gage their little land, and unable to redeem IT, as
must necessarily happen in very many instances,
they are soon without land again, and much more
veSed in spirit than if they had never owned any.
"A few specuato1s and money lenders In this man
ner can soon purchase whole province, district
or State.
But suppose, with view Of preventing this un-
desirable result, the Legislature enacts home
stead law, cxempting from execution a certain
minimum of land. This will exercise no influence
upon the indolent or thriftless laborer, and make
him industrious or economical. The only certain
influence it will have is that it viii debar him from
getting any credit, just as we may suppose must
have been the case in Judel, where landed pos
sessions reverted to their original allotted owners
every seventh year, The inevitable consequence
Of course was that when ''sold" in the sixth year
they could only bring the equivalent Of one years
rent Of the land. No legal fiction can, for any
length OF time, alter the stsndard OF value; and IN
the struggle between capital and labor, capital,
always AMI everywhere, in the end carries the day.

A MORNING paper keeps standing
at the head of its columns in conspic'
uous letters the following:
Largest circulation Of any paper IN
Vest Tennessee. Largest city cfrcula'
tion."
Now, if this is true, we have no right
to say one word on the subject. But if
it is not true, it is not right that any
other paper should take from US the
credit and reap an advantage which be-
longs to the LEDGER The public, whose
advertising patronage depends much on
the circulation of newspaper, is emit.
tied to know the facts. And the paper
which pretends to the largest circulation
should be able to establish it. We pub
lish that the LEDGER has the largest cir
culation. We think it is three times as
large as that paper. So that one Of us
is mistaken. Whichever it is should
take down the horns. And we now offer
to pay over to Col. Kerr for the Fanny
Thurston fund one hundred dollars if our
whole circulation does not exceed that
paper tro to one, provided only the pub
fishers referred to will do the same if it
does-to be determined by selection of
mutual friends as judges. Thus the
truth will appear, and charitable fund
