did, the tenant would rent of some else.
But, if he did, the tax on one acre Of
land assessed at twenty dollars, would
only be eight cents, if the tax was only
forty cents on the hundred dollars.
Our State tax is now only ten cents on
the hundred dollars, and vet the poor
man is suffering more than he ever
did before, not from taxation, but
from the effects produced by our repu-
dating, or non-paying policy. Credit
Is ruined, confidence is DESTROYED, pub
lie and private enterprises are stopped,
laberers are thrown out of employment,
wages are reduced and poor honest
working men, who have been persuad-
ed to advocate practical reputation
arc nursing the serpent that is sting
ing them to death. No man sympa-
thizes more deeply with those who are
really in want than do. No one has
felt the want Of money more than l
have. | am opposed to policy which
Is not only running the repu;a alton of
the State, but is destroying its honest,
Woodworking citizens who pay very
little taxes. In the States that pay
their debts and meet their obligations,
where taxes are four, five and in some
instances ten times q. high as they are
in Tennessee, labor is better rewarded
and the working men more prosperous.
The demagogue who persuades the
working man to favor Reputation is
giving him poison, which, although
sweet to taste, carries misery and
death wherever it goes.
Our debt, instead of being reduced,
is growing on us at the rate of near
four thousand dollars per day, with no
prospect of settlement. Our industries
are paralyzed; capital ard immigra-
ton are driven from our State; pro-
perty is decreasing in value money,
even that which is here, has almost
ceased to circulate, because of the
action which we have taken for some
years in regard to our public debt.
Taxes have been reduced to ten cents
ON the hundred dollars, and thai brings
no relief. The country is in a worse
condition, financially, than when our
taxes were four or six times as much
as they now are. Whilst other Sta.e
that meet their obligations are increas-
ing in wealth, We who fail to meet
ours, are gradually and steadily de-
creasing. If this state of things con-
tinues, and Tennessee remains in the
list of defaulting States, there is no
telling how much we will be reduced,
and how deplorable our pecuniary con-
ditiOn may become.
Q.-DO you expect to take any
part in the canvass on this subject
which seems to be approaching?
Al do not. 1 have done all
could, and / must now leave it to men
who hold high positions and who owe
duty to the State that has again and
again honored them.

than upaa the soil where he was born
and reared, and is known. am OPP
posed to this exodus, / see it in a ten
dency to convert colored labering men
into travelling tramps, first going North
because they are prosecuted, and then
returning South because they have
been deserved and disappointed in
their expectations, which will excite
against themselves and against our
whole race an increased measure of
popular contempt and scorn. I am
opposed to this exodus, beca use I be-
lieve that the conditions of existence
in the Southern States are steadily inn
proving, and that the colOred men
there will ultimately realize the fullest
measure of liberty and equality accord
ed and secured in any section of our
common country"

Northern States a multitude Of delud-
ed. hungry, homeless, naked and des-
t:tute people, to be supported in a
large measure by aims. / am opposed
to this exodus, because it viii enable
our political adversssries to make sue
cessful appesls to popular prejudice Gas
in the case Of the Chinese), on the
ground these people, so ignorant and
helpless, have been imported for the
purpose of making the North solid by
oItvOting intelligent white Northern
citizens. l am opposed to this exodus,
because rolling stones gather no moss;
and | agree with Emerson that the
men who made Rome or any other 10
cality worth going to see stayed there.
There is in my judgment, no part of
the United States where an industrious
and intelligent colored man can serve
his race more wisely and efficiently
