OPELOUSAS :
The Police Jury and the Mer
chants.
editok D emocrat : Tlio Capital Item
seems tu be iu high Riee at the manner
iu wliicb our Polie» Jury disposed of the
cases of some of onr merchants. It
weems to think that alter the merchant
Ims given in his stock of xooils under
oath, the right thing to do is to add fifty
to one hundred percent. 1 am, as you
know, a farmer, bnt, unlike a majority
of farmers, I entertain no prejudice
against merchants. It is rare, indeed,
to tind a merchant who is not a man of
strict integrity and veracity. It serves
no good purpose to intensify the. bad
feeling which prevails among different
classes. There is no real antagonism
of interest. The true, interests of the
human race oro hartnoneous.
It is useless to tell mo that ■merchants
bleed farmers when they get them in
their power. Farmers lend their less
fortunate brothers corn, exacting three
barrels for two and in some eases two
for one. They sell a beef on credit at
(ti per cent, per month interest. Far
mers even of tho same Sub-Union bleed
cach other just ns remorselessly as do
merchants. If we look about us wo be
hold a state of affairs which lead us to
infer that tho object of man's creation
-was that each should prey upon the
other. We attribute man's selfishness
to tho will of God. But if we consider
the harmony of the material universe
vre may with safety conclude that the
Jaws of tho moral universe are juat as
harmonious, if we consider them atten
tively and act according to them.
It is self-evident that no roan has the
natural right to reap a profit from the
labor and investments of other men.
The concession that he has is a violation
of the natural order of the universe and
must wreck our civilization. It is be
cause society is organized on a plan that
contravenes the natural order that we
behold all this strife and bad feeling.
"When tho inevitable catastrophe comes
it will matter little whether a man rides
in a chariot or trudges barefooted on
tho dusty highway. Tho seeds of inevi
table destruction are sown in our social
system, and, unless we eradicato them,
time will add another wreck to those
•which mark the history of the race
We already regard false swearing as
a light offense or no offense. We re
gard the parading of the names of men
accused of perjury as a matter of no
consequence. The system that produces
that result always has produced such
results, and is surely a bad system. The
assessment of personal property lias
never been accomplished with honesty
and never can be. It is contrary to the
natural order of things that men should
bo taxed according to their enterprise
and industry. It is a crime against na
ture to attempt it, and nature takes her
revenge upon those who contravene her
immutable laws.
Men should pay taxes for the benefits
they receive from society and not for
discharging their duty to it. Every
grant of land was made for the purpose
of encouraging the best use of land.
Saving and excepting to be used, there
never existed any authority to make a
grant of land. That man who makes
the best Tise of his opportunity most
thoroughly complies with his contract,
most completely accomplishes his mis
sion on earth and fulfills the purpose of
his creation. And yet for such we hold
in reserve a penalty in fines and taxes.
Evidently thoso who control opportu
nities for producing the wherewithal to
pay taxes should pay the taxes. They
should pay iu proportion to the value of
the opportunity as expressed in the
value of land. Those who control the
opportunities are justly responsable to
society for the payment of such dues as
shall be needed to meet the public ex
penses. So long as they pay their dues
society has no coneorn with them ex^
copt to see that nobody is injuretL,l>y
the use or the manner of using. *
Our present system is the reverse of
this. Men hold grants of land in vary
ing value. Those remote from any cen
tre of industry are worth but little.
Those in the midst of industrial centres
are worth all the way from $5 per acre
to 8300 per square foot, or $13,000,000
per acre. We say to those who use their
opportunities, "You have been useful,
you have complied with your contract,
at least in part; therefore, you must be
of
at
at
ot
at
of
fined in proportion as yon Itavo been
useful." To those who hold opportuni
ties out of use with the expectation of
reaping profits out of tbo labors and in
vestments of otbor men we say, "It is
our will that those wlio obstruct the
progress of tbo community by holding
valuableopportunitiesont of use should
prosper. It is not in accordance with
natural laws that they should, bnt we
have abolished the laws of nature. Go
od and prosper. Every improvement,
public aud private, will increase tbe
value of your land. In the by and by
we ßliall biive a cultured class who have
never done aDy useful thing to whom
our hearts warm ?"
But in tbe meantime nature'« laws go
marching on and thoso who oppose
them shall surely diè! To avert this
calamity we have but to turn to nature's
laws. Tax only opportunities accord
ing to value and give to thoso who pro
duce tho fnll results of their labor.
Exact nothing except for the oppor
tunity held and the 1'ull value of the
opportunity, whether used or not. There
is no guess work about this system. The
assessor can point out in his office the
exact value of every man's land. Col
lect from them aud it may be left to
them whether they use the land or not.
If it is capable of producing it will pro
duce, and if not capable, the owner will
owe no tax. The market, with free
competition, will regulate that.

