Lake Charles Commercial. Bryant Hctchins . born in St. Mar tinsville, La., June 20,1830. died in Lake Charles, La., October 10,1888, in his fit ty-ninth >ear. It is with feelings of extreme sadness that we chronicle the death of this most estimable friend and brother printer. He first learned the printer's trade in the office of the old Opelonsas Gazette ; and subsequently worked in the St. Lan diy Whig, the Opelonsas Patriot, Cou rier, Sentinel, St. Landry Progress and in the Pointe Coupee Echo ; after which he removed to Texas and did efficient service in the Galveston News, Stand aid, Christian Advocate, Mercury, and Flake's Bulletin. He lastly came to Lake Charles, and by his cheerfulness and gentle disposition gladdened the offices of the Lake Charles Echo, Com mercial and American, in which office he worked until he received his last summons, notifying Lim that the forms wer« all closed. Of a retiriug and modest disposition, only those who knew him intimately could appreciate his many good quali ties. His life seemed entirely free from rancor, and his whole soul was replete wiih the kindest feelings for Iiis breth ren, thus endearing him to all who kr-ew him. He was never known to have a disagreement wiih his employers or Uro! lier workmen; und being an excel lent practical printer, turned off stich accurate work, that he lett no cause for complaint. He leaves to mourn his loss, »family of five children, and his estimable wife, formerly Miss Adeline LeTournetir. whom he married in Opelonsas, in 1852. To them we extend our heartfelt sym pathy, and sincerely hope that the Gieat Giver of all blessinirs, will deal tender ly and compassionately with them, and pour the oil of comfort on their sorrow ing hearts. Their loss is irreparable ; for rately do we meet one so universally aud so deservedly esteemed by all. CHEAP PAINT. Husbandman. At a recent meeting of thfl Elmira Farmers' Club the following was read : In the discussion on paints I was sur prised U> note that the cheapest and best paint of all that I have any knowledge of was not mentioned. A real farmer's paint, for it is nothing but skimed milk and water lime (cement). The chemi cal union that takes place between lime and cawine of the milk probably pro duces the Him of stone which endures in this country for vears. I built a build ing in 1859 or 1860 for a carriage house, stable and granary, of well sawed, nn plained lumber, stork hoards one foot wide battened with square undressed battens, put two coats of this paint on the body of the building, and painted tlie trimmings, painted (the base, cor nice, door and window frames) with peroxide of iron and oil a redish brown, and it was not until last year that I thought it needed another coating of the same, « hieb cost me : Brown paint, oil and putting on $4 £0 ébiiS Uli'k, water lime and putting on 3 75 Total.. * 8 83 The total building »» fifty-two feet front and twenty-four fefT deep and high gables with sixteen-foot side, n,)8 * 8 The following bit of information is clinped from the City Item : On the coast the potato crop was al most a failure. In Lafourche the crop was fair, though the yield was not as goo.l as that of last year, the increase in acreage more than covered thedifler ence. in the yield. Prices were not as go.id as for the pre vious year the crop selling, it is estimat ed, at $2 23 per barrel. The following are the receipts of the two largest receivers from the Lafour che. Prank Barker—46.000 sacks potatoes and 13.500 sacks miions. A. J. Lagardp & Co.—24.764 sacks po tatoes am) 14 242 sacks onions. The onion crop was fair, with good prices only at the beginning and end of the season. The bulk of the crop was not sold at. satisfactory rates the nrice at one time being as low as $1.40 per barrel. The garlic crop was heavy but did not meet with a good demand, and it was not, as it usually is, a profitable crop. There is no way of giving the exact amount of the Louisiana onion and po tato crops, but from data obtained we think an approximate estimate would be 100.000 barrels of potatoes and 65,000 barrels of onions. The Republican tariff bill has at last been completed and reported to the Sen ate. It contemplates a reduction of $75 000 000 in import duties and a cut of fifty percent. In f he sugar and rice tar iffs. Every man, white or black, who is concerned in the prosperity «»f the do mestic sugar and rice industries, should cast his rote for the Democratic candi date« at the «-oming election and thus rebuke this Republican attempt to crip ple our leading interest. Fortunately there is nn chance for the passage of this bill at the present session of Con gres*. but if the Republicans secure a majority in the next House they will re pew with doubled energy the effort to sacrifice snear and rice in order that the products of the states from which they derive their political strength may be the more easily protected. Therefore it particularly behooves every voter in Southern Louisiana, no matter what his color, class or political predilections, to cast his ballot for a Democratic con gressional candidate in the coming elec tion.—Chief. Sleeping Milk Sweet, The Farming Word savs : Add to the milk a small quantity of bjcarlwinate ^of soda. This addition is by no means in jurious to the health ; on the contrary, bicarbonate of soda promotes digestion.

