-DEMOCRA CT AND TIE
D/NGZE BILL.

1t is as clear as the MONDAY sun
that if the Democratic theory of a
tariff for revenue only is the correct
one, Senator McEnery, Congress-
men Broussard, Davey and Meyer
are wrong in voting for the Dingley
bill. 1t is equally clear and incon-
trovertible that if the Republican
theory of revenue for protection
is just and benefcient these gentle
men are right and should be
praised, not censured. If by
voting for the Dingley bill Senator
McEnery and the three Louisiana
Congressman are doing wise and
proper thing, the Republican policy
of taxing the many for the enrich
ment of the few is fair and just,
and the Democratic principle of
taxing the people for the purpose of
running the government and not
for the benefit of favored class, is
defective in wisdom.
Both cannot be right, Democ-
racy and the D,ngley bill. And
the Louisiana Legislators cannot be
conscientiously in favor of the two.
BY supporting one they oppose the
other. They cannot vote for the
Dingley bill and remain true to the
fundamental principles of the party
of Jackson and Benton. That is
clearly impossible.
If Democracy means anything it
means opposition to protection
through high tariff. The Dingley
bill proposes the rankest kind of
protection. There is nothing
Democratic about 1t. 1t is more
undemocratic than the Mckinley
bill which was denounced by the
party through its representatives
and its plato rms. No Democrat
can consistently vote for it. No
Democrat should vote for it. No
Democrat will vote for tiff he
wants to do his duty.

TOORHEES' ROMAN PR
TUE.
IR.

Baton Rouge Advocate.
1t has for some years back been
the custom to refer to the United
States Senate as the "Millionaires
Club and the popular impression
of that body is that it is composed
only of rich men. AS matter of
fact there are several millionaires in
that body, the larger proportion of
whom hail from the mining States
of the West, but by far the larger
proportion of the Senators are poor
men. This fact is forcibly illus
trated by the following anecdote re-
ported by the Chicago Record in a
recent issue:
During the closing hours of the
Fifty-fourth Congress, three men,
bers of the s'Millionaires' Club" as
the Senate has often been called,
were sitting in a committee room
condoling with each other ovet the
expiration of their public life.
Said one of them, and he came
from an Eastern State: 81 have

Il SIGNAL VCZORY

The Democratic party of the
town of Lafayette has won a signal
victory over the allied forces OF
Republicanlsm, backed by Demo-
Gratis who are oftener found in the
enemy's camp than in the ranks OF
the party of which they profess to
be members.
The municipal ticket, nominated
by Democratic primaries, ordered
and held in the regular way, was
elected by a handsome majority,
defeating the so-called Peoples
ticket by vote which leaves no
doubt as to the temper Of the
voters Of the town.
The election of the ticket headed
by Hon. Chas. d. Caffery, is not
only a significant victory for the
Democratic party, but it gives
assurance of an intelligent and
honest administration of the towns
affairs for the next two years. The
Democrats had very wisely selected
only trustworthy citizens and relia-
bic business men to form the
municipal ticket and now that
their choice has been ratified, our
thriving little city is assured two
years of good government.

he continued, ttthirty six years, and
pocket this morning. 1 dent know
what I am going to do" And in
melancholy tones, often with a sob
in his voice, the venerable Senator
described the hopelessness of his
future.
There is something strangely pa
thetic in such an experience as this
of a man who had absolutely de-
stroyed himself in the service of his
country. During the thirty six
years of his congressional career
Mr.. VOORHEES, had been called upon
hundreds of times to cast his vote
for measures involving the appre-
citation of many millions of dollars,
and out of which other men made
vast fortunes, yet with the fidelity
of a Roman sentinel he discharged
his duty, and stood unmoved in the
presence of temptations that over
came others of less heroic fiber.
When in 1898 he abandoned the po-
sition he had formerly occupied on
the financial question and cast his
vote and his efforts to the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act he was loudly denounced
by some silverites and limitations of
corruption were freely INDUCED in
by the newspapers of the country
which supported the policy of free
silver.
Called upon every year to vote
away many millions of the public
funds, not dollar of it stuck to his
fingers, never once did he prosti-
tute the privileges of his high posi-
ton for the sake of gain; and
though he had by his vote helped
to provide honors for many of his
and had passed neces-
sary bills out of which many were
enabled to reap vast fortunes, him
self died without home, and as he
pathetlcally expressed it "without
the means of reaching one even
lad he owned it," What nobler
ribute could be paid to the charac-
:er of any man than is implied by
hese facts.

put in safe keeping long ago on their
complaint. The opinion as to his insan-
ity is about equally divided.

tested than any feature Of the bill thus
far, by defeating the motion Of Senator
