THE COURT HOUSE QUESTION.
OF OADDO

An injunction was served on the
police jury of this parish last Mon
day, preventing them from passing
an ordinance relating to the court
house removal. The ordinance
provided for an increase In taxa
ton to build a new court house
in case the removal was decided
by majority vote. We are of the
opinion that the matter should
have been permitted to come to a
vote, and that it would certainly
be defeated if submitted to the
people. The subject will never be
allowed to rest until this is done,
and this injunction will only serve
to prolong the controversy. twill
now become a factor in future DO
litical campaigns and serve to di-
vide the people upon other issues
that they should unite in common |
p carry. This is doubtless the
very thing the most prominent ag-
tators of the question desire, as
hey can make political capital out
It the complication, and utilize
hvision to better advantage than
the matter was settled. 1

by treasury officials upon the unmis
taxable intentions and requirements o1
law.
So, under the ruling policy OF both
Democratic and Republican parties
the Hazard circular has become the
financial basis of the nations industry.
And it has been adopted for Ger.
tain purpose, to-wit.: Capital Con-
troll Of Labor by Controlling Wages =
What is the result?
It has driven labor to paupcrism, and
is fast concentrating the lands. the
machinery and the wealth OF the ma
tiOn in the hands of q monied oligarchy
whose headquarters are in London and
Wall street.
Instead of better times we may look
for worse and worse, as money becomes
more and more under the control oi
the conspirators, and as wages con-
tinue to fall.
Employment for labor, skilled and
unskilled. will become more and more
difficult 10 obtain.
The people are already appalled, by q
profound gloom, darker than ever, be-
fore oyershadowed with civilization,
for man sees clearer his possibilities.
1t keeps property and wages down
to hard-pan prices by limiting the
money to the coin basis, because when
prices are low the bond-holder's inter-
est is able to absorb and eat up all the
proceeds of labor, and prevent the peO-
pie from ever ridding themselves Of the
burden.
To perpetuate this system. to keep
the masses in bondage to them. that
they may rollick and luxuriate in idle
ness on the labor of the masses. they
tell us that nothing but gold and sill
yer is or can be money-that anything
else is humbug, snare, and will
bring ruin upon the country-that in
fiation is worse than the cholera or the
plague.
And. notwithstanding they roll in
their millions, with fabulous incomes
themselves, they tell us that an aver
age of fifty or sixty dollars apiece for
the common folks would lead to spec
ulation, dissipation, recklessness and
wild extravaganza.
This sad condition will continue and
intensity until the chains of the mon
ey coutrol are broken. and that ele-
ment of industrial life is permitted to
flow freely and unobstructed through
the life channels Of industry.
How long will the people allow
themselves to be enslaved by mas
ters of their own choosing?
How long will they allow their par
tisan bias to stand between their suf-
fering families and the enjoyment of
the blessings of plenty and prosperity?
II the people submit to these out
RACES Two years longer, the next move
on the board will be to deprive them
of their ballot. and to treat freedom of
speech and liberty of the press as trea-
son. with the death penalty attached.
This is the goal which we are nearing,
and shall soon reach, unless we halt
and right-about-face soon.

pie were asleep, or on their knees,
praying for some interposition OF

Sherman went marching on, with the
torch of death, to burn the remaining
$500, 10000 of the peoples money.
