was condemned by republican speakers
By imposing a dnty Of 20 per cent o.
sugar, the United STATES wonld raise one
fourth Of the revenue needed for the OK
penses of the government.
When senator blackburn, Of KentHck!
attempts to pass the sugar measure Ia
will fail. Secretary Carlisle said, ''Yoi
cannot do without the duty on sugar
leave it there
Mr.. Price allRded to his earnest appeals
to the democrats not to take the duty of
sugar, in the house of representatives
The appeals fell ON cold democratic hearts
but upon colder republican ones Only
two republicans were opposed to sugar
on the free list. After the bounty had
been taken Of four bills were offered.
These were to put barbed wire, coal, iron
aud sugar on the free list. The only two
republicans who voted against sugar on
the free list were Harrison and Rsyburn OF
Philadelphia.
] Who was to blame for the bounty not
being paid2 Senator Allison, of Nebras-
Ia, spoke against the bounty and showed
where the trust would be benefited $40,
100000. Two democrats were won over.
All the others were republicans.
Mr.. Price alluded TO the rumoFs that
were going the rounds that the democrats
had not taken care of the rice industry.
4 The rice producers had expressed their
satisfaction at the schedule by the Wilson
bill and endorsed it. When the schedule
went Ia the senate Mr.. Allison called for
two changes, and these should be laid at
his door But Mr. Price was of the opin-
ion that the rice raiseTs were satisfied at
the present schedule.
Some people claimed that sentiment
should be sent to the dogs but should
sentiment be set aside When the war
was over was it not the democratic party
of the north which sent the first words OF
encouragement When the force bill,
the old one. was spoken Of it was a dem
Ocrat who spoke against time, had his
food and drink brought to him at his
/ desk, till. on March 4th, that grand old
man, Sam Randall of Pennsylvania,
physically exhausted and weak, drew
himself mp and pointing to the clock,
addressed the speaker in these words
.'The hands Of the clock point to the
hour Of L and the force bin is dead.
Was il not Reed who brought up the
force bill, and Cormau who killed it
Then MIR. Price referred to the OLD times
I in Louisiana and the days of republican
supremacy and tyranny. He scored the
radicals and pictured the infamous bayo-
net support Of the federal government to
the Louisiana republicans.
The trusts, born under republican re-
I gime We're being killed by the democrats.
But coming down nearer home, the
I speaker alluded to the attempts To over
power the white vote by the negro, aud
the cart loads Of these fellows which were
being brought to deal a deadly blow to
body must go 10 the polls together, in
bands, in a solid pbalanx and vote down
these dangers. If these districts went
over to the enemy, it meant only the
commencement again of negro rule. The
only way to avert that danger, was TO do
ones duty.
The hard times were due to bad legis-
lation by the republicans, not by the
democrats. When Mr.. Cleveland turned
the government over TO the republicans
in 1889, the treasury was full. They gave
it back empty and bonds had to be sold
to pay the running expenses of the gov,
eminent.
To the ladies, Mr., Price sail be had
never had such large assemblies as in
this campaign, and ladies had always
been present. livery community and
congressman who had the support Of the
ladies was as sure TO succeed as the SUI
to rise and set.
He had rather be the bearer Of tlit
banner OF white democracy IN defeat thar
the stsndard-bearer of success for tn,
black cohorts of tine republican party.
The good women of Caleasieu would
see that the men did their duty.
