legislation on the question Of tariff
taxation disproves the theory Of
many honestly misled sugar produ-
GERS that their interests would be
assaulted by Democratic admins
tration. Their interests have, on
the contrary, been in constant dan
GER since the close of the war from
hostile Legislation at the hands of
the Republican party in Congress.
That party has attempted repeat
eddy, of late years, when obstructed
by a Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives from removing the duty
on sugar, to- admit sugar free by
commercial treaties with sugar pro-
ducing countries. Every intelli-
gent sugar planter in Louisiana
knaws or should know this to be
the fact.
A high protective tariff, as a gen
eral principle, has been popular
with the Republican party at tile
North, mainly with the view of fos-
tering Eastern mandatory. That
section Of the country not being ag-
ricultural the only open field for
capital lay in the manufacture Of
raw material. The tariff laws,
therefore, as applied to those Eas-
tern princes for many years, were
local laws, while their operation
and effect upon the, mass of'consu-
mers were merciless and oppressive.
Hence, the theory that the Repnb-
|
liean party is, per sey the only ia
riff party. Our worthy sugar I Ian
tiers in Rapides who are hankering
for Republican protection for pre-
tection's sake shouldpause for con-
sistency's sake, and reflect upon the
consequences Of course that
seems from every intelligent stand
point. suicidal in the extreme. To
help the Republican party. morally
or actively, to recover control of
Louisiana, or retain control of the
National Government, would be
worse than warming viper in
ones bosom. Those who are ia
miliar with the corrupt practices,
oppressive policy and reckless ex
trayagance and mismanagement of
the National Government under
Republican rule for the last quar-
ter Of a century, should not hastily
place a, mistaken view of their pri-
vate interest in the scale and weigh
it against a sense Of public duty
While they. are. entitled to the
claim of honest conviction as to
fostering their private interests in
aligning themselves with the Re-
publican party in Louisiana, they
should ask themselves whether the
Republican party has ever been
true to aay Of its public promises.
They have habitually promised the
people an honest and economical
administration of the government,
while the most unparalleled cor
ruption and thievery and extrava-
gance have been the common rule.
They have promised, for years, to
purify tie public service by placing
competent, honest men in office,

Editor Age-Deor SU:-About l
O'Clock last Sunday morning George
M. Rood was called up to help get a
buggy out of the deep gulf between his
house and Monroe Perkins, the horse
having been taken out previously. The
man with the buggy | think was a
man that keeps livery stable at the
green. He told Rood he had been to
carry man to Perkins, and having
turned round in the road and started
for home run down into the gulf. The
buggy was badly damaged, it being
top buggy. Who the man was that
was carried to Perkins no one can find
out, as the Perkinses refuse to say
anything about it-they probably have
been well paid to keep mum. A man
going up ihe other road about 8 o'clock
Saturday night, says the team was in
the gulf at that time. The affair makes
considerable talk, and there are many
suspicious in regard to it. Some think
the man was carried there to be secret
ed for some cause or other, others
think the men were so drunk they did
Mt know anything, and that would ac-
count for the buggy being in the gulf
some five hours. After the buggy was
got up to the house Mr.. Perkins took
his team and hitched his buggy on
and took one or both of the men back
to the Green. During all this rumpus
the strange man was kept out of sight.
| would advise Perkins to tell what he
knows about it before he gets the repu-
tation of secretng wrong doors. -"

IN MEMORIAM.
Can it lie that We are childlessi
Is the one VIC loved so dear
Gone out from our humble dwelling,
Never more to meet Us here?
And the smile that often checred us.
As the cares Of life Cypress ed,
We shall never more behold it
Till We meet among the hcst
she was AL we had to cherish
What our hopes were we'll not tell,
BY her death these all are blightel,
Bat "IIe doeth all things Well"
Now alone amid the surges
We must walk lfe's dreary way,
Both our children gone before us,
To that bright eternal day.
Other hearts are sad and loGely.
Other eyes are dim with tears,
For Albina's friends were many,
All along her twenty years.
And there's one among the number
Sadder than the rest can be,
For his earthly hopes are blighted
by deaths cruel stern decree.
How we prayed that death would spare her
TIL Oar earthly race was run,
For our hopes in her were CO lterel,
When we laid away our son.
But they side by side now sumber-
Brother. sister--while we wait,'
Hoping now ere long to greet them
Just inside the Golden Gate.
Not room in our sad dwelling
But some token of her care.
Pointing as with silent fingers
Upward to thJse mansions fair.
Ever true and always faithful,
As a watcher truly sal l.
Not a murmur did escape her,
Even on her dying bed.
I'VE, shS Sohet Jul only uduSnler'
Gone from labor, care and pain,
Leaving us TO weep in SORROW
Never meet her here again.
Saviour, hasten that glad morning,
When, amid the ransomed throng,
We shal! meet our darling children,
Sing with them the oonquerors song.
