Governor Turnev,a Record

The following comparison of admin
istrations and briefresume Of Governor
Turney's record is from the Memphis
Commercials
look On this picture While John
Price Buchanan was Governor, during
a fairly prosperous time, the State was
compelled to borrow $4,000 at high
rate, in order to pay interest on per
cent. bonds. When he went out of
Office he left practically empty treas
ury and floating debt Of $45000O.
Now, look on this During Governor
Turney's administration, 10 the midst
of a season Of unparalleled depression,
the State has paid the interest on its
bonds before maturity without borrow
ing a cent, with tho result that the
credit Of the State is higher than 1t
has been for many years, and its bonds
have been steadily rising in the mar.
ket. During his administration the
State has paid off every dollar of the
floating debt left by the Buchanan
administration, and now has over
100000 q revenue funds in the treas
ury, and dotsntawe dollar outside
OF its bonded Indebtedness Vines

THE census bulletin relating to
mortgages issued recently BY Mr..
Carroll D. Wright" says the New
York Advertiser, supplies some
interesting information; for exam
pie, that on January 1, 1890, the
mortgages held in the United States
numbered 4 77766S representing
an indebtedness of $6,oI9,6799S5.
As a matter Of fact the State of
New York has mortgage indebt-
edness of 81, sos, S74,3oI which is
Fl per cent. Of the whole mortgage
incumbrance of the United States
The mortgage debt Of the country
averages 500 per head of the popu-
lation, whereas in New York il
runs up to sos perhead. Colorado
and California are second and third
but only at 500 and 500 head
respectively. The South has
light burden Of incumbrance Oh
land. In Kentucky, for example
the mortgaged acreage is 1913 pc
cent; Virginia, 1859 per cent
Tennessee, I4.43; and Florida bu
976 per cent. Taking the Unite'
States as a whole the percentage
about % And yet it is the wall o
the Populist, in the West and Soutl
that they are mortgaged down t

East are slowly but surely founder
