On motion Of Mr.. Coulon, second
ed by Mr.. Provost, the assignment of
the Southern Paciic's main road
from Alexandria to New Orleans
was placed at The same figures as
last year-s6,500.
Messrs. Davidson and .Duchamp
argued that every branch road
should be assessed separately, and
Mr.. Coulon of Laiourche claimed
that it was the duty of the whole
board 10 assess all the branches at
the same time. That the intention
of the law is to equalize the assess
ments.
Mr.. Marrero's motion to assess all
branches together was carried.
Upon motion OF Mr.. Marrero all
branches Of The Southern Pacific
we're assessed at $500.

formerly, $50 per mile. The local

The Teche and VermiIion tele-
phone line was assessed at SIS a

The Teche Railroad was assessed
at $3.50.
The Louisiana Westerns line from
Lafayette to Calcasieu was taken
up. The main line was assessed at
$6 500 and the Eunice branch at
$4,000. This is a reduction from
last years assessment of $500 per
mile.
When the Iberia and Vermilion
railway was reached, considerable
time was consumed, as the two COM
missioners, Messrs. Provost and Mil
Ter, representing the parishes ira
versed by this road, failed to arrive
at o conclusion. Mr.. Provost, oil
Iberia, wanted to let the assessment
remain at $500 per mile, while
Mr.. Miller, of Vermilion, insisted
that $4,000 vas a fair and proper
valuation. Owing to the failure OF
Commissioners Provost and Miller
to agree, no assessment was fixed on
this road. The representatives OF
the railroad claimed that as nc as
sessment was fixed the figures will
remain The same as heretofore. Mr..
Miller, however, did not concur ip
this opinion.
Mr.. Davidson, of TerrehoDne,
made a strenuous kick because he
considered that$3.5 500 on the Houma
branch was too low. But the rail

Protection Which Protects.

Believing firmly as he does that
the highway to natural prosperity
rests upon the taxation of the people
for the benefit Of the trusts and
monopolies, and what few crumbs
may incidentIy fall into the OUT
stretched hands of the sugar end
rice growers, our venerable confrere
of the Republican Idea dislikes very
much TO have any m intimate his
way of thinking is not the only Corr
rect one. Hence, when we meekly
enquire "where's the oft and long
promised wave of prosperity 2" he
testify replies Don't be SO impatient,
you may be hungry but just wait a
little, if you complain the dad rated
thing will never comet"
Taking our little confederate
brigadier in the saddle" squib for a
text, the Idea proceeds to expatiate
us at great length and in figures,
upon the beauties Of the Republican
tariff scheme, but he wanders off
over all creation, and only comes
back to his text to remark what
wicked deceivers these aforesaid
Confederetes and the MERIDI0NAL
are. As we have never assumed to
give any figures on the amount Of
prosperity, we r at a loss to con-
ceive low anybody has heen misled.
However the Idea tells us ''the pro-
tective difference in favor of the
senate bill is more than fifty per
cent greater and, will benefit Louis
lana planters that much more than
the present law Now, if this state
meut means anything it means that
protection equivalent to that of the
senate bill will double the price of
cane, and its product. Last year in
this parish cane sold for 50 IS and
$500 a ton. II our contemporary
speaks by the card, as be assumes, he
tells our cane growers that they will
this fall receive SIS so and Sc per
ton for their cane. We fervently
hope so, but will wait for the reali-
cation before we record it as Cos
pei. When the rainbow chases'
dream of prosperity is rudely dis
PEELED this fall something wonder
fully like a howl will escape from

anticipation. Shine on

The keen avidity with which our
neighbor the Idea, snaps up our lit.
tie squib anent "the Confederate
brigadiers" being no longer In the
saddle is really amusing, especially
So when considering the wonderful
elasticity Of his differences. The very
word "Confederate' seemingly sum-
mons forth from their dread abode
the rawhead and bloody bones of
partisan rancor. Might we not, by
parity of inference, parsuc the sub
ject along a similar line il the oppo
site direction and infer that the
amiable Col. Moody agrees with the
special committee OF the Grand
Army of the Republic appointed to
confer with the eminent historian

much credit to the southern troops

such books the children would gain
the impression that the Confederate
soldiers were brave Americans who
gladly offered up their lives and for
tunes in defense of what they hons
estly believed to be right ? 1t mat
tiers not that this is a fact. So much
the worse ! How will it be possible
to keep alive the fires Of hatred Of

Another Calamity Howl.

Despite the repeated assertions OF
the McKinleyites and rainbow cha
sers that the high tide of Prosperity
had hit the country fairly amidships
and was boosting her onward and
upward, the daily papers from time
20 time tell a different story. The
great army Of the unemployed still
tramp the highways 10 quest Of work.
From S~arcoxfe, Mo-, comes the latest
tale. 1t is 10 the strawberry region
and in reply to the advertisement OF
the farmers calling for pickers, we
are told that over 10000 people are
new besieging the hotels and lodg.
ing houses of Sarcoxie. The over.
flow has been so great that thousands
were forced to sleep upon the ground
and prepare their meals in hastily
improvised dugouts or shantles cor
structed Of branches and leaves.
The line of campers extends for ten
miles up and down on either side Of
Spring river, the long string Of tents
and brightly burning camp fires
reminding one of army life during
the exciting days Of the war. Men
representing almost every known
avocation are here. Some of them
have seen better days, but poverty
having forced them to leave the
ranks OF thousands of unemployed in
large cities, they have sought the
field az q means Of keeping soul and
body together.

The Father of Trusts.

The Republican party has created
and fostered by its peculiar tariff
legislation a breed of arrogant
trusts, which control every COM
modify necessary to human welfare,
and even now fatten on the peoples
misfortune. Last fall the working
classes we're told to vote for McKin
ley, his election meant the opening
of mills and factories, and the re-
turn of prosperity. A few factories
have reopened, bat there has been
no increase of wages. Quite the
contrary, in a number of instances
wages have been reduced. The old
story that q high duty on manufac-
tured articles allowed the manufac-
turer to get higher prices for his
prodct, and to pay his employe bet
ter wages, has been exploded. The
employees thoroughly realize that in
nearly every case the product oil
their ingenuity, ETC., IS controlled by
a trust which limits The output. This
being limited, the number of en-
ployes is also necessarily limited.
The result is a glnt in the labor
market, a better price for the MANI
facturer, a lower wage for the en-
ploye. Another ine-spun theory Of
theirs was to place a small tax, or
none at all, on the raw article -this
also for the benefit of our infant in
dnstries. The producers of the raw
article have lately very forcibly
kicEed on that arrangement, with
the result that nearly the entire
west has deserted the republican
party and joined the populiss, and
now the cigar manufacturers are
dissatisfied with the proposed duty
on Havana leaf tobacco or else a
p%rohihitive one, in which case the
smoker Of Havana cigars wonld have
to pay the duty on the manufactured
article. 1t is very clear that a con-
glomeration of men, each looking to
benefit himself, or his particular 10,
cality, can never frame a tariff bill
which will be of any benefit to the
country as a whole. The enormous
fortunes made by the leading mem
bers of the different trusts have
opened the eyes of the western con-
gressmen, and the old adage, "What
is sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander." has been proved a fall
lacy when applied to the relation of
employer and employe. The recent
elections have opened the eyes of the
men manipulating the republican
party. They are afraid of the cleo.
tons this fall and their result as af.
fecting the United States Senate.
