Governor Blanchard Recognizes
Choice Of the Voters.

A commission as Assessor for
Winn parish has been issued to
Mr.. j. T. Durham and he is now
holding the trust voted to him
last spring by the people Of this
parish.
There were many who did not
believe that the endorsement of
the people would be recognized
by Governor Blanchard in the
matters of assessor, but we are
pleased to record that the wishes
Of majority of Winn parish
voters have been recognized.
Mr.. Durham was endorsed after
two hard fought elections against
some of the best men of our par
lsh and even those who did not
support him in the elections felt
that he should be gwen the APP
pointment. The wishes of a ma
j)rity have been respected and
Mr.. Durham is assessor for the
coming four years.
Mr.. Durham is well known to
all the people of the parish. He
II a young. self-made man. who

and counts his friends by the

ties of the position have been

We feel safe in venturing assur-
aree that the affairs of that

carefully looked after during the
next four years.

WHAT TWO DOLLAR WHEAT WILL

MAY wheat is going to two dollars. -
Is the cry of the gamblers in the wheat
pits. Republican organs echo the cry
and follow it with "Hurrah for Roose-
velt and Prosperity"
Prosperity for whom? Probably not
for the farmer. certainly not for the
consumer. If by any chance wheat
should go to two dollars a bushel, the
price Of -four would advance CORE
spondingly. There would be an in
crease of 100 per cent. in the price of
bread. This might !,.case few people,
comparatively speaking, but it would
be great hardship to millions and tens
of millions of wage earners who find
bread dear enough at present prices.
The only way in which bread riots could
be prevented if wheat should really
go to two dollars per bushel. would be
by the repeal of the duty of twenty-five
cents per bushel on wheat, and even
that might only relieve the situation
in a measure. This is one of the many
taxes on food stuffs levied to fool the
farmer, who in an ordinary year Ia
able to supply the home demand. and
to export besides.

CARL SCHURz IN DEMAND.
The Venerable German-AmeriCan
Statesman Earnest for the
Democratic Ticket.

German-American voters in all parts
of the country are eagerly awaiting the
appearance of Carl Schurz ON the
stump. Germany has given to this
country many able and distinguished
men, but Carl Schurz is the most
famous of all. AS a political guide he
is careful and courageous, not because
he belongs to any party, but because
when he announces his course in politi.
cal crisis, every citizen who knows the
record of American politics, knows that
he does so because, as a statesman of
intelligence and conviction, he believes
that course will be the better one for
the welfare of the nation. :"
Mr.. Schurz will be of great service
to the Democracy in New York, New
Jersey. Wisconsin. Indiana and Illinois
States, which owe their greatness in
large measure to the enterprise and
loyalty of an-Americans. In each
of these States "a blast from out his
bugle-horn were worth ten thousand
men"

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.

Enthusiastic Democrats are deriving
considerable pleasure in figuring over
the recent Democratic gain in Maine.
The returns show Democratic gain
Of 80 per cent. and Republican gain
Of Is per cent. over the vote Of 1902.
Similar changes elsewhere would give
New York to Parker by plurality of
$1,000, New Jersey by 5000, Rhode
Island by 5000. Maryland by $4,000.
Nebraska by 5000 and Utah by 800.
These, with the States carried by
Bryan In 1900. would be exactly enough
to elect. In addition. Delaware, West
Virginia and Indiana would be In
doubt II these percentages Of gain
were to prevail.

