n. G. Goodwin. Esq.,, Editor Chronicle. Colfax,
Dear Sri have been handed a recent
copy OF your paper, containing what pur.
ports to be letter signed by me, dated
Nov. BIRD, 1890, and addressed to ). =.
Howe, Many, La This letter Is bold
and unqualified forgery. did write Mr:
Howe letter dated Nov. 18th, 1881, and
have offered through Mr.. r. j. Barrow,
who called ON the representatives OF the
Sabine Banner in my behalf, to submit
the two letters to Mr.. G. Harrison Par
ker, editor New Delta OF this city. to de-
termine whether or not the letter OF No
vember I'D is forgery. This offer was
declined. Now, l am willing to leave the
matter to your decision, il the represen-
tatives of the Banner win place the doc
uments in your hands. Can anything be
fairer than this proposition!
Since you have given publicity to the
forged letter, know that your sense OF
justice will secure the publication OF this
denial in your columns. ask you 10 re-
member that 1 am not concerned in any
way in the fight for or against the lottery
charter. / am simply an employee, and
bear the same relations to my employer
a. any printer on your paper bears to
you. Yours very truly,
r. K. LAILING.
P.S. You no doubt exchange with the
New Delta. Since writing the above
have read an editorial in that paper on
the forged letter, to which / beg to call
your attention
The editorial of the Delta above
referred to admits that it is posi-
BILE that the letter in question is q
forgery, but it calls attention ia
the fact that it is none of the work
of the ants. 1t is the outgrowth
of corrupt mans chagrin at moi
being able to hire himself to the
lottery, the monster corrupting In
stitution of this age. Taking this
view of the case, and recognizing
in the above "sugary" letter a sor'
of advertising dodge for the lottery
which has been worked quite sue
cessfully among some of the coun
try editors, we beg to decline thu
honor of acting as referee in the
matter. AS we printed the letter
however, we give the above place
simply as a matter of individual
Justice. The bare assertion of MIR
Lalling cannot convince anyone tn
letter is not genuine, and he vii
have to take other methods of dis
proving it than the juicious adver
Using and promiscous writing o
letters to country editors in tn
same strain as the one above. Tn
parties accused deny the charge o
forgery, and have offered just a
fair a proposition to determine tn
dispute as that Mr.. Lalling pro
poses, and this offer he has de
cliDed; 80 honors are easy on tina
score. If any one is guilty of th
gross forgery charged, let them b
prosecuted under the law.

Mr.. Cleveland has written let
ter expressing himself as opposed
to the free coinage of silver. The
letter has raised a perfect storm OF
discussion on the subject, and is
said to have weakened his chances
for the presidential nomination in
1892. But that event is a long
way off as yet, and there is no tell
ing what the popular verdict will
be after a full, free and intelligent
discussion of the subject before the
people.

MEMORIAL
On the Subject of Taxation and
Public Revenues.
ADDRESSED to the Police Jurors and Assessors Of
(Comtinwed from last sreek.)
Such are some of the conditions
that confront us. What can be
done under our present laws?
There is an immediate and suf-
ficient remedy directly at hand
One that will give ample revenues
and yet viii promote industry, and
interest the weather. and priv
LEGGED classes more fully in the
judicious and economical admins
tration of public affairs. It is the
equitable assessment of all taxable
property of the State according to
the Constitution and laws. Strange
to say the public press have said
but little on the subject.
| Article 203 of the Constitution
provides that Taxation shall be
equal and uniform" land all
property shall be taxed in proper
ton to it's value" Act No. IS. of
1883, sections -. and "a, provides
that all taxable property be assess
ed Aat its actual cash value. The
| investigations which this commit
tee have made show conclusively
that il these provisions were faith
fully and impartially carried out
that at the lowest estimate there
would be fifty million dollars
added to the assessment lists in
the Parish of Orleans, and forty
millions in the balance of the
State. This would mean, at six
mills on the dollar for the State,
&54O, 600, and at the city rate for
New Orleans, of 81 OF per hundred,
it would mean an addition to the
city revenues of 81, OlO, 900, and q
corresponding increase for the
various purposes of local taxation
! lin the different parts Of the State.
This increase Of nearly $4,000, 900
in the various revenues Of the
State. would provide amply for
every need. and yet would not add
one cent to the burdens of the
mass of small property holders and
| purchasing consumers, but would
come wholly out of the rich and
privileged classes who are yearly
taking advantage of the State, par
J ishes and municipalities to that
amount No wonder riches tend
! to concentrate.
Do these statements appear start.

ALLIANCE Oem8n08s
The presidents of the State organ
izations Of the National Farmers
Alliance met in Washington, Feb.
4, the purpose being to formulate
certain measures to be presented
to Congress and to map out some
feasible plan for disseminating the
literature of the council for edu-
cational purposes.
The meeting was called to order
at 10 o'clock, with President Polk
in the chair; representatives of
the following States being present:
Virginia, Maryland, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi, Kansas and Pennsylvania.
kilograms were received from other
State presidents, saying they would
arrive at night The only BUSH
ness transacted in the morning was
the appointment of a committee on
silver legislation. At the evening
session the committee on silver
legislation submitted the follow
ing report:
Resolved, That we regard it as
a high duty enjoined upon Con-
gress by the constitution to provide
for the unlimited coinage Of both
the precious metals, gold and silver,
to the end that the people of the
several States may be provided
with a circulating medium. We
express our surprise, regret and in
dignation that this duty has been so
long delayed and neglected, con-
trary, as we believe, not only to
the duty we have mentioned, but
to the best interests of the masses
of the people, who are suffering
the pangs of poverty and stagnation
of business, caused by want Of
sufficient circulating medium. We
believe and charge that such delay
and neglect have been accustomed
| by an undue influence in our gov.
ornamental politics by those whose
| interest it is to contract the cur.
rency and subserve monopolies and
money lenders
1--WE, therefore, urge upon Con.
gress the demand heretofore made
| by the National Farmers Allianct
| and Industrial Union, for the fret
and unlimited coinage of silver
upon the same terms and condi
tons that gold is now coined.
4 "We express our earnest con
J demnation of the exercise of thu
. arbitrary power which prevented I
fair consideration of q free coinage
bill at the last session of Congress
and, in this connection, we give ex
preston to the hope that the fret
coinage bill which passed the Sen
ate during the present session, ant
is now being considerd in the com
mittee on coinage, weights ant
measure of the House, shall no
be suppressed, but shall be speedil,
