McENERY Is ALL RIGHT.

Senator NcEnery is just now A very
much discussed man praised and
lauded by some and abused and viii
fed by others. Some Democrats an
prove of his course on the tariff bill
and others condemn It while some
Republicans claim that he is now n
of theirs. Few of his critics however.
if any, doubt the sincerity of the
man ; and certain it is that he has
sndeaied himself very much to the
people of Southern Louisiana by tile
strong fight he has made for sugar and
rice, not to speak Of lumber.
the SENTINEL's views on the tariff
question are well known, and scarcely
need repetition here. 1t is opposed to
the protective system and believes it
to be a wrong system of political
economy. Ii being practically certain,
however, from the political complex
ion Of congress, that the protective
system would once more be resorted
to as the financial policy Of the coun-
try, it is expedient that our industries
should be equally protected with
others. While we are made to pay
for the protection Of others, it would
be pig headed obstinacy 70 refuse
protection for ourselves. Tariff for
revenue with incidental protection,
we believe to be the best policy for
the greatest number, and would like
to see adopted as a permanent fiscal
system in this country, feeling sure
that under 1t there is ample room to
reasonably protect all American 10
dustriss deserving protection !; but if
high protection, for projections sake,
without regard to the needs Of the
government for a revenue.
lie to be established in the land,
and our people are to be made 10
contribute to support Other industries,
why then we are selfish enough, nay,
prudent enough, to demand that other
people contribute to the support of
our industries. If it ia to be a grab
game, we propose to put our hand into
the bag also and take our chances of
drawing a prize.
This is our point of view, and for
that reason We have approved from
the start the course of Congressman
Broussard, Davey and Meyer and Of
Senator McEnery, and don't believe
their democracy lie affected 10 the
lsast by their vote on the tariff bill,
even if it should be conceded rguen
do that the difference of opinion on
the tariff issue is the only line Of
deuarcation between the two GREAT
parties. They have simply taken
the best care Of their people possible
under the circumstances, ard in doing
30 have simply discharged their duty
towards their constituents. Politi-
clans may try to make capital OF what |
they are pleased to call their incon-
sistency, but the people will yindicate
them at the proper time.
