sIn:-The real living Issue in this cam
paign is tho tariff. Shall 1t be protection
or shall 1t be for revenue ?
The Morrison tariff bill introduced III
the last Congress was for revenue. One
hundred and iifty-one Democrats voted
for the bill and ono hundred ind fifteen
Republicans voted against II. Forty.onc
Democrats voted against tho bill and two
Republicans for It. Comments arc I'm.
necessary. The Democratic platform tries
to dodge tho issue In order to get the purity
in power md force this Morrison tariff bilI
on the country. This Morrison tariff bill
puts coal on the free list and is the first
bold and distinct effort made since the
war to substitute revenue tariff for pro.
tectivc tariff. When tho taritr question.
years ago, was first made IN issue, Madi.
son and Hamilton both favored pro,ec.
tive tariir. When it again became an
issue Webster favored q revenue tariff,
Calhoun protective tariff. Afterwards
both Webster and Calhoun changed their
opinion, Webster becoming protectionist,
Calhoun Tree trader. So We see that OF
these four men, admitted the greatest
statesmen America has produced. three
were for protection and one, Mr.. Calhoun,
for free trade, or rather a revenue tarjty!
Mr.. Clay became tho leading advocate OF
protection. i@ ag g .rfs
Tho tariff question involves no constitu.
tional, no moral question. 1t is simply al
economic luestion-dollars and cents, and
nothing more. Tho agricultural States.
before the war, favored n revenue tariff.
particularly the cotton States, for thew
had little or no focal manufacturing Since
the war everything has changed. 1t is
found that coal, iron in all its manu-.
featured forms, and cotton as we'll as
WOODEN goods can he produced and manu-
factured in tho States travcrsed by the
Alleghanies and Blue Ridge cheaper than
elsewhere, and so Of many manufactures
in the vast interior. Hence it manitcstly
becomes the interest OF those States to
support the protective policy. 1t is man
iiest that had Virginia, for example, man
uiactured her own cotton and WOODEN
goods and the iron needed by her for
twenty years before the war, she would
have been quite equal to Pennsylvania in
wealth, power and population. Under
protective tariff for twenty years 10 conc
Virginia and West Virginia will be two
wealthy and powerful States, traverscd
by railroads in every direction. il not one
great Commonwealth. The same NAV be
said for all the Southern States traversed
by these great mountain ranges. For
these States, under 4 protective tariff, will
not only supply their own people with
manufactures, but they will supply the
people OF other States extensively. They
are doing so now. More capital has been
invested in mining and manufacturing in
these States in very few years past, than
for the whole time before the war, and
never in the history OF the world has
mining and manufacturing grown so
rapidly anywhere as in these States.

:
We OF the the South and West, farmers
all, had just grounds to to complain Of a
protective tariff, because it made the North
rich, We not then having local interest in
manufacturing. But as It has turned out
that very capital accumulated in the Nortl,
from this protective tariff is now and has
been since the war, building our railroads,
factories, machine shops, &c, opening our
coal banks and is seeking further and
rapid investment among US. s Is sgT.l
But for the protective tariff that capital
would have accumulated in Europe and
we not have it here for those purposes.
Tho whole theory Of the economic value
Of a protective tariff is that it keeps our
money in our own country and we have il
here for our own uses, and the promotion
OF our own industries, and this is what is
now going on, particularly in the South.

and In the city. The details appear to
be that the paymaster started from
Glendlve for Fort Buford with an escort
OF three members of the Second cavalry
from Fort Keogh, and his clerk. Mr..
Such. They had the safe or treasure
box with them and were on the way to
pay OIL the troops. Between Glendive

charge OF the escort, was killed and
two soldiers wounded. The mules at
tached to the paymaster's ambulance
ran away and carried Major Whipple,
with his clerk and treasure, to q ranch
on the river. Major Whipple sent a
courier to Buford and a company was
sent out to hunt the robbers. Sergeant
Coonrod served through the wal and
atterward In the Seventh cavalry under
Custer IN the Indian Territory. Then
he went into company G, Fifth infantry.
OF which he became first sergeant. He
was IN the charge made at Wolf Noun
tain under Miles, in the battle with
Crazy Horse and was rewarded with a
medal of honor for his brave conduct
IN that engagement. Later he re-
enlisted in the Seventh cavalry and
was Il sergeant in Captain Bills COM

family is in Miles City. His death is
greatly regretted both here and at
Fort Keogh where he has been located.

