are justly proud VI the progress made
within the last few yeals by this
c3anty. They are on
the alert TO take sivau age of every
legitimate chance that offers, to fur
ther her progress in every way posi-.
BILE. There is mo- one thing they can
do, there is no other.one influence they
can put to work, that will subserve
this laudable ambition, better than a
good County Fair, on sound basis,
located upon convenient and well
adapted:grounda, and under the con-
troll and management of men of ex>
perience and energy. This rich
county, teemiag with hardy, ener,
getic and progressive population, as
prosperous as any county in the
United States;to be without County
Fair, is simply inexcusable,
What we mos. want in this county
is the application of all the recent
Improvement in agricultural imple.
ments, to our own farms. A Fair will
attract the inventors and dealers in
these improvements from all parts OF
the country, tests will be made, and
the excellencies of each determined
by committees of intelligent farmers
This Is one of the IN ost important con
siderations in this connection
another is, it will bring together
once year, the farmers, mechanics
merchants and all other workers and
their families. Notes will he ex-
changed and nnall be benefited by
common interchange of experiences
results will lie compared, and goot
done in every conceivable way.
it will prove one OF the best means
of supplying q want that Texas be
gins now to feel, and which she vii
feel very senslbly in the. next few
years, viz: the introduction Of i'm
proved stock. Our pasturage is dali!
being contracted, as our prairies ar
being fenced. This will in time rem
der the present large herds of stock
an impossibility to, the average Nc
Lehman farmer. Then it will be nec'
essarY to supply these large herds o
indifferent stock, with smaller herds
of fine stock. No other engine coult
be put in motion that would serve t
increase the number of fine stock, an(
consequently cheaper the price, In 81
short time, as this enterprise. w,
trust that the present movement il
this direction will receive, as 1t dc
serves, the warmest support of every
progressive man In this city ant
county. The city will do her whol'
duty, and now let the farmers of Me-
Lehman do theirs, and we have thu

THE TEA AND COFFEE TAX.

Afr. DAWES, of Massachusetts,, deserves
credit for lis courage and hin statesmanship
in proposing to restore tho duties on ten and
colfce,-a duty Of - conts per pound on ten
md 8 cents per pound Oh co{foo. This
tax ought never to have bocn teponlel. Tint
repeal was fraud upon the country, md
intended to swinlie tho people. During tho
fiscal year 1872, tue reyonue from tea md
coffco was $1o,350,O0 Tho reped Of tho
tax was loss Of thot mich revenue annually,
without the slightest relief to the people who
consumed the articles. Tho moment tho tax
YVES removed in this country it was added to
their price by an export tax in China, Cuba,
aud Brazil. It wns h clear case Of tho transfer
Of our revenue to tho other countrios, ,-ollt
people paying tho tux with interest in either
case. 10 restore tho tax III to add nothing TO
tho cost Of tho articles, but to transfer the
royonuo from the Golfers Of China, Brazil
and Spain back to the Treasury Of the
United States.
This Tux on tea and coffee comes nearcr
to a purely revenue tax than any other; that
is to soy, every dollar Of it, loss the cost Of
collection, is received by tho Treasury. It is
tax solely for tho support Of tho Govern
1nent. The Treasury does not shars it with
any person or corporation. A. family pur-
