PROSPECTUS FOR 1875
Daily and Weekly
Chronicle.

1t il the determination of the Pub
fishers of the CHRONICLE 10 make II
during the year 1876. one Of the very
bee' newspapers in the South. They
will spare neither labor nor means to
make 1t first class journal, worthy of
the highest esteem of It's patrons. 1t
will be an " OFF Year" In politics, and
not being engaged in an active poiiti-
cal campaign, we will have more time
and space to devote to matters of sub
stantisl interest.
As In the past, we will make il
point to assist, with all our power, in
the Development Of the material resour-
ces of our State. If emigrants seeking
homes in the Sunny South, or capital
lists In search of profitable fields of
investment remain ignorant of our
delightful climate and rich deposits of
coal, iron, marble, &C., or our produc-
tive soil, 1t shall be no fault of ours.
The CHRONICLES will contain Gym
opeis Of the proceedings OF Congress-
during the winter.
In short, we propose to give our
readers the earliest and most impor-
tant news from all parts of the world,
our aim being to make the CHoNIOLE
emphatically NEWSPAPER.
POSTAGE.
On both editions of the CHRoNy-
Gle is being prepaid at Knoxville.
Although this will entail considera-
BILE item of expense upon US, we have
determined to make no addition to
our subscription price. This amounts
really to a reduction to each subscri-
Der over the prices they have been
paying US, of sixty cents year on the
daily and twenty cents year on the

Facts for Consideration.

Double the number of paper dollars, and
each will represent about half as much of that
power, or forty-five cents We have deposits
with purchasing power of S1,SOO, ,0O0, 900 in
gold. Increase the issue of legal tenders, so
thrt each shall mean forty five cents, and you
destroy for those who have earned and saved
it purchasing power of $500. 100000. These
who have borrowed can discharge the debt by
passing only halfzhat they owe. The ST.
400, ,000,0 900 of paper will then have no more
purchasing power than the 500, 900, 900 has
now, and will go no further in the support of
labor. But those who have eaanings saved,
you have robbed of $500, 900 in gold
enough to pay more than half the bonded
debt of the nation; enough to buy all the
farms in Ohio; enough to pay to all the hands
employed in iron manufacture in the United
States full wages for twelve years.

Bread for Great Britain.

The extended retnrns of the wheat crop of
the British Isles, published in the London
Times of last Saturday, form budget of good
news for American farmers. In 1860, when
the population of Great Britain and Ireland
was 5000, 900 less than it is now, the number
of acres devoted to the cultivation of wheat
was half million IN excess of the present
figures. The United Kingdom will need to
import more wheat this year than it did last
by considerable. for while the population has
slightly increased, the wheat crop has fallen
off IA per cent in Ireland and nearly 8 per
cent in the whole Kingdom. Mr.. James
Card, recognized authority on the crop sup
ply subject, states that Ss,OOO,OO0 bushels of
wheat will have to be imported in order to
feed the nation during the coming winter and
spring. The great bulk of this will be drawn
from our Western grain fields, for the violent
weather has destroyed much of the export
able surplus of competing grain growers in
Europe.

THE report of Senator Bayard's
speech in Baltimore, from which we
quoted in yesterdays paper, did not
contain the true inwardness oft. Here,
taken from a full report, is something
that be did say:
"Our fathers intended that money in
the pocket should be money every.
where. Applause When the COM
mercial world touches the currency it
willis like the leaves of autumn. The
currency the country deals with de-
pends wholly on credit. If the people
could understand that the price of
their products is fixed in Europe in
gold, and that they are paid in paper,
they would vote to remove the curse,
delusiOn and snare. The necessity of
its abolition is plain. The people want
ed hard money for hard labor, the val
ue of which can be regulated. The in
hationists opposed having their rail-
road stocks and values based upon cred
its contracted in value by return to
gold. No increase of volnme will make
up the quality; capital is startled by
the propositions to initiate, and foreign
>dPitai SCciSCo " l1Om W Jul
Shores"
Further along Senator Bayard
"Begged the laboring man, as he valu-
ed his own interests, not to aid the CAP
italist in increasing his inflated wealth
by voting to increase the volume of
paper money. Initiation would event
ually bring curse upon the country,
before which former panics were moth
ing. The day was a sad one when
Congress, by single vote, decided that
paper money could pay debts. The
present Administration has intensified
the evils entailed by departure from
standard of coin. The South had
suffered, he said, for want of capital
and a bad currency, and by the admin
istration which had made life and
property insecure in those States"
Now that is good and strong, and to
point.

