TmE PnIonIrr OF LIE.-A Bio Sc,RE-CRow.
The Lien Law agitation in this State since
| its adoption in 1886 has had an annual pnr-
| oXysm. The subject of its repeal has excited
| statesmen in the General Assembly at each nm
nual session since the date namel. What will
| we do with it? was silencel at the recent
session by what is called the "priority law
| We propose to show briefly that there necl
be no righteousness on the part Of anybody by
reason of the recent enactment, The original
Act, 1866. Section 2,397, General Statutes,
gave lien on all crops to secure advances for
agricultural purposes; Acts Of 1873 80, Gen.
eral Statutes, gave to the landlord "prior and
preferred lien" for rent and advances Act Of
1869, Section 2,OS3 General Statutes, gave the
laborer n prior lien all crops RAISED upon
shares or other valuable consideration Thus
stood the Statutes until the legislation Of the
General Assembly Of 1880.

to give the landlord his rent and payment for
supplies in preference to oil other claims on
the crops raised on leased Ian Il. The laborer,
wherever he has sought remedy, has hal his
lien next enforced up the crops rs against any
party making advances In one case at least
this construction has been put upon the Stat
utes. and the decree by one Of ablest Cir
cult Judges, enforced without appeal.
Now, if we are right in view of the law
as it stood when the Legislature recently con-
vened, there has been no new departure, no
scintilla Of change, and the contortons of GER
tain Of the Representatives, who cry out that
our agricultural system is to be revolution lied,
is unwarrante1. The recent Act can only be
construed as dcclaratory Of the law as it stood.
or ts introduction, discussion and passage was
intended by its supporters as decoy to those
who appeared fatally bent on repeating the
{ whole business. The party making advances
has the same rights and remedies az hitherto
afforded. Besides, if the Lien Law is to stand
on the Statute Books, it is as it, should be-
