The New Orleans City Item, which
takes delight in belying true and
tried Democrats of our State, has
been caught in its dirty work again,
as will be seen from the following,
taken from the st. Landry Clarion:
When the City Item circulated
broadcast over the land the report
that Isaac Broussard, Sheriff of LAT
ayette parish, was defaulter, the
Clarion promptly announced the
statement lie. We felt that it was
but thinly disguised scheme of the
Item to murder politically this gal
liant and beloved Democratic leader,
schemes that that paper has been
known to resort to on several occa-
sions. Therefore, we are glad to be
able to give below the result of an
investigation into the matter by the
Fayette Grand Jury, which complete
ly exonerates, if such was needed,
the beloved young Sheriff of our
sister parish
eve took special occasion to make
minute Investigation of the Sheriff
accounts both with the parish and
State, and we are proud to say to the
people of the parish that the sour
rilous article that appeared in the
Daily City Item some time since,
charging the Sheriff with defalcation
of State funds, was and is absolutely
false and ibelous. Sheriff Brous-
sard's accounts not only show that he
is in good account with both State
and parish, but they also show that
he has settled with the Auditor for
amounts due on deduction tax list
and holds the Auditors receipts
therefor"

very much more than a third of the

WHEAT AND CoTroN.-The Dinsley
bill puts tariff of 80 cents bushel
on barley, Is cents on buckwheat, Is
cents on corn, % cents on corn meal,
2 cents pound on rice and rs cents
bushel on wheat. Then why not a
tariff on cotton9 There is a tariff, a
protective tariff, on milk and every
conceivable farm product--upon wool,
upon rye, upon beans, upon mush-
rooms, upon animals and cabbages,
upon potatoes and straw, upon hay
and honey. Cotton only is the out
law. The Southern planters pay the
tariff on everything, but they get no
share of the protection. The reason
is obvious. New England imports
for its own use nearly fifty million
pounds of cotton annually. A tariff
on cotton, therefore, would cost the
protected manufacturers something
and bring no votes to the protective
interests. 1t costs nothing to put a
tariff on wheat and corn. We have
those for sale and do not import any
and probably never will.
Unofficial notice has been served
upon this government that the for
eign countries which consider them
selves Disseminated against by the
new Mckinley tariff bill intend to
retiliate. Human nature is very
nearly the same everywhere. 1t is
all very nice to talk about turning
the other check, but the average
man hits back instead.
The wives OF Republican Senators
are already playing havoc with some
of the plans of the Mckinley admin
istration md its friends. The friends