CHOOSE FOR YOURSELF

In q piece Of literature now being
disseminated by the National Demo.
cratic Committee two widely different
word pictures are presented, giving
estimates of the general makeup Of
Che two Presidential candidates.
With the suggestion in bold type:
LOOK HERE, UPON THIS
PICTURE"
ernor Blacks speech nominating Mr..
Roosevelt at the Republican conven-
tion, June %, 1904:
Men may prophesy and women
pray, but peace will come here to
abide forever on this earth only when
the dreams of childhood are the ac-
cepted charts to guide the destinies Of
men. Events are numberless and
mighty, and no one can tell which wire
runs around the world. The nation
basking to-day in the quiet of content
ment and rspose may still be on the
deadly circuit, and tomorrow writhing
in the tolls of war; Only the
man with steady eye and nerve and
the courage to pull the trigger brings
the largest opportunities to the
ground"
This is followed by "Roosevelts En-
dorsement," from the New York Times,
May 20, 1904, as follows: Washing
ton, May 19.-The speech which Mr..
Root is to make as temporary chair
man, the speech which Ex-Governor
Black is to make in placing the Presi-
dent In nomination, and the various
planks Of the platform, which is to be
shaped by Senator Lodge, all have
been considered and disposed of to the
satisfaction of the President and his
advisers"
Taking flashing glimpse at Judge
Parker, and with special reference to
the suggestion to Look here, upon this
picture" on the other side, the re-
verse suggests:
AND ON THIS"
the document quotes from the speech
of Hon. Martin w. Littleton, Eominat.
ing Judge Parker. before Democratic
Convention, July 8. 1904:
''The country called upon New York
for a man to fit this, the critical hour
and place in our national life, and New
York answers with a man who puts
against the strenuous sword play Of
swaggeri4g administration, simple
faith in all the perfect power of the
Constitution; man who puts a. .ilst
executive usurpation a knowledge of
and deep love for the poiso and bal
ance Of It's three great powers; a
man who puts against the stealthy
hunt with the big stick faithful OBJ
servance Of constitutional restraints"
This is followed by Judge Parker's
Endorsement" from his speech of &C.
ceptance, Aug. 10. 1904:
"The most efficient work we can do
in uplifting the people of other coun-
tries Is by the presentation of hap
py, prosperous, self-governing nation
as an ideal to be emulated, a model to
be followed The general occupation
of our citizens in the arts of peace, or
the absence of large military arma-
ments, tends to impair neither patriot
ism nor physical courage"

TARIFF and LABOR.
hiQh Prices for Manufactured Good
and Low Prices for Labor.

Workingmen sell labor and buy
goods. 1t Is to their interest to have
labor dear and goods cheap. How can
a tariff on goods protect labor? 1t
cannot and does not Workingmen can
never be protected by any tariff on
goods, while labor is left on the free
list and immigrants can flood this
country with cheap labor, as they are
now doing
Labor on the free list means the
cheapest possible labor in our protect.
ed mills. Tariff-taxed goods means
the highest possible prices for manu-
factured goods. This sort Of protec.
tion works beautifully for the manu-
facturers, but very poorly for the EN-.
ployees. 1t is, in fact, swindle on the
American workingman, for 1T compels
him to pay American prices for goods
while selling his labor practically at
European wages. If day or week
wages are higher here it is because our
workers do more work and not be
cause Of tariff taxes upon goods,
The humbug of the tariff, SO far as
labor is concerned, was we'll summed
up by Hon. William D. Kelley, pro
tectionist leader in Congress in 1872
when he said: Eyes, men are on the
free list. They cost us not ever
freight. We promote free trade in
men, and it is the only free trade !
am prepared to promote.
A tariff on goods, by barring out for.
eign goods, makes it easy for our
manufacturers to form trusts and put
up prices. This they have done. Prices
are now from 35 to 40 per cent. higher
than In 1897, when the Dingley bill,
which greatly increased tariff duties
on goods, became law Trusts and
monopolies now control the prices OF
nearly everything. A leading Republi
can Congressman, Mr.. Littlefield, oi
Maine, had printed in the Compression.
al Record o. February rs. 1903. list
Of 800 trusts with capitalization Of
nearly $4,000. 100000 The most OF
these trusts have been formed since
1897.
1'ne Dingley bill did not put q duty
on labor to keep out foreigners and to
protect American wages. 1t left labor
on the free list and 5000 immigrants
day, or nearly 1000. 1000 a year. are
landing in this country to compete with
American workingmen and keep wages
down. When workinSmen strike for
higher wages or shorter hours their
places are often filled by these for.
eigners Many strikes are lost or part.
Of foreigners, all looking for work. If
the workers now on strike in the cot.
ton mills, steel mills, beef packing
houses, etc., are lost, it will be be.
cause there is plenty of idle labor, and
1t Is easy for employers to obtain
workers at lower wages. In fact, the
employers would not have permitted
or encouraged strikes, had it not been
for this great influx Of foreign labor
and for the fact that high tariffs and
high trust prices have Frustrated our
industries and thrown thousands of
men out of employment.
The tariff must be changed somehow,
II the workingmen are to be benefited
by it.
