Rates of Freight.

We frequently hear complaints about the
high rates of freight between Tennessee aud
Savannah. We know that they are as low as
they can be, and remunerate the companies
employed in transporting. and the Southern
Knoxville, Tenn.) Citizen, in an article upon
the rates between that place aud Richmond,
says "that merchants in East Tennessee. do
ing business upon the line of the East Ten
nessee and Virginia Railroad, sirty miles Est
of KnorrILe, and within three hundred and
ninety miles of Richmond, now find that it is
their interest to have goods, purchased by
them in New York, shipped to Savannah, and
thence delivered to them over fire hundred
and eighty males of railroad, rather than have
the same goods shipped to Richmond and
thence transported to Lynchburg, by Canal,
and from thence to East Tennessee. by t,co
hundred and seue'ay.fUe mules Of raiilcay TO Sa-
vannah, and thence 10y shipping TO Richmond
for less than he can have it transported direct
over four hundred and fifty miles of railroad.
and that the same dealer may load the vessel
with coffee imported into Richmond, bring it
to Savannah and thence by the fire hundred
mules Of railroad deliver it in Knoxville for !
cent per pound less than he can have it conveyed
to Lynchburg by canal and thence to Knox

| repeat the question. why is it that this
war upon the banks and n paper currency u
renewed ut this time, when no Just exptcta-
ton can be INDUCED that either the one or
the other can be put down. or brought under
the control of the Federal Government
answer that this clamor against banks, bank
credits, aud paper money is renewed now for
the same or similar reasons which operat, d in
1887, when il was first heard. The clamor
was then raised To save the party then in pos
session of the Government from the just re-
sponsibility incurred by tampenng with the
banks aud the direct encoura - mcnt given to
their creation by the States. aud 10 over
issues, which had resulted so disastrously To
the country. The dishonesty and bad
management of the banks were then denouEc-
ed as the sole cause OF the revalsion of that
time, just as they are now Yet they had in
creased their issues under the express
recommendation of the Government.
A fierce war upon the banks at this time
may be accounted tor in part by the explosion
OF the deusion by which the people have for
a long time been misled as TO the efficacy OF
the Subtreasury invention. IL is now mani
fest that il can neither regulate the currency
nor prevent oyertrading; but what Is most
vexaiious 10 the Inventors Is, that while IL
secures 10 the government n metallic currency
for its own support, 80 far a the receipts
from customs aud other sources of revenue
extend, the important discovery Is made that
when, irum the false policy OF the Govern
ment In its commercial regulations, or from
any other cause, the trade of the country Is
FRUSTRATED, no money Of any kind goes into
the Snbtrrasary. and the Government L.

of gold is held by the banks VI some four or
five Of oue large commercial eities alone; yet
the Subtreasury continues empty, and can
only be.relievsd by the use Of Government

which has prompted this renewed attack upon
the banks. whether it be patriotic aud
