ting, forcing labor to theayery, verge
'of existence seems the policy of en-
ployers, and as natural result la
Dor revolts, and demands living
share IN what it produces. Capital
appeals to government which rec
ognizes the right of employers to
secure labor at their own price, and
the laborer is forced to accept what
the masters give.
There is evidently faliacy in
the principle somewhere, and I'M
less it is corrected there Can be but
one result. Our country will be
come a land of masters and slaves;
and it is not far from that now,
when a man needs not only to be
willing to work but must beg the
privilege, much less dictate his re-
compense for service honestly rem

THE CROP QUESTION.

Numerous Agricultural conven-
tons are being held in various
parts of the country for the purpose
of discussing the situation and find
ing a remedy for the depression in
the prices of farm products. The
conclusion seems to be unanimously
reached that panacea for all evils
existing rests in raising less for the
market and more for home con-
sumption. Unquestionably for the
small farmer this would be the
safest course, provided he were not
in debt and able to furnish his sup
plies while making the crop. But
unfortunately in Louisiana there are
any number who are in debt and
unable to furnish themselves.
These must have assistance, and
since the merchant will not advance
except OH cotton, cane or rice, 1t
becomes almost an impossibility to
attempt it. Moreover large planta-
tions cannot follow this method,
not only because it will not pay,
but also because being in the same
Condition as the petty farmers most
of them connot get the necessary
supplies. Diversified ia, ming would
succeed were it not that railroads
are not plentiful enough to furnish
quick transportation and at a rea-
sonable rate. The question of the
future then becomes 4 serious one.
1t will probably result in producing
similar crop which will be raised
more economically, but at the ex-
pense of labor which will necessarily
be forced to accept less.

TIE BROOK wv STRIKE.

The Brooklyn strike has terrni-
mated, and has resulted as all strikes
have resulted-in failure. 1t was
fight on the part of the street-car
employees for more reasonable
hours or more pay. on the part OF
the street-car nagnates against Or
ganized labor. On the one side
was a demand for justice, on the
other capital reducing labor to its
will. It was not a question OF
money with the employers for they
preferred losing s55ooc, IS has
been shown positively, to yielding
to demands which would not in
volye one fourth the amount.
Moreover, they chose rather to call
the power of the State costing the tax
payers $40, 900 or $50. 900 for pro-
lection rather than to submit TO the
dictation of their employ ers, as
they put it. In other words, the
capitalists take refuge behind the
principle that man has the right
to pay what he chooses anu II TESTS
with the laborer to take it or leave
it. The strikers, on the other hand
claim that days work should be
paid for in value. In one respect
the capitalists were right; but since
conditions are such that labor now
can not .'leave it," but must accept
what the employer offers, it be-
comes necessary that labor make
some effort to secure full value for
its work, since justice no longer
dictates the course Of the employer
class The strikers acted upon that
basis; they had the sympathy Of
all good men; but sympathy does
not avail much before the Eayonets
of the State.

THE RIGHTS OF LABOR.

The principle that man has
right to employ whom he plesses at
as low price as he can; abstractly
considered sounds just and right;
but unfortunately its practice more
often works harm than good. It is
just such q principle as the capt
talists want, for it enables them to
take advantage of the necessities of
the poor. 1t is well enough to say
that man needs not work unless
ne wishes or the pay suits; but it is
ssss0 often the case that the man can
s0t choose; it is a matter of com

REDucZ1Ov or TAXES:

In another colun of this paper VIII
be seen resolutions adopted by the
citizens of the first and second
wards at meeting held at Scott on
Saturday last. These resolutions set
forth that owing to the low prices
of farm products which prevail and
the poor prospects of enhancement
the assessment for parochial and
State taxation, although previously
satisfactory, should be lowered SO
as to allow a reduction of taxes in
proportion to the general depression
of values. This to our thinking, is
fair, and we may add, imperative,
under the present conditions. Af-
ter all, values of land and other
taxable property, "rise and fall' &C
cording to the financial fluctuations
of the hour, and the prices of
landed estate are, IS Z great measure,
if not exclusively, dependent upon
what its fruits will yield in the
market. No one will invest in it
unless the revenues assure reason
able interest on the capital.
At the present time it takes two
and a kalf bales Of cotton to realize
what one bale would have sold tor
two years ago and still the same
amount of capital and labor is re-
quired to produce one bale now that
it did then
The same may be said of the
values of all things used on the farm
such as horses, mules, etc. To-
day these necessities of the farm are
at least 50 per cent lower than last
yeat. Indeed it would be crying
Injustice should the assessments be
kept at their present figures.
We note with pleasure that the
expenses of the parish for this year,
as appears in the report of the bud
get committee in the Police Jury
proceedings published in this paper,
have been reduced and are over
two thousand dollars less than last
year. This shows that our police
jurors appreciate the present condi-
ton of affairs and are bent upon re-
lieving the people as much as pos
sible. We hope that when they will
sit as board of reviewers after
the taking of the assessment, they
will act, as is their wont, with equity
and justice. We may add, however
that we believe the Police Jury will
not have occasion to reduce the as
sessments as the assessor will will
ing1y do so.
