WITH the eastern wings of the Re
publican and Democratic parties max
ing big fight for 'sound money" and
the western wings scrapping for sin
ternational bimetalIism" or Stree coin
age of the American product, " it takes
an optimist of the most pronounced
type to jolly himself into believing
that anything beneficial to silver can
be had from either. There is only one
party that demands the free coinage of
silver now, and it will be the only party
that will have a positive free silver
plank in its platform in 1896, and that
is the Peoples party.

BUSINESS is booming. The Standard
Oil company made s15,OOO,OOO in the
recent oil furry, the Morgan-Roths-
child bond syndicate cleaned up SILL
100000 in their late purchase, and the
meat trust scraped together few mil
lions out of the bull movement in beef
Surely the good times, predicted by
the old parties, are here.

A VIGOROUS opposition to the Stand
ard Oil monopoly has been established
in New England. One large and several
small refneries have an output of $50,
600 gallons week, which is about one
fourth of all used in the New England
states. To drive out its competitors
the Standard is selling oil at / cent a
gallon in many villages where the riv-
airy is most active. Failing to buy out
OF drive out its competitors, the Stand
8rd is trying to starve them out. But
they say that they viii not starve, and
that they viii give away oil rather than
surrender to the trust. If the trust
succeeds in crushing its rivals it will
charge higher prices for oil to recover
its losses In selling it for a cent a gal
Ion. It has never been defeated in any
previous battle, aud the progress Of
this viii be watched with interest.

was too foolish to impose loHg on any
enc. Our people certainly had sense
enough to charge prices that made up
the difference in coin and greenbaeks,
and wiz they be less sensible with sill
yer? Much has lately been said to the
effect chat the most progressive and
highly civilized nations are on the gold
basis. It has also been repeatedly
proved that the same nations consume
by far the largest amounts of intoxi-
eating liquors, and the one fact is
worth as much as the other OF all the
goidbug absurdities, however, the most
absurd is their paradox that free coin
age will raise the value of silver to the
miners and not to others.

THE reasons advanced for monomet-
allism have been many and ingenious,
and new ones have been urged as the
old ones had to be thrown aside. The
FIRST was that silver is too bulky, but
that is now obsolete. We do not carry
large sums Of coin; We use paper. Next
It was urged that We should be at a
disadvantage in the exchange with our
foreign customers, but everybody
knows that was no trouble when our
only money was deprecated paper, and
that exchange must be calculated just
the same so long IS the coins of differ
ent countries vary. Any schooiboy
can make the calculation on any trade
u ons minute. The claim that We
should pay geld and be paid IA silver

The effort to side-tFack the Peoples

strongly than ever before.

Pollution Of the Teche.

Under the above heading the New Ibe-
ria Enterprise Of November Ii, 1895. pu-
bIishes an unjust critism Of the Parish
Of st. Martin, and Of Mr.. j. B. Levert in
particular.
Like the Enterprise we have aud will
always oppose the pollution Of the wa
tiers of the Teche. 50 necessary to tine
needs of our people, but at the same
time we believe that it is the province
Of the press to be thoroughly informed
of the correctness of the facts they pu-
blish before csnsuring worthy parish Of.
ficials and worthy citizens.
The Police Jury of st. Marish Parish
enacted the same resolution as that Of
the Parish of Iberia in relation to the
pollut;ng of the waters of the Teche by
Retineries. and Mr.. j. B. Levert, tho ow-
ner of st. John Refinery. has diverted
the Refuse and Offals and all the wash
ings Of his refinery from the Teche and
throws them on his own land by means
of canals.
MIR. E. A. Duchamp, the efficient Pre-
sident Of our Police Jury. made persO-
nal inspection of the disposition made
by the St. John Refinery Of the Offals
and washing and will attest these facts
If necessary.
No water. except the distilled water
from the double effect goes into the Ba-
you. and right at the spot where the dis
titled water runs in the Teche, st. John
takes its supply of water. which it would
not do If the waters Of the Teche were
polluted.
To make assurance dOubly sure. the
Editor OF this paper this week made q
special visit to St. John Refinery to as
certain in person the facts herein pu.
blished and drank of both the water of
the Techs and the distilled water of the
double effect right there at st. John and
does now attest that there exist there
no polluted water in the Teche.
Nor is tho water polluted at st. Mar.
tinville. three miles below st. John.
Now, Brother Lawton, we are not as
fortunate as Iberia in the number Of re-
fineries, but we have four instead OF two,
three above st. Martinville and one be-
low, and we are happy to say that they
all respect the law.
As we know you would not willingly
do an injustice to our Parish officials
nor to MIR. Levert, we think that you
should make Amende Honorable.

impossible to have goods road and

are drained. We have seen some
