The Hunter Canal.

Few of our readers probably are
aware of the magnitude and impor-
lance of the great %irrigating canal
now being Constructed through the
prairie west of the Vermilion river,
in Vermilion parish. 1t is known as
the Hunter Canal, as SamueiS. Hun
ter of Shreveport is at the head OF
the enterprise. The canal begins at
a point about ten miles above Abbe-
vile. The line is straight west seven
miles to aButte Rouge" the planta-
ton of John Abshire, Jr., thence
southwest to the plantation of Alcide
Landry, six mites to "Wester Ogle,'
the plantation of David Todd, MAX
ing in all thirteen miles. The coun-
try through which it passes is a gen.
tly u~ndulating prairie, nov largely in
closed and cultivated in cane, corn
and rice. The canal, which is really
a vast water conduit, is $50 feet wide
from tip to tip of the side l@eyees, and
will carry water to the thousands OF
acres of the richest lands in Louis
lana. The surveys have been made
and the rights of way obtained as
fat SIS the plantation last mentioned,
and the work is being vigorously
pushed along the route. There are
hundreds of men and teams at work
now, and more are advertised for.
The water supply for the canal will
be practically unlimited, and tits cal
culated that over 5000 acres a be
irrigated. The lands of this section
are very rich and produce cane as
well as rice. The trouble heretofore
has been the lack of refineries fol
cSSe and of transportation facilities,
and heretofore there has been &c
sure way of irrigating the rice crops.
Now all these difficulties are removed
and these rich lands have suddenly
taken a great rise in value and a great
country has been developed.

man ever made. Mr.. Ingalls, bril-
liant prose, enlivened by anecdot'
and strengthened by first-hand knowl
edge, is well worthy of his subject
In connection with these papers, fac
SMILES of unpublished letters from

will appear in the Post of Aug. 26.

TRUSTS AND PROTECTION.
MOnOpOIieS Have Multiplied and
FlOurished Under Repub-
Iicau Rule.

Trusts and protection are yokefel-
lows. They pull together and advance
the prosperity of the money power.
Not so very long ago Mckinley was
talking about protecting the Infant IN
dustry' of manufacturing tin plate.
Now the tin plate trust is one of the
most oppressive of corporations. Tin
plate is difficult to obtain because it is
protected by the tariff and production
has been curtailed by the trust
In the market reports it is stated
that owing to the short supply" tin
plate is advanced in price TO $3.50 a box,
an increase of $50 a box in the last
six months.
Tin plate workers are thrown out of
employment, operatives are discharged,
wages reduced, production cut down in
order to force prices up.
If there are million boxes of tin
plate produced in this country annual
ly this action of the trust has taxed
the people of the United States just
81, 500 coo.
Thus the republican administration
has levied an impost of 81 100000 on the
people for the express purpose of max
ing the tin plate manufacturers rich.
There can be no foreign competition.
McKinley's Infant industry" is amply
protected by the tariff.
What do the people think of repub-
lican lawmaking when in this one in
stance it is shown that it costs them
$1.500;000 year?
The tariff is great thing for the
trusts, and the trust managers knew
this when they invested millions of dol
lars in campaign funds to buy votes for
cKinley.-Chicago Democrat.
