LOUISIANA is the State which tho
Republicans were going to carry on the
tariff issue. They were eon6dant she
would vote for high protection because
they raise little sugar down there and
it needs protection But Louisiana
voters knew that high protection meant
special privileges for corporations and
trusts, and an overfowing treasury was
in the interest of monopoly, while tax
reduction--not free trade-meante equal
rights, and.is in the interest of people.
Louisiana usually gives 10000 to
e, 600 majority for the Democrats, but
this time she excelled herself and
rolled up Democratic majority offrom
so. to $4,000. This is the answer
Louisiana gives to bloody-shirtism and
high protection.

TnE worst thing about high tariff
taxes is, that the man who pays them
like our editorial neighbor, with his
new spring suit doesn't see them.
When he pays ten cents for pound Of
sugar he can't see the tax of seven cents
walking around on il. which he pays
for the benefit Of the Louisiana sugar
planter, hence heis slow to kick against
the imposition. But, suppose he we're
