Some Practical Questions for Farmers.
The farmer produces nothing but your
so-caied raw materials. Do you think
him fool enough not to see that his inter-
eStS are singled out for attack III your war
cry OF free raw materials?
If you succeed in tpauperlZing him
through the success of your party, will
he not retaliate in voting Tor free trade in
manufactures too?
And is this not exactly what you aim at.
namely, to array the different interests of
| the country against one another, and thus
in the end compel tree trade all round?
Why has British agriculture been almost
ruined since the adoption OF free trade if
| that policy especially benefits farmers?
| Does it betOken unusual courage and
| purity of purpose on the part of Grover
| Cleveland to get down IN the dust of New
1ork'S filthy streets and crawl around IN
| abiect humility, suing for the support OF
that VIGOROUSLY crlminally corrupt organ
| ization known as Tammany Hall?
New South Wales for many years had
| free trade. Her sister colony. Victoria,
| ha0 protection. Why did New South
| Wales change to protection last year?
| DO you suppose that the English press
and public desire the election of Cleveland
| for the benefit of our country and people
What are the raw materials you demand
| free admission for?
How many foreigners would vote TOR
harrison and Reid If they could vote next
November?
DO you want to repeal the Mckinley
law because you Prefer idle American
mills and busy foreign mills to busy
American mills and idle foreign mills?
Were not your predictions as to the eff
fects of the Mckinley tariff as false as
Cobden's when he asserted that the whole
world would have adopted free trade
within ten years after England had led
the way?
Did free trader ever make a true pre-
GictlOn?
DO you deny that tinware is actually
| cheaper now than before the new tariff
passed?
If 1t is-and you know 1t is-who pays
the duty on the tin plate of which it is
made?
Are not Senators Carlisle and Harris,
Bank Commissioner Preston and Labor
Commissioner Peck, all Democrats, pretty
good authorizes by whom to refute the
! falsehoodS OF the free trade demagogueS
| If the American MARKET is not far more
valuable than the sO-called markets OF
the world" why are all the great indus
| trial nations bending every effort to get
| possession of it I?

OF Course They Viii Repeal the Tax on
State Banks.

STATE BAnkks
Southern Democratic papers like the At
lanta Constitution say they want the 10
per cent. tax on the notes of state banks
repealed, so that such notes may be issued
and serve as "local currency" Northern
Democratic papers are coming forward
nerv0usly and explaining that if the tax
were repealed state bank notes would not
go into circulation. The senior organ says
ut would not be possible for state banks
to issue notes that would be received as
money by the people, The junior organ
says the average voter knows that such
currency cannot be made legal tender and
he cannot be compelled to take dollar of
1t unless he wants it."
If, as these two Illinois papers think,
such notes would not 90 into circulation,
why take the risk and go to the trouble of
repeating the tax? Why give the matter
so much importance as to advocate it in a
national platform? Why aid Mr.. Cleve
land intimate in his letter OF acceptance
that state bank paper might form part of
the currency? The supreme court has de-
clded that the law imposing the tax was
constitutional. Therefore, it need not be
repealed for constitutional reasons. Con-
Sequentiy. why not let it remain on the
statute books? They admit it does no
harm.
Because the Southern papers are better
lIllOTlDeG anu IlIOr0 UOu6Sl lIldn the NOTlu-
ern Democratic sheets. They know that
whatever Illinois might do in regard to au-
| thOriZing wildcat issues the Southern
states would go into wildcating with a rush
and flooding this nation with their ''cats"
and dogs" The Northern Democratic Or
gans know it also, but they are too much
| under Southern domination to tell the
truth, and they are too anxious on account
of their Otfce-seekerS. II they really be-
heyed that the repeal of the state bank tax
would not put state bank notes in circula-
ton they would insist on the law remain
ing as it is, because its repeal could answer
no good or useful purpose, but would Gre
ate great meaSinecS in financial circles,
and wonld be a constant temptation to
spectators to go into the cid business OF
flooding the country with ''State sovereign
ty'' wildcat money" The safe and
proper thing to do is TO defeat the fat
prophet" who has already indorsed the
reissue of state bank issues III his letter of
acceptance. Ii the Democrats regain pow
er with both houses of Congress they are
absolutely certain to repeal the 10per cent.
tax on wildcat issues because the ''Solid
South" wants it DONE and that section con-
trolls the Northern Democrats as man
controls his dogs.

"The Republican party has a glorious
past. No other party ever had such a
grand one. The Democrats do not like
that past. We love it, but we have a tacit
understanding with our opponents this
year that we will not tell the truth about
their past if they do not lie about ours"
"The Republican party now stands
where it stood when it was organized. and
the Democratic party stands where the
British free trader has stood since the Re-
publican party was organized. There are
only two Democratic utterances which
have claimed the attention of the country
for the last fifty years, and both of them
are profanity"
''The policy of the Mckinley bill by
opening up new industries and creating a
demand for labor and competition, has adj
vanced the wages even of men not en-
gagged in protected industries. The Demo-
cratic theory is based on what is going to
be; the Republican party on what has
been and what is. The Democratic theor-

What Protection Has Done FOR Louisi-
ana.


To THE EDITOR-Sir: In nearly every
weekly number OF your paper I notice one
article or more on the practical tests
of the Mckinley tariff law. Being thor
oughly imbued with the wisdom and prac-
teal utility of it, thought some mention
of its operation in this part of the country
might prove acceptable to you and illus
tIative of its benefits.
Opelousas is situated in what is general
ly known as the Southwestern District of
Louisiana. The surface OF the land is
nearly level. Here and there small water
courses serve as drains and through the
year contain water III sufficient quantity
to lrrIgate all lands lying on their borders.
OF course il has TO be pumped up. Until
within the last four years cotton, corn 9nd
cane mot much of the laStl were the sta
pie productions. Rice was raised in guam
titles sufficient for domestic use, but not
Tor commerce and expectation. The en-
couragment given to its cultivation by the
tariff law has caused a marvellous increase
OF acreage, and within the last two years
rice has become the faVOrite crop
OF the farmers. The vacant lands
are nearly all taken up at enhanced
prices. Vast quantities of appropriate
machinery are hauled out from this and
other towns, and new life has been in
fused among the producing classes. The
two parishes of st. Landay and Acadia,
together comprising about $4,000 square
miles, will send to market about 100000
barrels of rough rice. Three years ago
they did not produce 100000. This as
tOnishing increase of production viii con-
tlnue if the protection now given to rice be
perpetuated. Of course, the yield must de-
pend upon the seasons. but the increase of
acreage is not q matter of conjecture. The
fact IS satisfactorily demonstrated that,
with the protection now given it, it can be
remuneratively produced, and farmers are
energeticallY investing their means in it.
There is no money in the cultivation of
cotton, and it must give way to rice. Cane
is too expensive for small farmers, and
must remain so until system of cooper
ative industry is adopted offering greater
facilities than any heretofore thought of.
Fully one-half of the surface of Louisiana
is adapted to rice culture, and it requires
no prophetic ken to see that the protective
policy of the national Republican party
must lead to its rapid development. The
fact is too patent 70 admit of deception by
Anglo-DemocraJi theories, and it is hav
ing perceptlbe influence among the peO-
pie, which, if judiciously availed of, will
find indubItable expression at the ballot
box in November next. if our election COM

her feeling that the Home was great bless

opinion that the comforts which she enjoyed
there together with the unremittlng care
and attention which she received at the
hands of the mntron, Mrs. Bliss, were the
means of proloneiug her life. 1t is an in

married until she was about 10 years old,
and her husband lived seven years after
their marriage. she leaves an aged sister
