- How silly then, 1t is for us to be IN parry
which threatens best interests with desuuo

Louisiana is no longer held by the fetich OF 'he

LOUISIANA NOT ALONE.
The foregoing extracts are fair example OF the
trend q, the entire speeches made during that
marvellous convention. and all OF them by men
who have heretofore voted the Democratic ticket
straight I have given extracts at consideraoie
length because desired the readers of The IT'D
une to understand how completely the Democratic
planters OF Louisiana have severed their relations
with the Democratic party They have joined the
Republican party from principle. In DONG 80 'hey
have taken a stanc In favor not only OF pro'ec-
ton for the sugar industry OF Louisiana, but Tor
protection to every industry In the entire Unted
States The spirit and intelligence OF everything
uttered in that convention would do credit 10 the
ablest convention ever held In Pennsylvania.
Massachusetts or New-York
The speeches show most conclusively that the
Democrats Of Louisiana have discovered the utter
hopeessness Of any advantage 10 the Industries OF
their State that can possibly arise from the ac-
ton OF the Democratic party as 1t is now constl-
tuted. They clearly comprehend the situation
and have had the courage to act up to their con-
victions. They have left the Democratic party
and have left it FOR good having burnt their
bridges behind then
There are many other districts in the South
where tie same lesson seeris 20 have been fully
learned 1t would seem that the Solid South
could never have teen broken except by the
experience. OF the last eighteen months under
Democratic rule. The cost TO the country has
been something fearful II. however, /, shall re-
who are really aborng to build UP industries
here In the United States 10 the fact that their
only hope l'es in their support OF the Republican
party and IT'S principles. there ~il be some COM
pensation for the universal distress occasioned
throughout the United States by Democratic
rule
REPUBLICAN CONGREssMEN FROM THE
SOUTH.
In view Of the foregoing facts predic, an In
crease OF Republican Congressman from the
Southern States. II my prediction shall prove
true those Congressman added to the la:ge num-
Der which the Republicans are sure TO gain In
many Of the Northern States. will most surely
make the next Congress OF the United States
Republican.
Two years ago the Democrats were claiming
that this great question had been settled In favor
Of free trade by the votes Of the American peo-
pie They have tried their experiment Free
trade has been weighed in the balance ana
found wanting" II ! am right in foretelling the
results OF, the coming eiection. then the decision
OF 1882 VII, not only be reversed but II VII! be
done with such an emphasis as t. settle the Pues-
ton IN favor OF protection for many years YET
10 come.
Hence Il is that the result Of the coming con
tests in the various States will be watched with
hreathlcss Interest Shall the next Congress be
in favor IL protection or not? That Is most I'M
portant question in every portion o! TINS Nepub-
lie
Can the city Of New-York be wrested from the
hands OF the brhe- takers and hlackmallers VINO
nov control IT, and be placed in the hands ~ de-
cent reputable citizens? That question Is not
only Of greai interest to every resident OF 'he
city but rs answer will be eagerly awaited by
the people Of this entire Nation. X G. Hokh
