tive extortion!
But in all this picture keep in
mind one thing: While prOtec.
tionism lasted bananas would
never reach three for a nickel,
because if they did, that public
enemy - tropical sunshine -
would be master.
What would you have accom-.
plished? Would you have in
creased the wages of labor? Not
a particle. You would merely
have detected capita! from one
channel to another, from one sort
of dollhouse production to an
other, or from production
which was not hothoused at all
into a dollhouse production.
Would you have increased the
demand for labor? Not at all,
because this capital and this Ia
Dor would have gone out of some
thing else-something that with
freer commerce or with free
commerce would have been ma
turally profitable-intot this bust
ness, which, otherwise unprofit-
able, you have by law made profit
able.

Is 1t So Bad?

Saturday Evening Post.
In the work on organized Ia
Dor just issued by John Mitchell,
the union labor leader, he bases
practically his entire argument
on this proposition:
THE average wage-earner has
made up his mind that he must
remain a wage-earner. He has
given up the hope of a kingdom
to come, when he himself will be
a capitalist, and he asks that the
reward of his work be given hi m
as workman"
7 Dismiss the subtle fallacy of
dividing all Americans into two
classes and capitalists.
Take only the bold central prop
osition, that the average Ameri-
cantor the average American
is wage-earner-has aban-
doned am bition, has no hope of
achieving independence. Is it
true?

Republic in bad way. For
only by the continual rising of
a multitude of young men to in
dependence through intelli-
gence, industry and thrift is
there any hope of the perpetual
ton of the democracy. If it is
not true, then can labor leaders
safely base their policy on it and
can laboring men accept and act
upon policy so based?
We fear-and we hope-that
Mr.. Mitchell has got his notions
of the Tailoring man" from the
Europe whence he came, instead
of from the America where he
has himself risen to independ-
ence.

AS ex-senator Jonas has not
seen fit to revise or amend the
stenographic report of his
speech delivered at Washington
Artillery Hall in which he laid
bare his claims as a candidate
for the United States Senator
ship from this State, the com
parisOn which he is reported to
have drawn between the Hayes
Tilden steal in 1876 and the cleo
ton of Senator Foster to the
governorship of Louisiana, re-
mains undenied by him. Mr..
Jonas claims to be working
strictly within party lines and
stoutly refutes any intimation of
his attacking the democratic
party of the State, but if more
wanton and unjust attack has
ever been made by repu blican
against the integrity of the dem
Ocratic organization in Louis
lana, it has escaped our notice.
The robbery of the electoral vote
of Louisiana in 1876 was the cul-
mination of election thievery for
which the republicans of the ma
ton have ever since been
ashamed, and the attack of Mr..
Jonas should receive the merited
rebuke of the party at the polls.
The parish of Lafayette has
never countenanced similar at
tempts. to destroy the demo-
cracy. be them by Pharr or the
younger Gallery, and in spite of
the recognition which it was
willing to; accord Mr.. Jonas at
the outset of his. campaign, we
are certain Lafayette parish, at
least. Will record it's vote in
such q way as. to. convince Mr..
Jonas he can not hope to meet
approval Of such tactics in this
section.

ASZREMSK/ AGAINST
HIMSELF

The following is an extract
from an editorial published in
the Baton Rouge Truth in 1879,
at the time when General Leon
Jastremski was it's editor.
1.-THE great trouble was that
in past years we had too many
barnacles in charge of our poll
tics. and everybody knows what
costly luxury they were.
Between one of the latter class
and politician, as they are
termed,-of brain and energy
we'll take the politician all the
time.
I've are sick of the cry of
the envious demagogues who are
constantly asking that good men,
fresh from the people, be placed
at the head of affairs. We have
many sad examples in our
minds eye of very complete
failures among these pure"
and unauthorized newly hedged
politicians. We begin to believe
that every man is fitted for a
certain station, and that certain
stations are fitted for certain
men. A deviation from this rule
produces those grand failures
that we all know or have heard
of.
ITO those generally who ex-
hibit their loyalty in an intolli
the leadership OF the party or
carnations, and, necessarily, as
their reward of merit or for
services rendered, the stations Of
honor and Of trust. -
There seems to be little rea-
son to reproduce the editorial
unless it be to add to the abund-
ant proof of Jastremski's change
of heart to meet corresponding
changes of conditions. mas
much as it has become the Gus
tom to impugn Judge Blan-
of the primary system despite
his unrivaled practical work to
obtain it's adoption by the State
Central Committee, it may not
be amiss to furnish evidence of
the generals position concern
ing his pet Issue" at time
when Louisiana was actually
ruled by men before whom Jas
tremski bent the most suppliant
knee.
If his record as the dearest
darling of Houston and the
Louisiana State Lottery, the in
carnation of bossism, does not
belle his present words, then
perhaps this newly adduced
proof will be of assistance to
those of a doubtful disposition
in arriving at a conclusion.

