Significant Figures.

Here are two facts which we gain
from official reports in France in our
latest foreign files. They are worth
collating. The dullest reader can see
their significance, The government of
France asked for loan of 5000, 000,-
600, ard in two days it was subscribed
in Paris, while in'the agricultural dis
tricts 100000, 900 was taken in small
sums in the same time. This loan pays
but A per cent. The fact that the
working people and small farmers of
the French provinces have $500, 000,-
600 ready to invest at short notice and
low percentage, while thesame classes
in England are scraping up enough
money to pay their passage to this
country or Australia in the hope of
making a new start in life, is explained
by the universal habit of thrift which
is taught to the French peasant from
his birth, and which the Englishman
never earns.-Ne,V York Tribune.
We publish the above to show what
any people may do with their public
debt when they make it THAR own and
use it as blessing instead of burden.
Let Tennessee take a lesson and make
hers a home debt and use it as cur
rency at home.

One dollar year for a frst-class

Duplicity DOubly Dealt.

The agitation organs say that "the
people irrespective of parties" or party
affiliations are moving against the 1908.
In one breath they invite all Demo-
Gratis to join in a movement against it
irrespective Of parties" In the next
they say that "the low tax party is one
of the liveliest parties now in existence,
at the proper time the chairman will
call the State Committee together to
take into consideration matters of i'm
portance' ('lot to the people butt to the
party" What party? "THe lo,O taa
party" This is thes deceptive plea
of irrespective Of parties" Is this the
feast to which "the people irrespective
Of parties" are invited?

Let Us Know the Figures.

The cry of the agitators is "let the
people rally against the 1908 infamy
irrespective of partias." AS we have
said ofton before, the people are gener-
ally opposed to that measure, and are
ready and willing to move orderly, le-
gally and judiciously for relief from its
burdens, but they want to know what
they are moving to-they desire some
thing tangible, something more than
the delusive cry of Ioau tao and fllibus-
tering for office.
The same leaders of "the people"
claim the credit of defeating the 5O'4
and denounced it, if possible, more bit
terly than they are now denouncing
the 1908.
Now, if they want the Democracy
to 90 with them irrespective of party"
as they cry, let them state in their mass
meetings just the figures they propose
to substitute for the 1908 and then we
will know what they mean. If they
mean to settle the debt at 50-4 let them
say so, and the Democracy will meet
them on that figure. If they mean
500 cents, let them say SO. II tney
mean nothing, let them say so. We
want to know the figures; we have had
enough of the decisions and receptions
covered up BY the demagogue's cry o
, high tao and lo,c tao.
Can any man who heard Mr.. Snod
grass and Col. Hill here some week
' ago tell what they are for? How
e much of the debt, if any, did they ia
f vor paying?

Democratic Prospects.

One of the most favorable signs Of
Democratic success in this State next
year is the disposition now becoming
quite manifest to have a united party.
The division of last year has been Sc
we're lesson to the party. But now that
the former low tax men can take posi-
ton in the party again with dignity
and upon principle-they are doing it.
The men who leave the Democratic
party next year will go directly into
the Republican party and distinctions
will be dropped among those who re
main,-Er.

Resolutions for the Democracy.

/. Resolved that we will abide by
the decisions of the courts on the 1908
settlement.
2. Resolved that we are in favor of
compromise of the State debt at 50,4
with 30 years, and said compromise to
be made as a constitutional amendment
to be ratified by the people, which
would settle the matter forever.
Will the meeting at Smithville next
Monday adopt the substance of the
above resolutions, or if not, will they
put themselves on record as rejecting
them? We want to know what these
meetings are for. If they mean to re-
lieve the people let them say so.

What France Has Done Tennes'
see May do.

BY reference to the figures given in
another column under the head of "sig-
nifcant figures" it will be seen that
the French people disposed of their
foreign debt in two days by advancing
the money to pay it off and making it
home debt, on which they themselves
received the interest and profits of it.
The population Of France then was
about thirty-six millions, and the debt
was six hundred millions, which makes
an average of S17 to each inhabitant.
Tennessee has population Of one and a
half millions and a debt of twenty
seven millions, which is an average Of
$3.50 to each person, but as the debt
is under par, at 60 cents on the dollar
each person would pay only $1,000.
Had we not better advance the
money as did the French and taxi
charge of the debt and manage it tt
our own interest? Suppose the French
had said we can't pay it, and repe'diate'
the debt, and they would to-day hav
had the iron yoke of oppression faster
!, GA upon rircru by tnerr exacCing Tru'
sian masters. 1t was this very step G
debt paying that saved the life
France as a nation at that critical mt
E ment. If she had had a Malone t
divide her people she would have pal
the penalty with her national existence
The nation or individual that REFUSE
Y to pay just debts when able does nj
/. deserve a recognition of existen'
among those who thus lose by such r.
q fusal. Let Tennessee make an hone
t effort to adjust this debt honorably ar
n equitably and then we may plead in
O bility for what we lack and receive
II honest acquittal.

REDUCED FREIGHTs.-The new published
