Tobacco Growers Meeting To- Nor
ttI row. -

We can attention 10 the notice, In apother
column, of tho meeting Of the Tobacco
Growers Association, to be heldin the Court
House, tomorrow at one o'clock. +. NJ
This subject is one of vital importance to
Montgomery County, and In fact to the
people of the whole West. The class-legis-
lation OF the past four or FIVE years-by
which the agricultural Interests of this sec
tion Of country have been so completely
ignored rs to exclude one OF its great sta
pies (tobacco) from the market-must bc
attended to. and that quickly. All this has
been done that New England manufactu.
rers and tobacco growers may be enabled
to declare semi-annual dividends of from
fifty to one hundred per cent.
1t should also be borne Ia mind that this
is no party question. 1t should not be.
Every body is interested - the tobacco
grower, the merchant, the mechanic, the
manufacturer are all interested, either dl-
rcctly or indirectly, and ought TO make It a
point to attend the meeting tomorrow. Set
It be demonstration that viii tell upon the
minds and actions of our Representatives
in Congress.
There are now several millions of dollars
worth of tobacco tied up which cannot be
put In the market IN consequence of the
unequal and oppressive system of taxation
to which it is subjected. This thing can
not be longer borne, aud must be remedied.
Many Of our most worty and cntcrprislng
citizens havonearly all their means Invested
In tobacco, and numbers of them have been
forced TO borrow money at ruinous rates of
interest, TO hold their crops or their pur-
chases, as the case may be, for the last two
years. We trust that those who attend the
meeting Tomorrow, will speak rs becomes
freemen, and we believe that they VIII be
sustained by the entire body of our citi-
zens in their just demands for an equal
system of taxation. Much more depends
upon this than many are aware of. While
the money market Ofthe East is glutted with
currency at from five TO seven per cent. per
qnnum one and two per cent. per month
are the ruling rates here. And this is In
great measure owing TO the large amount
of tobacco tied up in the hands of its own
ers by the oppressive and unequal system
oftaXation TO which they are subjected

THE OPERA-IIoUsE .SomEE.-The SOiree

we have no complaint to make. The peo-
pie of Dayton-who are prone 70 refer with

nament to the city-are responsible for any
failure In rendering a fitting and subltan-

mar the pleasure aud enjoyment of the oc-
casion. Every body was pleased and de-
lighted and the sentiment was unanimous
that more agreeable and attractive enter
