IF the American laborer has APP
proximately received his share of
The product of his labor through the
operation of the tariff why have we
these exhibitionsof organized vaga-
bondage under Coxey, Kelly, and
others, while the country as a whole
grows richer? What is the mean
ing of the presence in this country
of thousands of Hungarians, Ital-
ians, Poles and other foreign labor
ers Of the cheapest class. Why this
constant succession of strikes and
labor riots, caused by reductions of
wages, or efforts to substitute for
eign contract labor for American
labor; disturbances that have been
most frequent and most trouble
some while the party of protection
was in the full flush of power?
Why have wages been so steadily
reduced in industries most highly
protected? p Courier-Jonrnal.
For the last twenty-five years
Democratic statesmen have point
ed out the injustice and evil effects
of the so-called protective" policy
of the Republican party, under
which the laboring men have been
constantly taxed to fill the pock-
cts of millionaire manufacturers.
And now, when a Democratic adj
ministration seeks to undo the laws
which have clearly brought on the
suffering of the toiling masses, be-
hold the Inconsistency of a large
fraction of these complain ing ones,
who insist on joining in opposition
to the Democratic policy of right
ing the wrongs they complain about!
And the strangest part of it all to
us is that any intelligent farmer,
who has possibly had to pay a
larger per cent of this tax than any
other calling, that they should in
any wise be led astry about the
fight now going on in Congress-.
The millionaires fight hard to hold
on to their profits OF course they
do; but is that any reason for dis
content with the Democrats who
are seeking to carry out and enforce
the principles Of the party?

Major s. L. James, lessee of the
Louisiana Penitentiary, died sud-
denly at his home at Angola, at 6
o'clock, July 26th. He had been
riding about the plantation during
the day and was in comparatively
good health, and was sitting OH the
gallery conversing with his family
when he was taken with a smoth-
ering sensation. He walked to the
railing, attempted to vomit, when
the blood gushed from his mouth
and nose, and he expired within
about twenty minutes.

ssBuldOzing In Grant and Winn.' -
Under the above caption the
New Orleans newspapers have had
a great deal to say this week about
the Junior Order of American
Mechanics, which is alleged to be
an oath-bound order organized for
unlawful objects, it's main features
being anti Democratic and anti
Catholic. A prominent Catholic
gentleman is alleged to have state
ed that he was made to leave the
country simply on account of his
religion. Now, we believe this
whole thing to be great big SEN
sational lie. We don't know a
thing about the Junior Order, ex-
cept that a lodge has been organ
lied at Pollock, on the III. G. A. &
N. railroad, distant from Colfax
about Is miles. Our information
is that it is a legitimate labor union,
and, like all other reputable or
CARNATIONS, that it especially re-
Trains from interfering with either
the politics or the religion of its
members, only asking and requir-
ing them to be fair, competent and
honorable workmen, willing to
abide by the ruling of the order in
all matters relating to wages. We
do not believe that it has any such
objects in view as correspondents
of the city papers have stated. If
the members of the order wish to
make any statement relative to this
wide spread charge it will give US
pleasure to give them space for
this purpose.
Since writing the above we see a
card in the Times-Democrat from
Mr.. II. l. Brian, of Winn, denying
that either himself or his father,
Senator Brian, of Grant, belongs
to the Junior Order, and stating in
substance that the organization is
about as we have outlined.

German and his co-conspirators
think to defeat tariff reform. They
have only given it a greater i'm
pulse and q more decided spirit.
They have given the congressional
campaigns this fall but one issue.
Party lines sink away before it.
The question to be decided next
November is: Shall the President
and representatives of the people
be upheld, or will you sustain the
American house of lords? If the
Senate cannot afford to go to the
country on that issue the President
and the House surely can. st.

The Cant That Makes Trouble.
Alta summer school at Worcester
recently, Senator Hoar told the
students, "this country itself is
nothing but a great labor organi-
cation, and the Debs strike is moth
ing but little labor union rising
against a great one" The assump-
ton of Debs and his crew that
there is a distinct class called La
Dor, and that they represent it,
does violence to every American
principle and tradition. All good
citizens are laborers, and the drones
are so few as not to be worth count
ing. It is belittling to Americans
to be so designated and classified.
All are citizens, with an equal voice
in the government, and the govern
ment is just what the citizens have
made it It is cant and contempti-
BILE hypocricy for any man to stand
up and talk about there being diff
ferent laws in this country for the
rich and the poor. Nineteen out of
twenty of all the rich men in
America have worked their way
up from poverty by hard labor, IN
renting industry, sacrifice and
frugality, and what they have &C
complished is possible to every
other citizen.

were little undecided about going
a game had been arranged with

Rev. VIM. Mcbride, of Winn

GAINESVILLE on July 18th, is the only
man that has ever read his own
obituary in the CHRONICLE. The
old gentleman was sick a long time
and several weeks ago we printed
his obituary, under the impression
that he was dead. When shown
the paper he was considerably
tickled, and seemed particularly
pleased at our tribute to his Chris

patient resignation, ''The editor is
very kind, and he is only a few
days ahead of time"
