Mntertd at Ike Post-Office at Thibsdaaz, La os second class matter. 8ATUKDAY AUGUST 22, 1896. DEMOCRATIC TICKET. For President: WILLIAM J. BRYAN, Of Xebiaeku. For Vice President: HATH UK SEWALL, Of Maine. MCKINLEY IV1LL SOT SPEAK. The New York World says : "The Republican candidate will find no challenge or piuvocatiou iu Mt. BrvanV speech to give "Protection" the prominent (dace in his letter which it is said that he will do. Tiie people are not thinking about the tariff this year. If they were to think they Would conclude that a tariff which avcisigee 50 per rent, higher than the war taiilf <>f 1862, and is (jnite as high as the Republican Com mission lantf of 1883. does nor require raising for the pinpo-es of pio'cction. As for revenue, the people would re member that Mr. McKinley increased the tariff in 1890 avowedly r.* reduce the revenue, and that his bill accom plished its purpose but too well. They could not be made to accept the stu pid paradox that an increase in the tariff is equally effective in stopping a surplus or supplying a deficit. If Mr. McKinley expects any eonfid erable number of sound-money Demo cratic votes—and without them he CADnot be elected—he will keep his protection hobby-horse well at the teat of the canvass." That lie will do, for the word has already been passed by the Grand Master of Ceremonies, Maik Aurelius Hanna that the Napoleon of Protec tion must not take the stump. He must preserve his silence: it is said to to lie "goldeu." No, McKinley will not speak; and for a good and sufficient reason. He will not speak because he dares not. He dares net speak because he reali zes that speech will cost him many many votes. The candidate of tlie manufacturers, trusts and combines, be cannot speak without advocating a high tariff, for that would displease the potentates of high piotectiou. But it be advocates a high tariff he will drive from his euppmt prospec tive votes from the ranks of the gold Democrats. Again, if he should come oat strong fur gold, his former fiee silver utterances will he quoted on him and he will be put on the defensive at once. Again, should he take the stump the gold standaid people who suspect his weakuoss for the white metal will be apt to ask him to defiue his posi tion. Otheis again, will ask him to define his views on the question of bond issues to keep up the preseut standard. No, McKiDley will not speak ; and we can't blame him ; lie has chosen wisely circumstanced as he is. Even if "silence were not golden," iu his case, it is certainly the best policy. So "mum is the word, boys." WILL HELP BRYANS CAUSE. Hon. W. Bourke Cockrao, the emi nent New York orator has opened up the caiupaigu of the gold Democrats by a speech in Madison .Square Garden. His speech purports to answer Mr. Bryan's acceptance speech. It may or may not be a refutation ol Mr. Bryan's argument; much depends opou the color of the mental spectacles through which it is viewed. Some gold bogs have declared it to be a crushing an swer, while siiverites characterize it as a lame attempt at au answer; so that on Uiat score honors may be said to be pretty easy. Bat from another point ot view, it is oar candid opinion that it will help Mr. Bryan'scanseinstoad of barmingi t. There is a growing feeling among the masses, assuming more definite shape as time progresses, that the straggle is fast resolving itself into one between the masses, the people, the great common people, and the moneyed classes a bo seek to contiol legislation to promote their individual interests. Now, Mr. Cockran is generally believed to be allied with the moneyed classes and to be their mouthpiece. Indeed, there was some newspaper talk some few days ago, that he wooid receive a handsome fee from the Republican managers to make "sound money " speecues; and this belief, connected with this rumor, will but serve to in tensify the prejudices of the masses against the classes. The suiroundings ot the meeting at which lie spoke ; the parties at the head of it and their standing in the financial world; his references to the South and West; his appeal to the interests aud prejudices of the Eastall these things aie cal culated to arouse the free coinage peo ple to teuewed exertion in their cause aod to inlist a tectional fieliog in their favor. DID IT TO CHASTISE \THE ~ 8C0AR PLANTERS. MlCEHjCZr - =W35U88 In oar last issue we commented up on tlie explanation given by the Be* publicans in their campaign book for putting sugar on tlie tree list, there is one additional point to notice. It is the virtual coi tessinn made by them that they did it to chastise the sugar planters : to teach them a lesson ; and they boast that the lesson was effec tive. The Republicans took the dnty off sugar in order that they might laise the duties on the mantifactiiied arti cles of the East. That is the nnvai iiislo d Huth and no amount of ((nibbling can successfully ilisloit it. They were willing in sacrifice sugar, that they might still further protect the already highly protected manu factures of the East. But admitting for the sake of the argument, that