A comparison of the prices of
rough rice and the condition of the
market this year with that Of two
years ago, is instructive. On Oct.
s, 1891, rongh rice was quoted IN
New Orleans at 1920 to s4.1O a
barrel of 1862 pounds; the receipts
that far for the season were 288,746
sacks. On Oct. 20, 1893, The prices
of rough rice were $3.50 to $3.50,
with total receipts for the season of
only 285, 49, sacks. Last seasons
receipts at this date were 500, Al
sacks. Thus we see that supply and
demand alone do not determine the
prices in the open market, for if 1t
did with such a shortage in the yield
and seasons receipts, rice should to-
day be worth 1925 to Sd % in New
Orleans.

senator Gallery ON Sugar.

In view of the widely current ru
NOR that the bounty law will be
repealed by the present Congress
aud the fear that the tariff on sugar
will prove inadequate to protect our
product against the foreign article
it may be we'll to enquire how our
Senator's and Congressman stand on
this all important question. Sena-
tor Caffery's position has never been
10 doubt. He has long been known
as a loyal friend to the sugar inter.
ests. LII this connection it may be
we'll to publish his statement n the,
subject made some time since:
Il am not o free trader. The
sugar planter quoted in the Times
Democrat incorrectly states my
views on the subject. | have always
been a Democrat. The Democratic
doctrine of tariff for revenue only
includes sugar, while the opposite
doctrine Of protection excludes it.
The principle Of tariff for revenue
necessarily embraces revenue pro-
ducing articles az distinguished from
The articles taxed for projections
sake. Protection in its latest devel.
opment and application, exists only
for articles which either are on can
be produced or manufactured in the
United States up to a sufficient
Quantity to supply the consumption
Of the people of the United States.
Sugar is not now, and it is doubt.
full if it ever will be, produced to an
extent to supply the domestic de-
mand. The Republican Congress
would never have consented to a
bounty on sugar had it not been for
the productive development Of sor-
ghnm in Kansas and beet in Cali.
lorna. Inc sugar planter OF Louis
lana could not have been considered
had he stood alone. For years the
Republican party had been inimical
to Louisiana sugar. It's protective
theory had no proper application TO
our sugar. This was exemplifed
both by express declaration of its
leading organs and statesmen and
by the bounty system. That system
being established, aud large inter-
ests having gathered around it,
should not be disturbed until there
is a restoration of a fair duty on
sugar. I never was q free trader.
| believe il a tariff for ven to
run an economical government. and

ton will look to the largest revenue

Sam Jones in drawing a line aboat
morality, a line defined, hit the pen
sion business 10 this style:
Il remember years ago there was
al angry controversy over the sla-
very question between the North and
the South. Then there was what
was called Mason's and Dixon's
Line. North Of that line were the
anti-slavery States, and south Of it
the slave States. First the issue,
then the line drawn, and then follow
ed four years OF the bloodiest war in
the history Of the world. First the
issue, then the line drawn, then the
battle. and after the battle victory.
OF course it went against US, but the
federals never whipped US SO bad
after all. 1t was ignorance that de-
feated the South. If we had known
we had crippled up 500 1000 Of them,
as shown BY the pension payroll, we
could have mrde one more rally and
won the fight. Yes, sir; we were

The following unique correspoa~
dence is taken from The Meigs Coun-

Mr.. Editor There is being SO
much said ia the country about hard
times and the scarcity Of money, and
as everybody has a cause and a
remedy, [ thought | would write
what | think is the cause.

w are told there is an over pro-
duction; this may be SO in other
counties but not so 10 Mejgs.
The trouble is We buy more than
we produce. There is too much
-four and bacon shipped up the river
every year. Things we ought to
make at lone we are buying:
We let our timber rot and buy our
plow stocks, siugletrees, ak handles,
hoe handles and fencing.
We throw away our ashes and bny
our soap and axle grease.
We give away our beef hides and
buy u hame strings and shoe
strings.
We let our manure 60 to waste
and buy guano.
We buy garden seeds in thesqring
and cabbage in the winter.
We let our lands grow up in
weeds and buy our brooms.
We let the wax out of our pine
and gum trees go to waste and buy
chewing gum for our children.
We buy school houses aud hire
teachers and send u children of
to be educated.
We land a 5 cent fish with q $4
fishing pole.
w send a Is cent boy out with a
$40 gun aud a 81 dog to kill birds.
We raise dogs and buy wool.
And about the only thing in this
country that there is aud over pro-
duction o., is politics and dogticks.
Now this will not apply to every
farmer in our country. We have
a few who are farming and raising
what they did fifteen or twenty years
ago, and they are doing just as well
as then, and every n Of them has
money to lend every year to Us over

cheaper than we can raise them

On last Friday evening g. Broad.
street, who during the present sea-
Q has been employed on the Bence
q Arnold place, near the Garland
ranch, in the western part Of this

Signal, bought a ticket with the in
tention Of going to his home in
Greencastle, Ind. He left there on
the early Saturday morning train,
leaving New Orleans that evening
on the Illinois Central road. When
nearing Durant, Miss, he suddenly
and without any warning jumped
through the car window, sustaining
severe injuries. The train was
stopped and he vas picked up and
taken to the hospital at Durant.
That Broadstreet was insane there

The fact that this farm was on an is- land was pointed to as a spot where convict labor could be utilized with a minimum number of guards and with the least possible interference with any industries where free labor was employed.

A Daring Robbery.

MARSHALL, Tex, Dec. 25. - At 8 o'clock this morning Pacific Express Messenger Mccullough was knocked down by a negro on the station platform here and robbed of his pouch containing an amount estimated at be- tween s5, ,000 and sS,000.
 Immediately after knocking the mes- senger down the negro grabbed the pouch and quickly made his escape in the darkness
 The scufile and robbery were wit messed by at least 150 persons about the depot, but it was all done so quickly no one had time to recover from his astonishment and interfere till the negro had disappeared.
 The unprecedentedly bold robber was not recognized by any one, and was, apparently, an utter stranger in this vicinity.
 No one seems able to give anything like coherent description of the rob Der, and no clew to his identity or present whereabouts has yet been gleaned.
