We noticed yesterday in market very fine
lot of native fruit trees. Some specimens were
climatzed Northern varieties. Our people are
learning that it is better to raise their fruit trees
at home. There is no reason why we should
send fifty or sixty thousand dollars to the North
every year from East Tennessee for fruit trees
alone. But on the other hand there are many
reasons why we should not do So 1t is an un-
necessary drain upon our money; the trees are
much higher priced purchasers are often uncer-
tain as to what they get, and many excellent
varieties are unclmatized and prove worthless.
We have known farmers TO spend large sums
for Northern fruit and derive little or no profit
therefrom. Of course there are exceptionable
cases. The nursery business should be made to
pay well in East Tennessee and ought to be
carried on more extensively than it is at pres
ent. This is fruit growing country, and no
farmer should be without a good orchard.
Thousands of bushels would find ready sale in
the .Southern States every year. Again we
import large quantities of canned fruit from
Baltimore and other points East This
should not be when we can raise fruit at home
If it pays to ship it that distance. it ought to
pay well to produce it here. Let it be done.

Gnea~tain1y OF the Law.

HONEST TAXATION.

A late number of the Memphis appeal
tries to ridicule the Republican members
of the Legislature for being in favor OF
what it terms thigh taxesn and because
they "sustain Gov. Browns high-taX mes
sage.u It sneers at Senator Gibson, which
he can no doubt survive, and congratulates
Gov. Brown on the fact that the Nashville
Tribune and the Knoxville CHRONICLE
sustain his policy. So far as the charge OF
sustaining Gov, Browns policy relates to
us, we plead guilty, that is when we be
lieve his policy is right. We took occa-
sion to speak of his inaugural address in
pretty severe terms, because we opposed
the partisan spirit which marked its utter
ance. But when his message came out,
setting forth the only financial policy,
in our opinion, that honest men
could pursue. we approved it. So
far as it relates to the protection
of our public honor and public credit, it
will be approved by honest men of all par
ties, We detest the man who is so strong
lily partisan that he cannot give credit to
the virtues of political opponent.
The charge that Republicans i'll the
Legislature or out of the Legislature are in
favor of hi1h taxes is untrue. But Repub-
licans everywhere are in favor of honest
togdtion. They are willing to pay just
such rate of taxes as will serve to Keep
up the credit of the State and no more.
They believe reputation, or anything
leading to it, the very worst species of
dishonesty, and they are unwilling to see
the State take upon itself the responsibility
of an act, which il cOnsummated, will rem
der the name of Tennessee, a hiss and a
by-word among honest men for century
to come.
Republicans are just like other men.
They would be pleased with low taxes.
They would reap the same benefit from
low taxes that Democrats would, but we
have not met a single Republican who is
willing to see taxes put down at a rate that
would impair the credit of the State, and
we have conversed with a great many OH
that subject ts. --#r - sf#...
But this question of taxation is not
partisan one. Democrats and Republicans
alike are interested in its results. If dis
honor and disgrace is incurred, all must
suffer, and he who thinks the masses of
the tax payers are deaf to this fact, is very
much mistaken. For the honest masses of
East Tennessee, we undertake to say they
understand this question, and that they
stand ready to discharge their whole duty,
whether the burden be heavy or light.
They desire it to be as light as possible,
but prefer to avoid the disgrace of repudia
ton at all hazards.
What we want is an honest, economical
of the State government.
Avoid the foolish and extravaganza use of
public funds. Let the Legislature do its
business and adjourn. Then let the taxes
be faithfully collected and honestly APP
piled to their intended use. This, Gov.
Brown and his subordinateS are response
BILE for. 1t is the duty of the people to
furnish the means for running the Gov
and meeting its just obligations,
and they 80 regarded.

The Standard dominates George Jones

The Standard dominates George Jones
of the New York Times, for Mayor of that
city. New York would do well to elect Mr..
Jones to that honorable position, and it
would be proper recognition of the ser
vices of the Times in bringing about the
exposure of the thieves and robbers of that
city, which has led to their signalover-
to cease their whitening exposure. Then
they threatened them, but with no better
success. Then they turned loose their "dogs
of war" in the shape of a servile Demo
| cratic press, but all to no purpose. Perse-
verence brought about the desired result,
! and the whole world beholds the ring as a
set of exposed villains. We say in view OF
all this, it would only be fitting recogni-
| ton of Mr.. Jones' services, and the SER
vices of his journal, to elect him Mayor OF
| the city.

The whole country rejoices at the over
throw of the thieves and robbers who
have controlled New York for several
years past. They are the men who raised
the mob to resist the United States au-
thorities during war. They are the men
who carried the State for Democracy
by the use of unparalleled frauds. They
are the men who stole the peoples money
and then used it to subject the people to
their power. Now the people everywhere
rejoice at their overthrow.

Two sovereigns of Lexington, Ky,
were INDUCING in little game of draw
poker in stable, the other day, when
one of them became exasperated at the
suspected perfidy of the other, and varied
the exercises by playing shovel on his
fellow cardst's head. After having his
skull cracked and his brains laid bare, the
stricken gamester threw up his hand and
passed in his checks. The sexton then
played full of spades on him, and he
now awaits the last trump in the cold cold

TO PRINT. OR. NOT TO PRINT.
Dedicated 10 Jones. Purvis a Co. and che
Democratic Party.


To print, or not print, that is the question:
Whether It's better for the Printers to suffer
The stings and arrows of outrageous gibson
Or to take types against his sea of troubles;
And by printing end them The lie, the truth, -
No more2 and, by Tic to say we end
The hoart-ache, and the thousand Radical
shocks
Our Firm Is heir tots q contamination
Devoutly to be aoiShed The lie, the truth
To print pcrchance the truth aye there's the
rub
Jor if we print the ,chole, the truth 'ciH come !
And fear that the ,ooya may know the truth
Must give us pause Theres the respect
That makes calamity to print the 1chole.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of
RAIDS,
The Minority Report BANTEB's contumely,
The pangs of conscience, the laws rebuke
The insolcnce of FREEMAN, and the spurns
j., p & Co. for their unworthiness take
When he himself might his q,tietus make
By refusing to print? Who would longer bear
To grunt and sweat under the Minority Report,
But that the dread of something after printing,
That Pcaitentiary House from whose bourne
No criminal returns, puzzles our will
And makes us think it better not to print
Than by printing let the truth be knolrn.
Thus conscience does make col0ardS of US all
And thus the native hue of Public Printing
Is darkeded with the slime of many frauds.
With this regard our judgment is made up;
And print we will aot.-Soft you, now!
The fair Democracy! Nymph, in thy prisons
Be all my sins forgotten!

That when the Elder shepherd of the fold
Came, covered with the storm, and pale and
cold,
And begged for one of my sweet lambs to hold,

He claimed the pet
a little fondling thing that to my breast
Chung always either in quiet or unrest

And yet-and yet

For some voice told me that, in after years,

That Elder Shepherd came. Ny heart grew
He claimed another lamb with sadder plant.

And Clasped her TO my bosom with wild
And yearning love-my lam b, my pleasant child.

And slept
Go! go!" I cried
For once again that Shepherd laid his hand
Upon the uoblest of our household band.
