opposition, he could easily have
shaped the legislation Of the Forty
fourth Congress so as not only to
have met the demands Of his own
party, but Of the general public to
such a degree as to have rendered al
most certain Democratic victory in
1876, so overwhelming and decisive

4 RAILROAD from Memphis to
Knoxville by way Of Nashville, direct,
is fast becoming a necessity. A glance
AZ the map will show this. Let Mem
phis, Nashville aud Knoxville all agi
late the matter. Il Knoxville Chron
icle.
The Memphis and Knoxville narrow
gauge railroad project might be re-
viewed now. 1t was constructed on
paper several years ago, and aos only
that, but there was scme money col
lected along the proposed line in West
Tennessee, and there was some grad
ing done east Of Bolivar under the
direction Of the President, General K
P. Nicely. The writer Of this has G
feeling recollection Of a mid winter
canvass that MajJr Wilmington, a'eivil
engineer, and himself made along the
line from Memphis to Bolivar,
soliciting subscriptions, making rail-
road speeches, talking about moving
the next crop and all that sort Of
thing, and coming back at last and
giving up the undertaking after con.
siderable outlay Of time and money
This was no visionary scheme, but 1t
had to encounter some foolish opposi-
ton, and then the panic Of 1873 came
on. Work stopped and has never
been resumed. A glance at the
map will show that a line from
Memphis to Bolivar and thence
on to the Tennessee river, crossing
oyer at Savannah into Middle Tennes
see and on up through the mountains,
would open up country not well sup
Piled with railroads but blessed with a
great variety Of productsiand resources.
Such a road could be built much
cheaper than the ordinary wide guago,
and the western terminus could be
connected by q short branch
with the Paramore system, and thus
it would become a part Of a mugnid.
cent system that is to span the cont
neut. However, we anticipate the
road is not likely to be built unles.
somebody like Paramore or Willard
will come along and build it for US.

One OF the most frequent arguments of
free trade is TO say to farmer Brown, "See
the tariff on this commodity.-You could
purchase it abroad ten per cent. cheaper
than you can purchase it when manufactured
at home. You lose ten cents every time you
buy one dollars worth of it. Brown sees il
and finds it direct personal argument In
favor of voting for free trade. He forgets
that arguments of this sort may hold good
for individuals, but would not hold good for
an entire people. Undoubtedly, other things
being equal, Brown could save ten per cent.
by purchasing abroad. So could Smith and
Jones. But suppose the entire people, UNI
der the system of free trade, should com
mence purchasing abroad, and home indus
try cease. Then farmer Brown would still
save his ten per cent, but he would lose the
home market for his produce which the des-
troyed industry supplied, and the country
would lose the large sum which the
destroyed industry earned. The money
which had formerly remained to be spent in
this country would go abroad. The country
would save through farmer Brown ten cents
when he purchased one dollars worth of the
given commodity. but it would lose through
this same Brown, the dollar which he sent
abroad. Net loss to country ninety cents.
Brown would save ten per cent. could other
things remain equal. But the trouble with
the above pretty proposition of free trade is,
when Brown and everyone else begin TO send
their money abroad other things don't re-
main equal.--RGS0R Netcs.
