One Of Mr.. Harr's big points in his
speech in Jonesboro Monday night, was
the advocacy Of a change in the exemp.
ton laws allowing no exemption In a
debt contracted for labor performed. In
this connection we desire to call atten.
ton to the fact that Mr.. Harr is promis.
ing so much rather overstepped the
boundary line which his party has laid
down in that direction. The first lien
law enacted by the Legislature after the
war, was in 1868. The Republicans
we're then in charge Of the State affairs,
On the Democrats coming into power In
1870, they repealed this law, and have
ever since avoided the passage Of any law
beneficial to the laborer. A Republican
introduced the best lien law evey propos-
ed for consideration by our Legislative
body, but the Democrats defeated 1t. The
record shows that they will defeat any
measure looking to the protection OF the
laborer every time. During o political
canvass that party will sometimes allow
Its candidates to put n foot over the
line drawn by the party leaders, but when
the desired end is secured, by capturing
the votes Of the people, the lash Is sp
piled and the foot comes back. Just .,
with Mr.. Harr, (eyen If his plan be
good one; and We doubt Its advisable
