THE EXEMPTION OF MANUFACTURES.

THE EXEMPTION OF MANUFACTURES.
A proposition to amend the constitution so
as to permit the legislature to exempt from
taxation all manufactures for term Of
years not exceeding twenty, it seems is now
pending before the legislature. There il
moro in this proposition than Is apparent
upon its fsce at first glance. There is
plausibility in it, everything considered
concerning the developing condition Of our
state and the primitive nature Of all indus
trial enterprises in our midst that is calcu
lated 10 make it popular and secure friende
for its endorsement and support, but ii is
eminently the duty of tho statesman and the
people generally to look at tho measure in
all its bearings and to weigh well its proba-
bic and possible effects. The democratic
platform enunciated at Cincinnati contained
q plank declaring for u tariff for revenue
only, and it is the policy Of the democratic
party, and we believe the settled conviction
Of Il large majority Of the people of this
union, that protective tariff that builds up
manufacturing moncpolies and enriches n
few people at the expense Of the masses, is
radically wrong and detrimental TO the best
interests Of The country at large. TO exempt
manufactures a taxation is superlatiyely
Il protection, the very essence of that wrong
so urgently objected 10. Viewed in the
abstract, all protective. legislation is evil; il
is but els legislation and discriminates 10
favor Of one class Of citizens over another
aAd builds up one interest or species of in.
terests,to tho detriment ofother interests, and
therefore is yiolativo of principle, and on
principle should be opposed. But then, cir
cumstances alter cases In considering this
question we must look AT in light that
reaches beyond the mere abstract. We
know that for number Of years high pro-
tective tariff has obtained in this country
Under it tho industrial resources Of many
sections Of the country have been built mp
and put upon Arm ard sure basis. Those
sessions that have not been able so far TO
avail of hess advantages have
nevertheless had their pro rata of the bur
then created by this protection to bear and

Preserve the Fish.

EDITOR CITIZEN Whilst we are
endeavoring to align our good
county of Giles with the most pro-
gressive and prosperous in the
State, by an earnest effort to pro
mote agricultural Improvement, i'm
prove the condition of our public
roads, and the building of turnpikes,
let us not forget some smaller
things that are essential, il some
degree, to our happiness and pleas
ure-the fish interest amongst 9th
ers. The protection of the fish in
our small streams is not essential to
our prosperity, for we can never
make a trade in them profitable,
but by protecting them against the
wholesale slaughter produced by
some of the methods of catching
them, now in vogue, we may en-
nance. the anglers sport and in
crease the supply as a luxury.
Our small streams, in late years,
have been almost stripped of fish
by baskets, which Is a very de-
structive method of fishing, and en-
ables those who fish in this way al
most to monopolize the few that re-
main in our streams. Some little
SEEMING is done also. Cats almost
the only fish caught in this way.
Other varieties, particularly the
redhorse and sucker, are almost ex
tirpated by the snatching process
in the shoaling season. We have
law already which forbids seining
and trapping. but 1t is disregarded.
We should have n more stringent
and a more comprehensive law. A
law was enacted by the 10th Gener-
al Assembly, which has been eX-
tended over about a dozen counties.
If the same law was extended over
Giles county, and provision add
ed, making it the duty of the judge
to give it in charge to the grand ju
rles, the fish in cur small streams
would have all tie protection need
ed. Ought not this to be done?
Had wo such law, which could
work no injury to any one for the
fish are pubic property, our
streams would soon be swSrming
with the finny tribes, and the inter
ests of the largest number would be
subserved, whilst there are, compar-
atively, only q few, who would re-
luctantlY relinquish the privilege of
destroying by Wholesale the few
fish we now have. Our legislators
should look 20 our interests in this
matter. Our progressive citizens
would approve, and few would con-
denim. Let us hear from the lovers
of this rare sport, of the scaly lux
ury, and of justice. K. Z. UNUM.

Tennessee LegisIature.

Thursday morning last, W. j.
Buchanan, the member from Law
renee and Wayne; Alexander Bag
well, from Montgomery and Stew
art; John NJ. Driver, from Benton
and Humphreys, and ThOs. b.
Haynes, from Wllliamson-all low
tax Democrats-aided with their
votes the election of John E. Simms,
of Lawrence county, straight Re
publican, for Sergeant-at-arns, de-
featiDg H. T. Prater, Democrat.
Following this was the election of
E. j. Hadley, a negro saloon keeper,
of Nashville, Assistant Sergeant at
arms, by the votes OF the thirty
seven Republicans and w. j. Buc-
hanan, Democrat.
This completed the organization
of the House-organized by the Re-
publicans with the assistance of
some low-tax Democrats.
The organization of the House
had no sooner been completed than
the Supreme Court decision in the
Stewart-Fout contest was received,
granting the seat to Stewart dem
ocrat.) The Republicans kicked a
little and at first began to fillibus-
ter, but finally concluded it would
not be wise to buck against the
high court of the State and allowed
Stewart to be sworn in. They then
filed notice contrasting his seat.
THE SENATE.
On Thursday, after several days
Of unsuccessful balloting, Hon. Geo.
H. Morgan, of Smith county, was
elected speaker of the Senate, the
state-credit democrats and Cason,
republican, voting for him. The
new Speaker is rated among the
low takers, but he occupies middle
and conservative ground upon that
distracted question. Mr.. Morgan
made q neat, brief speech upon as
Stunning the duties OF Speaker. He
said that he was Democrat of the
jackson school, and would be guild
ed by the precepts and teachings of
that illustrious man, and would dis
charge the duties of his Office with
impartiality, without fear or favor.
He hoped that the Democrats would
come together for the good of their
State and party.
On the following day James Har-
ris was re elected assistant SER
geant- alarms and Miss Eliza +.
Cook, Of Williamson, engrossing
clerk
Both houses, after completing
the work OF reorganization, adj
journed until Monday.

