Not Forgetting the Dog in Louisiana Farmer’s Plight
An anonymous Louisiana letter paints a bleak portrait of farmers tied to a web of interstate goods. He lists clocks, suspenders, shoes, basins, soap, tables, flour, bacon, lard, potatoes, fruit, hats, harness, corn, and mortgage, all sourced from distant states, with a Louisiana dog as the sole home product keeping them awake at night. The piece contrasts this dependence with an Australian’s foreign sourcing, noting the same reliance on external suppliers.
