DIR. Edward B. Foote as represent
alive of Eclectic Medicine, as Il writer
of popular medical literature, and as a
physician stands prominent, and Is, per
hapS, throughout the world, better
known by his writings than any other
medical writer who has directed his
teachings to the people rather than the
profession. Born and raised among
Connecticut settlers, on the wv estern
Reserve in Ohio, lie early began the
work of many self-made men. Starting
at tile age of sixteen as "printer'S dew
liz in a newspaper Office, he worked his
way to the editorial chair, and was sew
orally connected with the most prosper
ons weekly (of its time in Connecticut,
and the first successful morning paper
of Brooklyn, n. Y, but his main i'm
pulse had always been toward the study
Of medicine, and to this end business
enterprises were sacrificed until an APP
premiership with noted botanical
specialist, and a course of study finish
ing with graduation, found him pre-
pared to follow out the bent of his life
to its completion. He was among the
earliest of those who advocated the
publication of anatomical, physiological
and hygienic books for the masses, and
his success in writing interesting and
popular books has been conspicuous.
His first and best known book, entitled
Medical Common Sense" reached a
circulation of 100000 copies, probably
because of its originality and novelty
in IA new field; and his subsequent
writings have been mainly in the same
line" Science in Story having been
written for the purpose of providing Il
readable book for children, and one
| which should make plain to their COM
prehension the facts which he consid-
cred it necessary for them to know con-
corning their own bodies
In speaking of the late Prof. j. S.
Smith, OF Oxford, London, Nature. re-
marks at has been said that in scien-
tifc thought, the best and most original
ideas have always been conceived be-
fore the age of thirty" This is proba-
bly, true, also, of the original of this
portrait. His most radical thoughts
were published in his first work, writ
ten berOre he was twenty-nine years of
age, and though his pen Is never long
idle, his first success has not yet been
eqralled by subsequent work, though
his ''Plain home talk" revision and
enlargement of Medical Common
Sense" seems likely in time to obtain a
circulation rivalling that of its prede-
cessOr.
In practice DR.. Foote has always been
independent, progressive and original,
always foe of old-fogyism and trade
unionism in medicine once a disciple
of the old Thempsonian botanical
school, as opposed to mineral and blood
letting practice, and now a staunch
supporter of Eclecticism in all that the
name implies. He has been actively
engaged in the practice of his profession
for thirty years, and as the portrait
given herewith is from a recent photo
graph, hard work appears to agree with
him and he looks equal to twenty years
more of it,

Labor and the Tariff.
BOssier Banner.

BOssier Banner.
Germany has protective tariff, and
yet the wages OF labor in Germany are
lower than they are in England, which
is free trade country. Germany takes
from its farms and workshops 100000
men and keeps them in standing ar
my, thus making room for that number
Of other men its Industries, England
has standing army of but $4,000
men. In Germany the population is
about 2l8 to the square mile; in En-
gland, it is AS to the square mile. En-
gland, therefore, has more than double
Germany in the number Of working
people to the square mile. Hence it is
clear that Germany ought to pay much
higher wages than England, but it
doesn't Notwithstanding its protective
tariff,
The United States has an average
population of about 20 persons to the
square mile, and in the thickly settled
States the average to the square mile
is not over 100. Because Of the COM
parative sparseness of the population
the wages Of labor are higher here
than in the more densely populated
countries of Europe.-LabOr has always
had better remuneration under low as
well as high tariffs here than it could
get in thickly settled countries. These
things show that the tariff has no effect
Oh the wages of labor.
1t is not conceded that a protective
tariff benefits the employer of labor,
but the workingman has long since dis
covered that he gets no share Of such
benefit if any accrues to his employer.
He is obliged to pay tariff taxes on
everything that he consumes, but his
pay is not increased by the tariff on the
special product of his labor, nor is he
more steadily employed on that ac-
count. On the contrary a high tariff
limits the market for his products to
home consumption and about six
months work ia the year is sufficient to
supply the home market. Year in and
year out his earnings are therefore less
than that of the European working
man employed in the same industry.

