is designed to cast great additional Inn

in many ways and by many facts opd

to the farming class. and that this h;r

1t may be laid down as fnndamentaI.

Senator Walcot, is a new senator
from Colorado. He has said but little
among ;he Soluns in the senate, but the
other day when the silver bill was under
discussion the pent up powers of elo-
guence that were burning in his bosom
burst forth in II short speech that cauS-
ed his republican friends, who had
heretofore ruled the new senators with
IN iron rod, to squirm and twist the
seats of their p%antaloons off, and to
open their eyes wider than Il new
saucer.

tectiye tariffs, elections laws or II

In the final vote on the Lottery
Bill both the Representatives and
Senators from Lafourche, cast their
votes in the affirmative, that is, to
leave the issue to be decided by the
people in their sovereign capacity.
This was the correct position to take.
Had the issue been one between the
Democratic party and its opponents
the case would have been different.
But being one that has arisen within
the party since the election there
was no means OF ascertaining
the will of the people, on a question
of so great Importance, except by
permitting the people to have an OPP
portunity to express their opinions.
That is pure, genuine Democracy.

The simple question, in these Uni

impression heretofore has been that
the government is Republican-that

that the people are to have nothing to

James G. Blame, after a long silence
has turned himself loose, and given us
another chapter on that wonderful
conception of the nineteenth centur,
called Republican Protection. He
says that if Cuba and the South

Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska ETC., into
their dominions free of duty he favors
making sugar free from duty. That
means to say, if a market can be got
ten for the -four of the dissatisfied Re-

he would destroy the sugar industry.

President Harrison has signed the
dependant Pension Bill.
This will enable a few thousand
more bummers, bounty jumpers and
camp followers to be fastened upon
the county like leeches. whilst the real
and true soldier stands aside.
If the crazy ideas of the fanatical
republicans were carried out it would
require one billian of dollars annually
to pay the pensions they propose to
give.
The cost of a wal is nothing to the
cost OF the pensions to lie paid there
after Were Judgment and common
sense used in the selection of pension
ers no objection could be urged Every
soldier who served in the field, and is
in a dependant condition either from
wounds or old age should be allowed
n pension. but not bummers, bounty
jumpers camp followers who never did
a soldiers duty u single day.
