evenly distributed in the long run
The people pay it who should pay it

The Cherry and Hillman will. leave

Steamboat men are expecting lively
times this season as corn will likely
move early, but say they can move il
and the tobacco promptly.
The Drouillard, Captain W.R. Gracey
commanding will be in the Evansville
trade this season, and Cherry in Cairo
trade.
Hillman will run between Clarksvill,
and lower river points. Clarksvill,
will have no grounds for complaint thil
season about facilities for handling tn,
Cumberland river trade and we hope
our merchants, tobacco and grain mer
will do their part towards bringing thu
business here.

High Rats Of I.ersss.

We do not write TO atagonize our
local Banks; we cheefully concede their
willing. generous aid in assisting our
city, in the transaction Of a general
business, amounting annually 10 five
and one half millions OF dollars. But
our point is this; all safe interest bear
ing securities are placed at the low rate
Of 81 to per cent. Our commercial.
four mon hs bills payable are taken at
10 per cent. Or 81 per cent of. 1t is
patent to any one that with this great
difference al that's necessary to do is
that, syndicate OF gentlemen"
organize either National or private
Banking Institution, with a low cash
clpltal; 90 upon the loan markets Of
the East, borrow upon their gilt edge
credito one or two million, and dribble
it out to suit the farmers, the mechan-
ic or the merchant at 10 per cent.
1t is true this is a risky "buisness;"
but the urgent demand for money,
The enticing 6 per cent net, interest on
a kite bill is too tempting to the average
Shylock. Let me suggest a way out OF
this evil. When farmer delivers n
hogshead OF Tobacco 10 a warehouseman
give him as a receipt for such delivery
q coupon covering weight and aproxi-
mated value. If the farmer wants mon
ey let him deposit this coupon as col
lateral. This would change the char
acter OF security from personal to real.
The fault is not in our Banks. Rate OF
interest is an index OF the solvency OF
the risk. The wolf behind the door
lies in the fact, that we borrow on our
credit, and not our produce.
INSPECTION 1886 & 1887.

The big are not animals, but the

REV. SAN SMALL delivered an address

REV. SAN SHALL delivered an address
in the Methodist church in this city
Monday night 10 large and attentive
audience. He selected rs a text the
10th verse Of the Bird chapter Of the
Acts Of the Apostles: "And his name
through faith In his name, hath made
this man strong, whom We see and
know: yea, the faith which is by him
hath given him this perfect soundness
in the presence OF you all. /"
Mr.. Small then proceeded to give his
experience, which is only that OF hum
dreds OF spoiled boys whose fond par
ents sent them to college, but failed to
learn them to work. He drew good
picture OF his conversion from his
wickedness, and all good men will hope
he may continue 10 walk soberly
through the rest OF his life. He has a
good voice and pleasing address. His
ideality seems largely developed, and
his acquaintance with such master
spirits as Richlieu is evidently much
more familiar than with the men he
and all OF Us meet in every day life.
We have no unkind criticism to make
mon the matter or manner OF Mr.
Small's sermon or speech, for it WI 8
both, to some extent, but he virtual y
admits that other men require some
thing more than was needful in his con-
versation and that he is willing TO
coerce when he fails to persuade. We
can only hope that Mr. Small may es-
cape from the politicians as safely as
we believe he has done from the evil
habits OF his Younger days.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHlAs.
Tribute of Respect.

1t has pleased the all wise ruler OF the
universe TO take from our midst and
from his fellowship in this order our
brother, Thomas Frazier Henry, who
died at his residence in this city on
Thursday November 25th. He was
called away suddenly, but if life OF
rectitude and one full OF charity for his
brother man can prepare us for that
great change and fit us for the home oil
many mansions he did not leave us un-
prepared, and will not be without his
reward in the new life upon which he
has entered.
Brother Henry was born in this
county on the day Of November = 1885
and has resided in our midst during his
entire life on earth. He was a faithful
soldier in the Lost Cause, and return.
ing soon after the war he was as true tC
all his duties as a Citizen as he had
been to those which tried him in q
sterner field. He was man OF warm
and aflectionate disposition, and never
in his whole life gave needless pain tc
any one. He will be missed in this
community, where as citizen, he left
no duty undischarged; missed from
his own family where his place can
never be filled by another, and missed
IN this Lodge OF which he was usefuI
and influential member:
Therefore, Resolved; That we con.
vey to his bereaved wife and children
the assurance OF our heartfelt sympathy
with them in their affliction, and we
ourselves lament in his death the loss
OF one who can not easily be spared
from among us, whose memory we will
cherish with affection, and whose vir-
tues we will strive to initiate.
Resolved, that these resolutions be
spread upon our minutes, and that the
keeper OF Records and Seal have the
same published, and that he furnish q
copy to the family OF our deceased
Brother.

Future Prices Of American Leaf Tobacco.
Cincinnattl Tobacco Leaf.

~~N-~@
We see that the United States Agri-
cultural Department places the average
production of tobacco the present year
at 700 pounds per acre, and The total
yield about 4S0, 000, 900 pounds. While
Of course, it is impossible to give the
yield accurately, still this about illus
trates the comparative yield when
placed In juxtspostion with the figures
of last years yield-about 100000, 900
pounds more The effect OF this reduce
ton in yield on prices will not be felt
this year, but il it is followed by
greater reduction next year. then the
effect on values will be visible in
steady improvement in prices, as by
that time the surplus stock now check
ing active trade in the principal mar
kets will have disappeared to great ex-
tent, and with the certainty OF a crop
materially below actual current require
ments staring them in the face, manu-
iacturers and spectators will be urged
to active efforts, and the competition
that now makes dull market and be-
gets low prices, and the reason for the
refusal of buyers to bid actively against
each other is found in the fact that the
large stock in all markets proves to
them there is far more tobacco than is
actually required in the near future,
and consequently it can be obtained,
and that it would be foolish on their
part to strive actively for what can be
secured with much less energy and
effort.
The use OF tobacco is constantly
spreading, and its consumption increas-
ing, and it is due only to unusual in
crease in its production that the de-
mand for it becomes stagnant. Were
the increase in its production only to
keep pace with the increase of its con-
sumption, there would always be q
healthy and active market for it.
Planters should bear this in mind.
And American tobacco will always be
the favorite for the uses of the ordinary
consumers, and will always command
a ready market at considerable adj
vance above the hybrid productions Of
other countries. Tobacco is indigenous
to America, and thrives or natures in
no other country like ours, and the PEG.
pie of no other country seem to under
stand it's culture and manipulation az
we'll as we do. This, OF course, is ex-
cepting the very limited production o.
Havana, Sumatrs and Turkey, which
for special purposes, is in great de-
mand.
