The Trolley Lane Lives,

The franchise for the cOnstruc.
tlon and the operation Of trolley
railroad between this place and
the town OF Jeanerette, for a pemod
of 80 years,w sold at auction on
November 10Th, 1902, by authority
OF the act of the Police Jury of this
Parish. The franchise was ad.
Judicated to Gen'l +. +. Myles
Shortly after the sale GenI Mvles
was taken alarmingIy i'll at bis
home on Weeks Island and was
rendered an invalid for many
weeks. During the period of his
illness, naturally, nothing was
done about the matter of the troll
ley line and the public began TO
speculate that it was a dead issue
Last Monday Gen'l Myles was
III town and i'll an interview with
the Iberian, he said that he had
that day put up the $1,000, requir-
ed by the Police Jury as a guran-
tee that the road would be built
within the specified time. In
answer to further inquiries he
stated that he hoped to break
ground by the first of September
next. That arrangements were
being made to thai end.
The New Iberia end or loop, up
Main. out Chestnut and down
Madison streets, would be built
first. A temporary installation of
a dynamo would be arranged at
this place for operating the loop
till the rest of the line could be
completed. From this place the
track building will be carried on
down to Olivier and Jeanerette,
then through the latter town to
the st. Mary parish line.
On last Saturday at Franklin he
purchased the franchise for the
parish of st. Mary. Another build
ing crew will be started on the st.
Mary end of the work, building
both ways from Franklin till the
line shall be completed from New
Iberia to Morgan City.
The central power house will be
located at point between Frank
lin and Centreville, where the
operating current can be driven
in both directions to the ends of
of the line. This is thought to
be the most economical method
for the operation OF the line. The
line will be equipped for handling
freight as well as passengers.
Pleasure resorts will undoubtedly
be established and maintained by
the company.

Trust prosperity.

The cost OF living still continues nb-
normally high. The coal trust, tho
beef trust and the thousands of other
combines are still doing business with
out let or hindrance. Tho railroad
mergers are advancing their rates,
claiming that their expenses have In
creased and their revenue must be In
creased proportionately. These high
prices for about everything must of
course be borne by the consumers, and
as n great proportion Of these earn
wages or salaries that have not been
increased. or II any advance has been
made not TO tho extent that the cost of
living hns increased, their plight is n
serious one. Some OF the thoroughly
organized labor unions have been able
TO force their employers to pay higher
wnges, but the great mass of laborers
do not belong to labor organizations,
and their wages have been raised but
trihe compared TO the increased price
OF what they purchase.
But IL Is the citizen with the fixed in
come that trust prices press the most
heavily upon, such as clerks and others
whose wages do not raise with the cost
OF living. The small hotel and board
Ing house keepers nre having n hard
time to make both ends meet. The
price the conl and beef trusts extort
from those who with the strictest econ
omy In normal times only get living
Is disastrous I'm these times Of trust
prosperity.

One hundred years ago there was no, a
railroad in the world. not steamboat, not
friction match, not a cooking stove, as we
now understand the word. The telegraph
and telephone were not dreamed Of. The
chief light was the tallow candle which
made the darkness visible bu, there began
The Day of His Preparation. The morning
began TO dawn. The temporal power of
the dark ages was taken away, Gods
witnesses stood up. their sack cloth of dead
languages was thrown OH aud the Bible was
scattered in ever, language like autumn
leaves. The increase of knowledge upon
all subjects and its general diffusion was
now possible and inevitable. The time of
the end had come. the starting point for the
fuihllment of the divine prediction, .'many
shall run 10 and fro and knowledge shall be
increased This commingling has given
given fresh impulses to thought and action
and brough, abou, the strange parallel in
crease of dissatisfaction, again fulfilling the
foreseen end, "a time Of trouble such as
never was since there was nation" The
present blessings and preparation for the
incoming age proves a curse, in that the in
crease in knowledge and liberty combined
with the innate selhshness of the depraved
man, will eventoaliy lead TO the very con.
diiion which the leaders Of men see and
dread, and these are generally evolutionists.
The .reirograde movement disputes the logic
OF their hypothesis. Poverty jostles wealth
and watches IL with jealous eyes, The
Gentle misrule must end in disaster. The
judgement, is written and s'all the earth Is
guilty before God"
Ihe theory OF mans progression grandly
upward is Pharisaical and in direct contra.
diction to all Scriptures and also to the
lesson of the ages upon all the scrolls of the
worlds history. All prove the utter In
ability of the fallen race and its need Of the
mighty one of our tex, provided by Jehovah
Himself TO manifest His Righteousness, first
by giving Himself a ransom for all, then
offering share in His glory to His Bride
selected down the age aud even now taking
to Himself His great power preparatory TO
the discipline and instruction Of the race
and rewriting the perfect law upon the
hearts, IN the nature, of all who obey.

THE SUGAR TRUSTS.
They Have Joined Hand. 60 Rob tho
Fnrmer and the Consumer.

