you ont of business, but it enables
him to get your ships also, and at
a much lower price than he could
possibly build them himself. Nor
is this all, he can absolutely pre-
vent any one else from ever put

l see now, my son, the force of
your remarks. It's infamous.
Yes, pa, and he can also put up
the price of freights like he did
his apples, when your stock was
gone.
Yes, by JOve that's so TOO. Why,
d-m Il Subsidy, what a fool I've
been to ever endorse such IL thing.
L am surprised that you should
ever have done so pa.
Well to tell the truth all the pa

what a good thing they were and
like a fool | joined i'll the insane
cry without ever stopping to in
vestigate for myself. COnfOund
the papers anyway. l wonder if
they lie about every other thing
the same way!
Would it not be a good idea pa,
to investigate the money question
and the tariff question and
Yes, and the railroad question,
and the land question too. Say,
my son, that's POpulism isn't it!
Pretty nearly so, think.
Well, if it was to do over again
I'd chance a POpulist ticket at d

The Only Party Which Made
Gains.

Perhaps after some of our es-
teemed contemporaries have quite
finished talking about 1.-THE decline
of Populism," 1.-The bursting Of
the Populist bubble" and the like,
they may have time to note that
the Peoples party was tho one
party in the late elections which
cast a larger vote than it polled in
the United States in 1892. Nearly
2,OOO,O 900 Populist votes were
counted this year, while in 1882,
with the stimulus of Prcsiden-
tial election, only l,0il, ,026 were
cast. Democratic leaders and jour
mails that ignore these significant
figures are guilty of the most stu
pendous folly. There cannot be
2,O00,O 900 Populist votes cast in
1896 and a Democratic president
elected, for POpulism's later gains
have been in Democratic Statcs.-
Chicago Times, Oem.)
The Louisiana populist., 1894-12-14
Solid Truth.

A thing is right or wrong, no
matter what you believe about it.
All the people in the world believ-
ing a wrong would not make it
right. All the people once be-
lieved the earth fiat, but it was
globe just the same. All of you
may believe in the ''intrinsic" idea
of money, but it is a fallacy just
the same and as easily disproven
as the physical fact of the worlds
shape, if you will but investigate.
You are always more positive in a
statement you have never studied,
can give no valid reason for, than
about things you have some knowl-
edge. If man disputed your
, method of spelling word you'd
90 to some authority to prove
your position, and you would be
foolish if he brought you equally
good authority and more of them,
if you should refuse even to look
at them. But you do this very
thing about political questions that
involve your very existence. You,
therefore, deserve your present
conditions, you deserve poor pay,
discharge from employment, pow
erty and misery. These pressing
you hard enough will cause you to
use your reason or die, and if you
remain wilfully blind, and by it
injure not only yourself, but thou
sands about you, your life is not a
blessing but bane. Real up
Facts and Figures.
The Louisiana populist., 1894-12-14

The Peoples party has doubled
its vote in nearly every State in
the union in two years, has nearly
twice as many congressman and,
unless something strange turns up
will hold ths balances of power i'll
the senate. They should be proud
of their record for two years.
Keep the ball rolling and in 1896,
the ''year for jubilee" will come.

THE ONLY PARTY.

Labor arganized or unorganized
will have to wake up to the ne
cessity of a permant alliance with
the only party that by its profes-
sion of faith declares itself the
friend of humanity, and opposed
to all monopolies and trusts. The
bushwacking policy of figuring
with the old parties to secure
nominations and elections of in
dividuals by a combination of
votes, will never accomplish any
thing. We must have an organ
lied army in which numbers count
to wit, majority; and when this
is attained, and not till then, and
in and through the Peoples party,
can we hope for relief and the en-
actment of just laws. We are
gaining in numbers daily, and the
moment that labor becomes a unit
in the demand for justice through
the old party of the people, that
moment victory will perch upon
our banners and the jubilee chorus
will be heard from ocean to ocean.

/. We demand national cur
rency, safe, sound and flexible, is
sued by the general government
only. full legal tender for all debt
public and private, and that with
out the use of banking corpora
tiOns; a just, equitable and efficient
means of distribution, direct to the
people, at a tax not exceeding 3 per
cent, be provided, as set forth i'm
the sub treasury plan of the Farm
ers' Alliance, or some better system
also by payments in discharge OF
its obligations for public improve
mentS.
a. We demand free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to l.
b. We demand that the amount
of circulating medium be speedily
increased to not less than $50 per
capita.
C. We demand a graduate H.
come tax.
d. We believe that the money
of the country should be kept as
much as possible in the hands OF
the people, and hence we demand
that all State and national revenue
shall be limited to the necessary
expenses of the government, eco
nomically and honestly administer
ed.
e. We demand that postal saw
ings banks be established by the
government for the safe deposit OF
the earnings of the people and to
facilitate exchange.
2. Transportation being a means
of exchange and public necessity,
the government should own and
operate the railroads in the inter
est of the people.
a. The telegraph and telephone,
like the post Office system, beng a
necessity for the transportation OF
news, should be owned and opera
ted by the government IN the in
terest of the people.
3. The land, including all the
national resources of wealth, is the
heritage of all the people, and
should not be nOnopOlized for spec
ulative purposes, and alien owner
ship of land should be prohibited
All land now held by railroads and
other corporations in excess Of
their actual needs, and all lands
now owned by aliens, should be re
claimed by the government and
held for actual settlers only.

