LET Us HAVE A REST.

We believe every man of intelli-
gence, who has given the least at
tention to the financial history of
the country. will heartily approve
that portion of the Presidents
message where he says:
"In the present financial condition
of the country, / am persuaded that
the welfare OF legitimate business and
industry of every description will be
best promoted by abstaining from all
attempts ID make radical changes in
the existing financial legislation. Let
Ii be understood that during the com
ing year the business of the country
will be undistuIbed by Governmental
interference with the laws affecting ii,
and we may confidently expect that
the resumption of specie payments,
which will take place at the appointed
time, will be successfully and easily
maintained, and that 1t will be fol-
lowed by heaithful and enduring re-
Vlval or business prosperity.
Let the healing influence of time,
the inherent energies of our people,
ana tue ooundles resources of our
country, have fair opportunity, and
relief from present difficulties will
surely follow"
There can be no doubt but that
the period of financial depression
through which we have passed has
been materially prolonged by the
continued legislation of Congress
on financial questions, mainly

by demagogues and politi-
cal doctrinaires who know
little of the true principles of politi-
cal economy and care less for the
permanent welfare of the people.
They have been actuated BY su-
premely selfish motives, and have
made the financial pressure through
which We have passed a basis upon
which to misreprcsent facts and
mislead the people. The vagaries
of this set of politicians have been
suitably rebuked by the people at
the ballot-box in the elections of
this year, and now we may hope to
have rest on this subject. The
Presidents remarks are timely and
wise.

RAILROADS FOR EAST TEN
NESSEE.

y Els SEE.
We have a country unsurpassed
in the combination of advantages
found in an unusually good climate
for winter or summer work; a soil
of varied character, producing all
the grains, grasses and fruits, and
we have vast stores of coal and
iron, with quantities of many other
minerals. So peculiarly is this re-
gion constructed that it does 10:
naturally converge 20 one central
point, but forms an arc of circle
with the typographical conveyance
to one end. Not only does this
wedge shaped East Tennessee re-
gion thus converge in valley and
ridge toward tie southwest, but it
also falls in elevation from the
northern limit, on the Virginia line,
to the southern, on the Georgia
border. The ridges form great
longitudinal lines OF division, with
here and there a depression, or the
gap through which flows some small
stream, on its way to one of the
great arteries. This valley, only
thirty miles wide at its lower end, is
over eighty at the northeastern /;
hence, at the upper end, the val
lies must be wider, or many of
them and their accompanying dark
ridges become merged into others
with the natural closing up attend
ant upon the narrowing of the space
between the Cumberland mountains
and the Unakas. Nature perhaps
intended that the Tennessee river,
its three great branches and their
tributaries should not only supply
this region with rich valley lands,
but also with means of transporta-
ton for their products, but the day
of water transportation has passed
away until we can get such liberal
appropriations as our Northern
neighbor, the Ohio. A railroad
system properly devised and con-
structed is the need of this region.
At present one great trunk line
passes through a part of the center
of this region, and should have been
entirely so constructed as to have
continued in the central valley,
which it leaves north of Morristown.
The topography of the country is
lily adapted to cross lines like the
Cumberland Gap road, but there is
seldom a point north or south of
this trunk line from which by wind
ing through the hills and gaps that
feeders, generally, we admit, leaning
to the southern end, could not be
made at comparatively small
cost. Such system of
branches on the narrow gauge
system would, in ten years, fully
double the population of East Ten
nessee. Such a road is already
proposed from Johnson City into
North Carolina. An arm from it
might easily be run toward Taylors.
vile. Another line from Greene
vile up the valley of the Nola-
chucky. Abolish that incubus, the
Cumberland Gap and Charleston
Road, or its present line, and turn
it from Newport to Knoxville, run
ming near Sevierville. Then, on
the north side, let the energetic pro-
prietor of the Rogersville branch
turn it into a narrow gauge and
continue it up to Kingsport; then
build a line from the Holston Bridge
to Rutledge and Tate's. Then from
Heiskells Station, on the K. & o.
road via Andersonville, in Ander-

j
Tazewell, and thence to Cumberland
Gap or Jonesville, Va. These
roads should all be narrow gauge,
and, at present prices, can be con-
structed and sufficiently equipped
for $4,000 per mile, or less. There
is some prejudice against the mar
row gauge-that it is baby affair.
There never was greater mistake.
The great capacity of such roads
for traffic is being every day prac-
tically demonstrated, and the
trans-shipment of freight, even cattle,
has been reduced to a very small
cost. Sacked corn can be
transferred for less than
a cent a bag. These roads
can be built and run at a very small
cost, and they are the system of
railroads, at this time, to revive
East Tennessee. What we need is
Northern settlers with money to
properly improve our lands, and
Northern settlers want to be near
railroads.
1t is not probable that there will
be any more broad gauge railroads
of any considerable length built in
East Tennessee after the Cincinnati
Southern is finished, though the
managers of that road may extend
a short line to connect with Knox
vile, and it may be a matter of
doubt if for many years there will
be room for any others. Even the
re-chartered Knoxville and Augusta
might, with good judgment, try
narrow gauge line, at least to make
4 new commencement under the new
name Extension to Montvale
would add many a name to the reg
lister of that summer hotel, and a
little farther on iron beds of good
quality and great quantity can be
reached.
Every railroad built makes new
fields for the men we want in this
region; the immigrant with money,
and the intelligent Northern man
has long ago learned that the well
narrow gauge brings him
MS mail, affords him a chance for
.ravel and an outlet for his pro-
luce just as well as the we'll man
lged broad gauge. These roads,
90, would add greatly to the traffic
md travel on the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad. The
I'D fogy says it cJne5 to the road
anyhow in wagons. Some of it may,
out these lateral lines would create
lew sources of freight, would add to
he numbers of those who have to
:ravel. In the rough mountains of
Patrick county, Virginia, have lain
or years immense masses of iron
IRE, yet only a few days since mar
'ow gauge railroad wound its way
Up into those mountains and now
of car loads of the lately
Useless ore are shipped away every
month. At Big Greek Gap, Ten
lessee, ten miles from the Knoxville
md Ohio Railroad, is coal which
Ill persons of wealth would prefer
ven over the excellent Coal Greek,
tut it lies there unknown except to
he geologist.
These roads can be built; every |
nan who has a farm in five miles of
ueh line can afford to help; six of
he counties of East Tennessee
lave one year more, under the Con-
to subscribe as municipal
'odies; the East Tennessee, Vir-
,inia and Georgia Railroad, with its
xcellent financial management, can
Iell afford to aid literally, while the
Tealthy gentlemen who own that
Dad and live in the North can add
o their own incomes and the value
f their property by taking or