Does Business Require More
Currency?

''Our currency no longer suffices for our
needs" we are told, because business has in
creased so largely. Do you need forty bushel
baskets to measure forty bushels? Multipli-
cation of the measure of paying power is
waste as well as robbery. But the question
has been settled by trial. For months the
country has had opportunity to use all the
currency it wanted, and instead of taking
more, has surrendered nearly eighteen millions,
in use last January. Over thirty millions were
held as reserve against circulation. More
than year ago we unlocked" the vaults by
law, to let it flow out, but behold still more
flows into the bank, and they now hold, not
$50, 900, 900, but $45, 100000, beyond the re-
serve required. Seven months ago the free
banking act gave ''the wants of trade" full
freedom to take more money, as much as they
pleased, and where they pleased. But be-
hold at the end of July only $9,056, 115 had
been taken out by the banks, while $27 $780,
4l5 had been taken out by the banks, while
S27, ,3S9, 967 had been surrendered by the
banks The ''wants of trade" thrust cur
rency back into the Treasury by millions, be-
cause it is not wanted and cannot be used.

War.RecOrd of Allen.

The war Of the rebellion is not so
long past that the people have forgot
ten it. Neither have they yet lost
their respect for the gallant soldier, nor
contempt for the copperhead who aid
ed the cause of JEFF. Davis by finding
fault and denouncing Abraham Lin
coin. In the late npleasantness," :"
both Governor VIM. Allen, and Ex-
Governor R. B. Hayes made for them
selves records. Allen, only once, how
ever, came out Of his hole, long enough
to spit out venom at the loyal govern
ment at the North, and the colored
soldier, and Emancipation Proclana-
tion.
On the 10th of September, 1863, Gov.
Allen, at Hamilton, Butler county,
made the following, and-only,
WAR-RECoRD.
Lincoln has shed enough blood to
float the Great Eastern, and how much
nearer the end does he get. His cry is
still for blood. The Administration
stands on tip-toe every day, with its
eyes distended, and its arms stretched
forth calling on the American people
for more blood and more money. And
their preachers-those Chicago priests
that went to Detroit to get Lincoln to
bite the forbidden fruit, to commit the
first act, the initial sin, by the p,t6Jicd-
ton Of an act enaar1cipdti'ag the StdUeS,-
these priests. would not like to have
met these fellows; they went down
canting and whining their mouths all
the way watering for the blood of the
people. Every one of them thought
that God had made it his special busi-
ness to go and beg Lincoln to commence
the business Of numbering the Ameri-
can people.
'One OF two things must happen. If
these Abolitionists succeed, they can
only do so by destroying the State Gov
ernments of the South, and thereby
destroy, in fact. the whole State Gov
ernm6nts of the North they can only
succeed by establishing a despotism,
garrisoning the whole South, seven or
eight hundred thousand strong, the
cost, nay, the interest of which would
take the best farms from under your
feet. And this would not be the great
est evil should they succeed. Here are
four millions OF negroes they have
hitherto been kept on that side of the
line merely because they could not
come this side of it. II the abolition
party succeeds, all we have to do will
be 10 make our preparations TO go
where breadstuffs are cheap, and 90 to
the region toward which tho negro
gravitates. These negroes will come
fiocking over our river by the hundred
thousand. Now, what do you want of
them? They will occupy the place

that these negroes should get IA chance of

to push off the h'isliD,dn and D,tcIinaa1,,
not because they are altogether angry
with those people for voting tho Dem
ocratic ticket, though that is a great
reason; but will tell you my friends,
if this abolition party succeeds in break
ing up the Governments, trampling on
the Constitution, the next thing they
will do will be to inaugurate religious
war. They appeal to the religious pre-

