OH, SUGAR.!

There is nothing behind these tariff
bowls but selfish greed. Investigations
show that many times manufacturers
have been bending their knees to
Washington in humble supplication for
tariff help, while they were actually
selling their goods to foreigners in
foreign lands much cheaper than they
would sell them to our home people.
1t is certainly discouraging to the
people to be taxed for the benefit of
an industry and after years of taxes to
find that the industry goes to pieces
when the tax Is partially removed;
that the money donated was simply
passed on to wealthy Eastern interests
by unlawful trust operations; that the
tariff simply brought about a spider
and fly game, with the Eastern interest
the spider. the trust the web, the Re.
publican party the frome to which the
web is fastened, and the sugar planters
the fly If you doubt this, read the
petitions in the sugar suits, which
amount to $17S,000,00O. We had bet
ter stop that trust leak" and let the
tariff alone.-Democrat in Times-Pic.

WANT ASSESSMENTS REDUCED.

Twenty-one sugar parishes made ap,
peal to the state board of equalization
to secure a reduction of their assess
ment by at least one-third. They as
sert that in proportion to the values
placed upon other parishes In north
and kest Louisiana they are over-as-
sessed Iberia's average farm land as.
sessment is $13.13 per acre and it's
average product $24.29, while Caddo
lands that produce $13.61 per acre are
assessed at only 1913 and that Vernon
land valued at 81 per acre produces
$1021. They claim that on land as.
sessed at $7.09 the st. Martin farmer
gets $1099 worth of product while the
Desoto farmer produces $11.32 an acre
on land assessed at $1.69.
AS illustrative of the inequalities of
assessment the movement is an object
lesson at least.

The claim of the progressives is
that during the current year there
have been more bank failures and
plantations sold under the hammer"
In Louisiana than ever before. Such
being the case, was it due to the tariff
reduction which has not been in eff
feet as far as the sugar and rice crops
are concerned? Were not last years
crops sold under the famous Payne
Aldrich tariff? Then who is RESPONSE
BILE for these bank and plantation
ures?--Lafayette Press.
1t shows that sugar-farming has been
over-financed, hence the mere prospect
OF adverse legislation made a cabin
OF loans imperative. An industry that
depends on legislative protection is not
sufficiently sound at the base to be
truly helpful to the producer.
