The Democratic Party.

The Democratic party was founded
with the Government. It is as old
as our institutions themselves. It's
birth is co-eval with our independ-
ence. It is the only party that has
lived that long. 1t is not now weak
and senile; but it is young in power
and strength, and lusty in sinews,
and proud in the conquests of the
past. The reasons for this are found
in the principles and teachings of
the party. 1t is, and always has been
the party of liberty and freedom, of
law and justice. It is the defender
of the people, the great commoner
of the nation. 1t is the preserver Of
the original structure of the govern
ment, and our institutions. All we
have of liberty and right it has kept.
All We enjoy of State influence and
State government it has preserved.
It will be the same grand old party
in the future it has been in the past.
Renewed glories and conquests await
II in the time to come. It should
not be discouraged. It's followers
should not be bowed down. We
should rally to its support and
strengthening. Outside of the affairs
of the nation, we must look to our
State affairs. The Democratic party
has preserved and defended them.
We have prospered under the salu,
tary control of our great party. All
Of our interests have been promoted
and fostered. These things are in
danger. Let us see to it that we
still maintain and uphold its doc
trines and power, it's influence and
triumph. While defeat was around
us we have made good and success
full fight. Willie darkness surrounds
us we have been in the light. At
this time we should take encourape-
ment, and banding ourselves more
firmly than ever in the great brother
hood OF Democracy, should "stand
to our guns" and defy the enemies
Of our civilization and prosperity.

ment and commonweal.

Sound Views.

Mr.. James G. Clarke, president of
the Mobile and Ohio railroad, writes
as follows to the New York Herald {:
II am bimettalist 1 believe in
both gold and silver as good and
sound money. I think there should
be no discrimination, at the United
States mints, in the coinage of either
metal. I believe that our govern
ment could and should coin five hun
dred millions of silver, chiefly in
dimes, quarters and half-dollars, for
use and circulation in our own coun-
try; that the United States govern
ment should issue no paper money
in less denominations than $40, nor
coin any gold in less denominations
than SIS. Make all silver that is
coined by the United States govern
ment legal tender, at its face value,
for all debts, private and public, in
the United States. If our people
contract debts in foreign countries
they will in the future, as they have
in the past, pay their debts in the
lawful money of such countries,
where the debts are due.
eff international agreement can
be secured to recognize silver in all
countries, I am in favor of that, but
no silver that is coined by foreign
countries shall be legal tender in
the United States unless such foreign
countries shall make silver that is
coined by the United States govern
ment legal tender at it's face value
in such countries. If no internation-
al agreement can be made, then I
am in favor of our own government
coming silver for the free use and
benefit of our own people in the
prosecution of business and the de-
velopment of our country's resour-
ces, to whatever extent the country,
in it's growth, population, and busi-
ness, may from time to time require,
at sixteen to one, or whatever ratio
to gold the United States Congress,
acting for the whole people of our
country, shall determine is right,
just and proper, in the interest of
the American people East, West,
North and South"

LABOR AND IT'S PRoDUcTs.- Min
neapolis Tribune says: "The prices
of labor and products do not always
bear an exact ratio because labor
saving machinery and modern inven.
ton has so greatly increased the
power of human production. Thus
it happens that great many articles
are now sold much cheaper than they
used to be, although the average
wages paid the workers producing
them are higher. For instance, calico
that used to sell at 10, IL end Is
cents a yard can now be bought at
5 cents, but the wages of the opera
tives in the cotton mills have not
fallen in the same proportion, if at
all"
The Bossier banner., 1895-06-06
The Duty Of Industry.

There is duty of industry resting
upon every man. The law of all ma
tions is activity. Absolute inactivity
means death.
The human family is but complex
machine, every minutest part of
which has its particular work to do.
The failure of any part to do that
which is expected of it increases the
work of all the other parts, and so
the whole vast machine is made to
move more heavily.
It is the part of good citizenship
to seek usefulness and so to help on
the work of the world instead of
clogging it. We cannot fatter our
selves with the notion that if we do
not care to do our share of work we
can at least avoid doing harm-that
we can remain quiescent. The law
is action, and if we fail to play our
parts, we become dead weight and
are criminal in adding thus to the
burdens of our brethren.
Every man, woman and child, each
in his or her own sphere, should be
engaged in some work. The de-
mands of our nature are constant.
Everyone, therefore, should take part
in the work of production and sup
ply. This must be done either by
actually producing, by distributing,
or by aiding in securing such order
that production and distribution may
proceed uninterruptedly. But, all
should be engaged in some useful
employment, however humble it may
seem to be. All should realize the
high privilege it is to take part in the
worlds work-the shame, the GRIM
inality of idleness. In proportion
as all are actively employed about
that which is OF value, all will be
well-to-do, happy and contented.
These are truisms, but they are
not 30 thoroughly engrafted on the
n ind OF our youth as to make their
unnecessary. Let them be
enforced on all occasions, to the end
that the citizenship of our land may
b made what it should be.

Judge Jackson's Views.

