Of government officials have had much
to do with the present sad state of
affairs, but the responsibility does not
end there; the guilt does not rest here
alone.
Every man who has suffered himself
to be tainted with the scab of specula-

credit of Confederate securities; every
man who has withheld any necessary of
life has done his worst to ruin the coun-
try; every one, man or woman, who has
yielded to the solicitations OF vanity or
appetite, and refused to submit to any
privation, however slight, which an ex-
penditure, however great, could prevent

Secretary Houston believes that

Quoted proftably to take the

sugar growing, and that in the
cotton section of Louisiana cattle

badly injured by the boil weevilI

The secretary of agriculture is
not ready at this time to recon-
