Tho Louisiana Election.

NEW ORLEANS, April 17.-Reports from
various points in the state show that to-day's
election passed quietly. Although nothing
definite can be known until tomorrow, it is gem
orally believed that the democratic ticket is sue
cessful. The ballot was free in every precinct
and in many instances republicans voted the
democratic ticket as protest against the ma
chine OF '76 which forced the present state
ticket on the party. There has been much
scratching, and the count is necessarily slow,
1t is reported from many points that the demo
cratic majority will be the largest in years.
M-The indications are that Nichols i:
elected governor by a majority of 10000. Spe
cials give the following democratic majoritie'
in the parishes named, and estimated from
partial returns: Concord, 900; East Feliciana
1900; Bunville, 1000; Vermillion, 800; Iberia
coo; Ouachita, 5000 VERY few votes were cas-
for Warmouth); Madison, LOO; Caddo, 5000
NEW ORLEANS, April 1S.-The democratic
majority in the state is about 5000.

UNITED STATES LEGATION,
PFKING. CHINA. Feb. is, 1855.
The Democracy and the Tariff.


Andrew Jackson, in his message TO congress
in December 1882, recommended gradual
diminution of duties to the revenue standard
''as soon as a just regard TO the faith of the
government and to the preservation of the
large capital invested in the establishments of
domestic industry will permit" That is pre-
cisely the position of President Cleveland's
message, of the Mills tariff bill and of the
democratic party. Andrew Jackson led the
party TO victory on that line, and with undi-
minished popularity transmitted his political
power to the policy of his democratic success
ors. President Pierce was elected in 1882 and
President Buchanan in 1856 on the same line
of policy and the free trade" tariff of 1916 was
in tull and successful operation. Will any pre-
tended democrat in Georgia or elsewhere I'M
dertake to assert that the Mills bill is as radical
a measure OF tariff reduction the tariff
of 1876? During the operation of this tariff
the democratic party achieved some OF It's
greatest victories over the party OF protection.
While the democratic party hOurished under
free trade" the high-tarih wing party went
TO pieces, There was then almost entire lar
mony in the democratic ranks on this ques-
ton from Maine 10 Georgia. Since that time
some remnants of the defunct wing party have
crept into the bosom of the democracy TO SOW
dissension and heresy in its organization. But
while there remains of ancient high-tarl1
whiggery may temporarily embarass and OBJ
struct the democratic party, they should not be
permitted to guide its councils and dictate itS
policy. OF this fact Samuel j. Randall afford:
a melancholy example.

Indiana Conferences of DroriuOns.

DUeUoIN, nls April 9S.-The third and last
days session of the Indiana conference OF
latter day saints or mormons was held here to-
day The elders, who have all been occupied
With evangelical work for the past two years in
this territory, were ordered back to their re-
spective fields of labor, there to remain until
officially relieved by four grand elders, who
leave salt Lake City, Utah, at once for this city,
upon whose arrival the elders now here viii be
sent TO Utah. This section will for the ensu-
ing FIVE years, be left without any elders of the
church, as also will Indiana, IT having been
considered that these states have been worked
enough by the disciples OF Joseph Smith.
Some two hundred conversions, 1t was reported,
have been added to the church in southern Hi
nois alone, many families having removed to
Utah. Many Of the elders travelled twenty
miles daily on foot to fill appointments eating
and sleeping when and where they could. The
conference returned thanks for the kind treat
ment received here from citizens. altogether
this conference has been to the members in at
tendance the best one ever held outside OF the
church in Utah. Seven hundred meetings
have been held by the fourteen elders in
southern Illinois during the past six months.

A workin gman,s Change of Heart.


We received private letter last week from
a native of Dubois county, workingman and a
lifelong republican. His, however, is but one
of thousands OF instances, found in every
neighborhood, where the young generation, de-
void of the prejudices always engendered by a
civil war; are turning from the republican
party because of its advocacy of monopolies
and high taxation to produce an unnecessary
surplus. We take the liberty of quoting a sem
tence from his letter, although 1t was not in
tended for publication. He writes:

The Wool Duty.


Why then, should we keep out by high
duties the foreign woods so necessary to the
clothing of the people? The wool growers
association asks us to put on a duty high
enough TO prevent the importation of all wool.
The wool manufacturers association ask us 10
put on duty high enough TO keep out all
manufactures of wool. III congress grants this
joint request, what are the people to do for
wooden clothing? Are the people to be COM
PEELED by congress TO wear cotton goods in the
winter or go without 10 give bounties TO wool
growers and wool manufacturers? During the
last fiscal year there were ia, ,l73 pounds of
wool imported, and of that amount 81, sos, 447
were cheap carpet wool, the greater part of
which paid pa cents per pound duty. The
high duty of 10 cents per pound on the finer
woods that go into clothing was so great bar
rier against the importation of the better woods
that only 33,099,696 pounds were imported.
But our people required clothing, and If con-
gress put duty so high on wool as to keep it
out, still, nigh as was the duty on WOODEN goods,
$44, 235, 243 worth we're imported and consumed
in this country, upon which duties were paid
amounting TO 500, 729, III. II the charges con-
stantly being made are true-that great guam
titles OF. these goods are coming in undervalued,
underweighed and unmeasured-then the ag-
gregate amount is much larger.

An Artificial and Unsound System.
New York Times. J

There is perccptible dizziness in some lines
of business which it suits our ardent protec-
tionists 10 attribute to the agitation of changes
in the tariff. Undoubtedly they are, to a GER
tain extent correct. 1t is one OF the worst fea-
lures of the high-tariff system that it causes a
considerable number of enterprises TO depend
upon legislative action. But that is an argu-
ment for q reform of so artificial and unsound a
system, not for its indefinite continuance. The
passage Of q substantial measure OF tariff reduc.
ton would have the immense advantage OF
placing these enterprises on a secure footing
where they would know what 70 depend upon.

Although the name of Col. Charles DENLY,

American citizen would, and pays a high trib-
