The detection of the Louisiana sugar
planters may or may not be inconsequen-
tial; but whatever it is the Democratic
party will not offer the planters any
back.
However. the Louisiana sugar planters
appear at least TO have learned lesson.
They are turning en- masse to the Re
publican party, which helped them when
! they were assailing it, and whose his
tory on every page shows an unswery-
! ing adherence to the principles of pro-
! lection to every industry IN every part
of the land.-Mail and Express (Rep.).
They have learned very salutary les
son, and that is that the Democrats are
against bounties.
While there is little doubt that the Cal
wing of the Democracy are in a bad way
owing to the incursions of PopuliSm and
the ouarrels over the tariff, it would
! be wise for Republicans to withhold their
/ greetings of the disgruntled sugar plan
] tiers, who announce their detection from
| Democracy. These patriots are actuated
= by the high and holy motives of collect
! ing their bills against the government.
j They are recreants forsrevenue, boilers

quite as keen in their hatred of Repubii-

/ We're. save tn fie unpaid bills.-N. Y. Com
mercial Advertiser (Rep.).
! Certainly they are out for the revenue,
and they know that the Republican party
is the place to apply for it.
/ In the equation of politics. sugar on
the Democratic side will be put down as
an offset to silver on the Republican side.
The revolt of the sugar planters from the
Democratic side is a striking parallel to
the detection from the Republican party
OF Mr.. Jones and his Nevada associates. |
In both cases the general principle pro-
ducing the flop was the same, and that |
was self interest.-Washingto Star.
Those who think the flop of Senator
Jones from the Republican party is coun-
terbalanced by that of the louisiana |
sugar planters are doubtless happy in |
their conceit, but no Democrat will at |
tempt to say the Democratic party is the |
friend of bounties.
Recently the sugar planters of Louis
lana at a meeting held in New Orleans |
decided to go over into the Republican
party on national questions. because they |
could not trust, as they say. the Demo-
Gratis. They, however, claim that on local |
or state questions they should still be |
Democrats. This is a strange condition
of things. If there be any marked dis
tinction between the two great parties |
1t is and must always be on national ques-

If the Louisiana sugar planters want
bounties and must have them, they should
go to where they threaten to, the Repub-
lican party.
The most significant of recent political
events was the Sugar Planters convention
which was held in New Orleans on Thurs !.
df.v. 1t marked the beginning of break
in the ranks of the Democratic party in
the south, and it revealed that the wisdom
gotten into the heads Of at least few
of the southern peoPle.-Wilmingt (Del)
Morning News CRep.).
1t is very doubtful whether this revolt
of the sugar planters is the beginning of
q break in the Democratic party in the
south.
1t is all very well for the Louisiana
sugar planters to make a political somer- Ia
sault if they can reasonably hope to en-
rich themselves thereby. but the sugar
bounty buzzsaw is one of the most danger
Gus things they could possibly attempt TO
monkey with This is a free eelntry, how
ever, and go-as-you-p please politics is grow
ing every day amongst the people. Let
Louisiana make her battle as her plant
ers think best and gather the fruits of her
own effcrfs.-Philadelphia Times.
Let the sugar planters of Louisiana join r
any party they choose, that is their right |
but they have no right to demand bount-
les.
The bounty paid to the sugar planters
9f i LSuisiana last year amounted to to So

TO foster the sugar industry. Because
A Democratic Congress repealed the law

Let them turn their state over to the
Republican party if they can. but they
Will not turn the Democratic party into

The Democratic party is well rid of the
Louisiana sugar beggars and robbers.
Tncensed at the repeal by Democratic
Congress Of the bounty provided in the
Mckinley tariff law which enables them

sugar planters of that state, to the num-
Der of 800. have just held a convention in
New Orleans at which they unanimously
'esolved TO act in politics hereafter with
he Republican party.-Chicago Herald

Democrats who cannot accept Demo-
ratio principles and live up to them had
letter quit the party and join those with
ghom they sympathize politically. q
There is one peril to General Hastings
n the line of argument he has laid down
lpon which to run the campaign. What
re states about business depression and
Unemployed labor is quite true, but while .
lie was delivering his address reciting the e
alanities of Democratic rule, the revival "
e industry had already begun: and even 1,
n the capital of the state where his IL
peech was delivered, he might have II
eard the hum of spindles which have
ong been idle, and seen fresh smoke W
rom the mills and furnaces and facto- q,
ies surrounding it.-Philadelphia Times. "
No one will blame General Hastings for g
rying to lay the blame for hard times III