Is Your Time Out?

We feel gratifieI for the manner
in which our subscribers are renew
ing. They are coming in in large
numbers, mt one in fifty stopping
the paper, and for every one that
does stop, ten new names are added.
This is encouraging to our efforts
to give the people Of Giles the best
country paper ever circulated
among them. Its proprietors have no
other means of earning ativelihood
and they are compelled to make the
CITIZEN acceptable. We have passed
q yesr of unprecedented patronage.
We would be ungrateful il we failed
to express our heartfelt thanks.
Our proprietorship of the CITIZEN
is absolute, now that our Outstand-
ing promises to pay for it are en-
dorsed by the people. We earnest
ly thank you and as earnestly re-
quest that you continue your sup
port, so that, while you get paper
that is worth its price, as we trust
you do, you are also lending aid to
a Giles county public enterprise.
journalism is a profession as dis
tinct as medicine, trade as we'll
defined as blacksmIthing, a work as
individual in itself as blowing. 1t
is not to be taken on and thrown
off as a means to satisfy a within or
pastime. To make a success of it,
it must be an individual labor, an
unremitJing toll. We have made it
4 profession, work for life, and
we surrender all our time, labor
and experience to it's furtherance.
We expect to be and remain with
this people in this capacity only,
giving no thought or time to any
thing else, and if the people sup
port and build US up,as they are now
doing, we hope to make a return by
giving them a paper that will be a
source of pleasure at home and
give them an enviable reputation
abroad.
Those who have not renewed as
yet. we earnestly ask to do so at
once. We have found it best for
you and for ourselves that we ad
here to cash system. If we lose
money by subscribers, it takes away
that much of our means to make
the CITIZEN acceptable to those
who do pay, and hence our patrons
cannot afford it any more than our
selves. We will commence at once
to erase those who do not renew, af-
ter giving them reasonable time.
We hope to retain them all. We
know we shall have more, for we
spare no work or pains, night and
day, to make 1T to the interest of
the people to read our paper. A
citizen OF Giles county cannot af-
ford to get behind the times, as he
will do unless he reads the CITIZEN.
From nine to fourteen columns of
local reading matter is laid before
you each week-twIce Ito three
times as much as any paper ever
before gave in Giles county. We
trust we merit your support and
upon that ground we ask all our
readers to renew their subscrip-
tons at once.

Petitions to Congress are being

Petitions to Congress are being
throughout Tennessee,
and, indeed, in every State, by the
Patrons of Husbandry, praying that
body to pass the Reagan bill, to
regulate interstate commerce; also,
the bill TO make the Commissioner
of Agriculture cabinet officer, and
to revise the patent laws. Trans
portation has become one of the
most important questions of the
day, and one by no means confined to
grangers; the-mercantile and manu-
featuring classes have, also, a deep
interest in it. 1t is engaging some
of the most powerful minds in the
country, and there is a growing de
sire to understand the precise rela-
tions these great thoroughfares bear
to the government and the public
generally. The war against the rail-
roads will prove fierce fight of num-
bers against corporate wealth; of
right and justice against q power
which, it is alleged, recognizes no law
but that of selfinterest, and which is
discriminating. oppressive and ar
rogant. The object of the law in
question is to SO regulate charges
as to prevent local discrimination,
excessive freights, pooling, and to
bring these corporations under just
and normal restrictions. With re-
regard to the making of the Com
missioner of Agriculture a cabinet
officer, it is contended that agricul-
ture, which is a great national in
dustry-the main source OF the
wealth, power and prosperity of the
country-needs a higher recogni-
ton by the general government
than it has heretofore received, and
for its proper development and pro-
lection should have a representa-
tive at the council board of the
president of the United States. This
is a just demand, and if pressed
with earnestness and unanimity by
those who pursue this great leading
interest, will doubtless be acceded
to. The revision of the patent laws
is imperatively demanded, for the
purpose of protecting innocent pur-
chasers against fraudulent vendors
of patents and patent rights. This
is a more common evil in many
of the northern states than in our
own section, yet it is one that calls
for redress.
