planned Of as an aegis of inmunit,
to every small property holder o

"ln short. there was strong
tendency in the public mind to re.
bound TO the other extreme--to the
abrogation of all exemptions
Here was a demand for law
which would not permit the OBJ
struction or destruction of our do
nestle commerce, by its provisions
for exemptions. and IN response to
this demand we have the constitu-
tional ordinance and the statute
now prevailing. These being de-
signed by the trainers for the pro-
lection of both creditor and debtor,
their effect being mutual as be-
tween the two.
What class of creditors are af-
fected by the recordation of the
reservation? II against those who
contracted debts prior to the re-
cordation, the advantage is inap-
preciable, being only the advantage
of knowing from the record that
the debtors have placed their prop
erty beyond even their own con-
troll, and therefore are utterly I'M
able, even though willing. TO pay
the debts. But il this rseordation
is valid only IS to debts contracted
subsequently thereto, then has
trade derived an incalculable ad
vantage therefrom. as every mans
status may be known from CON
sulting the parish records, and
business transacted with cor. para

A TARIFF QUESTION.
Secretary FoIger's Decisions Adverse 10
the Iron Manufacturers.

The decision of the secretary of the treas
ury with regard to the construction of tho
charcoal iron" and Ground iron" provisions
of the last tariff act is adverse to the claims
of the manufacturers on both points. The
first question raised was with respect to the
scope of u proviso in the fifth paragraph OF
the section of the act relating TO metals. This
paragraph of the act prescribes the duty to
be paid on bar iron, including flats and round
and square iron, of various Dimensions anu
provides also that all iron in other forms
less finished than iron in bars, and moro ad-
vanced than pig iron, except castings, shall
be rated as iron in bars aud pay like duty.
The paragraph closes with the proviso, THAT
all iron bars blooms, billets, or sizes, or shapes
of any kind in the manufacture, of which
charcoal is used as fuel, shall be subject to a
du:y of $22 per tom
This proyiso, the manufacturers claimed,
applied not only to the iron enumerated in
tho fifth paragraph, but to all other shapes
and classes of iron in tho manufacture of
which charcoal is used for fuel. The socre-
tary holds that the proviso relates only to
the iron enumerated in the fifth paragraph.
The second question was us to the scope of
the provisions of the eighth paragraph in tho
metal section which says: Ground iron in
coils or rods not less than seven-sxteonths of
an inch in diameter and bars or shapes of
rolled iron not especially enumerated or pro-
vided for III this act one and two-tenths of
one cent per pound"
Another paragraph in the act-the thirty
eighth in the metal chedule-provides for q
duty of but -tenths of one cent per pound
ON iron or steel rivot, screw, nail, and fence
wire rods round in coils or loops Of certain
dimensions which were included in the
enumeration in the eighth paragraph, and it
was claimed that to these the ratio fixed in
the eighth paragraph should apply The
secretary decides that the provisions of the
thirty-oighth section shall govern the rate of
duty on rivet, screw, nail, and fence wire
rods. although they como under the general
round iron classification in the eighth para
graph,

NOT DEAD YET,

We mean all the cranks. This time
they are actual female cranks. \ lot
of old maids in Massachusetts,, who are
probably toOthless and wrinkled, want
to form society and go west in mob,
so to speak, and just capture all the
Western bachelors, and actually marry
them. These females who have failed
to make the necessary matrimonial rip
pie must be laboring under sad delu.
sions. One of them addressed her
wants. to-get-married" sister, telling
them they would go out in the wild,
wild (?) West, marry cattle kings,
bonanza kings, farm kings, and heaven
only knows how many other kinds OF
kings. They want to marry the whole
country, men, money and everything,
What grand idea of the West these
female Observation-Disclosures beings
must have. Go on, We elderly msidens,
go. HE We to the land toward the set
ting sun aud marry the whole business.
It's grand scheme, a grand idea and
a glorious thought. But We are afraid
some of these msidens will be trans
porting hash in the typical mining
Town dining rooms, and clerkiug in
dry goods stores. We are afraid they
will have to be contented with getting
husband who earns a living by the
sweat of his brow, and We fear their
"kingly" ideas of matrimony will b.
knocked into.a cooked hat before they
have lived in the Western land three
days. But there is no use trying to
tell Massachusetts women anything. II
they once set their minds upon marry
ing kings of some kind in the Western
country they'll dot, if they must marry
The kings of the railroad bitches, which
will in all probability have to queach
the thirst for the "kingly" longiugs in
the matrimonial markets of the land
beyond the Mississippi.

TIE nAKRINGE VOW.

Stories oi conjugal inlelicities have Of
late days occupied u great deal Of space
in thu newspapers. There have not
been many divorce scandals, especially
IN high life, for there has apparently
been atendency to adopt speedier means
of escaping irkSome bonds. Some az
lrieved parties havr sought relief in
elopement, Others in mysterious disap-
pearance, and several, in the lower
classes particularly, have tried suicide,
and some have had recourse to murder.
Most of the means alluded to are ex-
tremely reprehensible, and some are
positively criminal; but what else can be
expected in a state of society that looks
upon hasty and ill-assorted marriagesas
rather romantic than otherwise" Such
solutions of " pleasant problems Owed

PRIVATE INyESTMENTs.

