For the want of argument the
big guns of the Democratic party
bring up some of the silliest trash
against the Populists that any
school boy ever made use of in
kangaroo kort."
Think Of U. S. Senator Blan-
chard footing up all the bills ever
introduced by Populists in Con-
gress, and claiming that the total
was the amount of money which
they desired to appropriate
The Populists have too much
real argument against the Demo
Gratis to fool away time with such
nonsense. If they were to add up
the appropriations called for by
one years offer of Democratic
bills, it would stretch the Arabic
system of notation to express the
amount, one bill Senator Palmer's)
calling for 6S billions, but we are
too much worried with the size of
actual appropriations made by them
to Carnegie, Havemeyer,. Roths-
child & Co., to notice their at
tempted measures.

Government OWnershIp OF Rail-
roads No Good.

The government owns and Ope-
rates the railroads, street railways,
waite. works, docks, telegraphs,
telephones, etc. there are 2,577
miles of railroad in the Colony, of
which but 81 miles are owned by
private parties. In 1894 there
were 100000 passengers car
ried at one and two-tenths cents
per mile.
Total earnings were in 1894. -. e3, ,S13, 541
Total working exps in 1894. -, 592, 842
Net earnings. .............. 81, 221 500
All government mail and freight
were carried free. All employees
work eight hours per day. Engi-
neers receive $3.50 and common
labor Sl.90 per day.
The consul says: "By defying
the cry of socialism the govern
ment saved 100000 acres of
valuable land and borrowed money
10 build the roads at 4 per cent and
to-day the land which the govern
ment would have had to give the
corporations to build the roads, is
worth more than the total cost of
the system. New South Wales
owes $3.50, 100000, but the utili-
ties built by this debt yield 81, ,500,-
600 annually more than the inter-
est on the debt. From report of

In answering an article in the
Enterprise of September 10th, re-
fiecting upon our nominees for
justices of the Peace in two coun-
try wards, we have been accused
of misquoting. We made no eff
fort to quote, but simply took the
article for the meaning it intend
ed to convey. The following is
its language:
1--WE have been reliably inform
ed that the Populists have, in at
least two instances nominated for
Justices of the Peace men who
can barely write their Names"

You can hire two men one day
for two dollars now. Formerly
Won could hire but one man one
day for two dollars. Are men de-
preciating. Appeal to Reason.
We should smile. A laborer
gets fifty cents down here, and the
stableman charges one dollar per
day for a horse. According to
this, a man is worth half as much
as horse, or about thirty dollars.
Why, a common negro slave used
to be worth three or four hundred
dollars. Money must have ap-
preciated, or men deprecated.
Fine state of affairs, when two
men are worth only one horse.

Our esteemed neighbor must be
Joking by inviting all free coinage
Populists, which means all Popu-
lists, to come back to the Demo-
cratic fold. It has never advoca-
ted the free and unlimited coinage
at a ratio of 16 to 1. Does not
want a white primary, and conse
quently, indirectly favors or says
nothing against fraudulent elec-
tions.
It's h-l and high water editori-
al made q good many Pops feel
like coming back. We presume it
wants us to be on hand when the
picnic comes off to furnish the
h-H, they to take scater no matter
how high it will be.
Neighbor, we want harmony as
badly as you do, and your kind of
harmony. Cease advocating your
principles and come Nth us. We
sciH take care Of you. Now let us
see if you want harmony. If you
do, come over. Practice what you
preach. Harmonize. We are
willing to harmonize, provided you
do the harmonlzing, we will do the
balance.

In company with Messrs. Jno.

attended a Populist meeting near
MarcoviIle, in ward 10 last Satur-
day, and had the pleasure of adj
dressing 30 or 40 enthusiastic
Populists with 2 or 3 good-natured
Democrats, who joined in with the
Pops in endorsing our speech.
The Populists are practically
solid in that ward.

The first gun of the campaign
should have been fired in Caddo at
the great vindication meetings. 1t
was expected that the echo Of that
gun would have set North Louisi-
ana in a blaze of enthusiasm for
the political machine, but the first
gun was petered and the glorious
enthusiasm is still shrouded in
doubt and uncertainty. The first
guns have been fired in Rapides
and in Natchitoches, but the echoes
have so far had no effect in rous-
ing the unterri6ed to action

FRIDAY, OCT. a, 1895.
Go to the primary tomorrow
Saturday and vote for your choice.

