A Protest from Leading Wholesale
Grocery Dealers.
CHICAGO, June 26.-Forty leading whole
sale grocery houses of this city have united
in petition to Congress, that, In the event
of a change in duties on sugar, coffee, tea
and spices, said change shall take effect
Dec. 81 next, and not sooner, for the fol-
lowing reasons
2. l. Those changes will necessarily infict
loss upon all holders of sugars, coffee, tea
and spices out of bond, both by the lower
ing OF values and interruption of trade.
2. Nearly all holders away from sea-
ports are holders out of bond from neces-
sity, either because of the absence Of bond
ing facilities or of the nature and exlgen.
cies Of business.
3. This embraces almost unnumhered
dealers, large and small, throughout the
country.
4. 1t is therefore, we conceive, only
proper that time should be chosen for
lowering the values when the loss would
fail least heavily on these numerous deal
ers, to wit: when the stocks are lightest
and trade least active.
s. During the fall stocks are heaviest,
because trade is heaviest, and it cannot be
otherwise. At December 81 stocks are
lightest for various resons, and self-pcotec-
ton, in considerable degree, is possible.

the increase of the jurisdiction of JUS

the revenue of the State formerly derived
from tax on law suits. And it is hardly
equitable to tax a ligitant in one court and
not in another. With these additions to
your tax law, the way out of financial
embarrassment is an easy one to Tennes-
sec. The only difficulty being in her past due
bonds and interest, and the Bank of Ten

debtedness, and which cannot az once
be paid. In this complexion, there is but
one course, and that is to fund thisiindebt-
edness. Having made provisions to pay
your interest and ultimately yoour debt, It
is believed that you will have no difficulty
in making your bonds so desirable an in
yestment that the large holders of Ten
