imported commodities the rule
is reversed, and the largest amount
of revenue is derived not from luxu.
ries, but from articles classed among
the necessaries of life. There are over
$50, OOO, 900 of revenue derived from
commodities in universal use, and
the revenue derived from articles of
luxury from the tariff was over S29,.
or, 28S. Excessive taxation when it
is successful in securing excessive
revenues is destructive of the sources
of labor from which it is drawn,
while at the same time it engenders
extravaganza, corruption and decay.
When the government sets the exam.
pie Of extravaganza, it is followed in
every walk of life and general ruin
must inevitably result. Frugality
and economy nevery destroyed any
government. The existing overflow
ing Treasury brings a demand for
reduction of the tariff and internal
revenue taxes. Reduction of taxation
should at once begin. Unnecessary
taxation is injurious to the interests
Of the people. Government has no
justification for the collection of
taxes in excess of the sum requisite
for the support of its proper admin
istration. The excess of our resources
has induced the presentation of
every conceivable scheme to rob and
deplete the Treasury. Economy in
public expenditures is our cardinal
principle. Decrease of tax is anoth.
or. 1t would diminish jobs and
plumber of patronage. The internal
revenue system is a fearful nest from
which public patronage matches the
instruments for controlling elections
in the States. Corruption is always
produced by extravaganza and it
should be checked by return to a
strictly revenue system. The Re-
publican Secretary Of State in his
last report said: ''In some quarters
there is already talk of an overflow.
ing Treasury, and projects are put
forth for lavish expenditures, not
only for the furtherance of public
works of doubtful legitimacy and
expedicncy, bat in aid of enterprises
no more than quasi public in char.
acter."
