REPUBLICANDOCTRINE. THE SL'OAK ISDUSHIY. Shall that of Louisiana, Which I* the Third I argent SujrurtProdacInjj Coon* try In the World, be Destroyed? Over 5100,COO, 000 invested in the sugar industry. Supporting 60fl,000 people in Louisi ana. r* V ioldmg $35,000,000 annually in sugar products. > Interstate trade given $50,000,000 annually. The sugar industry of Louisiana is not a lo.-ftl or provincial industry. Leav ing the price of sugar out of the ques tion entirely, the enterprise incident to its cultivation is as far-reaching in its effects and results as the great do main of our government. The follow ing statement will give some idea of how the sugar industry of Louisiana affords a great diversity of employment, of invested capital, of agricultural pro ducts, finding a ready sale and an im mense trade for manufactured goods, a market for raw materials, the con sumption of which is in no wise under stood by the people who reside in terri tory outside of the state of’ Louisiana. How can the people of the United States be made to understand that more than $29,000,000 worth of goods is consumed in the sugar district of Louisiana, all of which is purchased from territory scattered throughout the United States, affording employment to more than 7%,000 laborers. In proof of the foregoing statement let us call attention, first, to $1,200,000 worth of coal, shipped from the fields of Penn sylvania and Alabama. Let him who reads this statement estimate for him self the number of men who thus find employment, the interstate commerce produced thereby and the value which thus attaches to the slumbering ore, i which is taken from the mountain I sides and thus made to pay tribute to j commercial enterprise and add value to the wealth of the citizens of three great cominonwealths. Kentucky, lennessee, Indiana and Missouri annually find sale in this sugar district of Louisiana for $2,400,-. ooo worth of mules and horses If the market in Louisiana for this vast product of the farm is to be closed, where shall these states look for a market for their horses and mules? Minnesota, Missouri and Kansas are never done loading cars with, the product of the field and farm. Every day in the year they send forth their stuffs into these great sugar fields, which annually amounts to $4,300,000. What foreign market is so sure a pur chaser of wheat and flour as the sugar planter or sugar producer of Louisiana? The meat product consumed by the people of this sugar-producing territory, amounts annually to $3,600,000. In this one item of commerce, the farmers of Ohio, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraskaand Texas have long since learned that they can depend upon Louisiana gold or ex change.in payment for this vast product of meat, which if not sold in Louisiana must necessarily be added to the great supply already on hand before another market can be discovered. The farmers of four great states, Kansas, Missouri,. Illinois and Iowa, little dream, or seldom consider, while sweetning their coffee, pastry and fruits, that they who produce this su gar are the best customers, possibly, of all those who purchase of the products of the field, for each year the Louisiana sugar planter buys from these ‘states $-1,800,000 worth of corn, oats and hay. Who, among the thousands of work men who daily toil at the bench, or of the sturdy woodmen who changes the forest into cultivated fields, realizes that the product of his hands yearly finds a market in one item of cooperage aloue, for$l,200,000 worth, taken large ly from the states of Ohio and Michi gan? A mong the busy toilers of the Bunny fields of the Carolinas, Georgia and Ten nessee, the producers of cow peas alone receive annually from the sugar grower of Louisiana, $310,000 for this one item of agriculture, being a sure and a safe market. $300,000 passes from these sugar fields annually to the mountains of Pennsyl vania or the hills of Alabama, paid in exchange for oils, paints and lime, all of which is a gain or profit from a com modity which must remain worthless without a readv market. The hissing1 of steam, the ponderous hum of mighty wheels in a thousand factories, stretching from Missouri across the fields of Illinois, Ohio, Penn sylvania, even to the centers of New England, where thousands of frugal artisans are daily making the machin ery and implements which annually shipped into these sugar fields of Louis iana produce an annual return in money of 86,000,000. Does the owner of the mill or the mechanic at the bench thoroughly understand the great advantage that this industry of sugar raising affords him by the pur cease of the product of the shop? The boots and shoes that cover the j feet of the million or more people who find immediate employment in these sugar fieldsot Louisiana, are taken in exchange from the operatives of the great shops of Massachusetts, Illinois and Missouri for the products of the rich fields. For these boots and shoes the sugar planter pays annually 81,800, 000. What shall be said of the 82,400,000 worth of clothing purchased by the sugar people of Louisiana from the \ great centers of trade, stretching from ; New England to the great