THERE has probably never been
a time since we became a great in
dustrial nation when this country
was entirely free from strikes and
labor disturbances and the wage
Garner we'll satisfied with his con
dition. 1t, therefore, appears fool
ish in the Democrats trying to
make political capital out of the
fact that in one or two localities
there is trouble between employer
and employe. 1t is true that a bad
governmental policy can greatly
augment to labor disturbances, as
was demonstrated during the last
Cleveland administration, when la
Dor troubles became almost gener-
al, but all unbiased opinion freely
admits that the policy of the pres
ent administration has had its due
influence upon the industrial reviv-
al which is now fully apparent, ex-
cept in the isolated instances refer
ed to.

Stalking the Offices From Behind
Different Cover.

IT is reported from Washington
that the appeal recently issued by
leading silverites to the Populists
and Free Silver Republicans for
united action with the Democrats
in the coming campaign, is not in
tended to be an appeal in behalf of
free coinage so much as it is call
on all the parties to help the
Democrats get the offices. 1t is
intimated that it is the prospect of
official power, and not a matter of
principle, which encourages the
Democrats to solicit fusion. In
other words that party is stalking
the offices from behind the free
silver blind. To a close observer it
is fully apparent that Democratic
actions, when the party is in power,
have no close affinity with the
principles they pretend to advo-
cate. They demonstrated this
clearly under CIcveland's last adj
ministration, after they had cap
turcd the offices by stalking them
from behind the great principle of
free trade.
Many Democrat voted in favor
of free trade only because it was
the means to the offices. They did
not want free trade and trusted to
luck that the party, if it succeeded
to power, would not consider the
necessity of adhcring to its princi
pies as imperative. Just SO, many
Democrats voted for Bryan and
free silver, trusting that if the par
ty won out it would lack the nerve
to embody the ''great principle
of free coinage in a law.
There is no doubt but what &
large number of Democrats believ-
ed honestly in the principle of free
trade, and preferred to see the par
ty 60 to pieces fighting along thai
line than to slip under another
cover and win the offices under
the prctensc that they had discov.
cred principle that was para
mount to any for the welfare OF
the people.
The game is growing wary, how
ever, and the free silver blind i.
not so we'll woven but what Tho
Office stalkcrs can he seen behind it

prices could not advance without

face upon the stamp in lSoS an ad

article of farm produce. They
claimed that protective tariff
would not improve the conditions
of the workmcn. yet they find
factories running where smohcless
chimneys were visible in 1896 and
wages increased and employment
plentiful. They insisted when the
Dinglcy tariff bill was under dis
cnssion in Congress that it would
cut down our sales abroad and
would be insufficient to produce
the necessary revenue at home,
yet they find that our sales abroad
have increased, and that the new
law is now producing revenue at
the rate of over a million dollars Il
day, sufficient to keep pace with
the average expenses Of the Coy
ernmcnt. What will they do about
it! What will they say now!

African Cotton.


Many of our farmers, no doubt, re-
mem Der to have read in the newspapers,
the description of the new cotton
known as "Jackson's African Limbless
Cotton"
Experiments with this cotton have
been made this year in the parish of
Lafayette and ST. Martin. In the latter
place the Editor of The Lafayette Ad
e'ertiser has three acres under cnItiva-
ton and Dr.. Hopkins has foui acres at
Lafayette. Until now the fields of this
cotton have evoked the utmost admira-
ton from the farmers, aud persons
competent to Judge do predict that the
cotton will yield at least two bales to
the acre without the aid of a fertilizer.
During the past year the Editor of
The Lafayette Advertiser had sold GER
tain number of small packages of this
seed and now lie is in daily receipt of
encouraging reports from those who
planted land these reports he pub
lishes in his newspaper for the infOrma-
tion of tho public. Considering the
great advantage of tho African cotton
over the ordinary varieties, it would
seem advisable for Jour own people to
interest themselves in the platning of
the special seed. The lint of this par
LICuluI COtlO1I Is huoWu Jp Dc tnC uDtsO
on tho market, and certificates attesting
this fact can be furnished by Editor
Van der Cruysen, of The Lafayette Ad-
uertiser, TO all who will apply.
This seed will be offered for sale in
limited quantity and orders will he
filled in rotation received. First come,
first served. Only one responsible
agent will be appointed in each parish
and the most rigid precautions will he
taken to prevent fraud by selling spur
iOus seed. All seed will be shipped
direct to buyers. upon the order Of the
agent, by the Editor Of The Lafayette
Adrertiser.
The seed ia question will have the
preference over all "new seed" that may
make their appearance, as experiments
have demonstrated beyond doubt that
this cotton is now we'll adapted to this
latitude.
Applications for agency must he
made to the Editor Of The Lafayette
4duertiser, Lafayette La and appii,
cants must send good references.
The editor Of The advertiser refers to
the following persons as to his good
faith in the handling Of the seed:
CHAs. ID. CAFFERY, mayor of Lafayette
La.

Bank, Lafayette. La,
