AN IMPORTANT SU0GEsTIoN.-In the
Grenada Appeal we end the following
communications:
Tanners and sh0emaker- are exempt
from co"scriptioa by the laws of the Con-
federa'e States, but there Is one little pro-
vision Of those laws which they 81 seem
to have entirely overlooked II is this !:
"That the produces # their labor shall be
sold at prices rot exceeding serenity fce

Now ] will venture to say there l. not
tanner CT shoemaker In Mississippi who
il not selling his products ut from one
hundred TO five hundred per cent. uron
rhe cost Of production All such are no
longer exempt ffnm CONSUMPTION. Now,
let every man who buys hide Of leather.
or pair Of shoes from these erempts, take
a receipt for his purchases, which will be
proof positive against them, that they are
liable to be enrolled as conscripts. If
they refuse to give receipt, let the pur
chaser make memorandum Of his pur-
chases, their date and amount, and this
will answer them just as well AS a receipt,
TO prove them liable to CONSUMPTION
The laws to which | have referred are
equally applicable to other tradesmer; but
| have confined my remarks to tanners
add shoemakers alone, simply because
their exhorbitaut prices press peculiarly
bard upon the people, at this season Of the
year. The man who il not satisfied with
seventy-fve per cent profit upon the cost
