Editor Colfar Ckvoaics:
The two Don Quixotes,s Messrs. Cam
eron and Thorpe having set up their two
little wind mills and run their two little
tits against them, may be permitted to
enter the lists and gather up their man
gled remains for decent christian burial
Does it not seem rather queer to you that
these two gentlemen rush to the front a.
champions OF the court house removal;
one Of them has not been here long
enough TO make good deep track in the
ground and the other is making $50 heaB)
preparations to 60 away. Do you think
that these gentlemen are qualified to die
tate to US native Louisianians where our
court house ought to be? Mr.. Thorpe's
6&ures are good, but the bottom having
been Knocked out of his argument by
your allowing that his assumption of q
$500 surplus 10 unfounded, there remains
nothing moro TO do. The wind having
been let out by that pin prick, why his
full blown argument cOlapses. / would
advise Mr.. Z. to -"tarry at Colfax till his
beard be grown" Don't fool with figures,
Mr.. T, they are liable to puzzle an in
hand. a''f r
Now, Mr.. Oemerop, will you please
stand up and answer some questions Do
/ understand you to say that You want to
move the court house because four yeaz
ago some bad men wanted to do some
thing bad and couldn'tf II that is 30
then you must want to take it to one of
two places, either to where some bad men
COULD carry out their schemes, Or to where
there are no bad men. / don't suppose
you want TO take our court house to the
first named place. and the only place that
flls the bill for the second place Is heaven,
and they don't want q court house there.
Now, Mr.. Cameron, IL things were in such
Q condition in Colfax in November 1882,
what made you buy $4,000 worth OF land
in such q place less than month after
wards, in December 1882? And why did
you 60 into partnership in that purchase
with one OF the Rentlemen accused OF that
awful scheme Of assassination !? You

Samuel J. Tilden, patriot states
man, died at his. home in New York
on Wednesday, Aug. A, 1886.

President Cleveland's order to
the officials of the U. s. govern
ment not to use their official posi-
tions TO compass the selection of
delegates to political conventions
favorable to their party, is meeting
with universal approval throughout
the country. Politicians are find
ing out that Cleveland means bust
ness in the matter of civil service
reform, and the solid men of the
land are standing by him in his
endeavors to carry out the law.

ANOTHER FREE TRADE CRANK.

tariff so-called "protectionists" to
charitably allude to those who
oppose their ideas as "cranks. %
The Alexandria Democrat, in COM
menting on the attitude of DR..
Luckett on the tariff question, re-
grets exceedingly that that gentle
man should be 80 foolhardy as to
antagonize the sugar planters of
Rapides on this subject. True,
the Democrat does not use these
words, but the idea is about the
same. We are aware that the
doctor is fully able to take his own
part in a controversy Of this nature,
and we do not propose to champion
him; but the Democrat SHES it's
castor into the ring, and seems to
be anxious for some one to step on
its coat tail, and we cannot resist
-.
the temptation to remark that we
hold views very similar to those of
the offending gentleman. More
over, we are led to believe that the
doctor is in perfect accord with the
great majority of the Democrats
of the State, and particularly those
in the 4th Congressional district
If the editor of the Democrat has
been keeping posted upon the sub
ject under discussion he must have
read several things of late to rufle
his feelings, and show oonclusively
that of a truth, ''the sugar planters
were in the minority" What does
he think of the following remarka-
BILE concession from, a protective
tariff man like Don Piatt
The so-called protective tariff is a
stupendous failure. While l write, the
whole country is paralyzed by strikes.
An army numbering millions of men is
being organized to take these protected
capitalists and shake out of them the
injustice which leaves thousands on
thousands unemployed. while it holds
those that are employed at starvation
wages. A lively sequel this to twenty
five years of big protection. a
Also the following resolution,
adopted by the Grant county, Min
nesota Republican convention last
week, which goes to show that
many level-headed Republicans as
well as Democrats have well defined
views on this question, and propose
to be recognized in another cam
paign: ~ IS z
We hold that the doctrine that pro-
lection protects the laboring class of
America is q deiusiOD and snare !;
that the laboring man of this country
necessarily completes with the pauper
labor of the whole world, while the
manufacturer is protected and made
rich ut the expense Of all. - sia