manufactur- i ing cities of the lakes and the Missouri valley? Thousands of operatives, fingers tired with pewing, are here furnished a market for the product of their toil, which some people are will ing to destroy that these humble toilers, instead of receiving annually ready payment for their labor, are otherwise to become beggars in the streets. Added to all the foregoing array of figures, which represent absolute items of trade, there must be adde4 81,500,000 for sundry articles that go into this sugar producing territory from the orchards, the fields, the shops and the factories all over this great, broad con tinent of ours, so that when we come to look at the resume of all this inter course or this network of trade which centers in this one productive field, we ask, who is the American who would thus destroy so fair and promising an industry with all its beneficent effects as contributing to the great interstate prosperity which marks the closing of that decade from 1862 to 1802 inclusive? Let the sugar industry of Louisiana be protected in the future as in the past ami let the wealth going out to all the states of the union, as a result of the sugar enterprise of the United t\ i'.if.V-TjV- * ." States, be continued and enlarged until we shall not stand third in the sugar producing countries of the world, bqt nrst—able to produce all that wa con sume. A Heterogeneous Mass. The democratic party, unlike any oth ®r political organization which has ever had an existence in a free and civilized country, is made up of such a heteroge neous mass of all sorts and conditions of people that it can with perfect im punity put at defiance conditions and surroundings which would ordinarily blight and destroy any Other party making a pretense to half the virtue that democracy does. There are two things which never give the leaders of democracy a minute's thought or bother them in the least. One is the plain rule of a consistent, honest policy. The other is the record the party has made in the past and is making to day. From as far back as most men can remember, the democratic party has been everlastingly wrong, in respect of its attitude upon every great question of national policy, and time has always furnished the proof of this fact. In the early days, the cardinal points of democratic faith were, first, the doc trine of state rights; and second, in connection therewith, the “Divine” in stitution of slavery. The two consti tuted the corner stone and foundation of the democratic structure. So sure was demooracy of the cor rectness of its position upon these ques tions, thatrather than recede it adopted a general policy resulting in civil war, carried on for years, until it was finally demonstrated that the union of the states was indissoluble and constituted a compact federal union which we call a nation. And now there are none so poor as to do reverence to the doctrine of state rights as proclaimed in the ante-bellum times or apologize for the system of human slavery. Again, during the war for the pres ervation of the union, every measure calculated to strengthen the position of the government and give courage and comfort to the soldier at the front, was met with the cry of “unconstitutional” from the northern democrats, and when in 1864 our soldiers were girding them selves up for the last, long struggle, which finally resulted in victory, the northern democratic party, in national convention assembled, declared the war a failure, and all further attempts to coerce the states and preserve the in tegrity of the union a gross violation of the constitution. The truth is that modern democracy is simply an “or ganized appetite" for spoils. There is nothing of honesty, consistency or patriotism in its make-up. It never had a well defined, consistent, patriotic policy in relation to public affairs in all its existence. Its rule has been, as in New York, the rule of thugs, bummers and robbers. Wherever democracy is in full sway, there you will find an utter disregard of the rights of the peo ple and of the laws passed for their protection. However, all this counts for nothing, because the rank and file of that party have supreme contempt for the rights of persons as well as laws, and the more nearly a system of anarchy is reached, there will be, for them, less restraint and more freedom to plunder. Hence, it follows that the party in pow er today is like the man without a con science, paying no heed to cousistency or the record of the past. Its rank and file care nothing for principle and have no conception of the meaning of the word. "To the victor belongs the spoils,” is their watchword, and wher ever the banner bearing that motto leads, they will follow. On the “Stars and Bars” Were “Slavery and Free Trade/* on the “Stars and Stripes/* “Liberty and Protection/* The war for the union was waged, on one side, for the preservation and extension of slavery, for free trade, for servile labor, for a system which de graded labor and lowered the standard of manoood; on the other, for freedom, the Union and protection to free, well paid labor, for the Bystem which digni fies labor and ennobles the laborer. Between the “Stars