The Central Bank Idea.

SENATOR ALDRICH, who is connected with
the Rockefeller interests and various ether cen
tralizationists, are advocating a central bank.
The WALL STREET JOURNAL, which is an active
advocate of the idea, had a recent editorial on
our waste of gold, indicating that if all this gold
were in a central bank it would become the
foundation of the currency for the entire coun-
try and prevent the financial disasters that have
occasionally enveloped the whole country. This
is part Of the Capitalization scheme which it be-
comes every good democrat to resist. Every
state in the union is a sovereign state and it
should retain as far as possible the complete
control in every respect of all of it's own affairs
and relegate and delegate nothing to the central
government that can properly be handled at
home. A central bank with a gold reserve Of
from five hundred to a thousand millions Of
dollars would unquestionably be a very strong
organization, but it would be necessary to have
men control it, and as it would be contemplated
to have it a private institution. the control being
in private hands, would subject the entire cour-
try to the domination of this one bank. Even
then, it's success in maintaining the financial
equilibrium might be a matter of doubt. if we
recall the fact that the failure of the Earrings in
London in 1883 created such a panic there, fol-
lowed a few years later by one in the United
States, that the Bank Of England could not, or
did not prevent, although itmade earnest efforts
in that direction and perhaps prevented none
tary affairs from being much worse than were
%autually realized.
1t is now reported that the western bankers
are generally opposed to the idea of a central
bank and we are led to believe that they realize

The Meat Boycott.

THE meat boycott that is now on in many of
the northern states, tens Of thousands OF peo-
pie having pledged themselves to eat no meat
for thirty days and thousands OF people wearing
buttons bearing such legends as | eat no meat,
do you?' etc, shows the earnest protest that Is
going on right or wrong, over the entire United
States against the efforts Of the Meat Trust to
monopolize the meat business. Hon. James
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, now indicates
that the farmers realize very little Of the
enormous advance in food stuffs and that the
lions share is taken by the dealers that inter-
vene between buyer and seller and, by his init
nation, is taken particularly by the retailers.
On the other hand, Philip Ogden Armour now
declares that the high prices Of food stufTs is
attributable to the fact that there is a re-
stricted production throughout the United States
and an actl a r4'at We scatc y as compared with
ire previous ample supply. In other words, he
would argue that the farming community
is acquiring sufficient wealth to abandon the
farms and to seek the delights of the city and
the diminished production Of farm products is
the result.
We are not sure that we, here in southern
Louisiana, have much to complain Of, provided
we avail of our own possible resoul :e5 to any
reasonable extent. We live in a land Of sun
shine and shower, of fertile lands and grassy
fields and if we pay fifty cents Ley pound FOR
butter to its producers in Iowa, Wisconsin and
Illinois, it is certainly our own fault. If we buy
condensed milk, as unhappily ve Go in extraor-
dinarily large quantities and thus encourage and
enrich the farmers Of the remoter states Of the
union by these purchases and don't even have
cows for a domestic supply at home, then sc
ourselves are in fault and tie remedy lies with
US. Let US give a little more attention to the
production of staple food stu1fs, for mar and
beast, even if it c~urtails in some degree the pro-
duction of our staple crops made for sale to
others. In this way we can quickly enrich our
selves without impoverishing others and avail
of the natural resources of our country. There
is probably no country on earth where people
can live more cheaply than in the Parish Of
Plaquemines and yet it is one Of the least rich
of the parishes of the state, ranking COMPARE
lively low in educational resources and in the
evidences of general wealth. A bountiful ma
ture has done much for us, but we have been a
little slow in seconding natures efforts to pro-
duce the best possible results. We are work.
ing, however towards that end and shall un-
vuestionably realize final success, but we trust
that it will come quickly.

the truck growers side Of the question. There
was much controversy as to the quality Of the
cars furnished the truck growers, some Of them
being even filthy ard others not sufficiently per-
feet to exclude the weather. The requirements
of the railroads were generally for minimum
weights in excess Of what the cars could CRY
without injury to the top part of the load and this
was so esneciallv in the refrigerator cars, where
the refrjgaratjnc effect only extended perhaps
tvo-thjrIs Of the way I'D in the car. All the
produce above that. failing Of refrigeration,
frequently spoiled because thereof. The rail
road men were DISPOSED to criticize the farmers
charging them with asking for undue advant-
ages and asking for an investigation Of gains,
but without profering any investigation of
the railroads gains in the work. IN the early
history of the work of the Illinois Central Rail-
road at PontchatouIa, that railroad did all it
could 70 promote the truck gardening business.
Later on, as the business grew, then the rail
road began to raise the prices, probably under
that somewhat famous. or Infamous, rule to
make the freights pay as high a rate as they
will bear.

and was one of the pioneeYs. He said that he
believed that the Illinois Central Railroad mis-
represented the possible profits in the truck
gardening business and that he was quite con-
tent to make far less than any Of the figures
that they gave. He stated that it was useless
for the farmers to load the cars beyond a GER
tain height and claimed that he was told by the
Illinois Central lnloaders in Chicago that they
threw lots of the stuff away, as the cars were
loaded too heavily. Mr.. Keaghey, the secre-

downtown district this evening de-
stroyed the Metropolitan Steamship
company's quarters on Pier IA. North
river.
Three alarms were turned In and
o o dozens of engines and all avail
able fireboats were on the scene.
A quantity of inflammable material
stored on the pier rapidly spread the
flames.
The steamer Harvard. one Of the
finest vessels Of the Metropolitan
line, plying to Boston. was U into
tho river barely In time to escape.
Flames burst out on her portable. but
were quickly e~xtinguished.
The blaze was the most spectacular
In many years. The loss 10 probably
$500. 600.
Several steamers were menace0
and n tug fled to midstream ablaxe.
Pier Is 500 caught fire.
Several lei were reported trapped
on Pier II. but the police declared
that they probably jumped into the
water. A number of horses wero In
cinerated.
The Lackawanna railroad company's
pier was threatened and after tho
fourth alarm vas turned In, efforts
were conferred on this pier. +
When the fire was at its height,
1000 persons were clogging the neal.
by streets. The reserves from half =
dozen stations had their hands full.
The fire started on Pier II, former.
~ used by the Red River line. Tna
first flames . were IN q stack Oe
wicker chairs. which went up like
matches, spreading the flames with
terrific rapidity.
Pier. is formerly used by tho Ameri-
can line, was soon ablaxe and BY the
time the shrieking fireboats began to

wal already nj Of tho worst tho wat
erfront has Ser In years.
So intense was the heat that the
firemen afloat and on land were ser.
iously hampered. The landsmen could
get no closer than . block to the heart
OF the blaze.
John Calvin, longshoreman, trapped
on the end OF Pier is. saved himself
by diving into the river.
The smoke filled the lower end Of
Manhattan and delayed traffic on tho
North river for q time.
Two men, named johnson and
Holmes, trapped on Pier Is. jumped
only after they were terribly burned.
They jumped into the river and were
almost drowned. At the hospital. Is
