.. .0111 Ab cion and Au .lelalties free At or a Law. .t bill has been introdet ,.slature to repeal the lien .bill ham been int,roduced at sion sinc0 1876. At one so.i ion . passed but was not to take eifet . about twelve months after it,s pa iage. l the mean time the) Legislature reai. wblod again and ro-enacted the law be ro the ropealing act had ti.no to go into offeet. Ever since that tine those flvor ing the repeal of the law have been in the minority in that body, though we he lieve a very largo majority of the peoplte are opposed to the law. It has lho,i 1 since nerved it-i purrtse, if it ever 1-ad e oi, and should be wiped out from our statute books. It wav enacted iniluedi atoly after the war for the purpose of en abling our farmers to procure supplies with w:oh to make a crop. They were broken up by the results of the w,ar, and had nothing upon whioh to base a rodit. In this extremity the Legi-dature cane to their relief and enacted the lien law. Then the sharpers who had money or credit at the North oommmnced preyinag upon the misfortunes of the poor farm dr. They oharged from one to three hun dred per cent profit and many of thom made haudsomo fortunes. The condition of any of our farmers hlave improve1 despite the lion law, but mlany of them have had their nosos held to the grind stono of extortion by its operation over since, and are to day, overwlehnod with debt and diumboartoned. It la i 1con a curse to our State. We hlopo the p)rese:t Legillature will have the~ good ne; to reapeal thle law and then pass an act, if they (can1 (i->nti intionaklly do so, prohibiating the mnr 'gaging of the crop, or things that are not at thiq timoi inl existOne-.