Geo. W. Whitley, representing the

under the weather, but we are pleased
to learn is convalescent. Mr.. Kenneth
intended to take charge of Stewart,
Kohrs & Co.'S roundup, in which COM
pany he is interested, but has been
unable to do so up to date. We trust
ere he sees this he will be around, hale
and hearty as ever.
Jacob Peterson, road supervisor Of
this district, is doing the best of work
on county roads running into Maiden.
Especially between Andersonville and
this town, the improvement reflects
great credit upon the supervisor.
If Mr.. Peterson will direct u little of
his energy towards making passable,
and at the same time presentable, the
road at the crossing of the creek near
the Star Drug Store, he will be entitled
to the thanks of the entire community.
Let the good work go on.
Eggs in the Helena market are now
worth 30 and 80 cents per dozen, the
latter price being for Montana eggs
and the latter for those brought from
the States.-Independent. How we
would like to be in Helena for about
one week. What a panic there would
be in the egg market. In Maiden, a
fellow has to have an income Of about
$1,000 Il year before he has confidence
enough to ask the price Of a dozen Of
eggs, say nothing about making Il pur-
chase. This is not eggs-agerated a bit.
Seventy-five cents would start II hen
merry with four "roosters" in the States.
Hens become roosters after sundown.)
At Il time last winter eggs were as
high as the Collar fume, and probably
just rs hard.

REPRESENTATIVE HUNTER, Of Ra-
pides, certainly deserves the praise Of
the newspaperfraternity for his efforts
on behalf Of the Press Of Louisiana.
He has given notice that he would in
troduce the following bill relative 10
Judicial advertisements, which we
hope may become a law: "To fix
the rate and regulate the cost of judi
eial advertisements, succession notices,
etc; to require parties ordering same
10 give security satisfactory to the
printer for the cost of same, in adj
vance Of the publication, and making
sberiffs, administrators, syndies, etc,
personally liable for failure 10 demand
such security; to make the payment
for Judicial advertisements, due prior
10 the expiration Of the time fixed for
sales, appointment of administrators,
syndies, etc, and authorize the pnb-
fishers of newspapers to discontinue
said advertisements if the costs of
same are not paid prior to the time
fixed for sales, appointments, etc.,
making the costs of same a part of the
sheriff's and clerks costs, to be SO
taxed when not paid in advance, and
to repeal all laws or parts Of laws in
conflict with this act"

EDGERLY, La, June 2, 1884.
To the Lake Charles Echo:
Some time having elapsed since We
have troubled ypn with acommnniea.
stion from Edgerly, we have decided
to try your patience again. Edgetly
proper, although laboring under many
hardships, still has a large heart and =
strong pulse. The rainfall has been
excessive, and the crops are certainly
damaged materially, and yet those OF
onr farmers within the radius of our
perambnlations are certainly to be
congratulated upon the evidences of
that courage and energy peculiarly
characteristic of themselves.
The rolling stock for the Edgerly
and Sabine narrow gauge railroad
owned and controlled by the enter
prising firm of Hampton, Miller d Co.,
has been received, and is running
night and day, hauling logs.
This place, for some time, has been
clad in the habiliments of mourning
over the sad fact that one of our old
est citizens, Mr.. John MeGlelland, WAS
drowned in Bayou OhOnpique, the
22nd of May. His lifeless and mu-
tilated body was taken up four days
afterward.
Stock is fat, bnt no shipments at
present, in consequence of high water.
The alligator is falling the victim to
the ayarieiOus and speculative pro-
pensities of great many citizens here.

