CHEAPER COAL.

The Omaho Bee thinks that coal
consumers will find some satisfac-
ton in the fact that the independ-
ent producers in she anthracite
coal region, or SOME OF them, are
no longer disposed to submit to
the oppressive dictation of the
railroad operate who control
most OF the mines aid whose
policy hitherto has been such as to
operate to the disadvantage Of the
independent mine owners.
A recent report states that one
of the largest independent pro-
ducers in the anthracite field has
refused absolutely to obey the
edict of the four big producing
companies. The dispatch says:
"Up to the time Of the strike in
1902 the big companies ruled the
smaller producers with rod of
iron. When they ordered a shut
down not pound of coal would
be shipped during the prohibited
period. Since the strike, however,
the Independents have struck out
for themselves and now refuse to
take orders from the trust"
While the Independent pro-
ducers constitute only small
part Of the anthracite production,
they are sufficient of a power to
make themselves felt if they will
persist in refusing to allow the big
companies to rule them as they
have hitherto done. The inde-
pendent producers are at disad-
vantage because Of the fact that
the railroads are under the control
of the big producers and can deny
the independents transportation,
but it may be possible to find
remedy for this. At any rate,
if the independent producers will
hold out in their opposition to the
oppressive policy of the big COM
panies they are certain to enlist
public sympathy and this will be
no small help to them. The posi-
ticn reported to operators in the
anthracite region gives promise of
better conditions in the interest of
consumers.

Election Notice.

FRANKLIN, La. March 5th. 1904.
In compliance with the provisions of
the Charter of the town of Franklin, I
hereby give notice that an election will
be held at the Court House in this town
on the second (2ndD Gay OF May, 1904,
from o'clock n. NJ. to Z O'Clock p. m,
for the purpose Of electing one ~ Mayor
and five (5) Councilmcn to serve daring
the coming two years.
JOHN C. LEWIS, Mayor.

The truth of the matter is, the
knffng of the Dingley tariff law
by the Republicans in the enact
ment of q reciprocity treaty with
Cuba by the Republicans, will not
absolutely destroy the sugar in
dustry of Louisiana, since we i'm
ported heavily of foreign sugars
to supply the demand of the
American people, but that it will
injure its development very ma
terially is not to be doubted. Our
sugar imports from Europe repre-
scented an enormous revenue to
the government. Under reciproc-
ity with Cuba this revenue will be
largely; if not entirely cut down.
Reciprocity will not make up for
this loss by any method that we
can discern, nor can it be seen
how it will be gained from the
beneficiaries of the reciprocity
measure. Hence, while it may he
possible that the American con-
sumner will get sugar at feebly
reduced price, he will suffer on the
other hand by an increased bur-
den Of government.
In this region of the state, 1.-THE
parish of St. Mary above all 9TH
ers), sugar has been the heaviest
and best paying staple crop. In
view Of present conditions, plant
ers would do we'll to watch the fu-
ture cotton, in the cultivation Of
which our lands are as we'll adapt
ed, is getting to be king once
more, as it was in ante-bellum
days. Not only is the price of the
staple itself source of much
profit, but the big products also
yield handsome returns. The seed
produces oil, the residue is
splendid feed for cattle. Cattle of
good breeds and in prime condi-
ton command good price at all
times owing to their grow
ing scarcity. We suggest to
our planters the turning of some
of their attention to cotton; to our
an Oil mill, along with
the breeding and feeding of good
breeds of live stock.

II. as Mr.. Wilson declare

II, as Mr.. Wilson declares, the
farmers have relieved the nation
OF foreign Indebtedness, what has
the nation done for the farmer in
return for this great work? Much
indeed, say the lawmakers. Uni
versities, colleges, institutes, ex-
pertinent stations, etc, have been
established for the education OF
farmers and their children, and re-
search and investigation have been
provided to solve perplexing farm
problems. All these are granted,
but their effect is not so much to
make the farmer independent as
to enable him to produce more and
still further increase his exports.
His product values are left in the
hands Of spectators, who play
shuttlecock with them, without
any thought or care of the interest
of those who produced them.
And not only so. Laws are act
ually on the statute books which
enable certain people to compel
these same farmers to pay more
for the implements with (which
they make the crops that pay our
foreign debts than foreign farm
ers, who compete with us in the
worlds markets, are required to
pay for the very same implements
made by the same parties.
How can American manufacture
ers ship farm implements to for
eign countries and sell them ,or
less money than American far n
ers are compelled to pay for the
same implements?
