Hon. John Dymond, one of the
brainiest men in the country and
one of the staunchest Democrats in
Louisiana, has resigned as president
of the Sugar Planters Association.
Speaking of his resignation the
Baton Rouge Advocate says:
Hon. John Dymond rendered his
resignation as president of the Su-
gar Planters Association at the late
meeting of that organization and
recommended the selection of some
one who was in full political SYM
patty with the bulk of the members
Of that organization. Nearly all
the members of the association
have strayed away from the ancient
faith and have bowed down to the
false gods of Republican Protec-
tive tariff, and no doubt Mr.. Dy-
mond feels somewhat out of place
in the presidential chair of such an
organization, where nearly all the
membership is out of touch with
him. While we consider it the
proper thing for Mr.. Dymond to do
under the circumstances, yet it is
difficult to see how the association
which, according to its character is
non-partisan, can accept his resig-
nation without giving the incident a
political coloring. If the Sugar
Planters Association should thus
confess itself q sort of adjunct to
the Mckinley propaganda then its
efficiency as an organization must
be seriously impaired.

THE CUBAN Rebellion

THE CUBAN REBELZLOM
Rebellion is. a natural right
granted to the oppressed people Of
all countries, be the forms of gov
eminent what they may; it is as
sacred and incontestable as the right
of self-defense and preservation
which God gave to man.
The Cuban people have been and
are cruelty oppressed by the govern
ment of Spain. For years they
have struggled under the oppressive
yoke of hea1tless tyrants. They
have suffered far more than the
people of the thirteen English
colonies under the rule of King
George. If the right to rebel
against oppression did not exist,
there never would have been Re-
public in the world. Our great
and proud American republic would
not shine as the glory of the new
world and wonder of mankind.
During period of over two years
the Cuban patriots have, without
assistance, maintained themselves
against a great European power.
They have certainly shown enough
patriotism and sufficient strength to
entitle them to be recognized as
belllgerents by the United States,
and be treated in accordance with
the usages of warfare by all civilized
nations. To deny them that right
is to encourage General Weyler in
his infamous and barbarous treat
ment of prisoners of war. To longer
withhold that right from the Cubans
is to sanction the crimes committed
by this inhuman butcher in his
cowardly persecution of women and
children. The government of the
United States can not long refrain
from recognizing the t:ubans as
belligerents, without mourning the
reproach of all 1iberty-loving
Americans, and without laying
itself liable to the charge of disown-
ing the traditions of the revolution
and of becoming an accomplish to
the revolving policy of Spain.

The Messenger makes strenuous
kick because some Breaux Bridge
people visited New Iberia on Mardi
Gras instead of st. Martinville.
To this objection the Valley replies
that the Bfeaux Bridge people
should be accorded the privilege of
consulting their wishes in the mat
ter. The Gazette desires to inform
its esteemed contemporaries that in
the future Lafayette will offer an
amicable settlement of this vexed
question by celebrating Mardi Gras
in such a splendid manner that the
people of Breaux Bridge will only
be displaying their proverbial good
sense by coming here to witness a
parade that will far surpass any
thing ever seen in this part of the
State.

John L. Sullivan has been chosen
by the New York World to report
the Corbett Fitzsimmons fight,
while the Journal has secured the
distinguished services of ex-senator
John J. Ingalls, for like duty.
The Washington Post is put to it to
decide as to their respective merits,
and says in discussing the subject:
eve confess that the task of de-
Gliding between Hon. John J. ingalls,
and Hon. John l.. Sullivan as his
torians of the forthcoming prize
fight quite appalls us. OF course,
under ordinary literary circum-
stances there would be no occasion
for a moments doubt. Mr.. Sulli-
vans style is vigorous enough, to
be sure, but it is somewhat crude.
In fact, it belongs rather to the
stone age than to the fin de steele
empyrean. He knows not the
iridescent dream. He reminds one
of the'hairy monsters that overran
the Roman Empire under Attila and
Alaric. His vocabulary is simple
and contracted. But may it not be
that this scared warrior will be
able to chant the rude music of the
biff and bang, the left hook and the
punch, with something like inspira-
ton, after all Is it not possible
that in this particular domain of
chronicle he may prove no mean
rival of the melli fiuous and polished
bard who now attunes his Tyre to an
unfamiliar theme