10 The Lake Charles Eeho
Il hiss been some time since your
correspondent has attempted to indict
any matter for yonr valuable paper,
but want Of mail communication for
a time disarranged al our calculations.
For several months past the mail has
been as uncertain as the weather, and
we have been made to suffer not only
Inconvenience bat loss by having
mail containing important business
detained at the Lake for months.
Bnt, hold on there is presiden-
tial election TO take place ere long,
and we hope to see a change in the
administration of public affairs. Suffice
Il to say cur mail facilities have been
restored and are now in a very salts
factory condition. Mr.. Dees, who has
the contract, appears to be determined
to fulfill his part of the contract. He
made his last trip through waters that
nearly swan his horses and arrived in
Sugartown on time, when no one here
expected he would come atall. He de-
serves credit for his energy and perse-
versnce, and we trust he may con-
Time 10 be as prompt.
The farmers of this section are
nearly drowned out. For ten con-
secutive days, from the 18th to the
27th inst, II not only rained, but
poured, and on Monday, the 26th,
there fell the heaviest rain of the sea
son. It came down like the bottom
had fallen ont, flooding everything and
putting the creeks ont all over the
swamps, rendering them nearly i'm
passable for several days.
We are now having good weather,
but crops are in q very sorry eondi
ton. Corn looks tolerably well, but
cotton has died ont SO badly that
many have plowed it mp and planted
late corn. The prospect for good
crops looks now very dubious, but
what favorable weather may do for ms
remains to be seen. Farmers are very
much behind with their work and the
season is nearly month later than
usual. Health of the country, gener-
ally good a few cases of measles, but
not prevalent. TAeITus.

The honso committee On State
Geology, is composed 81 he following
gentlemen: Mr.. Waddell, chairman.
Leslie, S. T. Henry, Of Cameron, S. o.
shattuclI, Of calcasieu, and AIr. Gas
sidy. We calI.this an important com
nittee, beeanse we know that its an-
lies are onerous and capable Of doing
inestimable good to the whole State,
BY hunting up and placing before the
world the now hidden mineral re-
sources ofLonisiana. There are min
erals Of untold value within our reAch,
and search for them has been too
long neglected. Accidentally recently,
the discovery Of an immense marble
quarry in Vim parish, the salt mine
in Iberia parish, another accidental
discovery, and again, onr sulphur bed
here in Calcasieu, all the results of
accidental discovery, now stand as
monuments of proof of onr States
mineral wealth, and to unqualifedly
demonstrate the necessity for close
scientific search. Recently, though
the discovery is kept secret, speci-
mems exhibited in our town warrants
us in saying that We have a large bed
of kaoline in our parish. Weare i'm
pressed with the idea also, that geo
logical compatibilities exist in cur
parish, eSidencing the existence Of tin
ore. In ST. Landry parish it is well
known, exists an immense bed of lime
stone rock, of splendid quality. Speci-
mems, dressed and polished, show this
rock TO be a magnificent quality of
marble. Indeed, our State is, we be-
lieve, well supplied with this kind of
wealth, and it only remains for this
committee to make it known. We
have great faith in the zeal, and the
pure and energetic motives of Messrs.
Shattuck and Henry, in the execution
Of dnties imposed upon them by the
good people Of our State, and really
have no reason to speak or feel de-
sparagingly Of the other gentlemen
composing this committee, hence our
hopes Of good results from the efforts
Of these gentlemen.

definite conclusions can be deduced
therefrom. John r. Lynch, colored,
from Mississippi, defeated Powell

Booster Banner,
Young man, yon are trying y0nr
luck are you! Sometimes at orc
thing, sometimes at another, some
times this way, then that way some
times with cards, sometimes with bill
lizards, sometimes in futures" some
times in lotteries, and sometimes in
betting generally. Just stop long
enough for us to tell Won luck is an
ignis tatUuS, a "will o. the wisp a
jack O. the lantern" You may easily
follow it to ruin, but rarely ever to
success. Things do not often turn up
in this world until somebody turns
them up. Therefore seek some hon
est, useful business and stick TO ii.
" Keep the shop and the shop will
keep you" Any honest work is bet
Ter than no work, and all really useful
and necessary work is honorable if it
be honorably followed. 1t is Just as
respectable to stand behind the work
bench as behind the counter-to shave
timber for useful purposes, as to shave
notes--tO make the coat, as to meas
ure the cloth. Get honest work, do
it honestly; stick 10 it and you will
come out right in the end
Always seek that work in which you
can have the most personal indepen-
dence, and be yonr own mau. But if
working for others, if you are always
trne and faithful, you will always be
in demand. There is in this country
a great opening for true and honest
men, and such are in demand all the
time; and remember in every profes-
sion and every branch of business
there is always room at the top.
