This is by far the most important step
ever taken in our country in favor of
the agriculturists. It is a recognition
of their rights which ought to have
been made many years ago. The fol
lowing is the Bill in full;
An act to establish agricultural ex
periment stations in connection with
the colleges established in the several
states under the provisions of ari act
approved July 2, 1802, and of the acts
supplementary thereto.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the
Senate ami House of Representatives
of the United States of America in
Congress assembled. That in order
to aid in acquiring and diffusing
among the people of the United States
useful and practical information on
subjects connected with agriculture,
and to promote scientific investigation
and experiment respecting the prin
ciples and applications of agricultu
ral science, there shall be established,
under direction of the college or col
leges, or agricultural department of
colleges, in each state ,<?r territory es

established, in accordance witli the
provisions of aruftct. approved .July <2,

Such bulletins or reports, and the an
nual reports of said stations, shall be
transmitted in the mails of tbe Unit
ed States free of charge for postage,
under such regulations as the pOSt-
nmster-general may from time to thue
prescribe.
Sec. 5. That for the purpose of pay
ing the necessary expenses of conduet-
ing investigations and experiments
and printing and distributing the re
sults as hereinbefore prescribed, the
sum of $15,000 is hereby appropriated
to each state, to be specially provided
for by Congress in the appropriations
from year to year, and to each territo
ry entitled under the provisions of
section eight of this act, out of any
money in the treasury proceeding
from the sales of public lands, to Is
paid in equal quarterly payments On
the first day of January, April* Ju y
and October in each year, to the
treasurer or other officer duly appoin i-

colleges to receive the same, ths ffr$t

cheap as they can be obtained from
the foreign pauper labor establish

Well have not these advantages
been extended to the “infants.” al
ready nearly eighty years old, and
are they not crying for the public
teat as wliiningly as ever? They have
not outgrown the cruel dependence
of infantile years. The protectionists
.love, yea, adore, the dearlittle tender
lings, and with beating hearts call
upon the government to furnish the
teats for them to suck, even it they
have to be filled by filching the pock
ets of the people and robbing them
and their children of the eurnings
gained by the sweat of their brows.
•And, as it has been, so it will be for
the next eighty years unless the peo
ple shall arise ' in their might, with
draw the teats, and put them upon
their mettle in the battle of life.
We deny that the foreign goods
whioh we would buy from a foreign
market, under free trade, would,
as the protectionists say, drain our
ntry of its gold. In a manly and
•able effort on the part of our
manufacturers, they would exchange
the prodnots of oufeotmtry for tne
1 products of foreifn countries. It
would be a system ac exchange of pro

marine which could compete with
that of any foreign land. This was
banished from the seas by protection,

Sec. 3. That in order to secure as
far as practicable, uniformity of
methods and results in the work of
said stations, it shall be the duty of
the United States commissioner of
agriculture to furnish forms, as far as
practicable, for the tabulation of re

to indicate, from time to time, such
lines of inquiry as to him shall teem

•tew of sacking the cash of the people,
instead of a manly strugglo for the re
words. of commerce. Under the low
tariffs, during the administrations of
folk andBuohanan, the United States
experienced the most prosperous time
in their history. Tire people were
prosperous and happy. Their for
«eign commerce was equal to that of
England, per capita. Our coiOurer
dal marine was equal, if not superior,
to tiiat of England, and In quality
was superior to any in- the seas, and
our navy was deemed a match for
any in the world. How Is it now'.
We have no commercial Marine, and
our navy is not a match for any third
or fourth rate nation of the ‘earth.
▲11 this inferiority has been oaused by
the protective tariff, and connected
with this damaging condition of af
fairs is a revenue system which im
poses a tax of one thousand miliioiis of
The Protective Tariff.
We shall not trouble our readers
with long articles, nor anything like a
regular and systematic series of arti
cles on the subject of protection in
our tariff laconics. We have in the
past prepared long and labored arti
cles upon this question. Our criticism
will be devoted to brief statements on
some of the main points urged in
favor of protection. One great point,
with the protectionists, is to exclude
many foreign goods and compel our
people to buy noine-made goods, and
they say this will not subject them to
higher prices than would rule under
a judicious tariff. Every reader
knows how the protectionists contend
that free trade would break down
our home manufacturers. How and
why? They say it would be done by
opening our ports to tbe low priced
goods of the pauper labor of Europe.
Ah! is that not an acknowledgment
that free trade would furnish the peo:
pie of America with cheaper goods
than they can obtain under the pro
tective tariff of the United States. JBu$

stead of paying from four to five
dollars for them, to get a fine suit of
broadcloth for $22 instead of paying

else. Ah! but says the protectionists
exclude the foreign goods, give the
entire, market to tne American manu

Tnis is the beading of Ain editorial
in a leadfng Southern journal. It is
written in reference to the wants of
Anniston, Ala., and says, “there is
not a vacant dwelling in that pro
gressive town, nor a vacant store to
rent.” The writer says, “that Annis
ton is at fault in this particular, and
is loosing a population that would go
there, if this fact did not exist." It
speaks well for the thrift and the bus
iness of Anniston, to have it said of
her, that all the house room within
her borders is taken up. But, on the
other hand, a little more push, and a
little more energy, and a little more
forethought on tne part of her people
who have the means to build houses
with, would have dwellings and stores
ready for any who might determine
to cast his lot with the people of that
town. Cannot tho same be said of
Milledgeville? If it is true of Mil
ledgeville. and Editors at a distance
write of it ns nn error in Anniston,
-for such a state of tilings to exist, is
it not. just as great, an error for such
a fact to obtain in our own town?
What is the remedy? Why, build
more houses. Who is to build them?
Those who have tire money to do so
with. If no individual capitalist feels
called upon to build up the town, let
the Building and Loan Association
take the matter in hand. Their char
ter and regulations allow them to
buy land, build houses and sell them
upon the installment plan. Go to all
or the cities of Georgia, and you will
find their suburbs built up in neat,
comfortable, cottage homes, Uy men
of moderate means, who obtained the
money from their Building and Loan
Association, arid paid it buck in
monthly installments. This is the
legitimate business of a Building and
Loan Association. This is their mis
sion, and where they are managed in
their way, and for this purpose, they
will build up any place wherein one
reorganized. In Atlanta, over a mil
lion of dollars has been used by these
Associations in building up houses
for her people. Perhaps more in Au
gusta, for they existed there before
they did in Atlanta. As little as our
Building and Loan Association has
done in this direction, there are sev
eral good and attractive homes here,,
which would never, perhaps, have
been built, but for the aid given by
this Association. Let our capitalists,
and our Loan Association see to this
matter, that no one who wishes to
become our fellow-citizen, shall be
forced to seek shelter in some other
town or city, because he oannot find
in Milledgeville “a place to lay hie
head.” E.
