OUR STATE FINANCES.
We Must CurtaiI Expenses and
Pay the State Debt.


tits evident that the coming
State contest is to be on the Fin
ance question. Is the Democratic
Party Of Tennessee prepared to
meet the issue? For the last two
years the Legislature and executive
have lodged tile question. In the
meantime the debt has grown and
the old complications are revived.
We cannot submit to future temper
izing and vascillation. We want
no tyros in our next general
assembly. w" want men of ability
and financial experience and wisdom
and true moral courage. We want
no figure head as our executive.
We warn the politician now that it
is business tact and firmness in
stead OF demagouery and double
dealing that the people demand.
Our best men must be sent to the
convention. The platform must ad
NIT of but one construction. Our
candidate for Governor must be
chosen because Of his force and
power in the canvass. In the face
Of our distressed commercial con
dition it will require more than
ordinary eXertions to arouse the
people to the magnitude of the oc-
cassiOn. The State debt must be
provided for, and upon business
principles, and these are such as
prudent business men adopt in re.
ference to their own affairs. "What
is your planY' inquired a gentle
man of the Hon. JnO. NJ. Lea
elected from Davidson County tc

count Of financial ability and ex
perience. My plan of finance he

said more if he had spoken through
out the torty-five days of the ses
sion. Upon this question the Re
publicans are united. They hav,
never been divided. They will al
heretofore advocate the payment o
the interest and reduction of tn,
principal of our debt. Can the De
mOcracy meet them on this issue
/ Until recently the Democracy hav,
been united and determined. ST

not lie in reputation either tota

is only because of this fearful de
preston that the weight of taxation

1t has come out that the exposure
of Belknap by Marsh was not be
cause of the laJter's Spartan virtue
which permitted him to steal but
not to lie, but was the result of a
quarrel between the wives of the
two men. Marsh's wife is a woman
of as great beauty and personal a.
pearance as Mrs, BeIknap, and the
two often had those painful little
indifferences arising from social ri
valry When the pressure of the
committee was but upon Marsh, his
wife insisted that he should no lon
ger attempt to screen the secretary.

An EXPERIMENT m COOPERATION.

In 1872, large manufacturing hrm
In New York called its workmen toge-
Their, and announced that after a GER
tain date every man would receive over
and above his wages share in the pror
fits Of the business, be they more or
less, according to the sales. The men
received the statement with incredulity
and returned to their work. Six
months passed, and the firm announced
that 1t had 81, 1000 to divide among the
men in proportion to their wages. The
immediate result of the actual division
Of the money was gratifying to all con-
cerned. The men resumed work with
remarkable animation and industry
Every one became jealous of his niegh'
boris work, every one became his fell
lows o+erseer. No idleness now, no
"one-handed work" no Sinking and
dilatory pipe.lighting, no guards to
watch for the foreman, no waste of
material and time. Never before had
so much work been performed in day !;
never had such skill, economy, aptitude,
and intelligence been shown at the
benches, and never had better goods
been made. The men were apparently
satisfied, and the firm was more than
compensated for the increased outlay
by the improved quality of the goods.
Several months passed. and the house
announced that in few weeks it would
have a surplus of $4,000 to divide
ameng the wofkmen. Suddenly led
away by some epidemic of unreason,
the met, struck for reduction Of time
to eight hours. The proprietors would
not consent to this, and as cohse-
quence for two weeks the shops were
closed. In vain were the men shown
the money coming to them, in vain
was it demonstrated that they were
making more than men in the same
line in other shops. They persisted in
the strike till they could hold out no
longer, and then resumed work as bes
fore. The firm declined to proceed
further with the cooperative expert
ment, and what had been fair with pro-
mise was thus brought to disastrous
end.
