A Little Talk on the Bond Question

A Little Talk on the Bond Question.
Ii the people decide upon the issu-
ance of the bonds, of which there can
be no doubt if they give the important
question due consideration, it should
be understood right at the start that
they will not sell their stock in the
road which they have helped to build.
When the roads are built, the burdens
past and dividends are in the near
future, the capitalists will be around
with their artful persuasions and
tempting offers. The great mistake
and folly in parting with their stock
in the East Tennessee road, just when
its properties had reached the divi-
dend-paying point, should not be re-
peated. AS q general thing, railroad
profits are immense, so much so that
railroad building is the favorite invest
ment OF our large capitalists. The De-
pews, Goulds, Nanderbilts, CARROTS,
and other magnates Of the kind have
made their countless millions by en-.
terprises in this line of development
and activity, extending the iron
threads OF interstate commerce from
ocean to ocean and sending theil
ramifcations into every part OF the
country If it pays them to build anC
operate such enterprises, it will Ger
tainly pay the smaller capitalist t.
have an interest in them. The aver
age railroad dividend is far better thar
the legal rate of interest, and then it Ii
much safer as railroad wrecking ha
not been, and can never be, one OF thu
fine arts in the diplomacies Of thos,
modern inventions-Monopolies com
bines and trusts. This is especial.
true, in this instance more than an,
other, because the law, in the careful
and cautious restrictions throw
around the railway companies, zeal
ously guards and protects the right
and interests of the people from thu
entertainments OF this branch of tho
money power.
1t is useless to grieve over this grea
folly OF the past, but we feel that W
are inside OF the truth when we sa
that Washington county lost thous
ands of dollars in the sale OF her raj
road stock. At a five per cent, div
dend. which we think is unreasonable
low, she would have received $4,000
in this time, and this would have bee
an immense help in the payment c
her taxes.
This piece of financial madness
killing the goose for the golden egg
we are sure, will have no advocates,
Washington county ever again own
stock in a railroad.
The Louisville, Cumberland Ga
and Atlantic, and the Unaka an
Nolachucky railroads, penetratin
illimitable forests of the most valuabl
timber that have never rang with tn
sound OF the woodlands ak, an
boundless fields Of coal and iron, an
being feeders to and important link
in, in the greatest of the South's line
of transit, must pay from the very b,
ginning. The dividends and take
derived from these lines, and the take
derived from the other roads passin
through our territory would be ampl
in very few years, to build the ne
school houses that would be require
and to sustain the public schools min
months out of the year. This is a
important consideration, when we n
call the fact, that outside of the town

WE can't understand, The high tariff
advocates tell the Workingmen that
the higher the tariff the higher the
prices of goods, and the better the
wages Of labor and the more are they
profted thereby. They tell the farmers
that the tariff reduces the prices of
manufacturers and to continue the
ratio and proportion principles in
volved in their logic, the. higher the
tariff the cheaper the prices and the
better for the farmers. We can't see
how this thing can work up and down
at the same time. 1t strikes us that
if there is a correspondence between
high prices and high wages, that low
prices necessitate low wages