a WHITE REPUBLICAN,
parry

The sugar Republicans will have
to admit Mr.. Niger within their
ranks if they want to get some of
the spoils. A white Republican
party might be a success in Louis
lana, but the moment the negro is
made part of the organization, it
will go to pieces. Mr.. E. N. Cor
nay, q member of the Howell exc
cutive committee, has already re-
signed. He is opposed to the ne
gro being admitted with the Lilly
Whites.-St. Martinville Messenger.
The Gazette has always con-
tended that it was impossible to
maintain strictly white Republi-
can party in Louisiana. While it
is undeniably true that many white
men would gladly welcome such a
party the experience of the past dec
ade in several Southern States
proves conclusively that the negro
will inevitably press his way into
any organization which bears the
name of Republican. 1t is just as
impossible to exclude Sambo from
participation in Republican circles
as it is for the young buzzard to re-
tain the snowy whiteness of its first
feathers. The Lilly White Repub-
lican party and the dusky hawk
may, for q short time. wear nothing
but white garments, but in due
course of time the natural color be-
comes painfully visible.
The Gazette would like to see a
white Republican party in Louis
lana, but to wish for such thing
would be committing an act of un-
pardonable skepticism. The Re-
publican party was founded upon
the principle of social and political
equality of the two races, and no
man can hope to rise within its
ranks unless he believes, or affects
to believe, that the colored brother
should be accorded all the rights
and privileges that the white man
enjoys. That the Lilly Whites haye
come down another peg and have
expressed their willingness to CO.
operate with the negro wing of the
Republicans is no surprise to those
who are acquainted with the history
of the g. 0. p. since the war.
When the Lilly Whites endorsed
the negro Blandin as a presidential
elector those Republicans who were
sincerely in favor of white party
realized that their last hope was
irretrievably lost.

| want to say to the reporters
for the different Sub Alliances,
that it is necessary for them to
have their reports in on Saturday
TO have them published the fol-
lowing week.
Send reports of the meetings
of your Alliances and let the peo-
pie know what we are doing, and
in the first place don't forget or
neglect to attend the meetings
of your Subs.
Some people will tell YOU that
the Alliance is a dead note, but
tell YOU there is no living organ
ization that is doing more valua-
bic work than the Alliance is do
in, for the farmers who are mem
bers of the order, to say nothing
Of those farmers who are not
members and the bread winners
of every calling in life.
Now we do not want YOU to
spend unnecessary time in at
tending meetings Of your Alliance,
but | can say with a great many
others that | never attended a
meeting of the Alliance but which
benefited me in some way.
Some will say there is no busi-
ness calling us together, now let
us not forget the social feature of
our order, and the obligation
resting upon us to support the
principals of our noble order.

Fiat Money.

The constant cry that fiat
money is not good money is al
ready refunded by the use of
gold and silver as money. These
metals, with fifty years of sup
ply on hand would have very lit
tie value If they were not used as
money In any part of the world.
Law, or custom having the force
of law, makes gold and silver
m ney when stamped by the gov
ernment for the purpose of desig-
nation. We contend that il a
law were passed making paper or
any material designated by the
stamp of the government IA full
legal tender for ali debts, public
and private, 1T would be as good
money for all purposes for
which money is used as either
gold or silver. We might cite
many instances nd make long
and elaborate arsument in favor
of our contention, but it would
be ridiculed by all who do not
understand the science of money.
This question ia of paramount
importance and Is certainly worth
the experiment which would cost
the government nothing except
engraving and printing the pa
per.
If Congress should pass law
authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to Issue a small amount
of strictly fiat paper without any
promise of redemption, and max e
such paper money receivable for
taxes and all government dues
and legal tender In the pay
ment of all debts, it would be
easy to determine whether the
people would take it at par as
money. If they should do so and
it should be sought for in the
same manner that gold is coined
now sought for by persons who
desire to use it to pay debts and
government dues, it would dem
onstrate that the material upon
which money ls stamped for
designation is not the essential
thing. 1t would verify Aristotle's s
definition of money when he de-
clared that money is a creation
of law" The verification Of this
definition would be Of the ut
most value to civilization, and
this government can well afford
to make the experiment.-Vigi-
liant Press.