AMONG the distinguished Demo-
Gratis who have given in their adhesion
to the paper money doctrines of Penn
sylvania and Ohio is Mr.. Jefferson
Davis, This gentleman says that ''in
the present condition of the country
more currency is needed" We have
only to look at a chapter in history
with which Mr.. Davis mnst be familiar
to learn what "more currency" would
do for US. The Confederate currency
in November, 1861, was worth eighty
five cents in gold. Six months later,
when there was good deal more of it,
it had sunk to sixty. In November,
1862, it had reached forty-tive cents,
and a wear later, "more currency" be-
ing constantly added, it had touched
eight cents, and then gradually went
out of sight, though it continued to
circulate little at three cents to five
until Richmond was invested. We
have no doubt that by proper atten-
tion to Democratic principles of finance
we could achieve a career as complete
ly, if not as rapidly, ruinous as that of
the Confederacy under in the influence
of Mr.. Davis's "more currency, "-lN.

Bill Allen Must be Sacrificed.

From the New York Graphic. (Dem.)
The Sun thinks the Democrats in
Ohio will carry their ticket because Of
the Democratic success in California
and the large increase of their vote in
Maine. But does this follow? The
Democrats of Ohio are handicapped.
They are carrying an initiation platform,
and have turned the Liberals and all
the Germans against them for that rea-
son. The Democracy carried California
easily, but it was on the stiffest kind of
hardmoney platform, and the fifteen
thousand addition to the votes of the
Democrats in Maine was on a pronounc-
ed specie basis programme. No; the
best friepds of Governor Tilden, Of
Hendricks, and Senator Thurman are
secretly opposed to Allen, and wish his
defeat. If he should be elected it will
seriously imperil the Democratic ticket
in the State of New York, for it will be
difficult to make honest Democrats
work in the same party that carries an
initiation banner in Ohio. Let Allen
be sacrificed.

The Folly of the Ohio Democrats.

Tile new 1OTh
1t used to be said during the late war
that several vehement and reckless
Democratic journals, East and West,
were supported from a Republican
secret service fund, with the object of
making the Democratic party odious to
the people. 1t has also been asserted
thst one or two especially foolish Dem
ocratic Congressman, during the same
period, received their nominations
through the intrigues of astute Repub-
lican managers, who foresaw the value
OF such men in Congress to make their
party suspected Bnd feared.
There was probably, little or no foun-
dation for these assertions; for candor
requires us to say that the Democrats
during and since the war have been but
too ready to encourage the ignorant
and unprincipled among their public
men, and have needed 40 outside help.
But the course of the party in Ohio and
Pennsylvania just now recalls the old
story of Republican manipulations, and
lends to them certain amount Of prob
ability. For, what could be more NAL
adroit than that, just when the country
has made up its mind that paper mon
ey is blunder. when prices have al
ready shrunk very nearly TO a specie
standard, when most of the hardship
and suffering necessarily resulting from
resumption has been felt, when we
might with but little effort and patti
ence return to sound currency, these
Democrats should not only demand a
new initiation of the currency, but COM
nit the additional blunder of accusing
their opponents of having contracted
the currency-a charge which is so cas-
lily refuted by undeniable facts that
only the rasheSt ignorance could max e
it.
Mr.. George H. Pendleton, one of the
foremost Democratic statesmen,
solemnly warned the country in Con-
gress. in 1862, that legal-tender cur
rency would lead to imitation, and
probably to reputation. He spoke
wisely; and the ablest men of both
parties all over the country have for
years urged upon the Republican ad-
ministration the duty of bringing the
nation back to a sound currency. So
general is the conviction among the
people of this necessity that in this
year eight of ten Democratic State Con-
ventiOns which have met have adopt
ed resolutions in favor of sound cur
rency, and all the Republican conven-
tiOns have done the same thing. That
there is faction, more vehement than
strong, in all the States, desirous of in.
tiation, is perfectly true, but there are
many signs such as the ridiculous fail
ure of the Detroit imitation meeting, to
+, show that neither the mass of the peo.
pie nor the really eminent leaders OF
either party favor so fatal and dishon.
est policy.