Fnrmer and the Consumer.
The sugar trust, officially known as
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, has bought the controlling inter-
est In the Oxnard beet sugar combine,
10 that In future there will bo no moro
competition between these two high
waymen as TO who shall hold up tho
consumer. and we may expect tho
price of refined sugar 70 gradually, II
not rapidly. RISE On the other hand.
II Is probable that the price paid TO tho
farmers for bects viii be reduced, for
the sugar trust will have no incentive
to increase the output of beet sugar
and VIII probably decide TO decrease Il.
The profit on refining cane sugar is
greater than ON manufacturing beet
sugar, In consequence OF the discrimi-
Mating duty OF nearly cent pound
on refined sugar, 10 which must bo
added the countervailing duty. which
Is imposed 20 Offset the export bounty
paid by foreign countries, making tho
actual duty on refined sugar about
2.2o cents q pound. II tho reciprocity
treaty with Cuba is ratified this winter
the sugar trust will have a further nd
vantage OF n 25 per cent reduction ON
all sugar imported from Cuba, and ma
sugar can be grown much cheaper
there than IL can be manufactured
from bccts the outlook for the farmers
who grow beets is not rcassurlng. IL
is stated that the sugar trust magnates
have invested In large acreage OF the
finest Cuban sugar lands, and when
the reciprocity treaty is an accomplish
cd fact these lands Will DO utilized to
produce sugar.
The only hope for the farmers who
grow beets and also for the general
public-the consumers OF sugar-is that
the discriminating and countervailing
duty shall bc abolished. The sugar
trust would then have to reduce the
price OF refined sugar to prevent tho
competition OF the foreign article. As
beet sugar is refined when Il Is manu-
factured from the beets without going
through n separate refining operation,
as the cane sugar does, IL is probable
that the trust you'd find It more prof
liable TO manufacture beet sugar than
to buy and refine the cane raw sugar
when the preferential duty is abolished.
The Democratic position Is that n
reasonable duty on sugar is necessary
TO raise revenue, but the preferential
duty, which allows the trust to In
crease the price to the public and pock-
ct the difference. Is robbery.

A TARIFF LESSON.
An ILLUSTRATION which Plainly show
Up a Piece of Robbery

An ILLUSTRATION which Plainly shows
Up N Piece OF Robbery.
The tarin question is as simple as It
is important. Strange to say, the peo-
pie do not understand It. In fact, very
few realize that they pay tariff taxes
at oil. II they could see the tariff tax
as they see their property or poll taxes
they would never again vote for high
tariffs and high prices
When you 20 to the store to buy
goods you pay so much for tho goods
and so much for the tariff tax upon
them. When you buy pound Of sugar
you pay Q cents for the sugar and 8
cents for the tax on II. II you buy a
pound of bornx you pay Q cents for
the borax and @ cents for the tax. II
you buy fifteen dollar suit of clothes
you pay So tariff tax.
Now, suppose that after you had
bought these goods and started to take
them home two men should stop you at
the store door and demand OF you $5
tax on the suit, 3 cents on each pound
of sugar and 6 cents for every pound
OF borax you had bought, what would
you do?
One OF the men would wear brass
buttons and would represent the gov
ernment. He would claim about two
thirds of the tax on sugar, one-tbird OF
the tax on the suit and none Of the tax
on borax. The other man would wear
no government uniform, but would
hold a tariff club in one hand and n
rorffGoafa or lfaauao f,o.,, o<...<<..,.,.~. a..
the other hand authorizing him to col
lect certain taxes on certain articles.
He would represent the protected
trusts and would claim all OF the tax
on borax. two-tbirds OF the tax on the
suit and one-third OF tho tax on sugar.
AS n law abiding citizen you might
decide to settle with the government
agent, but you most certainly would
deny the right of the trust agent TO
collect taxes from you. But both
agents would tell you that this is a
protected" country and that you must
settle with both or they would confis-
cate your goods-that is, they would
take them all from you without COM
pensation.
Now, again, what would you dot
NOuio SUu pay tneSe tdf1H taxes ana
go home shouting for protection and
for the q. o. p. or would you and your
Deighbors organize a sort OF Boston
tea party" TO put that trust agent out
OF business7
Under our tariff system as II Is you
buy your goods and pay your tariff
and trust taxes all at once. IL is not
necessary for the government and the
trusts to station their agents at every
store door to make the people mad.
The government puts its agents I'm It's
custom h05fses around our borders
and collects the taxes on all the goods
brought into the country. The mer-
chants who import the goods add
the tariff TO the foreign cost, puts on
profit and sell the goods to you. Tho
trusts mark up the prices Of their
goods to match the prices Of imported
goods and let you take your choice.
They have you at their mercy, for you
are inside OF their tariff monopoly wall.
and there IS no escape for you except
to knock down the tarifr wall. This
you can do only with your vote. why
not do it7 B. w. III.