Our attention has recently been called
to proposition, emanating from con-
spicuoUs source, advocating the annual
distribution among the several states
of the entire surplus revenue of the Ma
tional treasury, TO be employed in the
reduction or extinguishment Of their
State or municipal debts. Exactly what
would be gained by this movement we
confess that We are unable to perceive.
Certainly, the obligation of the Nation
al war debt is of the first Importance to
the National government, and there is
no good reason that we know Of why
the government should turn aside from
the wholesome work of honestly pay
ing off and txtipguishing that war debt
and applying the money to the redemp-
ton of obligations properly belonging
TO the several States and their munich
palities. Perhaps it may not be a VIC.
lent assumption to say that one object
ofthe proposed movement is to let the
war debt stand as an investment ofun.
deniable value and utility, not merely
for the bonded security of the National
banks, but also for the investment Of
the reserve capital Of Observation-Disclosures
and corporations. The question is
sometimes asked, what is to become of
the National banking system If the war
debt should sill be Taid of?
If, then, this consideration is really
at the bottom of the proposition above
referred to, there is good reason to ap-
prehend that it will eventually take the
shape, not of q distribution of q surplus

RRIsANps OF TENDER YEARS.

The growing crop OF dime novel
heroes, in spite Of all reports to the con-
trary, promises well this, and there y
every prospect that the yield will be
fully up to the average and gilmore than
average quality. Ohio has furnished a
sample that shows that the country Is
in no immediate danger Of suffering
from dearth of infant rufflars. CHAR
LEY BUTLER and HARRY BUM, OF
Mount Vernon, IN that State, aged ten
and twelve years, primed with cheap
sensation literature, stopped groeers
wagon, covered its boy driver with
their revolvers and made him drive
out in the country, where, ordering
him to hole up his hands in true West
ern frontier fashion, they went through
his pockets. This is but one OF the
many incidents tending to prove that
infant deprivity is fully keeping pace
with the development of the other in
terestS Of the country.

revenue, but rather ola proposition to
assume on the part of the National gov
eminent all those portions of the debts
Of States or municipalities that may
have been incurred for. war purposes al
any time during the history Of the Re-
public, excepting ofeourse the rebel war
debts, which are excluded by the Con-
stitutional amendments.
We need noIemiud our readers that
when Texas was annexed to the Union
the debt was assumed and paid of by
the National government, and that
there have been several precedents in
our history sufficient to warrant such
movement at this time. 1t Is true that
under the auspices Of HENRY CLAY
Congress passed bill providing for the
distribution of the surplus revenue
among the several States, but the move
ment became imperative because there
was no surplus to distribute. We con-
f.ss that we have no decided feeling on
either side OF this question, and yet We
feel growing belief that this issue may
possibly become leading and import
ant element in the National election
and canvass of 1884, or perhaps later on.
One thing appears tie be pretty certain
the annual surplus revenue is so very
large that any proposition having refer
ence 10 it must necessarily cause much
agitation and widespread discussion.
II, Hereford, Congress can in the mesu-
time forestsll that agitation by some
measure which shall also provide a new
and greatly enlarged National security
for individual investment Of capital, the
great point will be gained in public af-
fairs. There can be no doubt that the
National government could without
embarrassment shoulder the load; but
the policy of such a movement would
demand the most profound considera-

FARM LABOR.

The peasant labor of Ireland, Ger
many, Hungary and Italy is now flow
ing into the country in 80 mighty a vol
ume that some of the leading newspa-
pers do not hesitate to demand that
our National government shall adopt
measures to prevent the emptying upon
our shores of large numbers Of paupers.
or course this seems natural enough,
and yet We cannot refrain from saying
that however ignorant and unskille1
as well as poor and suffering these for
eign peasants may be, they will prove
welcome as agricultural labOrers in al
most any of the farming States of the
Republic, and it is precisely by such
means that the agriculture Of the North
and West has attained such maguifi-
cent proportions and prosperity. With
out undertaking TO crIticise the social
organization, land laws or the agricul-
ture which renders those European
countries unable to afford even com
mon subsistence TO these famished,
houseless, friendless and penniless crea-
lures, We may yet say with justice and
truth that they have been of quite a.
much use 20 our agriculture, in keeping
it supplied with cheap and available
common labor, as the same emigration
has been famous for supplying US with
1. Ill 10 %
ers on the railroads, canals, streets and
public works of the country.
We are very well aware that it is
quite customary to attribute the tri-
umphs of Northern and Western agri-
culture chiefly to the extensive use of
labor saving machinery; but this only
tells part ofthe story, for the greater
part of the small farmers are too poor
TO employ such machinery, and there
fore depend upon their own labor and
that of few cheap foreign peasants.
These are the small beginnings out OF
which in many thousands ofcases have
grown up wealthy, prosperous, large
and we'll stocked farms aud plIntat .ons.
In the case of the Irish and others VIII
are now being landed in large numbers
at Boston and New York, although
many must be regarded as actual pau
pers, assisted by their landlords and by
the government of England to migrate
hither, employment is offered them at
once in large manufacturing establish
ments, on railroads and in agricultural
districts in distant States. This popu-
lation has been esrelessly spoken ofboth
by English and American journals a.
being worthless. 1t is really a matter
of record that the prosperity of many
portions of this country has been built
up solidly and substantially out ofjust
such materials as these, from which We
infer that there is no danger at all in
tolerating and even encouraging this in
H,r~