BANANA ZHEORY
BANANA

SlSSlpp1 SalO Cne 1OllOWln& In u
speech delivered on Cuban reci-
prOcity:
Protection. Mr.. Chairman, is
a system of taxation whereby
many are robbed in order that a
few may be hothoused by ]egis-
lation into artificial prosperity.
AS supplementary definition,
protection is a system of taxa
ton whereby capital and labor
are detected from naturally
profitable pursuits and enter
prises into channels of natu rally
improbable pursuits and enter
prises. And, as corollary,
the method whereby they are de-
fiected is by the enactment of
laws forcing the consumer to
pay to the artificial hothoused
enterprises a higher price than
with free commerce the con-
sumner would have to pay.
That brings me, Mr.. Chair
man, to my favorite banana
theory. There is in the United
States, I suppose, one hundred
acres of land where bananas can
be grown in the open air, and
yet could, were I the legislating
body of this country, or were l
the Gar with absolute power
and disposed to make the people
pay the price for it, create a
Great American Banana In
dustry." I could put a tax of
one dollar apiece on bananas
which are now selling in the
streets three for nickel, and
inside of five years I could, with
a good custom house service,
have created and exploited a vast
banaua industry. 1t is true
that a great many people who
formerly ate bananas could not
ny any b ananas at all, and some
people would have to buy fewer
bananas; but it is also true that
great many people, who are
plu tOcratS and ariStOcratS, would
eat them because the common
people -Dagoes, Jerseymen and
MississippianS- not.
I'll continued that system of
taxation in existence for twenty
years, at the end of that time
there would have come to the
front a new generation that
knew not Joseph" nor cheap
bananas; and the moment SEN
sible people came into power
with the idea Of revising the
banana schedule these gentlemen
who knew not Joseph" and had
gone into the American banana
business and perhaps formed a !
banana trust would come to the
com mittee room of the national |
legislature, knocking upon the |
doors all the time, and giving
utterances to cries of unutter-
able woe: Are you going to
strike down the Great American
Banana Industry; are you going
to reduce the duty from a dollar
a piece on bananas to 80 cents? |
We can't stand it. It will ruin
US. Are you going to make the !
people engaged in banana rails
ing go to the soup houses? Are
you going to discriminate in
favor of pauter tropical sun
shine against self-respecting
American dollhouse laborers?"
Let us stop a moment and fol-
low the banana theory a little
further, because I am fond of
bananas. What would have
been the result of tablishing
that industry? Merely this,
that you would have detected a
certain amount of American
capital and a certain amount of
labor engaged in the
general dollhouse industry into
1 different channel of dollhouse
and instead of
having their hothouses for the
purpose they have them now
hey would have converted them
nto banana nurseries, and the
consumers would be paying a

Thinks All Are Too Well Paid.

Among officeholders in WASHINGTON
Comptroller Tracewell of the treasury
is regarded as a most extraordinary
person. Mr.. Tracewells salary is S.
500, and he thinks he is overpaid.
Worse than entertaining such heter-
odox opinion, however, is the fact that
he has not hesitated to give express
sion thereto. During the recent ses-
sion of congress he was giving a SUBJ
committee some information regard
ing his Office. The chairman compli-
mented him by saying: you are the
first man government officer who has
appeared before us who did not ask
for an increase of salary" Tracewell
replied bluntly: I'm getting a blank
sight too much now" In private con-
versatior :ater he said: "Considering
the hours of their labor and their re-
sponsibilities government employees
are paid more than any other class of
men in the world.' All of which is
regarded in bureaucratic circles as
little short Of revolutionary.

Kettle heaped with many kinds of

began to eat.
You relish them, my master?"

The vezier shrugged his shoulders.
These fruits are sweet for the mo-
ment, he said; "but show me a fruit
the sweetness Of which will endure
even unto the Judgment Day."
Such fruits there are. nv mas.

toward the Mesched Husa, where he
awoke the starving orphans in tho
