PoLiowIsG A BAD EXAMPLE,


Several years ago We expressed the opin-
ion that Japan would come to grief through
adopting American financial theories.
This we did at the time when American
financial theories were crude and fallacious
when we had an inflated and redundant
paper currency, and when our politicians
and demagogues were going about boasting
OF the circumstances which, in the eyes of
every intelligent man, constituted the dis.
grace and opprobrium of the country.
The Japanese, always too impulsive, and
far too ready to to jump at the conclusion
that anything connected with Western
civilization must be an Improvement on
their OVID, adopted our deeply .discredited
financial follies. Unfortunately it is the
easiest thing in the world to put paper
currency aioat, and moreover it is quite a
fascinating game at first. So the Japanese
found it, and as the agricultural classes of
the interior took whimsical fancy to the
paper currency, it obtained 4 mischievous
hold upon the people. But it has been
sinking in value from the first and now it
has reached 20 per cent. discount or, as
orr Greenbackers would put st, gold has
risen to that premium in Japan. At
present the situation is very discouraging.
1t is said tha nobody knows how much
paper money in circulatioa but every
body has fo put tina. it is m evil of the

imisasors have substituted for Il. Perhaps
their experience in this may cause them
to doubt whether they have mot also been
going somewhat too fast in other ways.

the first degree, for the scond time.
Under ordinary Circumstances it would be
reasonable to conclude that after this his
execution would follow, but considering
upon what manner of grounds the Supreme
Court has heretofore granted new trials in
murder cases, it would be very rash to
make any predictions. Certainly his
counsel have encouragement to seek an.
other trial. Perhaps they can show that
the prosecution read something from an
other book, the author of which had not

THE REAL ISSUE
I'm the state is Finy.aBd-rhreeOr Repu-
diaIIOn-BaIe a gaInst Hawkins.
IoniSville Caurier-Journal.

The honest Democrats of Tennessee, who
love their country and their party, and who
seek to rescue the government from the
piacem ard oligarchs by whom II Is pos
ssssed and conducted for the benefit OF the
few at the expense OF the many, should
not allow themselves to be misled by false
Issue. No party in Tennessee proposes to
pay The State debt IN full. Nor is here any
moral difference or distinction OF public
credit and honor in the matter OF settlement,
between sixty-and. six, or ffty-and four, or
any other figures or fractions less than one
hundred cents on the dollar. The scaling
process, whichever way it be taken, is repu-
diation; and, while the interest OF the Stale
would, in the long run, be better served by
dischargiDs every peHny of its obligations,
there is an undenisble show of plausi bilIty
in the popular unwillingness TO pay sixty
cents when certain creditors have expressed
a Willingness TO take fifty. The truth is, as
matters stand, the extremist, who will have
nothing less than the full payment OF the
debt, makes himself the most effective
friend of reputation. In any event,
the issue ephemeral and local,
and should not be permitted TO affect
the organization of the Dem ocrstic party
nor interpOse between General Bate and
united Democratic vote. Those who were
shouting "read jaster" at the late Democratic
State convention, forget that the settlement
which they support Is nothing II 1t be not
"readjustment." And, when this same class
shrek "Mahoue" at the heels of the Demo-
cratic nominee, they forget that they do so
in the interest of tue party which has made
an unholy alliance with Mahope. 1t Is
Hawkins and his party who are hand-in-
glove with Malone, mo- Bate and his party.
Democrats should remember this and, re-
membering il, should sternly rebuke the
malcontents and impracticsbles, who are
straining at Democratic On al to swallow

would be 10 play into the hands of growers
n East India, Egypt, Brazil and else-
where. Our true policy is to supply
he worlds markets with plenty of the best
cotton grown at prices other growers
cannot compete with. Oar cotton-growers
must supply the worlds market 10 the
utmost possible extent in order 10 keep rivals
out Of II. LSt the farm produce what is
necessary for its own consumption Of the
main articles, that when the cotton is
sold there are comparatively few bills to pay.
Then American cotton can be put on the
markets at a price that will keep away
any formidable competition, and at the
-sme time pay the grower good substantial
croft, by which be and his family can live
IN comfort and prosper. For years the AP-
PEAL has proclaimed a truth which cannot
DC too we'll understood-iu the long run
those who will not grow their own hay, corn
and meat will be compelled 10 sell out to
those who will. Cotton-srowing must b.
pursued as a business, rot carried on by
borrowing and mortgaging, and beiUg the
slave Of those who furnish supplies on credit,
the whole conducted on the doctrine of
chances, like seeking fortune by dabbling
an ordinary product in the market like hay,
OF corn, or beef, the better for The cotton
grower.

CorroN.GRowgns, ADVISERS

The APPEAL has correspondent who has
quick eyes and who detects errors in the
agricultural methods OF The South that are
Sufficiently g airing, and who casts daylight
upon faults 100 prominent TO be concealed
That the cotton-grower must necessarily be
loser, i'll the end, who purchases food Tor
man aud beast, and all the farm and farm
house supplies out of the proceeds Of cotton,
i truth more commonly recognized than
acted upon. There is nothing sensational
about growing grass aud corn aud hogs;
they psy in steady, slow, substantial man
ner, without any dash or rattle. Cotton,
once in way, turns out 10 be prize; under
certain combinations of circumstances it
brings rich return. There is the excite
ment OF the lottery ticket about it. There is
a delightful watching Of chances, and a tan
talizing waiting for events, that keep the
nerves tingling and the brain in a whirl;
there redszzling hopes of making big profits
that urge the excited agriculturist to put all
his fortunes on one die, cotton-plodding,
wearylng, toiling, waiting, uneventful hay,
corn and hogs have no such charms. The ex-
element of the cotton market, with its fuctu-
ations, its "bulls" and "bears," its futures and
its options, fascinates as the snake fasciuates
The bird. Our Jealous correspondent would
have this excitement met BY othsr excite
msnt, by vigorous condemnation, by furious
Dusl ught upon bad methods, by assuring
men who do not act wisely that they are
FOOLS Rebuke, reprosch and scorn may
make men angry and disgust them with good
.idvice. but it will fail TO lead to that cool
re Election, that deliberate, settled resolution
by which wrong methods and shiftless habits
are renowned and amended, and a sensible,
settled. regular scheme of business like |
habits adopted, and a sound system carried |
cut perseveringly that shall relieve from |
debt and dependence and make the cotton
grower a thrifty, prosperous man. Our cor
idea that the cotton grower will |
increase his riches by decreasing his produc- |
lion is no less an error than other errors he |
Justly condemns. The cotton grower who |
desires 10 prosper in a steady, business
way, not by the starts and spurts Of years OF |
phenomenal cotton prices will, every season,
first of all provide for growing on the farm
such grain, meat, fruit and vegetables as are
r,quiled for the subsistence of his family,
The labor boarding on the farm, and the ami
mails reared or employed about it. This
made sure OF, he will then raise every fiber
OF cotton he can. The cotton so grown will
increase in quantity almost every year, be-
cause, when grown under such circumstances,
il will pay 70 well that the grain and meat
will all be the product of extra labor EN-
Tloyed so az not to reduce the cotton crop.
TO decrease the amount of the crop from
yesr to year, under the belief that prices
would in that manner be increased, would
be acting like storekeeper who should ex-
Pect to double his prices by reducing his
