The Chronicle and Louisville Courier
Journal for 1895.
Life-size Pictures, painted and Framed
by McCormae, offered as Pre-
miums for Clubs.

Our first proposition Is to furnish
our paper and the Louisville Weekly
Courier-J ournal to advance paying
subscribers, for 1926. This PROPOSE
ton includes old subscribers who pay
all arrearages and then in advance for
twelve months from that date,
Remember if you club with the
CHRONICLE and CoURIER-JOURNAL
prior to Jan. l, 1874, you have a chance
to draw one of the handsome premi-
ums offered by the COURIER.
By our arrangement with Mr.. Nc
Cormac, we are enabled to offer to any
one sending us ten names and twenty
dollars in money, either porcelain
picture, worth $500, or whole-sized
Rembrandt, $500.
To any one sending US forty names
and eighty dollars. we will give life
size picture-India Ink-worth s 81. 90.
For fifty names and one hundred
dollars, we will furnish life-size pic
ture, painted in colors-worth 5000.
All of the above mentioned pictures
will be framed in elegant style and
furnished complete,
This offer is open for all clubs gotten
up any time between now and the 1st
of January, 1875.
In order to get our subscription list
paid up in advance, we will give those
getting up clubs the privilege of send
ing the names of old subscribers when
such subscribers will pay all arrearages
to date, and then pay two dollars in ad-
vance.
We prefer this method of increasing
our subscription list to that of offering
a premium to every fifth, tenth, or
fiftieth subscriber, as We think each
subscriber gets the worth of his two
dollars in tifty-two numbers of the pa
per, and therefore we offer tho premi,
ums not to the subscribers, leaving it
to chance who shall get it, but to those
who ,cork for us, and thus fairly earn
the remuneration we offer.

The Nashville Exposition.

The Board of Exposition Managers

for the holding of the next Exposition.
The meeting was largely attended and
enthusiastic 1t was decided that the
Finance Committee should meet Wed.
nesday to complete their financial ar
rangements.
The first Exposition yielded sl2 0OO
the second $4,000 and the third SD

to $1,000, so that, with the expenditure
or $1,000 or $1,000 in general repairs
and its operation, it is safe to say tina,
the next Exposition, if it does not
yield over 81, 900, will at least yield
$4,000 which will pay the enterprise

Advertising In Dull Times.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin relates
the following:
After the crash of 81, when every
body was almost scared to death and
the croakers predicted that the country
had gone to smash, dry goods house
was opened in this city, which proceed
ed on the principle that, in order to
reach the boarded money in the pock
cts of the people, the proprietors must
sell at very reasonable prices, and ad-
vertise very largely. They worked
vigorously + pom this principle. Their
brother merchants who did not adver-
tise predicted that the new corners
would be ruined, as they paid too much
for advertising. Nevertheless they
persisted. In single year they paid
FIVE hundred dollars in gold to the
Daily Wisconsin for advertising, and,
at the end of seven years, they retired
from business with a fortune of one
hundred thousand dollars, while other
merchants on the same street, some of
them opposite their store, had failed.
We remember a similar instance
among our own advertisers in the panic
Of 1887 i merchant continued his
advertisement in our columns through
the whole period of stagnation, and
notwithstanding many predictions that
1T wouldn't pay" his testimony after
ward was that his sales were steady
and his profits satisfactory, while many
a merchant around him who couldn't
afford to advertise, ," saw his clerks
stand idle behind the counters.
A financial panic does not mean that
no one has any money There is plenty
of money in the country, and those
who hoard it are just the ones to be
eager for the bargains" which fall
in prices holds cut. But to buy they
m4st know whore to buy, and the mer-
chant who tells them will receive their
cash.-Ne,c York Erening Post.

A REMARKABLE manifestation of
generous, self-sacrifciDg patriotism is
the court proposition of the indepeud-
cnts, that they will cooperate with the
Conservatives, provided the latter will
unconditionaly surrender to the former.
This offer, it seems, is based upon the
bold assumption, that Mr. Johnson's
services, ifthey could be had, would be
invalua bic to the country. Did they
prove SO, when, as military Governor.
he discovered that the Penitentlary
was the proper habitatien for some of
the best men in the State? We're they
so invaluable when, as the Moses Of
the negro. he assumed the right to pro-
claim the freedom of the slave and his
equality With his former master?
Were his services so invaluable when,
~ accidental President, he assumed
;he power to strip sovereign States of
duly elected Governors aud TO supply
their places with the worst specimens
of his own war partizans ?when he dis
regarded Constitution, justice and hui
mainly In his noble efforts to make
treason DEMONSTRATING first made II
disgusting by his example as south
ern man pledged TO die in the last ditch
in defense of the South? Were they
% invaluable last year, when, after
having been recognized as the high
priest of Democracy in Tennessee, he
played the role of disOrganizer of the
Conservative Democratic party, and
second fiddle 10 the Radical party,
with Maynard as its leader? Ali who
appreciate such services as Invaluable
90 Tennessee. 10 the South, TO the Con-
-iitution and free government, do well
q brace their backs to the burden, that
he may step safely from their should
rrs 10 the Office he seeks. But whilst we
do not propose to become a round of
she ladder of his ascension. we have
no disposition TO deny to others the
glorious privilege of acting ia that Ca
pacity, If their estimate of eoIstitu-
;ioual liberty is to be measured by his
war record and acts and utterances as
President of the United States, prior
81 his partial lapse from the Radical
faith.

GAINESVILLE. 3: Nov. ss, 1873.