The following from the Natcbltoches
Democratic Review discloses the Vi
cious point in our criminal law. 1t is
this that claims disappropriate sum
in the budget Of parish expenses, en-
croaching upon the funds that should
be devoted to education and the main
tenance OF parish credit:
A negro was arrested in the lower
part of the parish the other day charged
with stealing chicken, worth probaly
Is or 90 cents. He was examined by
the magistrate and being unable to
give bond was committed to Jail. He
will remain there till next December,
where he is fed and clothed by the par
ish. Then the grand jury will investi-
gate the case, and if true bill is found
he will be tried by a jury of 10 men who
are paid by the parish, and he will be
apt to have eight or ten, possibly doub-
lie that number of witnesses, in addition
to those summoned on the part of the
State, all OF whom draw pay from the
parish treasury. BY the time be is con-
victed-if he is convicted-and landed
in the penitentiary, or parish Jail, this
trltting case will have cost the tax-pay-
ers of this parish somewhere in the
neighborhood of $3.50. The time will
come when our people will force from
their lawmakers more rational and
economical system for the punishment
of petty offenses than the one we have.

COncealing WrOng-dOing.

Some of the State press have an IN
direct way of defending the shortcom-
ings of the Legislature, by preaching
that we should have more civic pride
than to belittle our lawmakers, and
that our political rottenness should not
be exposed to the worlds gaze, etc.
The members of the Legislature who
are conscious of having done then
duty, know well that no harsh crtl-
cisms of the press are meant for them
and the others could not be better
pleased than with the silence of the
press. Mr.. T. Jones Cross, the new
editor of the Baton Rouge Truth, ex-
presses himself to the point, on this
question OF concealment:
While it's editor believes in an eleva-
ted and friendly discussion OF live is
sues, no threats OF bringing our State
and It's people into disrepute abroad,
no taunts OF mudslinging and vitupera-
tive assaults will stay him from de-
nOuncing on proper occasion the prosti-
tuition of the ball of box and the frauds
committed by a faction of politicians
that lay claim to decency and propriety.
III the powers that be dislike to obtain
this notorious and offensive distinction
abroad, let them commit no act, which
if exposed, would bring dishonor upon
the escutcheon of the State. Ii they
would do this instead OF having an
hostile and critical press arrayed
against them, the fairness Of Louisiana
editors would accord them a hearty
support; and they would have a united
Democracy behind them instead of one
that threatens to swallow them up
The dishonor lies in the commission OF
the otfense, not in the exposure of it.

The Fisheries Question

The resolution introduced to the Senate
Monday by Mr. Frye. touches the marrow
Of the fishing question now interesting the
people of this country and the maritime
provinces of Canada. The old treaty in
regard to the fisheries operated to stimu-
late the tishiag business in Canada by Civ
ing the fishermen of that country access to
the markets of the United States. and cor
respondiuglv depressed the fishing bust
ness in this country. The Boston Post has
recently published letter from St. John
N. b which presents the Canadian view
Of the late treaty as affecting the interests
oil that country The writer says
A treaty ia very much more necessary to
our fishing interests now than VIII n the Wash
iugtou Treaty was entered into. FIR the res-
son that other markets are very mach poorer
and We have much more fish II sell. Look
for moment and see how our fisheries pros
pered under the late treaty. First. We will
take the island. in the Bay of Fundv-Brisr
Island, Grand Msnan. Campobello and Deer
Island where the inhabitants are dependent
entirely upon fishing tor n livelihood Before
the treaty mot including a slight advance
Nent during the American rebellion). they
we're for years, about holding their own.
making living and nothing more. when they
had all the advantages of q good West India
market for the small amount of fish caught
During the existence of the treaty. although
the population has not greatly increased, the
wealth of the four islands has more than
doubled As FOR Nova Scotia, they could
hardly count one good banker. while tu-dsy
they have ~ fine feet aud nearly as many
~ the United States and have commenced
to bald a few seiners The treaty built those
industries up. which will have a tumble down
unless another OF : similar kind 10 made,
The late treaty. as above shown. was a
good one for Canada. and the people OF
that country would like to have it contin.
ued. We paid them. as Mr., Frye SAYS,
$500 900 in money. and the remission
OF IS 100000 in duties. during the ten
wears that the treaty of Washington con-
tinued. and at the same time their fishing
business increased largely by the advan-
tage which they received in having the
