THEY ALL DO IT"

Does everybody use tobacco ?
Yes. What! everybody? Well,
nearly every body, as will be seen
by the following from the New York
Times
"DurIng the debate ia the Sci ate
last Monday c0pc6rGipg the proposed
reduction of the tax on tobacco, Ssna-
tor .Bayard said that 10000 600 people
in this country use that article, aud
that it can be produced in aimos
every county in the country. Fine
truth of the last half Of this state
ment We will not pretend 10 doubt,
but We believe the Senator has under
estimated the number OF consumers by
at least 1909, 000 10 100000 In tie
United S states the amount Of tobacco
produced in 1877 was: Untaxed to-
bacc0, in the leaf, 135 600, 600 pounds !;
in cigars, 10000, 600 pounds; Ia oiga-
rettes, 500 900 pounds; untaxgu t. baccC,
say, 40, 900, 900 pounds making Il total
of no less than 1875 500 600 pounds.
But of this gross amount there we're
IL 100000 pounds Of manufactured to-
bacco eX ported, which leaves balance
of 184, coo, 900 pounds for consumption.
900, we find that for each head the
average consumption Is over pounds
per Rnnum. Assu 4IIDg that three
tifths, at least, OF cur population are
women and Cailde1, We have tut 49,
900, 600 adults, o! whom not more than
100000 DO not use tobacco in any
form. This leaves us Is 600, 600 per-
sons who consume yearly l55 pounds,
or very nearly ounces week apiece.
1t Is very difficult to secure data show
ing the actual quantity OF smoking
tobacco brought 10 taxation each year,
for the simple reason that 10 such
record il kept by the Com missioner of
Internal Revenue. and The data de-
rived from the total quantity Of tobso-
co brOus M 10 taxation Is defective, as
growers of leaf can use it FREQ OF tax.
Members of Congress, in teeir speech
es 3 Washington, have variousIy essi-
mated The quantity Of leaf used by
producers sHd others without bling
tax paid The highest estimate was
10000 Coz pounds, but the Revenus
DepaF ment deems this largely IN ex-
cess Of tue quantity so used. II is in
teTesting to note that the aver 4ge con-
sumption OF tobacco for each head of
the population il Germany in 1877
did not fall short OF six pounds. In
England the annual average for each
person is nearly pound and half
In France nearly everybody smokes,
aud in Holland more money is said to
be spent on tobacco than on bread.
Indeed, If may be accepted as q
fact that tobacco Is more generally
used than any other single article OF
com neFcs consumed by man. Cocoa,
it is computed, is used by 5O,O00,O0
human beings, coffee by $50, O00, O00
hashish, by 400 600, 900, opium, in one
form or another. by 400 600 900,
Chinese tea by 500, 900, 900, and tobacco

THE PROGRAMME WILL BE
CARRIED OUT.

The Democrats Of Tennessee, in
their State Convention, held last
August, adopted aPlatfOrm in which
they set forth that they we're not in
favor of reputation, but were for
an equitable adjustment of the
State debt. The first declaration
was made to retain the support of
State credit Democrats, and the secr
ond was bait for gudgeons to NIB
bic at. When pressed during the
canvass to say what he would re-
gard as can equitable adjustment "
of the State debt, Gov. Marks care
fully avoided committing himself to
any settled policy, but since his
election has shown his hand and
revealed programme, agreed upon
previously, without doubt.
This programme appears in his
message. 1t is, to repudiate the
postwar bonds. In order to OBJ
tain a pretext, a legislative commit
tee has been appointed to "inyesti-
gate the State debt. As we have
before remarked, this committee
was organized to make just such
q report as viii sustain the
Governors theory. They will at
tempt to show that money was used
to secure the passage of laws CIV
ing State aid to railroads, and upon
that, will raise the cry of fraud.
We have never doubted that money
was used improperly for that pur-
pose, and if this committee fails to
show it, we will be surprised. But
if this De true, unless proof can be
made that the holders Of the bonds
were a party to such transactions,
We insist that it does not affect their
validity. The laws providing for
their issuance were passed by the
representatives of the people. The
Legislature of 1869-7O recognized
their validity by providing that the
railroads might discharge their obi
cations to the State by paying in
bonds of any series-pOst-war as
we'll as ante-war bonds-placing
them all upon an equal footing.
Under this law the solvent roads
did discharge their Indebtedness,
and the chief financial officer re-
cognized the validity of the whole
debt by receiving all bonds alike,
and in his official capacity giving |
receipts showing that the railroad |
companies had paid their indebted
ness. In 1873, the Legislature
further recognized the validity of
the entire debt by passing the fund
ing bill. This was the act of the
whole people. 1t became law by
the act of a Legislature, more than
two~thirds Democratic, and was APP
proved by John c. Brown, a Demo-
cratic Governor. After all this,
how can the State go back on what
it has done repeatedly?
Rut we presume further argu-
ment is unnecessary, and will ac-
cOmplish nothing with this Legisla-
ture. Reputation seems to have
been agreed upon. A programme
has been laid down and will be
followed out, even though the ghost
of Andrew Jackson should
rise in the Capitol and re-
monstrate against the crime
which the Legislature is about
to perpetrate in the name of the |
people. An appeal in behalf of
morality and common honesty, is
lost when made to men who are
destitute of moral sentiment or
common sense. So far as this Leg
islature is concerned, the die is cast
and the most that we can hope for
is, that nothing will be done. To
do nothing at all is a grievOus !

The DAILY CHRONICLE, and
Weekly WING AND CHRONICLE,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
by enterprise, aecurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit contin-

heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three IN
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION Of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we lave battled for Re-
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.

shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our Geographic dis

our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor~
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire

We call upon all persons inter
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub-
lican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WHIG AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
to reduce the price of the WEEKLQ

times. In the future we will send
