HARD TIMES AGAIN.

i gentleman who has for long time
been engaged in business in Knoxville,
and who had read our editorial of We'd
nesday, entitled Hard Times" called
upon us and suggested that we might make
the case stronger by going more into de-
tail. He went on to speak of what he has
been selling to the people of Knoxville
this winter, that he had purchased North,
which ought to be produced right here in
our midst. He mentioned hominy, white
beans, pickles, potatoes, sour krout, canned
fruits, &C., for which we annually send
away thousands of dollars, and all Of which
could be produced at home. Take the first
article mentioned above. We send our
corn away and receive for it from fifty to
seventy cents per bushel, while we are
paying out to other communities double
that amount for corn in the shape Of
hominy. We pay twenty dollars per bar
rel for pickles, when we might raise our
own equal to those of any other country.
So it is with beans. We might raise all
we want and to spare, making them a
valuable crop, but we do not plant them.
So it is of all the articles mentioned, and
many more. Is it any wonder that We
have "hard times {" as the result of so
foolish policy? 1t is remarkable that q
people SO highly blessed by nature, who
make any pretensions to sanity, would be
guilty of thus defying SO important law
in political economy. We are in situa-
ton to be the most independent people in
the country, combining the facilities for
and advantages of an agricultural and at
the same time manufacturing commu-
nifty, and yet we move as if we were blind
and did not care to see. We are ignoring
our advantages and trusting to luck. How
long will we continue in such state?

THE TRUTH WILL CONE.


When Colonel Baxter published his
charges of fraud concerning the public
printing, against the Nashville Union and
american and Banner, it was denounced
as " Radical move" because the expos
ure was made through the CHRONICLE.
Relying upon party spirit to acquit them,
the accused demanded Of the Legislature
an investigation. Testimony was heard
and the material charges sustained to the
satisfaction of every fair-minded man in
the State. But the Legislature white
washed the papers as was expected. We
pronounced it at the time whitewashing
affair, but coming from Radical pap
or, the unwashed would not, of course, be-
lieve it.
Recently the Nashville Union and
American, embarrassed by being deprive d
of its extortionate and swindling charges
for public printing, cut from its exchange
list the country weeklies. The latter, ex-
asperated OF such treatment, are talking
out in meeting" The Lebanon Herald
thus ventilates the Union and American.
(The Italics are our own:)
Bupposo that the country press, during the re-
Centsession of the Legislature, had not allowed
regard for the honor Of their OtUn party, and
what they now know to have been unappreciat-
ed generosity, to induce them to suppress many
facts, but had taken the liberty to print lohGt
then k,letO to be tTue-WOuld EChitetCdSh haze
bceH quite as efcctIal think your Suppose,
finally, that the country press, which this great
metropolitan newspaper regards as not worthy
an exchange, should conclude now to tell tuhdt
Il k1o,Cs about special legislation and the like,
do YOU imagine that the odor in which the
Peoples Own Paper would be held by tho peo-
ple themselves would be altogether as savory as
the proprietors of the Peoples desire?
If the CHRONICLE Ihad intimated these
things it would have been radical lie, "
but as it comes from an orthodox journal,
and has been approvingly republished in
the Sweetwater Enterprise and other SINH
lar papers, supposed to be informed, there
is no longer room for doubt that Baxter'a
charges were true, and that in reporting
to the contrary, the Assembly "white-
washed +" the papers accused. This is an
honest confession from democratic papers
worth noting. The Herald closed its ar
ticle with this recommendation to its
weekly contemporaries +" To resolve that
hereafter they will print the full truth
about all matters which concern the peo'
pie, whether it hurt political friend OF
foe." We hope this noble resolve will be
adhered to, no matter what the motive:
are that prompted it. If so, the people
will soon hear enough of Tennessee De
mocracy to insure its speedy overthrow.

