GOV. BROWNS LETTER.

We copy elsewhere an elaborate re-
view by Gov. Brown of the history of
the State debt since the restoration of
the ballot to the whites of Tennessee,
together with the effects ofthe funding
policy. Those who denounce what they
term paying interest on interest may
be agreeably surprised to learn that the
State gains, and the bondholders lose,
in the way Of interest onoverdue debts,
the sum of S1,124,242.
The Governor also effectHally ex-
plodes the idea that we must go on
paying interest ior forty years without
decreasing the principal. The new
funded bonds Will not amount 10
$1,000 900, all the rest of the debt re-
manning in the same shape as before.
These new funded bonds are l0-40s;
that is. the State has the right to pay
the principal at any time after ten
years, while the bondholder cannot
demand it under forty. Judging by
our growth in the old times Of peace, it
is a most reasonable ejaculation that a
rate of taxation which now meets the
interest, will extinguish the principal
in less than twenty years.
Concerning our legal obligations on
the outstanding debt, the Governor
calls attention to the fact that only ST.
$4,000 remain of bonds issued To
unfinished and insolvent roads under
the Brownlow regime. As the State
has since enforced its mortgage by
selling these roads. thus claiming
the proceeds Of the sale of these bonds,
it can hardly repudiatc them now.
What might have been done five years
ago is not now practical question. If
the scroll of time were rolled back to
that epoch, when Tennesseeans were
confronted with a debt of S43,0O0,0OO,
it is Just possible thatt matter would
be managed less wisely.
The census of 1870 shows that Tennes-
see annually produces Sl4O,000,00O on
aggregate of wealth whose real value
is 100000, 1000. Five per cent Of our
wealth or fifteen per cent of our annual
production Will pay the entire debt.
In the face of these stubborn figures, 1t
would be difficult to prove inability to
nav. The same census shows that
Tennessee property is assessed at only
fifty per cent, while Alabama and
Georgia assesses at so and IS per cent,
and. ON the North, Kentucky levies at
the rate of 66. IN Massachusetts, the
assessed value Of property IS 20 per
cent of It's real worth.
Among other curious facts, the Gov
aYnor states that the rate OF taxation
which has been paid by Memphis for
all purposes. would, if levied through
out the State, pay the State debt IN one
year. The present tax in Memphis is
over four per cent. Apply thai peF
cent 10 the whole wealth Of Tennessee
and the problem is solved.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1874-07-28

deemed IL time enough 10 do this when our
bonded debt should be thoroughly sifted
under the operations of the funding and
registration bill, and after the country
should still further recuperate from finan.
cial depress on. But the theory Of the most
intelligent friends of the State credit was,
and still is. that rate oftaxation that will
now nav the current interest on the bonded
debt will. in less than twenty years, with
an ordinary prosperity in the State, absorb
the principal. as we'll as pay the interest.
Oneof the ablest statisticians in the State,
and who speaks from nonpartisan stand
point. has made thecalculatiOn,a and with the
official sanction of the bureau he represents,
has put IL before the country as a feasible
solution Of this question, and L reproduce
it here with pleasure, believing, as | do,
that with ordinary prosperity the increas-
ing wealth and population Of the State will
more than verify this reasonable expecta-
ton. Ii is as follows:
@The taxes on merchants and on privi-
leges are estimated to be sufficient to pay
the expenses Of the State Government.
The rate of taxation which will at present
pay current expenses and interest will, at
the average rate Of increase in
taxable property, absorb the princi-
pal in a few years. The true value of prop
erty i'm the State in 1850 was S2O1 ,246, $50;
in 1850, SI93. 9O3, SOP: in 1870, S49S. 237,-
ia. In the decade between 1850 and 1860,
the value of property increased 145 per
cent. In the succeeding decade it did not
increase quite one per cent, though this
was owing TO the destruction of property
by the war. Ii is estimated that at least
100000, 900, including slaves, were lost to
the property-hOlders of the State between
1850 and 1870. But for that calamity, $780,
100000 would have been the true estimate
in 1870, or about ~ per cent. increase. Es-
timating the same rate of increase 10 have
obtained since 1870, and we ought to have
5000, OOO, 900 in 1875, S70QOO0,OO0 in 1880,
and nearly $1,000, 100000 in 1890. In six
teen years from the present time, we should
collect double the amount Of taxes, at the
same rate Of taxation and the same Tela-
tive assessed value of property, as in 1870.
To put il in different way: If the
INCREASE IN THE VALUE OF PROPERTY
be four per cent. annually, the increase in
the amount collected at the same rate ought
TO be four per cent. if the ratio between the
true and assessed value is maintained.
'If the revenue derived from taxation on
property in 1875 should be enough to pay
the interest on the State debt, we can set
aside sinking fund in

By act of Congress, approved Aug.
:. 1861, a direct tax of twenty million
dollars per annum was appOrtiOned,
among all of the then existing States
and Territories, and the District of
Columbia. Tennessee's quota was
5000, 49S, and the following counties
bled to the aggregate extent of S4o2y-
ota Leee4ra the enllection of the tax was
suspended: Williamson, Wilson, Sum-
ner, Maury, Davidson, DeKalb, Cheat
ham, McMinn, Smith, Roane, Jeffer-
son, Franklin; Bradley, Henry, Stewart,
Lincoln, Madison, Shelby, Robertson,
Perry, Dickson and Hardin. All the
other counties were lucky enough to
escape, as they were not deemed
healthy localities for Federal tax
gatherers during the war.

As Beecher himself boasts of the
record, Southerners must be pardoned
for remembering, in his present
troubles, that he first rose to national
reputation by active participation in
the furore which unfortunately made
slavery a political issue. Perhaps he
did more than any other preacher to
give Abolitionism the force of a re-
Hgious crusade. Nineteen years ago,
IN one of the leading churches of New
Haven, he was the principal frebrand,
and raised subscriptions for arms and
men to resist the soldiers of the United
States army in the Territory of Kansas.

THE Menlphis appeal says: "Gov.
Browns letter has developed one fact
which is high tribute to Democratic
rule. In the Southern States, where
the Radicals have the power, the State
debt has swollen mountain high, until
reputation and bankruptcy are the
only alternatives. But in Tennessee,
since the Democrats assembled to power,
the indebtedness of the State has been
reduced from forty-three millions to
twenty-one milhons-about one-half.
This is high compliment to the De-
mocracy of Tennessee"
