B9yHWe have now an impoSt on tea fully
equal, we presume, to 100 per cent. of the
prime cost of all but the finest qualities.
That impost, like that on sugar, was levied
for revenue solely, without thought of
protection. Our necessities will probably
compel its maintenance for good many
years to come. If one incidenta and
wholly unprecedented result of this tax
should be the naturalization and solid es-
Enlistment of the Tea culture in our coun-
try, the permanent good resulting from
that tax will far outweigh its temporary
inconvenience.
We ought to grow tea. Tt is an agricul-
tural product of climate like wide belt
of our country, and we already know that
it will flourish on our soil. Why
should we persist in going around the
world for what might as well be grown at
our very door? The Chinese take very
little of US but silver and gold. and these
we cannot produce so fast as we need them
to redress the balance of trade, otherwise
heavily against US. 1t is not probable
that the Chinese or japanese tea grower
receives one-fourth that our tea drinkers
pay for his herb. Let US grow for our
selves, we shall then receive seventy-fve,
instead of twenty live, per cent. OF the cost
of its product to the consumer. Doubtless
there will be difficulties to overcome at the
outset, but patience and experience VIII
soon oyerbear them.

GoING WEsT.-We had the pleasure oil
a conversation the other evening with our
friend VIM. 7. Richards, who had just re-
turned from trip through northern Iowa,
where he had been to see the country, or,
as the saying goes, "look land" He was
very well satisfied with the result of his
observations, and was particularly pleased
with the situation in Buchanan county, OF
which Independence, on the Dubuque and
Sioux City railroad, is the court house
town. 1t is the third county back from
the river, and the third from the north
line of the State. 1t has splendid soil
and offers great inducements to settlers.
Land of the same or a superior quality
that in this State is held at $45 and $50,
is on the market at S. per acre; partly
improved farms 81 to So. These terms
can be made within twenty miles of INDIE
pendence, the principal market at present.
School-houses are plenty and the county
will soon fill up with an enterprising pop
ulation that will soon convert its broad
prairies into waving fields OF grain, dotted
with the homes of contented farmers.
Mr.. Richards is going back Immediately,
to make arrangements for moving. We
hope his highest expectations may be real
lied, and that he will keep us, and thereby
our readers, posted in regard to the condi-
ton of things in his new home.
While we are anxious for the increased
prosperity of our own highly favored State
and county, and would advise those who
own farms to hang on to them, it does
seem that to young man and poor, there
are creator inducements and better chan
ces farther west. He would by no means
be obliged to pay even five or eight dollars
per acre, but might easily go where it can
be had under the homestead law-which
means, gratis.

IMPRovEMENTs.-Henry E. Jones has
moved his harness shop, that stood first
door south of Smith & Roberts drug
store on Iowa-st., back from the street,
and is digging cellar in the vacant lot,
upon which he intends to erect store for
the dry goods and grocery trade.
Roger Jones is building new picket
fence in front of his residence, just south
of Jas. R. Jones' store, east side of Iowa-st.
Uncle Rule has added coat of paint

New MILLINERY STORE. We invite the
special attention of our lady readers to the
advertisement of Misses Darlington, who
have just opened millinery store on
Iowa-st., one door north of N. Whiiman's.
They have and intend to keep very COM
plete stock of the latest stile of goods, and
have the reputation of being very tasty
and accomplished. Of course all the ladies
will call, for the greatest curiosity is a
woman without it. If they need anything,
or any work in the millinery line, they
can get it well and cheaply done by calling
on the Misses Darlington.

PERsoNAL.-Wc had the pleasure of
call last week from the general agent OF
the Madison Mutual Insurance Company,
Hon. S. C. Bean, Of Madison. He has the
rare faculty of leaving people better pleased
with themselves than he found them, and
is one of the most successful agents in the
west. He hasn't forgotten all his politics,
and enlightened us with some surmises
touching the makeup of the next Repub
lcan state ticket. Personally, his choice
for Governor is the old wheel horse of the
party, Gen. David Atwood, the veteran ed
itor of the State Journals feeling that the
! writer hereof most cordially shares.
-Rev. Henry J.. Walker, who is pleas
antly located as pastor of the Methodist
Church at De Soto, and where his labors
have been crowned with marked success,
judging from reports of revivals which
have reached us, is in town. He is on his
way from Madison, where he was called by
the sudden death of his hrother-in- law,
the late Melville Wrigglesworth.
Rev. James Sims, for two years pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal Church in this
place, and now doing good service in the
Masters cause at Lancaster, is in town,
and is the guest Of Joseph Bennett, Esq.
The senior editor returned Wednes-
day night
The junior will start on Monday for

Bg-The doctrine of woman's equality
is not so new as many people suppose.
A writer in the Watchman and Reflector
says that, soon after the American Revo
luton, the sister of Richard Henry Lee, of
Virginia, then widow, possessed of large
landed interests in Richmond, wrote a
letter, still preserved, in which, with the
skill of an advocate, she asked what be-
came of the doctrine on which the colonies
had commended for independence, mo
taxation without representation, if women
paying large taxes had no representation,
while beardless boy, because he was a
male and twenty one had a controlling vote
in governmental affairs.

enough space in your valuable paper, to
simply acknowledge my lasting obligations
to the Madison Mutual Insurance Compa-
nv, for the prompt and honorable manner
in which | have been treated by said COM
pany in my recent misfortune, which de-
prived me of home for my family, with
nearly all of the surrounding comforts.
On the afternoon of the l4th inst, my
dwelling house, with most OF its contents
was destroyed by fire, and to-day the Gen.
epal Agent, S. G. Bean, called on me for
an examination, and kindly consented to
make my proof of loss to the company,
and before leaving, paid me the full amount
for which my property was insured, thus
relieving as far as he could my present
distress. and affording another proof Of the
honorable dealing of that sound and relia-
BILE old company. To all | would say !;
Let those who have homestead to insure,
fail not to patronize this home company,
which is doing so much to protect your
families as the old Madison Mutual.