competition labor system and

Wherever we see consolidation
and concentration, we see compe
tltion. correspondingly abolished,
and where competition is abol-
,shed in trade, it ls augmented
in the field of labor. This latter
cause is Immediately felt by the
farmer. for a competitive labor
system means falling prices and
hard times. But the remedy
does not rest in the idea of the
Chicago merchants, who want to
boycott the large department

the labor in cultivating the crops,

DR.. w. @. Stubbs, director of
the experiment station, regards
the sweet potato and Spanish
peanuts as being perhaps the
most profitabl feed that can be
grown. The authority already
quoted says i'm this connection :
"By the addition of an alfalfa
patch, which is ready for the hogs
in early winter ii sown in Octo
Der, we can carry hogs the whole
year through upon fresh fields
and pastures new, all of which
will be both nutritious and fat
tening, and in this way hog rails
inc can be carried on in the state
of Louisiana very successfully.
1t is estimated that farmers are
by this process raising hogs at a
net cost OF less than half cent IA
pound"

says eye are the salt of the

SAVIOR wherewithal shall 1T be

These words had reference to the
church. The church is composed
Of individuals, and so is the Al
lance. SO | believe that these
words can be referred to with pro.
priety in the great Alliance move
ment in this nation.
Yes, the Alliance is the great
light house through which the
brilliant rays of its glaring light
must shine over the stormy sea of
a troubled nation. And we believe
that any Alliance that is satisfied
with just merely letting It's light
shine III its own subordinate body
is Il dark lanterned Alliance. Or
any church that only looks to its
own self and has no missionary
interest is the same. What would
You think of the keeper of n light
house if he went into the attic
and there trimmed the lamps and
kept them burning just tor his
own pleasure or Il few that might
be with him? Should he not
raise the curtains of the atti-
windows And the darker the
night so much more the necessity. q
For remember the lights in th)
lighthouse are not merely foe
keeper of the attic and his assor
ciates, but are tor a beacon to the
wayward and struggling mariner
that is exposed to shipwreck and
ruin. So is the Alliance the
great light house through which
the brilliant rays of light must
shine over the darkened sea of a
troubled and indebted nation.
Always remembering that our
Grand Order is founded upon the
principle of Truth, Equity and
Juctice, and that strict adher-
ence to these principles will in
crease our usefulness as members
of this order and as citizens of this
government. Remembering also
whereas the declaration of de-
pendence IS basis for a Repub-
hcan form of government that
might be progressive and perpet-
ual, states, "That all men are
created equal. That they are en-
dowed with certain inalienable
rights, that among those are life,
liberty and the pursuit OF happi-
ness. Pa. Alliance Advocate.

Kansas City, Mo-. Feb. pa, 1897

Kansas City, Mo-. Feb. "a, 1897
This js the condition which
confronts nearly every man who
launches out In some kind of
legitimate business in the hope
of making living for himself
and family. He is immediately
confronted by the problem "how
can he successfully compete
against the mighty unless he in
corporates himself with them"
In Chicago, the small mer-
chants, who make their living
through the medium of some
mercantile business like hard
ware, queensware, drugs. jew elry,
etc, and are finding that with a
fixed capital and ive-long ex-
perience are just sailing into
bankruptcy, have begun a war on
the big department stores of that
city and have declared that their
families must not patronize such
stores and that every thing posi-
BILE must be done to protect their
own lines of business from the in
fringements of big Department
houses. Every effort 40 far direct
ed against such institutions has
proven futile; as the dealing
public does not stand by the
small firms in the struggle for
existence. The public know that
the spirit of the big department
store is fast working havoc in the
employmet of competent labor
and the renting Of small store
rooms; but the temptations to
gain a nickle by purchase is too
great to be resisted, hence they
wend their way to the large store
and thus help by every purchase
to freeze out their smaller
brethren. Literally the big store
says to little one sell out your
stock, give up your store room
aud come be clerk behind one
OF our counters; or we will drive
you into bankruptcy"
Now, what does this condition
of affairs signify? 1t signifies
first that men are fast losing their
independence, as they cannot run
a business of their own on a
small capital; but must clerk for
! some one who has an organized
store; and secondly that those
/ who can and have erected small
store rooms must find vacancy
| starelng them in the face. 1t also
! signifies more cheao girl labor
and heads of families out of EN-
/ ployment. The female labor
must ultimately lead to fewer
marriage unions and less domestic
| qualifications. The ambitious and
worthy father must be compelled
10 see his daughter 90 to work as
a stenographer and sales lady be
cause he is incompetent to earn q
/ living to support his family. Then
there is another way in which
/ these large corporations and de
! partment stores causes men tC
lose their individuality and indie
/ pcndence which is far more dis
astrous than that Just mentioned
Under a constant competitive
| system Tin labor) men are held
10 their positions by mere straw
and are naturally made servile
thereby. They are naturally led
TO feel that they must toady tC
the favor of their employers OF
they are likely to be made sacrifi
ces in cases of retirement. Dur.
ing elections, strikes, retrench.
ments they must necessarily re-
strain their opposition to the
/ system of concentration and de-
partment houses, else they are
likely to become decapitated. II