sugar was put on the free list to "give the Southern free ttade Democrats (meaning the sugar planters) an object lesson"—is not ihat a confession that they have acted from an ignoble motive f If protection is light and sugar is a proper object of protection, what difference does it make in the honest application of the principle that Southern Democrats are not protectionists f As a chastisement of the planters it has proven a partial success. It seems to have had the same effect upon some of them that a good spank ing has on a bov ; it lias made, them more docile and tractable, amr they now lick the hand that smote them. The Republicans took the tariff off sugar and gave them a bounty against the planters' vehement protest, know ing that the Imunty would not last. They have preached "free siigai r and denounced the Democrats for having put a duty back on sugar, and now they come forward and say they did this to teach a lesson to the planters. And maiiv of these planters iinmind fill of their past reputation for firm ness of purpose and high resolve, for determination to resist all attempts at coeicioti, have thrown up their hands, acknowledged tiiet they have been whipped into line by the Republicans, and now shout themsel ves hoarse for Republicanism, McKin ley aud protection—especially to sugar. Mr. C. G. Strocg, principal ot tlie public schools at Anderson. Col., says: "I have used Chamberlain's Pain Balm and I nave found an excellent remedy for lameness and slight wounds.'' Lameness usually results from a spiaiii, or other injury, or from rheu matism, for which Chamberlain's P.iiu Balm is especially intended and mi equally. It affords almost immediate relief and in a short time effects a per manent cure. For sale by all diog gists. F1GHT1SG FOR SUPREMACY. The two factions of the Republican party in this State are having a dog and cat figlit tor leadership. The white or sugar Republicans, recently allured into republican pastures by the bait of high protection thrown out to them, at fiist swore by all the saiuts in heaven that they would have nothing to do with the old line, biack and-tau Republicans, while the latter swme equally strougly that the "sugar barons" would have to dismount tlie r high horse if they wanted their votes. Warmoth who leads the white Re publicans is charged with playing both ends against the middle and got up a pretty cock and bull story about some secret agent of Mark Hanna hav ing been dowu beie incognito and sized up the sitnation favorably to the planters. A. T. Wimberly leading the regulars at ouce hied himself to Mark Hauua, and since his return liia side of the house has been displaying such activity, that color is lent to the statement that the great Mark has favored bis cause. As a consequence, the planters have weakgped some, and at their last meeting, while still protesting they would make no advances to tlie black and-tan, they announced their readi ness to listen to proposals from the latter. Great concession, indeed! Tlie only point in dispute now is whether the mountain shall come to Mahomet, or Mahomet go to the moan tain. To a disinterested observer it looks as though it makes very little difference which goes to the other, so long as they get together. The Sen tinel has predicted that they would get together, notwithstanding the re fined planters' strong aversion In Sam bo's color and smell. Whether this prediction will come to pass time will tell. A Little Mixed.— Even as reliable a commercial authority as "Dun's Review" is sometimes liable to get a "little mixed" in its economical con clusions. For instance, in summing np the state ot the business for the week ending the lath iust. it says : "It is a step toward recovery, not quite pleasant but Bure, that merchan dise imports since July 1 aie 18 per cent, less, wiiile exports are 16 per cent. more than last year. It means depression of trade, bat also decrease of foreign indebtedness." The Review's political economy runs counter to that of the high protection ist who claims that increased imports cause depression, and for that reason would shut nut all imports by erecting a high tariff wall around this country. IT LOOKS THAT WAY. A recent convert to higk protection was preaching the beauties of his new faith to a crowd of plain people rank ing from the field laborer to the small farmer. "A protective tariff^" said he "encourages American manufactures and gives employment to Ameiican laUirets. The operatives in the man ufactories get better wages and are enabled to s|iend iroie money tor food; that creates a home market for the product* of the soil ami raises their price*." "How does it encourage manufac tures f" queried fanner No. 1. "By eii her shutting out foreign man nfacrued good* or so raising their price* that the Ameiican manufactur er* aie enabled to raise tlie piiccs of their gnoiD, and s<> compete with pan tier labor," answered the high protec tionist. '•So the buyer of the protected goods pays the protection the manufacturers ger, pay* the differeuce lietwee.n the price at which the foreign article could lie