THE PRICE OF OUR PAPER.

Some of our friends may think the price
of our paper too high, compared with the
price of other Knoxville papers. We have
started this as permanent enterprise. To
render it so, We must make the CHRoNI-
GLE selfsustaining. There are very few
papers in the United States, of respectable
size, published at lower rates than ours.
We are not possessed of means sufficient to
publish paper without pay, just for the
accommodation of the public. We have
not started out for the purpose of breaking
down any other journal by publishing our
paper at lower rate than they can afford
to do. We propose TO stand upon our own
merits, and to act upon the old principle
of "live and let live We do not believe
hat our Republican friends desire us to
l,.sl n paper furnishing them with the
news, at a pecuniary sacrifice to ourselves.
We expect to be sustained, no matter what
Democratic publishers may charge for their
ISSUES. We expect circulation without
making it gratuity. We appeal to our
friends to sustain us, and assure them that
we will make paper worth the money
charged for it.

implements into which these metals enter,
requires skilled labor and capital. The
Old World with its paupers and the accu-
INFLATED wealth of ages, is our competitor
in this great work, To contend success
fully and probably with such rival, our
mechanics and capital need protection and
encouragement We believe it to be to the
interest of every citizen Of, this division Of
Tennessee that we should demand of Con-
gress a fair and just protective tariff, and
the CHRONICLE win advocate that meas
ure. With such assistance, East Tennessee
will soon become the nursery of great in
dustrial enterprises, and our cities and peo-
pie rapidly grow i'm numbers and wealth.
As an encouragement to the Agricultu-
raj interests of East Tennessee, we will set
apart a portion of our paper and give espe-
cial attention to collecting the latest and
most Interesting facts on all subjects .rela-
ting to the farming class.
We do not deem it necessary in this con-
nection to enter any more infinitely into
an explanation of the different departments
we shall make of the CHRONICLE, but will
only say that, in every respect, we will en-
deavor to make il a paper worthy of the
support and confidence of our friends. We
are persuaded that in establishing this pa
per we supply a want long felt and greatly
needed, and we feel that at the very begin.
ming we have the hearty sympathy and
good will Of many friends.
To every friend of the Republican party,
of free schools, of American industry and
of a liberal, high-toned Journal we look fol
encouragement, hoping by our diligence
and enterprise to commend the CHRoNI,

THE ELECTION.


We are glad to be able to make the first
number of the CHRONICLE the bearer of
glad tidings to the Republicans of Knox
county, We print elsewhere the returns
of last Saturdays election, full and COM
plete. From it our friends will see that we
have won decided victory Just at this
time, we feel that this triumph is very sig
| nificant. Owing to an unnecessary and
unfortunate division in our ranks last Au-
gust, the Democratic party won decided
victory. Since that time they have per-
sistently endeavored, by misrepresentation,
to break down and discourage our organi-
cation. They were confident that they
had succeeded, and felt certain of an easy
victory. We entered the contest under
very great disadvantages. We had no
party organ to counteract the insidious,
persistent, plausible inventions of the OPP
position press; the opposition had the
prestige of their late victory to influence
the floating vote; we had no organization,
no united, working force in the districts Of
the county. We had, however, our firm
| convictions of right, and candidates who
were all competent and honest men, and
with these alone we overcame all difficult
| ties and marched straight through to vic
tory. 1t conyinces us that Knox county is
surely and reliably Republican upon every
fair issue by good working majority, and
that all we need do 10 retain this supre-
macy is TO advocate firm, liberal, republic
can principles. If we give our friends a
broad, enlightened platform upon which

We do not hatter ourselves that we can
do very much towards inducing Congress
to relieve the people in part from the bur-
den of taxation now resting upon them.
We know, we think, the sentiments Of the
people of this part of the South, and we
believe that while they have cheerfully
sacrificed very much for their Government,
and while they are willing to sacrifice
more, they yet feel that Congress should
do something towards lifting from their
shoulders portion, at least, Of the heavy
burdens entailed by the. war. 1t is within
the power of Congress to do this, and we
know that it is the wish Of the people that
it should be done. The best Of citizens are
weary of this tax which they feel constant
ly bearing upon them, and very justly con-
clude that this generation need not bear
alone all the burdens of the war. Areduc-
ton of $50, 0O0, 900 could be made without
in any way impairing the credit of the
Government or embarrassing it in the dis
charge of its obligations. 1t might possibly
Interfere somewhat with the theories of
some of our officers of Government, but we
do not know that this would be at all OBJ
jectionable.
We believe such reduction would give
universal satisfaction to the taxpayers,
and do much towards relieving many hon
est men from embarrassment. we hope
Congress will give heed to the wishes of
the people, and with President Grant show
that they have no policy to enforce against

Many farmers who have hitherto had
an abundant supply Of winter fodder, will
this season be compelled to resort to un.
usual means to carry their stock through.
Some win perhaps seek relief by reduc
ing the stock to the amount Of their
feed; but nothing but extreme necessity
should induce any one to resort to this
course; for at such times, small prices are
realized from forced sales; when the pinch

hard times, will be regarded by those who

to keep 1t on short allowance. A more