No MAN of ordinary patriotism can
read, without feeling of disgust, the
announcement that the government of
the United States will proceed with
great caution, in the investigation of
the Virginius case and the prisoners
who were shot by the Cuban authori-
ties, whilst that same government
looks. with complacency upon the
Mexican raids into Texas, and Radical
brutality in Arkansas and Louisiana.
The first duty of every government is
protection of, and justice to, its own
citizens; and it is not even a disguised
insult. when it assumes tender regard
for foreigners and foreign interests,
when at the same time, it suffers the
rights and privileges of its own people
10 be trampled under foot by officials
Of its own appointment. The crew Of
the Virginius, if not pirates, in the le-
gal definition of the term, at least &C
ted in violation of international law
yet their case is the subject of Cabinet
councils, whilst the bleeding victims Of
domestic tyranny. guilty of no acts de-
rogatory to the peace and dignity Of
the government of the United States, u
are looked upon as righteous sacrifices
10 the unappeased vengeance of Radi-
calism. Truly, it is better to be an AT.
rican, a Chinese or a Cuban, than to be
a citizen of the United States, in any
State south of the Ohio, unless that
citizens be tsrred with the Radical
stick. And we are asked to glorify
this as "the land of the free and the
home of the brave that is, free ne
erocs and brave thieves.

Ii SEEMS that Tom Scott, the Rail-
road king, will be forced to abdi-
cate in favor of some new adventurer
into the field of speculative monoplies.
His misfortune, however, will prove
blessing to the country, provided it
opens the eyes of the people to the
dangers of centralized capital and pow
er in the hands of few unprincipled
spectators in the prosperity of the
masses, and teaches them tounderstand
the intimate relations between govern
ment and healthy commercial activi-
ty. The farmers are beginning TO ap-
preciate this relationship, and to realize
the Importance, to their interests. of
an honest and wise government. In
striking at Railroad monopoly, howev-
er, they have clearly mistaken an effect
for the first cause-failing to see that
the monopolies and rings, whose cor
rupt management have brought such
disasters upon the leading interests of
the country and the legitimate offspring
of a grossly corrupt government. adj
ministered1n the interest of capital
and against labor, in all Its industrial
vocations To get rid of the effect,
the cause must be uprooted, and moth
ing can be more idle, than an attempt
to correct governmental abuses, by di-
reeting our efforts, primarily and MAIN
", at those abuses alone, which can
only be reached by purifying the fount-
ain head.
When we argued, months ago, that
the mania for Railroads, in advance of
population and business, would prove
curse, rather than blessing, we were
denounced as an old fogy and far be-
hind the progressive age. Had one
fourth the capital so expended,
been used in opening up TO the gulf,
the rivers flowing thereto, We should
have heard less cry about cheap trans
portation; and the commerce of the
valley of the Mississippi would have
been following its natural channel in
stead of being forced, half across the
Continent, to great money certers there
to be manipulated by spectators for
their own profit, and to the very serious
detriment Of the producing class. This
is the sort ofprogress that is born of un-
scrupulous speculation and fostered
by corrupt government which has
lsvished the peoples money, in
Strengthening its own power through
the agency Of the corrupt eombina-
tons. Had the South built manufac-
tories. with half the capital expended
upon Railroads, and run those facto-
ries with the most competent skill to
I be found in Europe, its commercial
independence might have been built up
on a sure foundation, and its business
and population have justified the build
ing of roads as fast as the necessity for
them was developed by the demands Of
trade. But this idea was incompatible
with the progressive spirit of the age
and the result is a commercial smash
up and cheek to bodybuilding which
will leave little to regret, provided il
infuses into enterprise little more
prudence and foresight, and teaches
the people the Importance of studying
their own best interests which are al
centered in the simple phase-an hon,
est and efficient government.

The proposition of Hon. r. VI. I.
Hunter, that the government aid the
South with loan of 500, 600, 900, is
giving rise to some discussion, but I'M
less the time has arrived for the tenn
perate consideration of such ques-
ton, its only effect will be to raise the
cry Of Rebel Kuklux and thus fur
nisb the capital upon which Radical
ism has successfully traded ever since
the war. When the storm of northern
hate shall have subsidized, and the reign
Of corrupt fauaticism shall have given
place to official and popular integrity,
it will require no argument to prove
the Justice of the claim of the South
TO compensation for the property un
constitutioually destroyed, by a lawless
invasion of its political rights and
privileges. tits the fear of meeting this
very issue, that has prompted the Rad
ical leaders to the exercise of usurped
power, hoping by such means so to
cover their villainy and abstract the
course of justice as to prevent inquiry
and consequent condemnation of their
lawless administration during and
since the war, nominally for the pre-
servation of the Union, but in reality
for the abolition of slavery and to de-
stroy the prosperity and influence of
the hated South. 1t was for this that
the Constitution has been fraudulently
changed, and laws enacted that are sub
versive of the form of the government.
Itwas for this purpose that negroes were
made citizens, that States we're degrad-
ed into provinces, that carpet baggers
were sent South, TO rob its people and
burden them with illegally created
debts and TO offer a premium TO all
who could be bribed 10 hetray the sec
ton that ought to have been cherished
aud defended by those traitors. Amid
the licence thus authorized by high of
hcials, sprang up the rings and monop-
oiies that have depleted the Treasury
and Heeced the people, and taught, by
example, that stealingis no crime and
fraud, no ground for the impeachment
of official integrity or private charac-
ter. Until this state of things is re-
versed, it is idle TO demand justice, or
10 present claims which no argument
can iuvalidate. This is an era ofcrime
and wrong and popular phrenzy, and
until it is succeeded by an age ofreason,
corruption will continue to revel in
the halls of justice and afix its foul
seal to official acts. An honest gov
eminent will make an honest people,
and honest people will have none but
an honest government.