bought and the advaoced price of the home article- occasioned by the protective tariff,"put in farmer No. 2. "No. not exactly," tattered the pro tectionist* "But it is what yon have just ad mittel, when you said the protective tariff enabled the manufacturers to raue the prices ot their goods," insist ed farmer No. 1. "Yes, but you see, protection creates a home market for the product* of the American soil, aud the demand raises the prices of those products," said tiie protectionist, with the look of a man who had jnst delivered a telling blow. "To be sure," rejoined farmer No. 2, "demand lias a tendency to raise prices bm only when it exceeds the supply. When the supply far exceeds the de mand, however, as is the case with our agricultural products in relation to the domestic demand, the prices do not rise but fall. So that to the farmer, the "home market" twaddle is a delu sion and a snare. He bears the bur den of the protection extended by law to the manufacturers, and gets nothing in return. That is the way it looks to me." "Aud to me, too," chimed in farmer No. 1. "But it protects the laborer" persist ed the protectionist. "My expei ieuee," said a laborer who nad stood a silent listener up to this time, "is that when there is work to be done and few laborers to be had, wage* go up, but if there be more j laborers than needed, wages go down. ' When two employers ruu after one workman, wages go np; when two workmen run after one employer, wages go down. That seems to be tlie way of the world; everybody looks after his own interest." "Any way, protection is a good thing," said the protectionist, with considerably less assuiance. "No donbt, for the party protected, bat not for those who pay the fiddler," rejoined farmer No. 1. ' And it looks that way. Bdcklens Arnica Halve. The Best Salve in the world for Cnts, Braises, Sores, Ulcers Salt Rhenm, Fever Sores.

Charged publicly by Seoator Stewart with slaadering Mr. William J. Bryan, he seeks to ezcnlpate him self by declaring that he only repeated •a newspaper report He does not plead the truth of the newspaper re port, but simply skulks behind that report and disclaims beiug the origi nator of the charge. Tims, on his own confession he stands convicted of being a peddler of slander against tjie candidate of a great party, hailing from bis own state. In law, as well as in morals, the wretch who peddles around slan der is no better than tiie originator of it Does Senator Tbarston realise liis petition f (Since writing the above Senator Tfiurst«n-liaa declared over his signa ture that Mr. Bryan's denial of the report was sufficient proof for him of its falsity.)

The aged couple wetecompletely taken by surprise as they had not been ad mitted into the secret of the intended celebration. Mr*. Zeooo Gnillot and Mrs. Auguste Sanchez, tlie venerable sponsors of Mrs. Bread, bad been given a quiet tip and requested to bw preseut at the Brand homestead for the occasion. At half past five o'clock p. ml the children to the number of five (only one being absent who lives away) and graudchildren to the number of twen ty one, and some friends assembled at the residence of Judge C. A. Engerran (a son-in-law) and marched together to the homestead of the aged conpte on Jacksoo street, * and, after wishing their beloved ancestors many blessings and long life, presented Mr. Brand with a beautiful gold headed cane, en graved with his initials and the date of the happy event which occurred fifty years ago, and Mrs. Brand with a tine gold headed pataaol, similarly en graved, and each with a commodious sod comfortable rattan rocking chair, that they may rock away together in peace the remaining years of a long quiet but use at life. After the excitement of the first sur prise was over, tlie quarter-master of die invading party eame in to an nounce that all bands were needed in the dining-room aod when that plaee of general expectations was reached, there was another surprise in store in the shape of an abandonee of delica cies and refreshments which bad been smuggled in in some mysterious wny, aud of which all, the little ones in par ticular, partook to their hearts' con tent. Tlie festivities lasted until half past eight o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Brand are nati-eo of this parish, ia which they have always lived, and are both descended from representative Creole families. Mr, Brand is 71 years old, bale and hearty, and bis good wife is 68 yean, also in excellent heilth. Long life to both is the Sentinel's wish. ->0 Another Golden Wedding —Some three weeks or so ego there was an other goldeo wedding celebrated in this parish, near Lock port. It was that of Mr. Urain LeBlane, a wall known and exes Rant citizen of La fourche, and bis wife Eliza Parr. The celebration was a quite family affair, attended with a re'igiooa ceremony at the church of the Holy 8avior ia Lock port. This aged eonple, too, are na tive* of this parish, where, we believe, they spent their whole life, aod raised many children, who are now respected members of the community. Long life to them, also.
