The SUGAR Bounty.

| PRESIDENT CLEVELAND assured the
delegatian of New Orleans business
men that be realized that the sugar
| planters are entitled to the bounty on
last years crop and heartily favored
| it's payment. There is good reason to
believe that if the matter had rested
solely in the hands of the President,
the planters would long ago have re-
ceived the money which the Govern.
ment owes them, but no one can say
what the present Congress will or will
not do.-Daily States.
The Associated Bankers of New Or
leans, addressed a telegram to Hon.
william L. Wilson, chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee of Con-
gress, in behalf of the sugar planters
of Louisiana, recommending the pay
ment of the bounty for 1894. The
Manu- facturers' Record of Baltimore
Endorsed their action. The Meridian
News and Natchez Democrat of our
state also recommended the payment
of the bounty for last year. From a
candid review of all that has been said
on the subject, and the facts in the
case, we believe the government ought
to pay this money. The Mckinley
bill granted bounty of about two
cents per pound on home grown sugars
until the year 1905. Under, and en-
colraged by this law, the Louisiana
sugar planters increased their liabiii-
ty to enlarge their output of sugar.
This law was in operation during 1894,
and until the Wilson Tariff Bill went
into effect last August when the gov
without warning broke the
contract. 1t is certainly, morally, and
legally, bound to pay the bounty OF
1894, because the crop was planted
during the existence of the law, and
40 legislation should be made to take
immediate effect and strike down in
lustries it protected in process OF
growth with rutnless hand. Whilst |
he law was wrong in the beginning,
yet it was the law, and as such should
De honorably observed by the govern
nent.

Taxes and Officials.

This, as we'll as nearly all sections Of
the county, is being exercised bv the
high tax rate and the high rate of ex-
penditures and official salaries or per.
quisites. No improvement in any OF
these matters will ever be inaugurated
except by the people themselves,
through their representatives., who
shall make laws to change all the pres.
emit systems, and their Boards of Super.
visors who levy the taxes and dis
burse them. 1t is useless for the bulk
of property owners to complain and
continue to remain inactive in select
ing those who fill the offices. Human
nature is the same throughout all time
and as Burns says:
I'm no say, men are villains a.;
The real. hardend wicked,
VIVA hae nae check but human law,
Are to a few restricked
But Och! mankind are unco weak
An little to be trusted:
If self the wavering balance shake,
It's rarely right adjustedl
All men serving in Office under the
present perquisite system will strain
every avenue of income within the pale
of the law in order to get all they pos
sibly can out of the position, which is
nothing more than right. There is
a danger line, however, which the de-
sire of acquisition may induce some to
pass, aud that is when allowances are
made or fees collected under the shad-
ow of law, and where no equity or
real law exists. 1t is our opinion that
the whole fee system should be abol-
ished, and every man in all positions
put at salary. This would eliminate
all possibility of extortion and extrav-
agance, and reduce things to a fixed
basis upon which the people could be
assured of fair treatment and econom-
ic administration of affairs. The coup-
ty administrations cost the people too
much as at present constituted in
every branch, and it is with the people
how long such shall be the case. If
the question was agitated in the state
10y the press, and the people would
send representatives to the next legis-
.ature imbued with the idea of chang

not insult the intelligence of the read
ers of the TIMES by discussing our sub
ject in other than a candid manner
becoming matured farmers and bust
ness men. Milk to babies and meat to
strong men. What then is the actual
present condition of the farmers and
business men, it is but to repeat the
conclusion, which every farmer has
formed in his own mind to say that it
is nearly as bad as can be. The prom
Used recovery of prosperous trade on
the repeal of the Silver Bill, has not
transpired. As, indeed we all expected
the causes of depression lay too deep
to be disloged by such scratching on
the surface of trade conditions, the
financial condition only as affecting
banks has improved in consequence.
But the industrial situation is changed
not whit the better, thereby, whittier
it is because they delayed in this re-
peal, or because of its incompleteness,
am not able to tell. The melancholy
facts shuts out interest in the argu-
ment, it has not FASTENED the delayed
payment of public bills. 1t has not re-
lieved the tremendous strain on farm
ers, who with splendid courage and
marvellous patience have withstood
the storm. 1t has not brought COM
fort to the farmers who are the last,
and probably the severest sufferers in
the chain of unhappy consequence of
the consumers. 1t has not restored
labor to its earning opportunities.
Wise and patriotic as believe the
repeal of the silver purchase clause to
be in righting and outgrown financial
policy, it cannot, be denied that the
hopeful expectation built thereon,
have not been realized. Now, frankly
admitting that the past two years
have been most disappointing to the
farmers, and that the first two weeks
of Nov ember '94 capped the climax of
dull trade. without debating here,
whittier the cause of this letbargic
condition is to be found in our attitude
before the world on the question of
silver money, or in the undue expan-
sion of credit and the initiation of val
ues, or from concern as to the solution
of the tariff problems.
make a diversion here to say that
am not going to discuss stringency
which occurred in spite of the fact of
favoring natural conditions, for the
space at my disposal will not admit. 1
shall merely generalize my views by
expressing the belief that part of the
cause is in the timidity of legislators
who represent constituents rather than
patriotic principles, and who cringe to
local sentiment rather than rise to the
broad plane of craftsmanship. If there
were fewer time serving politicians in
the national Congress and more hard
headed patriots and business men, it
would be great good in financial leg
