THE REPORTED ECONOMIC FLOP
IN LOUISIANA.

j.. We doubt much if Louisiana can ever
be counted upon again to go for the
democracy, unless the old party de-
serts it's low tariff colors and takes up
finally with a hybrid form of taxation
upon which the little Billy Wilson tar
iff, called wrongly democratic, was
based. Our reason for fearing hereaf-
ter the safety Of the Pelican state is the
flop it has made on the tariff. Sena-
tor McEnery, elected as a democrat,
identified himself in the congress with
the republicans and helped them to
put upon the country the worst tariff
tax bill ever conceived in sin and
ecuted in corruption. It was built by
trusts, and the members voting for it
are practically owned by the trusts,
and should wear the collar of the rob-
bers and plunderers-"John Smith,
owned n supported by the trusts
should be the label. McEnery's deser-
ton of his party was complete. When
he returned to New Orleans he met
with a formal welcome for his 1abors in
behalf of a high tariff tax. The re-
publican organs of robbery and organ
lied trusts are happy V e the Louis
lana demonstration and desertion. The
New York Mail and Express, more
rampant for robbery, if possible, than
wen The Tribune, says in a long arti-
Gle on 1.-THE Conversion of louisiana
1T was a remarkable tribute by the
democracy to a leading citizen who had
deliberately broken way from the
party traditions of his state. But it
was something more than a personal
Endorsement. 1t was one Of the most
significant Of recent political events in
the south, making formal acknowledge
ment, as it did, of an economic revolu-
ton which is slowly but surely over
turning the creed of generations and
SCATTERING the idols of a dead past.
Louisiana is on the eve of a read
justment of party lines, for which the
sugar-growing and manufacturing in
terests of the state are responsible. 1t
has deliberately reversed itself on the
tariff"

democrat and supposed to represent
democratic principles as to tariff taxa

course is Endorsed by the democracy
of the most important city in the south.

lions pertaining to the construction

termine the best regulations to be en-
acted into law for the common good.
These commissions have been estab-
lished just as much to protect the rail-
b people against the roads" Such
cautious, conservative u%tterance Is
needed. Legislators through blindness
and ignorance may without intention
even do a great deal of damage and
inflict serious injury alike upon people
and railroads. The ends sought hould
be fair and generous. The able Geor-
gian says, and we believe he is both
sensible and right, that congress is
not supposed to understand the intri-

and operation sufficiently to determine
wise legislation for their government

realize this, and be willing to allow

WHAT THE MARYLAND DEMO.
Gratis FAVOR.

The Messenger is not much consider
ing political questions this on year 9TH
er than the awful tariff tax But now
and then things occur that invite a
passing notice. sue is the curious
dispute over the recent democratic
platform in Maryland as to currency.
We do not well see how it can be call
ed a straddle. To make this plain We
will copy from it again:
1.-The democracy of Maryland. in
common with the democracy of the
union, believe now, as they always
nave believed, in honest money, the
gold and silver money Of the constitu-
ton, and the coinage of both metals,
without discrimination against either.
into standard dollars Of final payment
and redemption"
That reads so familiar that it is at
once seen that it is the language Of
former years. Now, we submit. that
there is not a supporter Of Mckinley
last year among the 10000 boiling
democrats who will indorse that deliv-
erance as rejecting his views. It was
just what is set forth hat repealed him
in 1896. We think that the large pro-
portion Of the Bryan supporters yill in
dorse it. If not, why not? And yet in
scores Of newspapers, republican and
mugwump, you will see the contention
raised that the above plank avoids
free silver" What can the Maryland
democrats mean but free silver when
they declare squarely that they favor
ssXl.1 - L~
discrimination against either, into
standard dollars of final payment and
redemptiOn?" We submit that these
words set forth really the chiefest
contention Of the Bryan men. Right
or wrong the Marylanders under Cor
mans leadership stand forth cham
pioning 'the gold and silver money of
the constitution" We see no effort at
straddling or lodging an issue as is in
J sisted upon.
| The Norfolk Pilots able editor, Colo
mel Elan, is a most pronounced as we'll
as very able advocate of free silver. In
a recent issue considering the two
declarations as to currency in both the
Chicago platform Of 1896, and the
Maryland platform Of 1897, writes this:
What sort Of knowledge, intelligence
and honesty are they hat can find a
less declaration for silver in the Mary
land platform than in the Chicago
platform? AS we said yesterday, the
declaration arose out of the unfathOm-
al ignorance Of those who made it.
They did not know that standard dol
lars, means silver and gold dollars at
the ratio Of 16 to 1, and, as incredible
as it may appear, they actually did
not know that gold now has free and
unlimited coinage at the ratio of Is to
l.. 1t was ignorance at first; but per-
sisted in, it is something else and
worse"
Our aim is merely to correct a wrong
impression as to what the Maryland
democrats really stand for. 1t is quite
remarkable that a state tina went for
Mckinley and by such large democrat
ic aid should so soon witness a plain,
square democratic deliverance in favor
Of both metals without distinction as
to coinage and of full power in all final
payments. 1t does not show that BIZ
metallism has really lost ground in the
state of Maryland. That the democrats
in that state will redeem it Upon such
an issue is altogether another aues-
ton.

to Sarah u. Cooke, the certificates for
which were purchased by Mr.. Ryan. In
q formal letter to Cir. Louis ,McLane,
chairman of the pooling committee, Mr..
Ryan demanded the immediate delivery
of the certificates to Mr.. William I.

In hts letter to Mr.. McLane 1t was
claimed by Mr.. Ryan that the pool has
no lawful right to hold the certificates
under the pooling agreement OF October
2. 1896. The reasons given for this claim
Of Mr.Teyan are as follows:
There Is no covenant in the pooling
agreement that the stock certificates
shall be surrendered or permanently
held by the committee. ~
"a large number of signers OF the
polling agreement have never deposited
their certificates with the committee.
"A large number of the subscribers to
the pooling agreement who did deposit
their certificates with the committee,
have. with the committees knowledge
and assistance. sold and transferred
their shares contrary to the covenants
OF the pooling agreement.
Contrary to the terms and conditions
OF the pooling agreement a large num-
Der OF the subscribers to the agreement
have vested the voting power in their
shares in proxies other than the per-
sons named in the agreement"
Stress Is laid by Mr.. Ryan on the al
legations that some of the pooled stock
has been sold and some has been voted
by proxies other than the persons
named in the pooling agreement. This.
1t is stated. was disclosed at the Ports
mouth meeting, the terms OF the agree
ment being, 1t Is charged, violated for
the purpose of overcoming the injunc-
ton obtained by Mr.. Ryan restraining