The President, in bis last annual
message, gives the need Of praise to
General Miles for his conduct Of the
Apache "war" in these words:
I'm September and October last the
hostile Apaches who under The lead
ership Of Geronimo had for eighteen
months been on the warpath, and
during that time had committed many
murders and been the cause 81 con.
stant terrors to the settlers of Arizo-
ma, surrendered ID General Miles, tue
military commander who succeeded
better than Crook in the management
and direction Of their pursuit.
Better than Crook implies that
Crook did do something towards
bringing the Apaohes into subjection.
Had The President been moro explicit
in regard to the services performed
by Crook in regard to the manage
ment and direction Of the Apacbes,
the readers Of his message would not
be at a locs to know what estimate ne
places upon Crooks services ia the
campaign referred to, and until he
does 50, his reference to Crook, at all,
must be regarded as less than a left
handed compliment to that stupen-
dous failure Of a military officer,
whose achievements were not the re-
suit Of loss Of blood Of troops Oh of
strategic movements IN tho field, but
the Aow Of printers ink, through the
agency Of Captain Bourke, who CON
stantly lmportuned for space, Of tnose
who controlled public journals, and
prostituted The associated wires, and,
as a consequence, his articles ia refer
ence to Crook, like 1Jack in the box,
were almost constantly popping out
for the entertainment Of those living
remote from the scene Of murdered
citizens, the result Of Crooks happiness
for Indian warfare, The fact is that
the President in attempting to let
Crook down easy has, unwittingly per-
hgps, hit him trip-hammef blow
that paralyzes his oyerweening ambi-
tion to be regarded, in Indian war

bic and extraordinary demonstration
made by the workingmen Of New

cities, shows us the time has now al,
rived when the working people eshould
ieolde upon the necessity Of united
action as citizens at the ballot-box, in
dependent Of the existing political
parties; and,
Whereas, The necessity Of this is
apparent from the subjection Of the
police powers to the interests Of cor
porate capital in enforcing upon their
employees conditions repulsiye to free
labor and liberty, and if this nefarious

slIvER co,sAGE

The contest over free silver coinage
in this country is contest between
money lenders on one side friends Of
the President whom he feels bound to
assist as a quid pro quo for services
rendered in his election) and the la
borer and debtor class OH the other.
The former have couspired to degrade
silver as compared with gold and
fraudulently procured this to be done
through the Secretary Of the Treasury,
in violation Of existing laws, and all
though the bonded Indebtedness Of
the United States is payable in coin
and so expressed upon the face Of the
bonds, the Secretary has Disseminated
against silver, by paying for the three
Per cent bonds, redeemed during the
twelve months ending October 3lst,
1927 ,2SS,l00 in gold coin, The bond
cd and Notwithstanding debt of
the United States on the list Of No.
yember last was S1,7l5,l93,4 400 rs,
and if an equal division of gold and
silver were made in the gradual con
traction Of this debt, there would he
no further complaint of an excess or
accumulation Of silver IN the vaults of
the Treasury.
Silver is the money Of the people
and is 54 per cent of the worlds
money, while gold is only 46 per cent.
Again the population Of countries
having single gold standard, is only
93,O0000O, while countries with bi.
metallic standard lave an aggregate
population Of 1S7,0O0,O00 and coun-
tries with SILVER standard alone, Of
769,0O0o00l Then too, the gold value
Of United States silver COIN is rela-
lively greater than that Of any other
country e Che world, as the following
ratios at which the two metals are
coined, shows: United States, oz. Of
gold to l6 ia. of silver; France, to
l53; Germany, ] to l5l England / to
1928. The Netherlands afford no
ted example Of the success Of BIZ
metallic standard. Its money consists
Of S28,OOO0OO gold. s57,00O0O0 silver,
and $S1 ,675ll4 paper, redeemable in
coin, and yet the paper currency cir.
eulates at par.
We do not find It necessary to par
sue this subject further, TO carry con-
viction to reflective minds that the
free coinage Of silver is not likely to
change its present relative position
with gold, which it has maintained,
without a notable difference for three
thousand years; nor is it AZ all likely
that free coinage, as contended by
some, will give the United States i
plethora OF silver. The producers of
wheat, corn, tobacco and cotton have d
large interest in the maintenance Of
a bi-metalic standard and they should
make common cause with silver pro-
ducers IN maintaining its coinage and
unrestricted circulation, as against
New York conspirators backed BY
plant tools at the head Of the govern
ment.