"What do yon publish a paper for. I'd like to know," sarcastically inquired an irate politician, tackling a country editor not far from H«»nma.

After the recent savage and Com-I manche-like onslaught made by the' Cobden Clubbers and other Free Traders on our wool-growing industries in favor of tlie sheep -herders «if Australia and elsewhere in Asia and Africa public at tention has been so widely concentrated upon this intersting and wide-spread branch of production and manufacture that the American people are more re solved than ever that it shall be pro-, tected as against all antagonists, even; though they present themselves in the guise so attractive to worshipers of the cheap, as in the persons of British India ryots, who gladly accept six cents per dav of sixteen hours woik. Fir the judicious pioneer in onr west ern wilderness takes with him, as an important factor to make his new home. Mt least one good blooded buck with n harem of ewes. They eat things which horses and cows reject, they btowse! down the brush which springs up when - ever the farmer cuts dowr trees, they scumble up the almost, inaccessible hill* and by a mysterious virtue in their ex crements make the sides thereof more fertile than any other known fertilizer, tiiev nourish by their flesh and clothf by their fleeces many who without tlo-m in the distant solitudes would suffer from cold and hunger. Nor do their benefactions stop there. As the country gets filled np and the farmer has a surplus of wool to provide for, he learns, if he did not know it be fore tliat woolen mills to be propelled by steam, water or wind power can b< established at a ridiculously stnalle' outlay of capital than is requisite for any other of onr textile«, or they can I» 1 ex panded to an indefinite extent. This is shown by a glance at our latest census report, where South Carolina is report ed as having eleven woolen mills repre senting a capital of $7 900. or an average of $718 each, while Massachusetts shows 167 factories with a cnnital of $24 fl^O. 782. or 5147.789 each. Thus it seen that every township can have i s woolen factoiy, while for cotton and silk Im luonse capitals and industrial centres are required.—Exchange. WHY HE DON'T GAMBLE.

SPAIN'S DOWNFALL. < A once prosperous country riîinf.d by an unnoly tariff system^ Poor old fipnin liaa an indnstrifll?»yf> t^m of which the system of i I ih United State« ift almost an exact counterpart. Spain ha«a taiiff system which, in tax ineraw mnterialsanii almost everything else that commerce carries to her jpates, is the very ideal of protectionists of this country. An atrocious protective poli cy, niitieated only by the enterprise and daring of thesmneeler has in three hun dred years reduced a hitrhly-eifted na tion, which was once in the van of En rope in the arts and manufactures, to tlie condition which the world witnesses to day. The Spanish industrial system has been in full operation in this coun try for only a quarter of a century, and iti twice that time even n more baleful policy than that which Mr. Jîlaine ad vocates could not overcome the great natnral political and social advantages of the American people and their supe rior energy, intelligence and enterprise. But as surely as history is philosophy teaching by example, so surely will this industrial system, if persisted in t>ro duce the same fatal results that other nations almost a» highly endowed have experienced. The li lierai statesmen of Spain »re endeavoring to abate the mis chiefs of her protective policy, and it is the earnest hope of eveiy friend of pro eress that they may succeed in their ef forts. But til« leading Republican statesman of this country endeavors to pursnade Iiis fellow-citizens of the wis dom and beneficence of a like policy, in face of the manifest proofs that it ia al ready entailing lipon them the sann mischief* which it lias inflicted on the older nations of the world.