and Bars” was read “Slavery and Free Trade.” Between the “Stars and Stripes,” borne by the boys in blue to victory, “Liberty and Protection. ” „ “Liberty and Protection” triumphed, but the latter is now to be overthrown by the installation of the democratic party, the same democratic party as of old, in complete subjection to the South, dictating the tariff policy, administer ing the beneficence of the goverment, and measuring out the gratitude of the nation to the men who risked their lives and imperiled their health to put down the rebellion. The republican party came into power with an empty treasury, with an impoverished country, under a revenue system which neither protected Ameri can industries nor furnished sufficient revenue for the economical conduct of the government; when the government was” without credit and .our bonds, drawing 12 per cent interest, sold in the markets of the world at 17 per cent discount. It raised immense armies, it provided a navy, it raised the funds necessary to carry on the war, it sub dued the rebellion, and preserved the Union. Hut it did more than all this. It started the wheels of industry. It gave employment to labor. It established the credit of the government. It paid immense sums in the reduction of the ■ public debt It brought about a period of prosperity which, with slight inter ruptions consequent upon the inflation of the currency and the return to specie payment, continued for nearly a third of a century; a period of progress in all that makes a nation great and powerful and its people prosperous and happy, such as was never before wit nessed in any country.

A Forest of Lightning. The “St. Elmo’s Fire,” or electricity seen playing on the bayonets of muret ing armies, oml around the spars and masts of ships, comes from the presenoe of a “ charged " cloud in the air, from ■which the pointed objects draw the lightning. A splendid instance of this same phenomenon was witnessed in the Jura at St. Cergues, where a whole forest of })ine trees was seen to l>e aglow with ight, like a phosphorescent sea in the tropics. A thunder-storm was raging at the time, and at every flash of lightning the illumination entirely disappeared, but soon shone forth again until the next flash came. Before the appearance of this St. Elmo's fire, heavy rains had fallen and soaked the forest, so ns to render it con ductive of electricity, and the thunder cloud overhead, heavily charged with electricity, had induced an opposite charge on the ground below, which dis charged itself into the air by the point ed boughs and needles of the pine trees.

Transplanting in the Night. — A gentleman, anxious to ascertain the effect of transplanting at night, instead of by day. made an experiment with the following results : He transplanted ten cherry- trees while in bloom, commencing at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Those transplanted during the daylight shed their blossoms, producing little or no fruit, while those transplanted in the dark maintained theii condition fully. He did the same with ten dwarf trees, after the fruit was one-third grown. Those transplanted during the day shed their fruit; those transplanted during the night perfected the crop and showed no injury from having been removed With each of these trees he removed some earth with the roots. The inci dent is fully vouched for, and, if a few similar experiments produce a like re sult, it will be strong argument to hor ticulturists, etc., to do such work at night.—Floral Cabinet.

A Voting Lady’s Heart Misplaced. A curious cate of malposition of the heart _ was discovered by a physician of this city in a patient who was con sulting him for some spinal trouble. The young woman is about 20 years old, of good form, handsc-mo face and pleas ing disposition. A careful study of the precise locality and form of the heart shows it to be transferred to the right side of the chest, and, instead of the apex beating just below the breast, it strikes upward against the right col lar-bone, near its outer third. In this case there must be a double curve to the large vessels of the heart, and the base of the heart is downward. In other words this heart is on the wrong side of the body, and is upside down. This un natural condition of things does not rise to any serious inconvenience, ex cept when moving too quickly or going up-stairs, the organ beats with painful violenoe against the collar-bone, where its motion is plainly visible.—Indian apolin Journal._ For Strengthening and Clearing the Voice use Bhown’s Buonchial Tuociies. “I havo commended them to friends who were public speakers, and they have proved extremely serviceable."—lice.

The priest closed his nose and eyes with his fingers, but the “ august new-born,” as he is styled in large capi tals in the programme of the duy, screamed like any ordinary baby, and evidently did not like it. He was then given to his godmother, wrapped up in blankets, and he dozed quietly while another prayer was said. He was only left in peace for a few moments. The Eriest anointed his eyes, ears, mouth, onds and feet with holy oil, that none of those members should do any harm in life.
