Preciated, industry paralized, trade de-
pressed, business incomes and wages

WHEREAS, While we recognize the

which they were contracted.

ments Of business, fixing a minimum
amount per capita of the popu alton a.
near as may be, and otherwise regula
ting It's value by wise and equitable
provisions Of law, so that the rate of in
terest will secure to labor its Just re
ward.
FIFTH--It is inconsistent with the
genius Of popular government that any
species of private property should be
exempt from bearing it's Just share OF
the public burdens. Government bonds
and money should be taxed precisely
as other property, and a graduated in
come tax should be levied for the sup
port Of the Government and the paw
ment Of it's debts.
SIxTH-Public lands are the COM
mon property Of the whole people, and
should not be sold to spectators nor
granted to railroads or other corpora
lions, but should be donated to actual
settlers, in limited quantities.
SEVENTH government should
by general enactments, encourage the
development of our agricultural, min
eral, mechanical, manufacturing, and
commercial resources, to the end that
labor may be fully and proitably en-
ployed, but no monopolies should be
legalized.
EIGHTH-All useless offices should be
abolished, the most rigid economy IA
vored In every branch Of the public ser
vice, and severe punishment inflicted
upon public officers who betray the
trusts reposed in them.
NTH AS educated labor has de-
vised means for multiply ing production
by inventions and discoveries. and as
their use requires the exercise of mind as
we'll as body, such legislation should be
had that the number of hours of daily
toll will be reduced, giving to the work
ing classes more leisure for improve
ment and their several enjoyments, and
saving them from premature decay aud
death.
TENTH-The adoption OF an Ameri-
can monetary system, as proposed here
in, will harmonic all differences in re-
gard to tariff, and federal taxation, re-
duce and equalize the cost of transpor-
tation by land and water, distribute
equitably the joint earnings of capital
and labor, and secure to the producers
of wealth the result of their labor and
skill, and muster out of service the vast
army of oilers who, under the existing
system, grow rich upon the earnings Of
others, that every man and woman
may, by their own efforts secure CON-
petence, SO that overgrown fortunes and
extreme poverty will be seldom found
in our republic.
ELEVENTH Both national and state
governments should establish bureaus
of labor and industrial statistics. cloth
ed with the power Of gathering and
publishing the same.
TwELFTH-That the contract system
of employing labor IN our prisons and
institutions works great in
justice to our mechanics and artisans.
and should be protected.
THIRTEENTH-The importation of
seryile labor into the United States. /
from China, is a problem of the most
serlons Importance, and we recommend
legislation looking to its suppression.

The Insurance Question.

Our readers will have seen that the
outcome of the agitation on the subject
of the present pernicious insurance policy
of the State. which, as we have said, is a
putrid "reminiscences of Radical misrule,
amounts almost to nothing-merely re-
dection of the privilege tax on Life COM
panies from $1,000 to $500. The deposit
system, which, so far as Life companies
are concerned. don't amount to pinch
Of snuff in protecting policy holders, but
which does serve the purpose of forcing
the State to pay out more in the way of
interest than it receives in the shape of
privileges, and is thereby losing BUSH
ness to the Treasury-remains in full
force and effect. 1t is not the first re-
form which we have aided to accomplish
and which has been achieved in spite of
defeat and Encouragement in the begin
ming. The subject will come up again.

The EGaneas Emigration Move.
Daemt.

Some time since an emigration of col
ored people was commenced from Ken
lucky to Kansas. 1t extended to Ten
nessee and North Georgia, and has
continued gradually to spread. Since
the first of January, we have heard of
numerous colored men, some of them,
With their families, departing from this
part of Mississippi. In repeated instances
we have heard of men who had engaged
homes for the year, pulling up stakes
without the knowledge of the proprietors
and turning up suddenly in Kansas. The
reason assigned was that they had become
involved in debt for supplies, and had no
other way of extricating themselves. 1t
Is one of the balefql effects of the lien
law in fostering the credit system, tempt-
ing persons to go in debt, and giving
merchants confidence that they could
safely indulge the proclivity of their Gus
toners to do so. The consequence is that
have lost their tenants, and
laborers IN despair have fed the State.
It's the old story of killing tbs goose that
laid the golden egg.

A LETTER from Col. c. p Nelson, a
well-known leading attorney Of Southwest
Mississippi,w acted as District Attorney
during the Pike county term, temporarily
in place Of Mr.. II. Cassidy, who was un
avoidably absent, deserves attention. 1t
shows that Judge Chrisman has been
unjustly censured; that he used his
utmost efforts to punish and suppress
lawIessness, and that the results of his
administration will be shown ia the near
future. In this connection, we will add
that we learn that in Pike county large
number of indictments were found against
Iawless persons who were not found, and
that in Amite, at the present term of the
court, some twenty-five or thirty have
been arrested and lodged in Jail.
