our shores; our greenback dollar has equal
purchasing power with the best coin dollar
in the world; and the interest paid BY the

Can our opponents, by any tariff tinker

make labor more in demand and at high

that they can, in the financial markets OF

JUDGE WHITLEY, of the United States
circuit court, decides that the railroads
Of Tennessee are not liable for the
bonds of the state issued to assist in
their construction. The amount in
volved is about S15,000,000. The in
terest on the bonds has been in default
since 1875 The decision leaves the
bondholders absolutely at the mercy of
the state, which, though abundantly
able viii not pay more of It's debt than
it is forced to honor. The floating debt
of Tennessee, by the last statement.
was 81 100000, and the surplus cash in
the treasury 100000. The rate of
taxation is low and the resources of the
state large and rapidly increasing. The
people might easily assume the whole
debt without inconvenience to them
selves The republicans of Tennessee,
to their credit be it said, are making an
earnest fight for payment in full, and
are drawing to their support in conse-
quence large number Of conservative
democrats.