If the silver forces IN the Dem
ocratic party are defeated it will
bc ON account of fraud and the H.
legitimate use of money and pat
ronage. If this will not justify
the masses in leaving the party we
don't know what would. Every
man who has backbone will do so.

OUR PRIMARIES.

IN Saturday, October 5th, the
Populists of old Natchitoches par
| ish will select their standard bear
ers for the approaching campaign.
Every person who has heretofore
affiliated with the Peoples party,
or who desires in future to do so, is
invited to participate in this Sc
lection.
The humblest man in the party
will vote on an equality with the
shrewdest or wealthiest, and his
vote will count for as much. The
voice of the people will be heard,
and will become the law of the
party, which is true Democracy.
The schemes and combines and
dickers of conventions will be un-
known, and the voter will vote di-
rect for his choice, and have it
counted.
The convention which follows
the primary will only complete the
work which the primary fails to
accomplish, and will re-organlze the
party for the campaign.
Before the people in this prima-
ry, are good men and true, for the
offices of Clerk and Sheriff. Eve
ry one of these men is thoroughly
identified with the interests of our
parish, is fully competent to fill
the Office to which he aspires, and
would be an honor to the party if
elected.
The campaign for the most part
has been conducted upon an honor
able plane, and free from any and
all bitterness. and it will be no
trouble for the party ranks to close
up after next Saturday, and march
on to victory next April.
We hope that everybody will
turn out and exercise his choice in
this primary, because we honestly
believe the ticket selected will win,
and we would like it to be a thor
oughly representative ticket-the
choice of the majority of the peo-
pie.
We have our personal choice
amongthe candidates, and we would
like very much TO see them win,
but if they do not, we will grace
fully submit to the will of the ma
jority, and work only the harder
for the success of our ticket. We
would injure only ourselves by
tagging or suiking over defeat in
the primary. ''As We would have
others do to your choice if he were
to win. do We even so to theirs" is
the golden rule in this instance.

A DISTINGUISHED PARTY.
Guests of Messrs. T. e. Nash, l.. II
Alexander and F. Garrison.

Last Friday four extra coaches wei e
attached to the regular passenger train
on the st. Paul road. The coaches were
day coach, sleeper, dining and baggage
car, having on board full complement
of chefs and other underlings. The
extra train was bound for Star Lake and
had on board some of the highest
officials of the St. Paul road. railroad
officials of other roads and paper manu-
facturers, who were all going north on a
fishing expedition. Among those on
board were: A. J. Earling, general
manager of the st. Paul system; w. D.
Underwood, assistant general manager
of the same system; +. j Foster,
superintendent of the Wisconsin Valley
Division; Col. Hayes, vice president
and general manager of the Wabash
system; President Graham, of the
Graham Paper Co., of ST. Louis; Thos.
E. Nash, president and general mana
ger of the Nekoosa Paper Co., of
Nekoosa +. Garrison and L. NJ. Alex
ander, president and secretary of the
Centralia Pulp & Water Power Co., of
Centralia
They spent week hunting and fish
ing at Star Lake and enjoyed a
delightful time. They made several
fine catches during their stay. They
arrived in the Twin Cities Wednesday
night and were shown all the points OF
interest in this vicinity. They left
Thursday evening with many kind
words in praise of the gentlemen who
had them as guests on this outing.
In answer to the query, "What is the
outlook for business the coming summer
and fall" Col. Hayes, of the Wabash
system, said: "The outlook is very
good indeed. The fact Is that the
farmers will have a good crop, but the
principal reason for the revival of
business is that the Democrats are
practically out of power. While
Cleveland is still president, yet the
Democratic party is powerless to do
any more harm. The fact that no one
expects that the Democratic party will
cut any figure in the coming presi-
dental election-or in other words the
Democratic party is dead-has given
business men courage and hence bust
ness is better, more men are employed
and wages are being raised"
