Louisiana Pays the Piper

The Weekly Scimitar published at
Memphis. Tenn. has this to say anent
the actif of the lower house of Con
gress, affecting sugar tariff and bounty {:
The House, in Committee of the
Whole, has adopted an amendment to
the tariff bill, placing sugar Oh the free
list. The vote WAS 135 to 90, the six
Louisiana members voting in the neg
tive
Well might they, for the action of the
House, if sustained by the Senate, will
mean the destruction of the sugar-pro-
ducing industry in their State, and, in-
deed, in the whole country Every at
tempt on their p rt to substitute for the
Mckinley bounty IA duty on sugars,
such as existed prior to 1891, was over
wlrelmingly voted down. In vain did
they show by incontestible facts and
figures hat the sugar duties were es
sentially revenue duties, producing 80
per cent. of revenue TO 10 per cent. of
protection, and putting upwards of
$50 10000 year into the national
Treasury. The free trade nag had the
bit in his teeth and he trampled into
the dust these six representatives and
the 100000 sugar producers for whom
they pleaded.
In the abstract the action of the
House was just and proper the Demo
cratic principle ia that every tub should
stand on its own bottom; but we can
not help regetting that this promising
industry, the chief support of one of
the fairest States in the Union, should
be sacrificed to an idea, which may not
prove practicable after ALL
Louisiana must pay the free trade
piper. 1t remains to be seen whcth-
er the music will compensate the nation
for the 'nin of one Of its integral parts.
The Opelousas courier., 1894-02-17

What is to the interests of one sec
tion of Louisiana is to the interest of
the State generally, and this being the
fact we fail to see why so many citi-
zens of North Louisiana should be
camoring for the sugar industry
in me Southern part of the State. 1t
would seem that some of our worst
foes are those of our own household

1t will prove interesting news to the
citizens of Acadia to learn that efforts
are being made to secure government
aid to improve the Mermentau river.
Col, S. M. Robertson addressed the
Rivers and Harbors Commission at
Washington Monday, impressing upon
that body the Importance of water
navigation to the citizens along the
Mermentau and its tributaries, stating
that it is possible to secure more than $50
miles of navigable water. He described
the wonderful develovment of this sec
ton of the State and the growth of the
rice industry in Acadia and ST. Landry
parishes during the past five or six
years. There ia but little doubt but
that the Mermeptau will be improved,
and we hope at an early date. as the
river, together with its tributaries,
would give the people the benefit of
competitive freight rates and easier ac-
cess to the market for their crops. Ac-
cOrding to estimates that have been
made the cost of improvement would
not be very great.
