SILVER AND OTHER PRODUCTS.
A Mischievous Proposition of tho white
Metal Extremiats.

A Mischievous proposition OF tho white
Metal Extremists.
Silver is an important product of
the United States. The quantity
turned out in 1894 would be worth
s64,0Oo,oo0 if sixteen ounces of
the white metal were equal in
value to one ounce of gold, as falsely
claimed by the free silver extremists.
Actually it was worth only about s32,-
100000 in the markets of the world or
so per cent. of the $40, 500, 900 worth of
gold produced in this country last
year. So the extremists are demand
ing that the less shall rule and exclude
that which is one-fourth greater in ag-
gregate value, The mischievous char
acter of the proposition to discriminate
against every other interest in favor of
silver becomes still more apparent
when we look at the following figures
of average annual value of few of
our agricultural products for the last

The Suffrage Amendment.

iIc HuuIdSS AiuCAtuAi'
The old line Republicans, and
the few negro leaders who are
making a last struggle for politi-
cal life, are denouncinG very bit
terly, the suffrage amendment,
because, they say, it will unJnstly
descreminate against the negro,and
deprive him of his right of sui
frage. Here i'll this parish we
find the condition of things entire
" the reverse. All the politicians
we have conversed with are op-
posed to the amendment because
it will deprive a large percentage
of the white voters of the right OF
casting their votes for the politl-
clans who manipulate these vot-
ers. The negro being intirely
eliminated from polite in this
parish is not taken in considera-
ton in discussing the suffrage
amendment simply because he is
an out-of-date issue, but il the
amendment is adopted the negroes
of this parish will not suffer from
it for the simple reason that they
do not meddle in our political at
fairs. but the blow will be directly
upon the large number of illiterate
white voters. One of them was
heard to remark that before h'
was deprived of his vote he woul'
would take his gun, and a revolu
ton would follow.
The Messenger is strongly II
= favor of the amendment and hope
, that it will be adopted. We full,
| understand that it will disqualif
some good old citizens, but we be
: lieve it will have benificial etfec
1 and will be an incentive to our pee
: pie to educate their children

The statement by Gov. Foster
he is not alarmed at the opposition
manifested toward him, reminds
us of the celebrated remark made
by Gen. Phil Sheridan, when h5
was sent here over 20 years ago to
crush the people, who objected to
being crushed, and let him know
it. That remark. it will be re-
membered, was: 81 am not afraid.
But the people won. They whom
Sheridan had designated as BAN

The Lake Road.

Messrs. 4. V. Fleming and
Chas Gutekunst who made a
survey of the Lake Marsh where
the new road in that section is
proposed, reported to the
Board of Trade Friday, last week.
The marsh is 400 feet long, and
Mr.. Fleming's estimate of that
bridge, is not less than $4,000.
Mr.. Gutekunst, who is civil en-
gineer, submitted report which
we think better, more feasible,
cheaper and certainly more lasting
than a bridge. He suggest ter
race made of willow cribs or mats
and dirt, and two bridges OF fifty
feet each. 1t is said that there is
an abundant supply of willows on
the spot that can be had at small
cost. Mr.. Gutekunst made de-
tailed statement of the probable
cost of this work which will hard
ly 60 over $500.
The suggestion of MIR. Cute
kunst was approved bv the Boarc
of Trade, and a committee com
posed of Messrs. III. P. Fournet
Edw. E. Soulier and j. A. Guerir
has been appointed to secure sig
natures of the taxpayers OF thu
town, which petitions will be pre-
scented to the town council, pray
ing that body to submit to tn
taxpayers an election to levy
special tax of three mills for thre
wears. A tax of three mills will
be light on the tax payers, it vii
only amount to about $500 yeal
for only three years.
If the result OF the increase G
trade by the opening of this roa
is according to our estimate, on
expense of the bridge will prov
a good investment.
Let us hope our people will nc
oppose the special tax.

Better Time Coming.

In reviewing the business OF the
current year, in the books OF the
Messenger, we were somewhat
surprised when we came to the
realization of the fact that not a
single sheriffs sale was published
in the Messenger since the first
day of the year. In looking over
the files of our contemporary who
have the patronage of the sheriff,
we only found two or three sales.
We went further and inquired at
the court house concerning the
suits entered against our planters
for, non-payment Of obligations,
and there are very few if any at
all.
This is certainly favorable
showing, and an indication that
our people are in better circum-
stances today then in former
years, they are out of debt and in
a position to meet their obliga-
tiOns.
The sign of prosperity can be
seen every where, in the country
as we'll as in the town; even in
the columns of the Messenger the
change can be noticed, instead Of
being crowded with legal notices
headed "Sheriff's Sale" one will
notice large nicely displayed adj
vertisements of our live, wide
awake merchants, who are all do
ing large, safe, cash business.

Protect Home Interests

We are glad to know that our
young friend Harold Barnes has seen
fit TO clear himself OF even the sus-
picion Of having inspired the News's
article on advising people to trade
away from home. We should be still
more glad II the sentiment had not
been expressed by any one living In
Abilene. But as everybody knows,
the temporary manager Of the News
has no personal interest aside from
eating and drinking) in the material
prosperity Of this city, but respect
for the owners Of the paper should
have been some check upon his free
trade utterances. Free trade was one
Of the cardinal principles upon which
the southern coniederacy was founded
and to which s. X. Strother still ten
aciously clings. 1t has no place
though in the economic principles Of
this republic and will never be es-
poused by any number Of our citi-
zens.
We are informed by one Of Abb
lene's leading ministers that the clti-
zens Of the towns within few hours
ride Of Chicago have found 1t neces-
sary to enter into an agreement not
to do any trading outside Of their
own city. They found that the large
department stores were drawing
nearly all Of the home trade while
business In their own town was stag
nant. We presume all places located
near large ccnters are compelled to
resort to the same device.
The citizens Of town and sur
rounding country should recognize
the fact that the success Of Its bust
nessmen is the success Of the entire
community and anything that tends
to hurt them is sure to DO felt
throughout the entire county.
Again we say, stand by your own
interests, do your trading with the
citizens Of your own county, for in
this way only can a community be-
come prosperous.
