A Brother of Freedom Organ says 1t is the work of labor organiza- tions to restore the business trans actions of laborers back to first prin clples. Some of these first princi pies were to live within one's means, to raise what he consumed, to hold fast to his integrity, and to know and practice that cotton IS not meat and bread"
 This would seem to be the right view of this matter. Many farmers with other laborers, have gone be- yond their capacity and means. and waking to seuse Of these facts they find themselves behind with oblga- tions and short of means. Then, without thought or reason, try to blame some one else with their loss es and misfortunes, or, us It may be, their mismanagemeut But we may say, safely, that our misfortunes come upon us, many times, on ac- count Of a lack of economy, industry, sound judgement and frugality. Economy IS q mighty lever with in Tdustry as fulcrum, to pry us out of financial despondency. Industry and prudence will pull us through the slough of indebtedness and want. if the great lever of economy IS well piled.
 We have heard men talk about hard times and their business being so restricted that 1t was almost i'm possible for them to make u living for themselves and family, and a; the same time they waste more than it would take to keep family of the same number of persons who use economy and prudence. If we would be happy and free of debt and inde pendent, we must learn not to be lidle, not to throw away bread and meat when once made; not to buy anything We can do without, espec ially if we have to buy on a credit. And if we have to buy anything on credit never work harder to avoid paying for it than you would to pay | for 1t.

and frugalits; by idleness and lack of selfreliance, prudence and hon. esty. Labor organizations will eff feet nothing in bettering the condi- tion of such, unless some reform is made in their mode of living and doiug.
 If men neglect their houses and lands, undoubtedly they will go to rack and ruin. Being organized will not cut down the brarnble bushes, open out the forest nor repair tue fences; neither will it fill our cribs with corn nor our meat houses with meat But with proper organization and q practical application of the means above suggested, will not only bring laborers back to first princi- pals, ijut will place them amid opu- lencc ana in power.-Ex

 In planting fruit trees, it is best not to experiment largely with new varieties, unless you can afford it.. The first and most important step is to learn what varieties succeed best in your vicinity, and be governed in your selections by the experience of your neighbors. This. with, the ad vice of your neighboring nursery meu will prevent many mistakes which so often cost so much time and money to remedy.
 Judging from the reports from our exchanges, the corn and hog crop of Arkansas, this year ought to insure us an abundance of "Hog and Hom iny' for the present season. The corn crib and smokehouses for 1886. will be located in Arkansas. if we mistake not the 'sigus of the times" This is right. There is poor encour agement for our farmers if, year by year, they must if necessity pay trib ute to the north and west for the common necessaries of life.
 It would be well if our farmer friends would pay more attention to fall blowing. There are many acres Of tiIlahle lands on every farm that have yielded thelr crops for the sea son, that have gone to grass and weeds. If these were now turned under while the stalks are still green the land, meantime, would be vastly benefited, and an ill brood of grass and weed seeds would be destroyed which would otherwise spring up the coming season to increase the labor of cultivation. "Speed the plow," farmer friends, from now on until the winter sets in. It will be time well spent.
 Winter comes apace, not the cold hard freezing weather, of months of duration us is the case at the North and East, but couple of months at least, where the cold rains with their frosts, snows and sleets will of ne- cessity require us to feed and care for our stock portion of the time at least In order to do this properly good supply of forage will be found necessary.
 Are we prepared for this? If not, | we should not neglect this matter

An Open Letter to Whom It May
 Concern.
To the Editor of the Gazette:

1 have been informed upon un questionable authority that no sui has been brought to enforce the col lection of the five or six hundred thousand dollars of back taxes duo the state by the Iron Mountain Rail road
 Surely those having the matter in charge have not sufficiently reflected upon what this means. The Inter. est on these taxes reckoned at only ( per cent amount to between thirty and thirty six thousand dollars per annum, so that this neglect to en- force it's collection is equivalent to donating to this railroad about $3000 for every month of delay.
 What claim has this road-partic uarly this railroad upon the state for such liberal donation? It has been fostered and protected by the state as no other roilroad has. It was given a magnificent land grant. If 1 remember rightly it was exempt ed from taxation until it's net earn ings should have reached 10 per cent upon it's capital stock. The state gave It the free use of it's right of eminent domain from one end of Arkansas to the other. Tie gener- al assemblies have refrained from hostile legislation regula ing its rates of freight and passage, leaving it to charge and discriminate with out let or hindrance. Yet this cor. poratlon thus fostered and favored until it's wealth has attained to fully one fourth of all the state besides, refuses to meet that share of the bur dens of the government which pro. tects it which is met by the hum- blest tax payer in the state.
 It is precisely this kind of con duet that breeds undue and often un- just prejudice against all roads. It is upon such outrages that the un reasoning prejudice against railroads in certain quarters feeds.
 It is now some eight or ten months
 
 States rendered the decision which disclosed this indebtedness to.the state, and yet no suit has been brought to recover it. In other words, we have donated to this rail road about $25,000 by negIecting to discharge duty.
 l have rot examined the law to ascertain whose duty it is to enforce this collection, nor do care. It is no part of the purpose of this letter tn indulge in crimination of any body but simply as tax payer and in the name of the tax payers of the state to protest against another months delay. Very truly, etc,

 In his interview with Littl, Rock Democrat reporter, Attorney General Jones, referring to the abov, letter, showed very clearly tha: by { cast.ir provision ot our COL stitu ton it is lett to the legislature to fis the value of all property subject tt taxation, and that the legislatur, having for years neglected to attend to this very important duty, the Statt goes without taxes that have long been due from the Iron Mountain railroad. The attorney general shows too, that other States leave the man ner of fixing the value of such prop erty to the courts, winch would cer tainly be very great improvement on the method prescribed by oul constitution.

Every succeeding week brings new surprises in the copper market and 8 more discouraging outlook for the producer, Two weeks ago, it was thought that climax had been reached, and now late adyices from the east bring the news of further decline in prices, aud what is still more disheartaning, that the pool of Lake companies have made five months contract with a number of the neavy consumers to deliver from two to two and half million pounds per month, at a price, to begin with, of l0l cents. It is not to remain at that, but be governed by and will fol- low the fluctuations in Chlli bars, but the maximuug price IS fixed at llA cents, As the Calumet < HeUla com pany is virtually the pool, this heavy cut in prices by them, can not be viewed in any other light than the beginning of war of extermlnation, calculated to put quietns on the operations of all other mines in Amer lea. This conclusion Is confirmed by the advance of Calumet < Hecla stock from Sl42 to $l503 per share, in one day, We have no doubt but that this de- structive policy, inaugurated by the Lake pool, will be successful in dri7- ing out of the market nearly all other American producers. Already several of the large Montana comnau.ai have shut down, unable longer to stand the pressure. Other mines there and in Arizona will be forced to the wall be- fore many weeks.
 There Is, nevertheless, reason for the people of Globe to feel hopeful This policy of extermination begun by the Lake ptol will have the effect of quickly checking the production of copper and stocks must be rapidly de- pleted, This condition of affairs in sures a more rapid recovery in prlces, and if the Old Dominion Company can effect reduction in expenses which will enable them to continue produc- tion until the reaction sets in, then Globe will experience better times.