Judge jackson, of the United States
Supreme Court, of the decision of the
majority of that court on the income
tax law rendered recently, says:
"This decision, in his opinion,
practically destroyed the power of
the Government to reach incomes. It
takes from Congress it's rightful
power to fix the rate of taxation and
substituted therefor a rule incapable
of application without imposing the
most monstrous inequality on the cit
liens of a common country. The de-
cision reversed the common rule of
taxation by exempting those who
were best able to pay and forcing the
burden upon the shoulders of those
least able to pay. In concluding,
Justice Jackson said in his opinion
the decision was the most disastrous
blow ever struck at the constitutional
power Of Congress. 1t struck down
an important, vital and essential
power of the Government. It left the
Government in case Of necessity with.
out power to reach by taxation in
any form the vast incomes derived
from the real and personal property
of the country.
"The decision, )" he concluded, els
a disaster and must be regarded as
public calamity"

DELAYS IN CRIMINAL CAsEs.-In re-

DELAYS IN CRIMINAL CASES. In re-
ferring to the several postponements
of the execution of DR.. Buchanan,
the wife murderer, the New York
Herald wisely says:
'Now that DR.. Buchanan has been
resentenced to death attention is
called to the delay in carrying out
the original sentence, which fixed the
time of his execution as the week
beginning October 2, 1898. Even if
no other methed of postponing the
penalty be found, and if the recently
imposed sentence be carried out in
the week beginning July l, 1895, the
man will have had stay of twenty
one months since his death was first
decreed.
Such delay is unjustifable. The
object of punishment-especially for
great crimes-should be chiefly to
deter others from committing them.
When a penalty is not paid until two
or three years after the crime for
which it is inflicted was committed
its deterrent influence is small.
Crimes are committed every day be-
cause the perpetrators have feeling
that they can fight off paying the
forfeit required by law until their
guilt is partly forgotten.
No one wishes an innocent man to
suffer one days punishment, but no
guilty man should be allowed years
of immunity; and the laws and legal
practices that produce such a mis-
carriage of justice should be reform
ed forthwith"

That REPUBLICAN NDA1LY.-Concern-
ing the threatened publication of a
Republican daily paper in New Or
leans, the Richland Beacon-News
thus exposes the scheme:
"a rather interesting story is told
concerning the payment of the de-
ferred sugar bounty, authorized at
the last session of Congress, and the
proposed establishment of Repub-
lican daily paper at New Orleans,
with capital of 100000. 1t seems
that the notorious Warmoth, was
the originator of the scheme. The
sugar planters pledged themselves
to invest in the stock of the pro-
posed paper certain per centage of
the amount received, if the bill au-
thorizing the payment passed Con-
gress and became law. President
Cleveland and the Democrats in Con-
gress were asked to endorse the bill
for the payment of the deferred su-
gar bounty, and the Republicans in
Congress were asked to support it
because a good portion of the money
paid would 60 towards the establish
ment of Radical daily paper at New
Orleans. The payment was author
lied, and s5,ooO,00o was appropri-
ated by Congress, but the Secretary
of the Treasury has not yet paid out
the money, and the threatened Re-
publican sheet still hangs fire."

1t is sad thing to see so many
idle boys and young men about our
little towns-boys and young men
who should either be in school or
engaged in some steady and useful
employment. We presume it is SO
about all towns. Idleness is a bad
thing for anyone, especially for the
young. When idle they become de-
moralized and contract habits which
unfit them for useful employment
besides as long as they remain idle,
they are cut off from the chances of
securing employment. Suppose new
merchant should come to town and
should want half dozen clerks; does
anyone suppose that he would take
them from the idlers to be found
around the streets? Not bit of it.
He would send abroad for clerks first
It is so in all lines of business. If a
boy or young man will 60 to work
at some useful employment and stick
to it, the chances are that it will not

er that he means business and some.
body will give him better job. At
any rate, any useful employment is
more honorable than idleness-

WICKED Russ1A.-The New York
Tribune says: .Day by day the
wickedness of Russia's conduct in
Eastern Asia becomes more apparent.
She is playing her old game which
she played in the Balkans, in Central
Asia and elsewhere with varying sue
cess. Disorder and anarchy are her
favorite methods. Intrigues, bribery,
and even violence and terror, are
used to overthrow the existing order.
Then she steps in with strong hand
as the savior of society and makes
the unhappy land satrapy of her
despotic empire. That is what she
would have done years ago in Bulga-
ria but for the genius and courage of
Stephen Stambulof. That is what
she is now trying to do in Corea and
will do unless the Japanese use all
their wit and all their valor to defeat
her. Already she has managed to
unsAftle the government and thwart
almost every effort for reform and
progress"

The year 1896 should work an era
of progress in the history of Louisi-
ana in the way of manufactures. If
there is one thing which Louisiana
needs more than another it is facto-
ries to make up the products of her
agricultural population. If Louisi-
ana would even make up half her
cotton and other products she would
be far more prosperous.

"Twenty-fve and thirty years ago
Indiana was the great stamping
ground for horse thieves, counterfeit
ers and land pirates generally" said
Chief Con. Meagher, of Terre Haute,
Ind. "There was kind of reciproc-
ity between Indiana and Michigan
thieves. Michigan thieves would run
their stolen horses into Indiana, and
thieves in the latter State would run
their stolen horses into Michigan
That was in the days when the timber
was heavy in some counties and the
swamps we're almost impenetrable.
The hoop-pole region in Indiana was
a great rendezvous for these pirates.
The horses were generally so disfg-
ured in their hands that their original
owners would hardly recognize them.
After they had been fixed up the ami
mails would be disposed of to farmers
and liverymen, and in some cases
shipped further south and sold.-
Stealing horses finally became such
crying evil that laws were enacted
making it capital offense. Nova
days horse stealing is rare, because
ofthe frequency of telegraph and tel
ephone lines, as we'll as from the fact
that the country is more thickly set
tied. Indiana is still afflicted with
counterfeiters, and with men who
deal in the queer There are fami-
lies in the State who for generations
back have either made counterfeit
money or dealt in it. II seems to run
in the blood to dabble in it. Most
of these counterfeiters live along the
Ohio River, and have branch estab-
lishments in Kentucky. Numbers of
connterfeiters are native Kentuckians,
or are descendants of Kentuckians."
