Free Silver Not the only Issue in
Louisiana.

We copy The following well writ
ten editorial from the Natehitoches
Enterprise, and hope that our few
friends in East Carroll who are now
advocating the election of Palmer.
viii reflect at what they are doing,
and that when they vote for Palmer
il is actually a vote for Mckinley:
In the campaign now in progress
in this State free silver is not the
only issue involved, though it is one
oil vast Importance TO the people of
the State. While the election is a
national one, the success of Mckln-
ley would be of immense advantage
to the Republicans in the contest
soon to come, over the congre ss-
ional convention, as we'll as in the
next gubernatorial election. We
cannot believe that any respectable
number of white people IN this part
of the State desire to see the Repub-
cans reinstated in power. The
record which that party made in
Louisiana from 1863 to 1876,
ought to be most effective answer
TO its demand for another trial.
especially when it is noted that the
very men who controlled its'policies
then will hold the reins again.
1t is almost incredible that any
political Organization lead by Henry
Clay Narmeth, man who is
guilty of more political crimes
against great State AID free peo-
pie than any man in the United.
States, should seek to regain a posi-
ton from which an outraged people
drove him less than 90 years ago.
1t is still more incredible that the
very people who were victims Of his
crimes should now be found i'll the
ranks of his followers.
And apart from the character of
these men and the record of Louis
lana Republicanlsm, there is not one
line IN The National Republican
platform that commends itself to
shy sensible man IN this State.
The success of Mckinley means a
protective tariff hich does not pro-
tect single article which the Louis.
lana farmer produces. but does pro-
,ect nearly every article which he is
compelled to consume. 1t means
low price for everything our farmers
have TO sell, and a high price for
everything they have to buy.
1t means continuation of the
present abnormal power of wealth,
the further growth of trusts, syndi-
Gates and monopolies, all fostered
and maintained by the most vicious
system of class Legislation. 1t
means in short, a system of legisla-
tive favoritism by which, under the
specious pretext of protecting the
American laberer, the rich are made
richer and the poor poorer.
The perpetuation of the gold
standard will be bad enough for
the Southern agnculturallsts, God
knows, but the gold standard and
McKinleyism will be well nigh in
tolerable. If there was ever a
political contest in this country in
which both self interest and patriot
ism prompted the people of Louis
lana TO mite i'll one grand effort to
secure a return by their government
to the old time Democratic policy of
equal rights to all and special priv
ileges TO none, it is now upon US.

The action Of .the Yale hoodlums
in interrupting Mr.. Bryan and
almost preventing him from speak
ing, Twas a disgrace that will never he
forgotten. This great school has
ceased to be place of learning, and
has long been considered place for
millionaire sons to dissipate and be-
come first class cut throats. Their
recent actions show that they are not
gentlemen.

Last Friday ct Boston $4,000 peo-

W. j. Bryan: Apply the law of
supply and demand to the money
question and say that when you in
crease the demand for gold you raise
its price, just as you raise the price
OF anything else by increasing the
demand for it, and that when you
raise the price of gold in gold
standard country you lower the price
OF all products of toll which are
measured by money. The gold
standard then means falling prices,
ami falling prices means hard times
to everybody except the man who
owns money or trades in it.

GRAND ARMY RATE ROW.
Eastern Roads Are Now Involved In the
Trouble Over the Tickets.

Eastern Roads Are Now Involved In the
Trouble Over the Tickets.
CHICAGO, Sept. l2.-The Eastern
roads are now having their share of
trouble over the G.. A. r. tickets, and
it bids fair T. be a more serious con-
dition of cffairs than any of the West.
ern roads have been compelled to meet.
The offices of the brokers in this city
are loaded down with the return por-
tions of tickets from st. Paul, and no
pretense is made that all Of them have
been properly executed by the
joint agent at st. Paul. The
roads, some of them. are not,
moreover, very particular as to
whether the tickets have been properly
executed and are honoring them with
out asking questions when the tickets
are presented for passage. Besides
these tickets the brokers have large
quantities of the Ct. A. r. tickets that
have never been near St. Paul, and the
charge is openly made that they have
been supplied direct by the agents of
the roads. Charges and countercharges
are flying back and forth, and there
seems to be every chance of a big fuss
before the matter is finally adjusted.

Dell Rapids Tribune. ~: These
Mckinley and others afforded some of
the reasons why the Tribune, while it
will continue to run the republican tick
ct at the head Of its editorial columns,
will not advocate the gold standard. The
republican party has never been in favor
Of 1t, and is not now, and the Tribune is
constrained to believe in the u~tterances
of Blaine, Allison, Mckinley, and others,
10 the past, rather thar ~ the statements
and arguments o presented in sup
port Of a plank that so evidently does
not voice the sentiment of the party or
Its leaders IN the past. The republican
platform declares In favor OF bimetalism
under an International agreement, and
republicans should talk for Information
al bim.talllsm, and cot for gold stand
ard, as they have been doing. The fact
remains, however, that Mckin!ey's rec
ord in congress aud all his past utteran-
ces on the financial question show that he
has been in favor Of this country taking
the initiative in remonetizing silver, and
it is not reasonable to believe that such
d mar would change his mind on the
question IN a few mouths, but it would
seem that, while he received the nomina.
tion for president, the gold men of the
east dictated the financial plank, and
the party must make the best Of it.
