One of the most striking sugges-
tions concerning the proposed worlds
fair for 1892 is to have a feet sail
from Spain, visit San Salvador, then
New York; then have the exhibition
opened by the baby king of Spain.
Queen Isabella pawned her jewels
that Columbus might fit out an ex-
pedition. While owing to his tender
years, it is not expected that the king
of Spain will be present, it is still easy
within the reach of electrical science
to arrange a circuit in connection
with the Atlantic cable, that without
leaving the palace the infant successor
of Ferdinand and Isabella could set
in motion the machinery and bring
light to myriads of electric lamps
which will illuminate the assembled
wonders of the world. Nothing
could more strikingly illustrate the
progress made since the days when it
was thought the earth was fiat.

OUR NEW RAILROAD.

A LETTER from Mr.. Sims, who Is
one Of the owners of the M0ntvale
Springs property in this county,
discloses the fact that quite an in
terest ia being developed among
capitalists In Illinois, in favor Of
building the Montvale railroad
from the Knoxville Southern to
Maryville and Montvale, as also a
line to Sevierville and Newport.
This will be a valuable line to these
three counties, as it would tar the
great lumber, timber, granite, har-
BILE and iron belt.
We know Of no project that would
pay a larger per cent. to invested
capital than a railroad striking the
Chilhowee and Smoky mountains.
Mr.. Sims writes that a number of
capitalists are coming here in No.
vember, a gentleman worth two
million dollars will be one of the
leading figures in this project.
Maryville must give these gen.
tleman an ovation such as will
demonstrate the feelings of the
people in this county to welcome.
ing the friends of progress who
come here to take an interest In
our American Italy. Besides the
interest manifested by capitalists
in Illinois, it is known to some that
quite an interest is being developed
in Chattanooga for this line Of road
A gentleman was at Monvale only
a few days before Mr.. Sims left
who gave him to understand that
capital stood ready there to take an
interest in this development. Just
what the development in . line Of
road in that direction, Is not known
to US, but evidently she expects t.
receive benefit from it if she puts
money into It.

INCREASE OF VALUATIONS.

The Chattanooga Times has gone
wild over the increase in the taxable
valuation of the property in the
state, but fails to say that a large
amount of that change is due to a
law passed by the last Legislature,
which established new standard
for the assessment of property, and
it is this that gives the wonderful
increase in values. The increase in
value in Bleunt is $99.225. While
there was a legitimate increase, yet
there was not that amount in new or
additional property, 1t was largely
owing to an increase in the price of
the same article assessed in 1889
over 1883. There was of course .
large increase in towns and cities
and in manufacturing plants and in
new railroad property, but . very
large percent. Of that increase was
in the price Of the article assessed,
as, for instance, . COW assessed at
SO in 1883, was in 1889 assessed at
s12, and q horse in 1888 assessed ct
$40, in 1889 was made $50 and in
that way was the immense increase
made. We are proud Of our legiti'
mate increase in Blount county, as
we'll as in the State, but are moi
proud of the gains made by Dem.
ocratic Legislature, to increase the
taxes of the people by a fictitious
increase in the value Of articles
assessed, as also by double assess
ments founded on the same property,

tax payers.

GIVE THE PEOPLE FACTS.

The total assessment of the South
will be considerably more than we
predicted a month ago. The returns
are a little backward, but such as
have been made indicate an i'm
provement call along the line"
South Carolina has completed it's
assessments, the total being $145,.
29O,344, an improvement of $3,3O4,-
1879 over last year. This is less
than the other states will do. In
complete returns from Mississippi
indicate an improvement of $11, $780,
861, and for Louisiana of $4,000
600. Tennessee, which is very
nearly through its work, expects to
do far better and claims that it will
lead the South in the increase over
1888. 1t is certainly doing we'll.

This would be encouraging if il
was all true. While the progress in
the South has been great and will
be greater during the coming Eve
years, yet q part Of this increase is
not real. So far as progress is con-
cerned it is partly due to an increase
in assessment, justss we have shown
in the matter Of Blount county.

cape the responsibility fan increase
