We are xSmefr pleas ed to do so now and. dohbt pot it will afford much pleasure to our readers. 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 tablished, or which nijiy hereafter be established, in accordance witli the provisions of aruftct. approved .July <2, 1802,..entitled ‘(An act donating pub lic lJSaS 4d tire s^vth-al States Anti ter ritories which may provide colleges for tho benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arte,” or any of the supple ments to said act, a department to be ■Ht’il as an “agri- 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 $15,000 is hereby appropriated to each state, to be specially provided for by Congress in the appropriations from year to year, and to each territo ry entitled under the provisions of section eight of this act, out of any money in the treasury proceeding from the sales of public lands, to Is paid in equal quarterly payments On the first day of January, April* Ju y and October in each year, to the treasurer or other officer duly appoin i- ed by the governing boards of said colleges to receive the same, ths ffr$t payment to be made on the first.day of October, 13987; Provided, howevs y That out of the first annual ation so received by any si amount not exceeding one-! be expended in the erection, ment, or repair of a building ings necessary for carrylni work of such station; and 1 an amount not exceeding 6 per osntm l of snch annual appropriation may be so expended. . Sec. 0. That whenever it shall. Uh these and nil other articles as cheap as they can be obtained from the foreign pauper labor establish ments, as they call them. 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 its. That was the way it was done we had a splendid commercial marine which could compete with that of any foreign land.

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$ , W<^,. to get blankets for three dollars in stead of paying from four to five dollars for them, to get a fine suit of broadcloth for $22 instead of paying *82 to $35 for them; and so of carpets, hard ware, crockery, and everything else. Ah! but says the protectionists exclude the foreign goods, give the entire, market to tne American manu facturers, sustain the infant estab lishments at home, and they will furn- dollars upon the people, not a cent of which finds its way into the United •States Treasury. In our next issue we will show how it is imposed apd becomes a cruel and unnecessary burden upon the people. WASTED.” Dq e^tbklM mi ——. 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.
