FREE PRESS.

There 10 no good reascn why the
types and printing press OF news-
papers shoule not be exempt from
taxation. The statute exempts tho
tools and implements OF all mecban-
les, and libraries Of physicians and
lawyers.
/ a lawyer may own, and MY
actually own law books to the value
Of several thousands of dollars, and
yet their Libraries are exempt from
taxation without regard to their valc
ne. They ought to be exempt for
the reason that the work OF law
yer is simply brain work and his
law books are merely the instru-
4 ments used in bis calling; without
his brain and thought they are use-
less and valueless. The same is true
of physicians.
| The type aud printing presses OF
"a newspaper office are -i,npiy tile
tools and instruments employ Cd by
the editor IN the composition oi the
newspaper. which is only valuable
as the product of his thought, the
outcome OF his BRAIN work. These
instruments or implements OF his
calling sta I'd IN the same relaiions
to his work as the library Of law
yer or physician toward his veca~
ton or proicssion. and the same
rule should be applied TO all.
But the statute exempts all libra-
rles tfomt taxation without regard
To their value. 4 gentleman IN
Mississippi can own Il library worth
Il hundred thousand dollars and pay
no taxes on it. And The policy Of
the law doubtless rests upon the
idea that the accumulation OF valua-
able lterture shou!o be promoted
and encouraged in The cause and
general intormauon and education.
The newspaper press is the great
est OF all popular educators. itnot
only gives The current news OF the
world, but the latest thought IN eel
enc. literature, art and government.
1t is comprehensive, cosmopolitan
and indispensable. There is not u
single subject Of popular thought,
not an idea that does not fall within
the scope OF the newspaper press
In later years it 10 becoming the

in the American Agriculturis, y ''that

There are 50 many little domestic arts
that farmer boy learns and to which
the town-bred lad is stranger! One
day, when there happened to be nobody
else lett on the place here who could
milk the COW, and the prospect was
that my grandchildren would moi

acquired on an Indiana farm. Ny

COW that way!' remember to have
read OF two great poets, Wordsworth
and Southey, who once went on an ex-
|cursion with their publisher, Mr.. Cave.
All three OF them tried in vain to pul
the collar off OF their horse, bat ii
seemed to them impossible to get II
off without taking the. horsols head
along with it. They finally concluded
that the horses head had swelled after

position 10 admit Canadian Goals free.
In doing so they upheld good Demo-
cratic doctrine and defended the ma
terial interests of this section from
serious invasion.
Whatever theoretical position indi-
vidlals may hold as to protection or
free trade, there a.e certain business
matters which refuse alignment under
any theoretical banner. They are
purely business propositions in which
one certain course means success and
another failure. 1t is plain beyond
dispute that New England has grown
enormously wealthy from a combina.
ton of the profits of protected indus
tries and the profits of their reinvest-
ment. It is equally PLAIN that the
South for ten years has been awaking
to the discovery that she can make
even greater profits along the same
lines. Not only that, but she can
owing to more favorable circumstances
take possession of certain industries
and monopolize the field of manufac-
ture.
She has discovered the wealth of
her coalfelds andis developing them.
Her soft Goals are the best steam Goals
in America and she sells New England
amillion tons a year. New England
has had huge field in the Southern
States fer her goods for many years,
. and it would be the height Of unfairness
FOR her to attempt to snuggle IN Nova
Scotia Goals, because temporary
cheapness might thereby be gained.
The fair-lninded manufacturers of New
England see this and have refused to
be led astray by Senator Sherman's
sfecious proposition.

RHETORIC AND SENSE.
"A Glowing Description OF What the
Future Stores for the Southwest.

A Glowing Description OF what the
Future Stores for the Southwest.
From the Richmond Dispatch.
The Southwest Virginia of to-day is
a land of beautiful skies, mountains,
and valleys. Picturesque streams wind
through woodlands and pastures to
great rivers. Grass grows luxuriantly
and the lowing of cattle is everywhere
heard. The grains are raised in abund-
ance, and the earth yields most of the
usual table fruits and vegetables.
Abundant as are the products of
The fields and forests, nature has con-
cealed beneath them such rich stores
of minerals that mining operations
have become ofgreat Importance, and
an era Of activity has been inaugu-
rated which shows its fruits in popu-
lous villages, towns and cities in To-
calities where few years ego the
stiffness of the country was unbroken
save by the herdsman and his flocks
and droves.
The railroads are penetrating the
region, and many new lines have
been built and others have been be-
gun. The demand for greater trans
portation facilities is urgent, and will
continue until lines reach all the prin-
cipal points where min es of coal and
iron, zinc, &C., and smelling furnaces
are located and operated.
We are beginning to see the dawn
of that development of the Southwest
which has been expected and pre-.
dicted ever since Professor Rogers
made his geological report. Its pro.
life resources will insure it great
population and wealth. Capital has
found remunerative instrument there,
1t is said that Northern men. having
been quicker than Virginians tc
understand aud appreciate the pos
sibilities of the country and better
able to venture large sums of money,
will be the chief beneficiaries in the
advance of property values; but the
old residents are bound to share il
tire benefits.
We rejoice in the prosperity of the
Southwest. To that loyal and indus
trious population Virginia ALWAYS low
ingly looks for wise counsel and sub
stantial help, and we can trust her tc
discriminate rigidly between empty
"booms" and solid industrial enter
prises. The construction of railroads
the opening of mines, the clearing OF
forests, the cultivation of fields, and
the building of towns and cities are al!
good evidences of permanency and
tokens of faith in the future.
Men of the Southwest, march on.