The following answer to a ques-
ton appears in the last annual la
Dor report of Michigan: Eight
in family makes "a meals per day
or 72O per month. Wages, S32
per month, less 81 for rent, leaves
$25; so meals must not cost over
3tc each. No books, no clothes,
no wood, no coal" But look at
the tariff he gets !-tEx.
The Louisiana populist., 1894-12-14

The New York World says that
the Populists voted over 100000
more votes in 1894 than in 1892,
and well concludes that no wise
man can treat such a party with
contempt or ridicule.-Monroe
Bulletin.
Our figures are agood deal high
er, but that is pretty good ad-
mission from Democratic head
quarters. 1t is expressly under
stood, however, that this admission
will not prevent Democratic pa
pers, all over the country from
claiming in 1896, that the Popu-
lists are dead.
The Louisiana populist., 1894-12-14
Amen.

The new South wants honest
elections, needs a free ballot, and
will insist upon a fair count. 1t
will be content with nothing less,
for its face is to the future and it
clearly sees that our sectional hon
or, prosperity, good order and
magnetism for capital and popula-
ton demand that freedom of speech,
liberty of political opinion, and
the safety of every citizens suf-
frage should prevail in the South
as surely as elsewhere in the Union.
Those who would prevent the
granting of such privileges and
rights in the South are her worst
and most despicable enemies. They
talk democracy and practice de-
bauchery and tyranny. They must
be beaten, driven from place and
power, their schemes abolished and
their records of villainy made odi-
GUS against revival and repetition.
The day of the new, clean, honest
South is dawning, thank God, and
It's full splendors and successes will
be upon us sooner than we believ-

What is a merchant marine, pa!
Why, l mean trading vessels.
Don't we have trading vessels
now!
No.
l thought there were lots of
ships coming in and going out of
our harbors all of the time.
So there are, but they all belong
to the blasted foreigners.
Don't we own any ships!
Mighty few on the ocean, l tell
you now. Why! nearly all of our
wheat, meats, live cattle, cotton
and petroleum is shipped abroad in
foreign steamships.
Why don't we build and sail
ships!
We are going to after this. Why
just think of it, my son. The
100, 900 Americans who visit Eu-
rope every year pay the foreign
steamship companies $40, 100000 a
year just for passage money. Oh,
its awful to think how this country
has been drained of money that
should have been paid to Ameri-
can ship owners.
How does it happen, pa, that we
don't have ships now!
Oh, the tariff has been too low.
We can't compete against the pau
per labor of Europe.
Didn't we use to do a large share
of the carrying trade of the world!
Yes, back in the ''fifties" our
flag floated on every sea. AT that
tims we had one-third of the ton
mage of the whole world, and did
one-third of the carrying trade of
the world.
How did we ever get those ships,
pa!
Why, we built them. The ship
yards of Maine, New Hampshire
and down the colst, were the busi-
est places in the country. Now
they are as silent as a last years
birds nest.
Didn't there use to be paupers in
Europe. pa!
Yes. What do you ask such
a foolish question as that for
There have always been papupers
there and always will be if they
allow kings and czars to stride
their backs as they always have
done.
1 was wondering if European
pauper labor kept us from build
ing them back in the ''fifties. /"
Why-ah-why-let me see.
why, we must have had a big tariff
then.
No we didn't, the tariff wasn't
half as high then as 1t is now. The
Walker tariff passed in 1916 was
the lowest ever known.
Well, I-say, have you got that
job done that / put you at at!
Yes, and
See here, yougo to saving wood
1 must 60 to the store.
But, pa, you said when l go
done could play.
Well run off and play then.
Wait a minute, pa; what did yor
mean by saying our government
had come to its senses at last!
Oh, yes; why, congresshas pass
ed a law granting subsidies to
steamship line that will now ena
BILE us to float our flag.
What is subsidy, pa!
Why it means that the govern
ment will pay these favored steam
ers a certain amount of money
each month. This in addition t.

The Louisiana populist., 1894-12-14

Will every steamship line get
$50, 900 a month!
No, no, only one line to Asiatic
ports, one to European and one to
South American.
Is it fair play for the govern
ment to pay one line and refuse to
pay it to other lines!
Why; ah why yol see it would
never do to try to pay it to all who
wish to build ships. 1t would
bankrupt us.
Now, pa, you say the govern
ment which guarantees equal rights
to all and SPECIAL privileges to
none is giving such large sums to
one particular line only.
Yes.
Where does the money come
from to pay these subsidies. Is it
collected by taxationl
No. Well yes, it amounts to
that; it is collected in various ways
but simmered down it is taxation.
Everybody pays tax does he not.
Yes no one escapes except bond
holders.
These steamship companies that
don't get a subsidy are taxed aren't
they!
Yes, of course they are.-
Everything has to be taxed a
little higher on account of the sub
sidies doesn't it!
Why, yes, little higher l sup
pose.
And these other lines running
steamships to-well, say South
America!
Yes these are.
They don't get any subsidy!
No. What of it? What are
you driving at now! You better

Wait a minute, pa; | want to
show you how this thing will work.
(Old man interested). Well
Now, let us suppose for the sake
of argument, that that you was
the owner or q large stakeholder
in the line that is not subsidized,
and old Jones who is bucking you
so hard in the grocery business
was the owner or large stock
holder in the subsidized line, and
you were competing with each
other for the carrying trade be-
tween the two countries. What
kind of a chance do you think you
would stand in the South Ameri-
can carrying business?
Why! Why! by jOve, l would
not stand any show at all. The
old rascal would simply put down
rates so low that 1 would run at
a loss.
| Then what would you do?
Why l should simply have to
quit.
Is that all!
Yes, what else could do!
Wouldn't You be obliged to sell
your ship!
Oh, yes, of course.
Who do you think would want
to buy ships that didn't pay to
run!
Why, no one of course. / hadn't
thought of that. BY gum, they
would be a dead loss sure.
Isn't it probable that after a
while old Jones would employ
some secret agent to make you a
low offer for them!
Yes. 1t would be just like. the
old scamp to do that very thing
Didn't he serve me just that kind
