Southern Railway to allow certain

Facts versus Logic.

To a beautiful speech (which by
the bye Senator Gallery asked and
obtained leave to print as part Of his
remarks) delivered by Judge Geo.
N. Aldredge, of Dallas, Texas, be,
fore the convention of the American
Bankers Association, at Atlanta,
Georgia, it is "conclusiVely shown
to the gold bugs that the country is
really prosperous. We are told that
the farmers wives get as much in
gold now for butter, chickens and
eggs as they did in greenbacks in
1872 and that this crop is more val
liable than the cotton and wheat
crops combined"
This is a very bold statement, but
your average gold bug is nothing If
not audacious. Fortunately last
week, we received a copy of the pc
tition and protest Of the New Orr
leans Produce Exchange to the rail-
road and express companies in that
city. 1t contains a whole mine OF
truth which the gold bugs can not
eliminate from the present contro-
versy. 1t does not go back to con-
ditions prevailing "a years ago, but
takes them 10 years back and shows
that prices are constantly on the de~
cline. Remember now that these
| are business men" not "~hayseeds"
or anarchists" who make these
statements and they are doing it
from purely business motives. Here
is what they say:
"Thst the naturally changed con-
dition of affairs, in relation to values,
during the last ten to fifteen years,
seems to call for and necessitate an
entire reorganization and revision OF
| transportation rates. This is espe.
cially true of the class produce han
died by the members of this Ez-
change, and notably, fruits. poultry
and eggs. While the average val
ues Of these commodities have de-
creased 40 to SO per cent, no mate
rial change has been made in the
cost of transportation, and this con-
ditlon works great hardship on the
producers, and, in fact, actually bars
much Of this class of produce from
the market altogether.
when existing rates were estab,
lished, the average value of the
above specified produce was Hens
SIS SO per doz; eggs, l8c per dez. OF
SIS 40 per Ease of 80 dozen; frnit
Soc TO ST. 25 per one third bushe'
box. Now the average price is
Hens, So Is per dozen; egga i0c pei
dozen, or So 90 per case of so dozen
fruit, 25c to 40c per one.third bush
ell box. Other sizes in proportion.
1.-THE question then resolves itsel
into this: The shippers receipt:
for this class OF produce have beer
reduced, say, SO per cent, with con
sequent equal reduction to the re
c~eiver, while the carrier receives tht
same compensation as before"

The Populists All Right.

The Popuilst NatlonalC ohseli'ioh
met at st, Louis last week. Senator
Allen of Nebraska was permanent
chairman. The deliberations were
quite stormy at times, especially
whenever the middle of the road"
chaps had a chance. W. J. Bryan,
of Nebraska, and Thos. E. Watson
of Georgia were nominated for
President and Vice-president.
AS an indication OF the general
satisfaction and determination to
support the ticket we give the follow
ing interview from the New Orleans
States had with Messrs. W. D..
Gooch OF Vermilion and D. E. John
son of Acadia:
A reporter Of The States met two
Of the St. Louis Populist delegates
at the Victoria restaurant, on St.
Charles street, just as they were pre-.
pairing to leave for their homes over
The Southern Pacific. They were in
great haste and consequently the in
terview that follows was not as ex
haustive as it might have been.
W. D. Gooch, of Vermillou, was
one Of the parties referred to. He
said that the Democratic party drove
him from It's fold about six years
ago on account of the perVersion of
its principles, and he was now an
out and oat Populist. He said that
the action Of the St. Louis conven-
ton was no love affair; it was strict.
" a matter of buslness-both the
Democrats and Populists recognf-
zing that it would be impossible to
elect a silver President if they did
not unite upon the domination.
Mr.. Gooch said that the Populists
have the greatest amount of conf
dence in Bryan and that it will give
him their most cordial support.
These direct questions were asked:
l"Mr. Gooch, are you satisfied with
the action of the Populist conven-
ton 2"
Eyes, / am. Our convention has
named Bryan and Watson as our
standard bearers and the Populists
will support this ticket loyalty"
"Was it a representative conven-
ton ?"
"Yes; there over thirteen hundred
delegates present, being sent direct
from the voters Of a party with true
and honest convictions Of govern
mental affairs. And the platform
adopted as well as the action taken
by the convention reflects the senti-
ments Of the Populist voters of this
country"
DO you believe that the Populist'
of Louisiana will vote for Bryan ?"
"Yee, sir; they will undoubtedly
vote for Bryan and Watson"
"How was it that they nominated
Mr.. Bryan and did not nominate Mr.
Sewall 2"
THE Populist demand that th'
government issue all money-gold
silver and paper. and we Of course
oppose banks of issue. Then Mr.
sewaIl being a national bank presi
dent, we feared that he would favol
banks of issue and we could not sup
port him."
