1t is saddening thought to republic

It is saddening thought to republic
cans that Copiah County furnishes
about as bad and as outrageous state
of affairs as could we'll be depicted, and
yet that all this is to go to waste and
bear no political capital.
There are two or three valuable
reflections for fair minded people. The
state of affairs disclosed is bad enough,
but it appears even from the partisan
effort at investigation that it is confin-
ed to comparatively few. In the tes-
tinony appear the two rascally ell
ements, the upper and the under dog,
one as bad as the other, and the great
mass of the people who have not had
the courage To protest or to take mat
tiers into their own hands. All this is
to be ignored by partisan inquiry,
made at New Orleans instead of on the
spot. when it might just as we'll have
been made in Washington City. The
effort is to sustain the fnlse view put
out by bloody shirt organs, that it is
a case of ravening wolf and gentle
martyrlike lamb. Fortunately the
public has reached point where it
will be seen calmly as it is, horrible
and disgraceful state of affairs, IN
which two local spoils hunting factions
contend with murder and fire for the
mastery. The Matthews gang of
knaves started out with high hopes
and encountered q gang no worse, but
stronger. Public opinion and the
execration of the civilized world viii
help the people to remedy, but
beyond that there is none. 1t is for
them to cure it or to rot in it, and they
will not rot in it.

Usury getting without earning
seems to be the very best paying bust
ness in the country. Verify it would
seem as though governments were iD-
stituted among men to regulate and
guard robbery, and not to suppress it.
Fellow workingmen, had We not bet
ter strike at the cause of usury?
It will be interesting to our protec-
tionists to know, too, that out of elev-
en- hundred and ninety steamers car

Our Trade.

It is the desire of every individual tc
know, at the end of the year, whether
he made or lost by his transactions
and how much the gain or loss
amounts to; so il should be interesting
to us, as nation, to know how we
stand with respect to our dealing with
other nations.
have received the report of the sta
tistician, Joseph Nimmo, to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, on commerce and
navigation, and there are to be found
many items of great inteest among its
masses of dry figures.
It seems that the outcome of trade,
amounting in the aggregate to S1,547,-
O2O, 316, we cleared, as people, $780,
65S, 4sS; but what is most instructive is
to know out of whom we made this
vast sum, or, in other words, who were
our profitable as well as improbable
customers. From diagram and COM
parative sta tement, 1t seems that with
England and her dependencies, we had
more trade than with all the rest OF
the world put together; and i'm our
commerce with the United Kingdom,
that is, England, Scotland, Wales and
Ireland, we were the gamers by $3.50,
sol $50; but i'm dealing with her colo
mics we lost so much as to reduce our
gain to 1928 $50 ,016; and then in our
dealings with all the rest of the world,
we lost Sl22, 927 ,52S. Cuba was our
worst customer, for we losto her $40,
44O, 1871: while France comes next with
a loss, to us. of $50, 3O6 ,941. Of course
this report does not exhibit the amount
spent by Americans travelling in Eu-
rope, or residing there upon mears
gathered here, which would be very
large item and nearly against US. But
the report, as it stands, shows that we
most abuse, and our high tariffites cry
loudest for protection, against the very
country out of whom we make the most
money; and We may reasonably ex-
pect that the British merchants will
seek to avoid such losses by trading
elsewhere, and developing the un-
bounded resources of their own vast
empire.
OF course, few of your readers will
feel any richer for this vast sum which
