BOYCE, LA,
Sept. 9th 1895.
Editor Louisiana Democrat.
Alexandria, La:
Under the heading Of "I1e Gets
the Seed" was All article in the
1own Tall of Sept. 18th, saying
Mr.. Ball was paying even prices
with the Red River Oil Co., for
seed and was getting them too.
Mr.. Editor, what we farmers
want to know is, how can the
Standard Oil Co., represented by
Mr. Ball, pay seven dollars II ton
for seed at Alexandria and only
five dollars Il ton at Boyce. The
freight to New Orleans is the same
from both places. II Mr.. Ball is
the friend Of tue farmer AZ lie
claims to be, please ask him to
come up to Boyce aud give US fell
lows a chance to be his friends by
paying us seven dollars a ton for
our seed. | would also like you
to find out if the Standard is pay.
ing seven dollars a ton for seed in
Lpcompte and ChemeyvilIe or any.
where else but Alexandria.
1t looks to u, TURNER'S in the
country as if this was Il case of
paying because you had to, as OH
" the farmers in wagon distance
of the Red River Oil TO. are get
ting. the benefit OF these good
prices. III lived near Alexan-
dria, / think 1 would sell my seed
10 the fellow who put tue price OF
seed up aud not the one that fol:
low I'd because he had to do 10.
We farmers up here would like
mighty we'll to have all Oil Mill ia
take our seed, aid would promise
them to stand by them AS long Al
we got the benefit of the treigh,
for our wagon seed. Maybe the
Red River Oil Go. had better move
up here and if they would, VT
would stay with them better than
our Alexandria brethren seem tt
he doing, for We can see that BY
our not having an oil mill, tn.
Standard and other mills Gun Ouly
pay us five dollars u ton here
against seven at Alexandria, where

mosts obtuse exponent

The most obtuse exponent of
the foolish theory that the low
priee.of cotton last year was pro.
duced by the "crime of'73,D is now
compelled by the inexorable logic
of facts to admit that he was
wrong. The steady rise in the
price of cotton from less than 5
cents eight months ago to eight
cents to day, is an argument abso.
lutely demonstrating the fact
that everybody except. a few
lanatics have known all the time,
the price of cotton and every other
commodity is governed by the
laws of supply and demand. The
cotton farmers fully realize this,
and the result is that the "crime
of '73" will elect no man to office
in Louisiana in 1896 -(Baton
