of this great Nation, but after read.
ing the following extract we stopped.
One would naturally expect some
thing practical, able and sensible
from the head of great farmers
organization. But when he opens
like q sophomore in college, or a
country school boys defamation, it
is surprising. Here is the gushing
opening paragraph:

clad hills, the fowery dales. the golden
shore and prairie lands we meet together
by the historic palmetto. Not ~ Nomads,
who gather at shrine in obedience to sen.
timent, do we come, but as chosen repre-
sentatiyes Of the fraternity whose object is
the moral and material advancement Of the
greatest industrial iutereat of the great re.
public. Standing as we do to-day upon the
narrow line which divides the past from
the future, about TO step forward into that
time which is all unseen by human eve, it
behooves us TO well scrutinize the track be-
hind Us that We may gain thereby some
clue to the path before.

Is 1874 Congress passed what is
commonly known as the " Poland
Gag Law" Certain newspapers,
claiming an immunity to blackguard
and Islander every public man who
crossed their path, raised u terrible
wall that this law was gag" upon
the freedom of the press. A little
fellow, telegrsphing mean falsehood
about Senator Chandler to the St.
Louis Republican, indicted for libel
and likely to be brought to punish
ment for it, is bowling about "muz.
zling the press If such fellows
could be " muzzled," it would be cred
table to the press; for their indis.
criminate and unjust attacks upon
public men, are fast encroaching upon
the influence and character OF ouI
newspapers. The folly Of the attack
upon the Poland law is now shown
very strikingly by the unanimous re
port just made by the Senate Judici
airy Committee, which concludes as
follows: The result is that the &C
of June %. 1874, is not, in our opin
ion, obnoxious TO any criticism; anC
in respect TO the crime of libel, i
confers no power either to bring
person charged with it into the Dis
trict Of Columbia or send him out o
it," This report is signed by tn
two Democratic Senators, one G

We are not surprised at the ignor-
ance displayed by the Chattanooga
Times as to important facts, for it is
an every day occurrence, but we are
surprised to see Senator Marchbanks,
whose knowledge Of public affairs is
admitted on all hands, offering
a preamble and resolution in
the Legislature reciting the fact
that no appropriation has been
recommended by the Committee on
Appropriations for the improvement
of the Tennessee river. The fact is,
the Committee reports in favor of
$4,000 for the Tennessee river,
above Chattanooga, and 100000 be-
low that point, including the Muscle
Shoals. The Senator's resolution
passed without a dissenting voice,
and would have been all right if the
facts promised had really been facts.

THERE are but three or four States
in the Union where the public taxes
are lower than in Tennessee. 1t is
very common to charge the "Radi-
Gals" with the burdens of taxation
in our State, but the fact is that
counting the debt created before the
war, and the accrued interest that the
Republicans had to provide for, at
the close of the war, nearly one-half
the debt was created before tho Re.
publicans took charge Of the State.
Our rate OF taxation, 50 far from be.
ing high, is very low. The per capita
tax in Tennessee is $500. The On.
ly States where it is lower, are

we are so poor that it comes harder
to us to pay $3.50 per capita than it
does the people in Massachusetts to
pay $17.l0. We have such misera.

we raise but little, and are forced to
spend that little in the wrong direc.
ton. With all our natural advan.
tsges, we seem to get along poorly.
1t is not that our taxes ar, high,
out that we are so poor, thit we
can not pay them The taxts are
about rs low as it is possible to get
them. If we want schools, g.. we
need to look after the other end of
the line, and increase our ability to
pay them by better farming, better
