THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN
LOUISIANA.

Ruston Leader: Do the people OF
Louisiana consider the gravity of the
situation in their State? Men are not
only charged with the crime of making
fraudulent election returns but election
officials in New Orleans have actually
entered plea of guilty to the least
specification of the charge in order to
escape the just sentence of going to the
penitentiary And, too, these frauds
were committed in the interest of a can
didate for an office the incumbent OF
which should be above suspicion-a po-
sition in the highest tribunal of the
State-and whose sense of honor should
have led him to promptly tender his re-
signation, whether he co11nived at the
fraud or not A man who will accept
an office procured by fraud is not wor-
thy of the position.
One of the dearest rights of free
people is that of the franchise, and when
they quietly submit to being defrauded
of free use of that privilege they are
no longer worthy of its exercise.

BAGGING AND TIES
Tariff Should Be Repealed-The South
Robbed in the Guise of Law

New Orleans States: The action ol
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange ii
urging the repeal of the tariff duties OF
bagging and ties is receiving the mora
support of the whole South. The eX-
change has presented strong case tc
Congress which is based on the we'll es-
tablished fact that although the tariff
duty amounts to nearly three cents pei
bale on cotton, no ties are imported into
this country, hence the tax Of three
cents which the Southern farmer is
compelled to pay on every bale of cot
ton he raises does not go into the Fed
eral treasury, but into the pockets OF
the men who manufacture cotton ties.
In other words" says the Charleston
New and Courier, the government has
levied a tax not for its own benefit, but
for the benefit of special interests 1t
makes the cotton producer pay a special
tax for the privilege of using American
ties, when he could use American ties
just as we'll if he did not pay the tax
and would prefer to Use foreign ties
than pay the tax 1t is merely another
instance of thousands of dollars OF
profits having been voted into the pock-
cts of interests friendly to the Republi-
can party, indicating just how easy it is
to wax rich in this country under fav-
orable conditions"
In the case of jute bagging the duty
amounts to about five cents per bale, yet
it is proposed by all arbitrary ruling of
the customs officials to make the tax
four times as much in order to maintain
the monopoly of the bagging and tie
trust and put millions of dollars into its
Golfers, and all Of this money is taken
out of the profits of the Southern farm
cr For years, however, the Western
farmers have been getting their binder
twine free of duty: Why? Because they
have been voting the Republican ticket
and tariff concessions had to be made 10
them to prevent stampede from the
party reservation. On the other hand,
the Southern farmers have been voting
the Democratic ticket, and for this rea-
son they are taxed heavily for the bneft
of a special interest friendly to the Re
publican party.
