Ebo trust Isas Agreed to Advance Prieos
80 Tor Cent
Representatives of the IA principal
shovel factories in the United States
met at Anderson, lad, recently and
formed an association or trust which
will practically control the entire out
put of shovels in the country. 1t wns
agreed TO advance prices 90 per cent
above the present rates. The farmer
who goes TO buy new shovel this
spring will have the satisfaction OF
knowing that the higher price wh;ch
be pays for it helps make fortunes for
the trust monopolists who are protect
ed against foreign competition. The
Ia borec who digs drains or shoyels
yrayoi will also contribute 30 per cont.
increase in the price OF his new shovel
10 the greedy manufacturers who want
bigger proht5. And as the farmer and
worlsinG-man bend tbe1r backs over
their trust-taxed and tarifY-taxed show
sis they can console themselves ~
thinking that IL they will only vote

good thing for the shovel matters.
How will it suit shovel buyers?
For 33 wears the farmers voted for
high tariff They got the tariff. but
The profits 0il went to few monopo-
lists. When the democrats talked
tariff reform the republicans said:
'You make US tired" After a while
majority OF the people got tired of
protection, and said so by electing n
democratic president and congress.
iecause two years of low tariff have
not repaired all the injury caused by
81 years OF high protection the McKip-
leyites are bowling for change. If

that all believers in free coinage OF

the political assemblages during
the eras of Warmoth and Kellogg,
when a carnival Of political crime
and q saturnalia Of debauchery,
venality, rapacity, rascality, rob
berry and corruption prevailed
throughout Louisiana and all the
Southern States. The negro was
there in force, massed az upon
those occasions, while the white
man was conspicuously absent. No

as evidenced by the action Of the
men Boas and Hackett, on the
10th inst, in registering three of
them, and just in advance of the
opening Of the registration book at
Jeannerette, on Monday last, was
nipped in the bud by a baud of
staunch citizens Of our sister town,
who made known their determine
ton that the white men Of Iberia
should settle their political differ
ences without tue intervention of
the negro, the evident intention of
certain white men to the contrary
notwithstanding. The glitter of (.
