" means a bold, vigorous and I'm
swerving warfare upon all special
privileges, and the equality before
the law, with an equal guarantee to
the protection Of their rights, of all
men, whether laborers or capitalists.
Capital can and has protected itself,
and this cry of protection to capital
means simply oppression to labor by
forms Of law. Anti-monopoly does
not produce panics; it makes pros.
perity general. It does not make
war; it renders peace possible. It
steals from no man, it leaves every

1t would be much better for the
country at large, if every man, wo-
man and child capable of work
would seek employment in some
field of honest labor. tbs not cred
liable to our society to say it, but it
is nevertheless true that we have too
many people in every part of the
country who are living on the labor
of others. 1t is the trouble with all
sections of the country, with all
races, colors and conditions. While
a large part of our population are
workers and producers there is still
a large minority-too largo for the
good of the country-which consists
of loungers and consumers. The
following plain and earnest words
on this subject we copy from an Ar.
kansas paper:
"Wo are longing for the time when
our county will not be cursed with
loafing, idle, lazy, worthless loung-
ers. 1t is criminal to indulge in
idleness, and we want all the good
men and all the good women of our
town to set their faces against every
species of this vice. 1t is high time
that every one should he usefully
employed. We don't mean that
everybody should plow or drive the
jack plane, though there is a vast
unoccupied field in that direction
that might be proftably filled. But
we want everyone at work in some
useful line either with muscle or
brains.
"Let US organize a public opinion
upon this important matter, that
will drive idleness and vice from our
midst and make us what We may be,
a happy and contented people,"

The Tariff Commission.

Chicago Times
1t is easy enough to tell in advance
what will be the general result of the
labors of commission composed of
such men. There will be revision,
of course, but it will, from first to
last, be revision in the interest of
pet industries and manufacturing
monopolists. The interests of con-
sumers will not be consulted at all.
There will be no attempt to find out
anything about the effect of the pro-
tective system upon the general well
fare.
No sound economic principles will
be admitted as the basis either of in
vestigation or action. The wants of
licensed spectators will be most re-
spectfully considered, while the great
mass of people upon whom spoilation
is practiced will probably have no
hearing at all, and if they have
hearing it will do them no good. The
commission will conclude it's labors
by reporting worse pirates tariff
than we now have, together with as
plausible a plea as its members are
capable Of making for the spoilation
system.

Congressional.

Hon. N. G. Blanchard, as every
one expected, was unanimously re.
nominated on the first ballot by the
Alexandria convention last Monday
as the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress from this District.
The nomination is a strong one,
and the convention displayed great
wisdom in selecting him as the stand
ard bearer, and this too, without
dissenting voice. He is a fine law
yer, an impressive speaker, a popu-
lar man, and there are no flaws in
his record. He is made of the right
kind of material and he will not be
repudiated by the people. We pre-.
dict that every parish in the Dis
trict will give Mr.. Blanchard a very
large majority at tho election to be
held IN November next. The De-
mocracy enters the contest with a
certainty of success, feeling as they
do, that they have a leader who can
arouse the Democracy and make
the voters feel an interest in goiug
to the polls.
Mr.. Blanchard is pre- eminently
the man for the place and wherever
he has a hearing he will make the
people see and feel this. Although
perhaps not necessary, as our nomi-
nee will practically have no opposi-
ton, we suppose he will make
thorough canvass of the District.