- a -
In the southern section a nearly normai
temperatureand percentage of sunshine,
with a slight excess in tiie amount of
rainfall is noted. The averago rainfall
for the week in the cotton-crowing por
tion of the State was but .47 of an inch;
in the sugar and rice region an average
of 1.58 inches fell.
The prospects for cotton seem to be
very good in spite of the numerous
worms. The wholesale poisoning in
progress is keeping planters busy, they
realizing the fact that a splendid crop
will be obtained if tho caterpillars are
destroyed. Thus far no material dam
age is reported, although slight damage
has ensued.
In Catahoula there is no report of
worms, and the forecast is ventured that
three weeks of fair weather will insure
a good crop in that parish.
Cotton picking will be general iu j
about eight days in tho t'entrai portion I
of the State.
In the Feliciana paii.shes, ilie weather j
being favorable, worms have appeared j
and are being poisoned; it is feared that '
damage may be done to the cotton later
in the season by the pest. Washington
parish reports cotton in very good con
dition, no worms and bright prospects.
In the northern portion of the sugar
region the weather was very favorable
to the rice and sugar, but cane is not re
ceivingenough rain or sunshine to grow
as rapidly as it should at this season
farther south. The conditions as regard
the rice crop are not as favorable as
they might be; more sunshine and less
of the showery weather would be benc
ticial. Generally; favorable reports are
received as to the present condition of
all crops.

suits from their work. This reminds
mo of a letter 1 have received from a
man who öfters to be my agent in the
ealo of tho fluid. Such a proposition is
the most absurd thing in the world.
This subject is one that is or will be
known to the whole medical profession,
and 1 have never hinted at any exclu
sive right, to use the fluid. Whatever
my experiments develope will he at the
disposal of (ho whole profession. Any
other course would be quackery. What
ever benefit there is in the discovery of
Mr. Brown-Seouard will be for the use
of any one. There is no "elixir" for
sale by me and never will be. The idea
that this discovery is an elixir of lifo is
a false statement which has been given
currency by sensational news papers."
Dr. Hammond's sensible remarks
about ihe discovery made by the Anior
ican-Frcnch Dr. Brown-Sequad, to the
effect, that the new remedy is merely of
the nature of a tonic, which is expected
to be especially beneficial to old peo
ple, and makes no pretensions to give
perpetual youth, or to defy mortality,
will doubtless have a sood effect. There
is nothing which Ihe half-educated
classes and the wholly ignorant are so
ready to go wild over as discoveries
which purport to set death at defiance.
Every age has seen charletans with
their "elixirs of life," and generally of
eternal life, cutting a biief tigiire on the
stage, and our modern days will have
them now and then.
Dr. Brown-SeQuad does not expect to
restore old people to yonth, but merely
to renew their lost vigor, and this hois,
if we may credit the repoil.«, doing in
certain cases. But the whole matter is
yet in its experimental stage. The ru
mors of wonderful cures which com es to
us, must be received with great caution
and we must not jump at the conclusion'
that the "elixir of life" is a panacea for
"all the ills fbat life is heir to, v but
wait with patience for the results of the
numerous experiments now being
made.

A FABLE.
At that time a great multitude were
walking upon the streets of the city and
it came to pass that a man, stepping up
on a round stone, fell aud was trampled
nigh unto death; and when ho, was
taken up his leg was 1
carried into his house, and he asked of !

didst lall upon a loose stone which lay
upon the side-walk of the city, then the
city must pay thee for thy injuries.''
^pî'f'jwdb the lawyer went before the
thief Magistrate of the city and snid
nnto him : "Sir, thou must pay unto this
mau one thousand pieces of silver for
the injuries he received upon the streets
of the city.;' But (he Chief Magistrate
said unto him; "I will pay this man
Qotnioft tor ho must- be more careful
when lie walketh."
Then they went into the hi«h court
and asked ot the Judges that the c.ty be
made to pay the man for tlm injuries he
had received. And behold ! when the
testimony was all heard the Judges said
unto the Cheif Magistrate of the city
whereas this man foil upon a loose,
stone which lay upon the streets of the
city, and whereas it is thy duty to see
that no such dangerous things lie upon
thy streets, therefore I command that
thou pay unto this man one thousand
pieces ol silver, aud also that thou pay
all the costs incurred ; and it was done
as the Judge commanded.
Moral: Keep your streets in good oi
tier, leave no loose stones and brick
bats upon the side-walks, see that there
aro no holes in the bridges, and you will
have no damage suits to pay.
