The Lien Law.

Several propositions are under con

to the law of lens. Some of these cn
to abolishiug the entire law, others to

agricultural purposes, has preferred

exorbitant prices sometimes demanded
and high rates of interest charged by
the merchants or factors, we can ace no
evil in this provision of law. IL is
urged With some degree of truth that

the opportunity thus afforded by the law,
or whether he is cxtravag ant and unwise

There is large class of small farmers,

Cotton Manufacture.

At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Graniseville Mills, Is. O. in the

to double the capacity of the mills in
three years and yet pay dividend of

AT Washington, on the evening of

conference, and agreed on ne,t bill to
refund the cotton tax. which they will

The provisions Of tie new Bil are
materially Different froth those Of the

tors who have bought up thsse claims
for song, the absolute return of the
cotton tax they have paid.

1t seems that tho objection to the law
as il now stands arose from the practice
of certain small merchants in the
country, Of Including @hiszey, which is
largely aud literally furnished, in the
list of agricultural supplies. This is
very Arcadan, and is blissful union
Of the orgies Of Pan and Bacchus, but
it certainly is not legal. However
stimulating to the fertile brain, whiskey
may be, it is very poor stimulating
fertilizer to the soil, and while it will
soon send men to "grass" is very poor
pasturage for stock
This practice is simply an abuse mud
violation of the law, and cannot be
urged as an objection to it provisions
One of these changes proposed to the
law, is to give the ownel of the Ind
preferred Ii ed on the crop oi the tenant
for the rent. 1t is far easier for the
small farmer, just "making his farm"
to get land than supplies And like
wise it is easier for the landlord to col
lcct his rent than for the merchant to
get remuneration for his advances.
The one is upon the ground and near.
er to the tenant AID knows his renter
better than than the other at distance,
aud unable to know his man or watch
his crop. Only good tenant can get
land, and there is c. ns,uuently less
necessity for so high security to be
given the Landlord for the collection of
his rent
The lien law as it now stands is wise
and has been q benefit add blessing to
the poor men Of the State, and has GER
tanly aided and encouraged agriculture.
Let the law, which has stood the test
of experience, sand as it is, but let any
abuse Is Gr i strictly wit h d
and pcremr,orily punished. Some
legislation looking to the punishment Of
parties violating the law, as tor misde.
mcrnor, or for fraud o, over reaching
in its application, is What we think is
needed Nothing else.
The House of Representatives has,
however, on Tuesday last, stricken out
tic enac'inS clause Of tn. hill to repeal
the Zen law of 1866. This was the
most decisive and important of the
measures against tho law as it now
stands, and ftrc-k iif.,;nssY IL; OF .l.i. bil,ls