TENNESSEE Democracy is as intolerant,
proscriptive and mean as it can be. There
never was day, even when the passions
engendered by the war were at fever heat,
when there was narrower or bittererpoli-
ticalfeeling in Middle and West Tennes-
seethan to-day. AS our readers WelIknoW,
Judge Thos. A. r. Nelson recently felt
called upon to venture the opinion that
Democracy had past the period of its use
fulness and ought to be disbanded. The
public proclamation organ of this city first
assailed him for it, but knowing the high
estimation in which the people of East
Tennessee held him, it was forced to be
moderate. The Union and american of
Nashville-better known as the swindling
sheet that for time bled the public treas
ury in the public printing contracts-as-
sailed the Judge in most malicious and
mean manner. Now, the Brownsville
Bee takes up the war ery.-We give it only
to show the Conservative Union men of
East Tennessee how such men as Nelson,
Sewer and Baxter are handled when they
dare to assert their manhood or reprove
the intolerant spirit now predominating
in the Democratic party. The Bee says:
Nelson is vain and empty wreck. We be-
lieve he is credited with honesty, but no man
respects his craftsmanship. He is senile and
weak. BE ID q phantom, a ghost of the dead
past but he is restless and unquiet, and does
not conduct himself as first class ghost should.
He is sntideluvian, having been fairly and
squarely buried before the food, and yet he de-
sires to break the bonds of his CHASTITY prison
house and startle the living with frst-class
sensation

Narrow Gauge Railroads.

The first railroads were build for horses
The Gauge of Stsphenson's first road
was taken from that of ordinary freigh-
ting road wagons, 4 feet 81 inches
so that two horses could travel between
the rails. Other gauges 5 feet 81 feet,
6 feet and 7 feet have been tried but
experience has proven that while the
increase of width of gauge added great
" to both the cost Of construction and
the annual running expenses of the
road it added nothing to the capacity
of road to do business. Having
tried the broad gauges, the question
of economy has induced railroad men
to commence a series expelimentswith
the narrow gauges to demonstrate how
far the width of gauge may be reduced
without imparing the capacity of a
railroad and at what point can the
greatest amount of business be done
with the least expense. A road has
been constructed in Wales having a
width of only 231 inches between the
rails. It is one of the most successful
roads in the country both for salty
and capacity. Passenger trains are
run upon it at the rate of thirty miles
an hour and freight trains Of thous-
aad feet in length, at twenty miles an
hour. And its business capacity is
said to be equal to that Of any road in
existance. These narrow gauge roads
can be run for full 20 per cent. less
of the gross earnings than the broad
gauge roads. The colonial govern
ments of India and Australia have
adopted the narrow gauge for their flu
ture railroad systems. The road now
being constructed from Denver south
ward along the base of the Rocky
Mountains, toward the gulf of Cali
fornia, seventy. FIVE miles of which is
now completed and running, is of this
class and is said TO have fully met the
expeditions of those who projected the
building of the road. IF the question
of capacity and expense is settled in
favor of the narrow gauge, as it seems
to be, we may conclude that this class
will be the roads of the future be-
cause expense, cheap transportation and
cheap communication, is one of the
most important questions with the So
cial and political economist has to
deal.

The Modern Juryman'

The trial of a grand jury BY a little
jury, which has been going on IN this
city for three weeks, is we'll fitted to
destroy public confidence in the ad-
ministration of justice. The example
itselfwas demoralizing, and the license
allowed to counsel by Judge Cordozo,
shocks a layman's ideas of propriety
altogether. Take this scene as spec
imen,--
Mr.. McKeon said that the present
proceedings was meant to unrcof the
corruptions of the City Hall. Stokes
was as innocent as man could be Of
this charge.
An incredulous laugh and ooh oh y
burst forth from nearly all present, and
Stokes seemed visably affected.
Mr.. Mckeon turned to the audience
and called it mob, and asked, in an
excited manner, what they knew of the
facts in the case.
judge Cardozo said that the court
room would be cleared, if any further
demonstration was made.
Mr.. Mckeon continued-If Fisk had
shot Stokes, Fisk would have been
bailed in an hour, and that would have
been the end of it.
Mr.. Graham-Why no; he would
not have been arrested at all.
Mr.. McLeon-That's so. He ruled
every process Of law, and no ore dared
attempt to harm him before the courts,
knowing that it would be useless.
Perhaps there is no law to restrain
such comments as these by lawyers,
when the case is not before them, but
there is some discretion permitted to
Judges. to restrain the impertinence of
counsel, when their sense of propriety
fails.
A still greater farce was that of Sc
lecting jury to try. Mayor Hall. Il
would seem that in the judgement OF
those engaged, a competent juryman
must have heard or, read nothing on
the subject, must have no opinion on
the political questions of the day, and
that he should have taken his degree as
an ignoramus at the college Of ounces
At this rate our courts will soon bt
merely debating societies, and justice
will be deaf as we'll as blind.-Neu
