Absolute free trade" and the
"free and unlimited coinage of sill

been completely exploded. The
first can never be realized until the
people consent to direct taxation,
or learn to run the government
without expense. The second can
not be done without proper safe
guards either the United States
must pledge it's faith to bolster up
the value of silver. and tax the
people for this purpose, or she
must unite with the nations of the
world and agree upon the proper
value of silver as related to gold.

coLFAx. GRANT PARISH La SATURDAY. JANUARY IS. 1879


In the midst of the general de-
preston that has been of world
wide prevalence, we are glad to
note that the farmers are making
efforts to secure relief. An i'm
mense cotton convention was held
at jackson, Miss, last week, and
another at Shreveport this week,
and some pertinent and practical
measures have been proposed. The
general idea seems to be a decrease
of the cotton acreage, coupled with
raising of more meat and bread
at home. One of the most hopeful
means of relief is the building and
establishment of factories in all
portions of the South. This latter
we regard as the real key to the
door of progress. There is no reas-
on in the world why factories and
mills of all sorts may not be sus-
tanned at a hundred points in
Louisiana. We look for Colfax,
and Pollock, and Montgomery, and
Boyce, all to have thoir cotton
mills, oil mills, broom factories,
ceoperies, canneries, ETC., in few
years. In fact, we have long won-
dered that Alexandria, with its
great pretensions of being a city,
has not long ago done something
substantial in this line. Those
who act first in this matter will
reap the harvest.

A Statesman in Embryo.


Two weeks ago we endeayored
to give our cranky Bro. Machen an
idea of what was meant by the word
intrinsic" as applied to the value
of the precious metals, gold and
silver. It appears, however, that
he is as incapable of an idea as he
is devoid of courtesy and reason.
We notice something over a col
umn of slush from him in the last
issue of the Populist, in which he
goes out of his way to bestow some
low-fung personal abuse upon us,
e contemplate exhibition of i'll will
that was as uncalled for and unpro-
voked as it is malicious and vile.
We feel sorry for him in his weak
ness and incompetency to reply
with an argument to a we'll stated
proposition, but he must pardon us
for opposing his ideas on the inan-
cial question.
If we mistake not he is an advo-
cate of the proposition that will
enable man to take IS cents worth
of silver to the q. S. mint and have
it coined into a dollar, and then
force the farmers to take that same
dollar for 100 cents worth of their
produce. That may be all right
for the "silver bug" but we don't
think it is fair on the farmer.
Again, we believe Bro. Machen's
theory, if put into practice, will en-
able q man to have an ounce of sill
YER coined into dollar, and then
by adding IL cents to his dollar he
could buy two more ounces of sill
yer and have them coined into two
dollars; and SO ON, without limit.
This may be fine system for the
money-cbangers and spectators,
but we do not believe the masses
of the people are in favor of any
such project.
These homely propositions we
believe fairly illustrate the logical
absurdity of most of the political
measures he has advocated of late.
We differ with him on them, and
to the best of our ability try to give
q reason for such difference.
Bro. Machen may be the coming
man" asort of statesman in embryo,
as it were, but we fail to see it On
the contrary we fear he is mislead
and carried away with foolish po-
litical heresies, and brimful Of un-
reasoning prejudice, with perhaps
spice of personal ambition to
spur him on, and We shall exercise
our privilege of refuting his theo-
RES, and discharge the duty of crit
icising his public expressions, and
warning the public against his
folly.

Legal Tender and the Govern
ment Stamp.
New Orlesns Picaynne.J

The Winn Parish Comrade, an
organ of the Peoples party, in its
issue of Dec. ~, says:
Every Supreme court decision upon the con-
stitutionaIity Of money. since 1919 has held that
was the legal tender prerosstfvs, and the mate
rial employed need not necessarily be gold. sill
Yer Q. paper Mr.. tiffany, the greatest expouI,-
terisi may be used for the purpose Of coiinins
money that is capable Of receiving and retaining
the impression. and that the value is in the
stamp" and mot" in the material.
It is undoubted that Congress can
make money of gold, silver, paper,
or other material, and declare it to
be a legal tender; but that does not
compel any body to accept it in the
way of business. Any legal tender
money may be rendered in pay
ment of claims; but that is the ex-
tent of the legal tender power. So
long as the government receives its
legal tender money for taxes and
customs dues, and maintains its
value by paying gold for it when
offered fol redemption, the govern
ment's issues of all sort are just as
good as gold; but when the govern
ment can no longer make good its
guarantees, such discredited money
legal tender though it be, will de-
cline in the market to the extent
to which it has been discredited.
Let it be known that the Govern
ment cannot redeem its notes in
gold, but is only able to pay them
in silver and it will soon be realiz-
ed that they viii lose standing. in
the business Of the country, just as
the greeubacks did for about a doz-
en- years after the close of the civil
war. Gold was held at premium,
and, as consequence, it went ont
