Now, here you see that the Indiana
farmers grain costs him 100 cents less to
get it from Nt. Vernon TO Macon, than it
does the Jackson county farmer to get his
from GainesbOro TO the same point; there
fore, the Jackson county farmer must sell
bis grain for cents per buShel less than
that Of the Indiana farmer.
DO EOJ think that it is necessary to
make further comparison. The principle,
as before stated, holds good all through the
Green Line, though, TO a somewhat mod
flied extent in some instances. 1t is TO be
hoped that we shall hear no more about
"no Determinations.
In conclusion, L Leave to an intelligent
and deeply interested public and the Legs
lature the decision upon the facts. Let
them say whether ''OUE people, are not
sinterested7 in policy Of through freight
ING that dep-eciates the valHe Of their grain
and grain products, taking corn, wheat,
oats, -four, bacon, live stock, etc, for Mid
die Tennessee alone, from, say 100000 to
100000 per annUm. Is it for such policy
as this that our people understood they
were voting when they fastened upon
themselves a system Of taxation and in
debtedness under which they are now
ground to the earth, and under which those
following will grOan for fifty years to come?
