The Louisiana populist., 1894-10-05

we have reached, as scientists tell us.

The Picayune IN. o. of Goth Septem-
ber, says that the loss per pound during
that time has been 1.7S cents. Estima-
ting the crop at 8! million bales, and
the weight at 500 pounds per bale, we
have the enormous sum Of SEVENTY
FIVE MILLION SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS, as the grand ag-

for that grand and glorious dollar,
which Mr.. Echles. Mr. Cleveland's In
diana lawyer, now comptroller of the
treasury, says we must have that will

With bankrupt fortunes, mOrtgaged
homes, naked families, balf-starved and

MIR. Clevelands Democracy-and they

gulped the Senate Bill which is McKin-
leyism, minus, according to Mr.. Carlisle,
