Analysis of Judge Merritt's De-
cisiOn.

In giving his decision Judge Merritt
makes clear the following points:
1. That the motives influencing
members of the Legislature cannot be
inquired into by him.
2. Courts have nothing to do with
pHrty platforms.
3. That the time to inquire into the
constitutionality of the third-coupon
section had not arrived.
4. That the 1908 act is not in con-
flict with section II, article 2 constitu-
ton, nor any other part Of the consti-
tuition.
5. The act does not interfere with
the collection of taxes for the school
fund.
6. That there are no merits nor
equities in the bill.
7. That if the application had been
made to him he would not have grant.
ed the injunction upon argument.

Warren COunty's Wealth.

Warren county has not the rich lands
adam ed to the growth of corn, cotton
and grain which some of the counties
of Middle Tennessee have, and conse-
,ouently she must use the other advan-
tages which nature has given her if she
would become one of the prosperous
counties Of the State. 1t is true farm.
ing pays well in some parts of the
.coAnty when it is well done, but there
are large portions Of the country where
it does not pay to grow corn, wheat
and other grains. Nature has supplied
this deficiency by placing within those
districts other sources of wealth, such
as water powers, timber iron, coal, etc.
But these sources Of wealth, like rich
lands, need cultivation and develop.
mept to make them profitable. Oul
people say they have not the capital to
harness water power and put it to work
to open coal mines and erect iron fur
naces. This may be true, but they
have, or ought to have, energy an(
tact to bring these great natural adj
vantages before capitalists, who are
now going about seeking Just such in
vestments.
Crisp's Springs within the last 81,
months have been converted from al
unimproved waste place into a pleasant
and popular summer resort, affording q
market fur all farm products and labor
20 many laborers. And just so with
every dollar spent by capitalists 10 oul
waters, water powers, coal and minera
wealth.

Maj. Sykes, in conversation, freely
expressed his views on the 1908 settle.
meut. He said he would much have
preferred different settlement, but
was satisfied that constituted as it was
that Legislature could not have passed
different one. He thought that the
interest ought to be funded up to July
1882 and none paid till Jan. 1883, and
especially as there is now lawsuit on
hands in reference to the settlement
that no debt tax should be collected this
yaar; that arrangements should be
made to effect this Immediately; that
the settle ment would stand, any at.
tempt to overthrow it forcibly would
result in great injury to the State.
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1881-07-23

This iSone of the reasons why we should
favor a speedy settlement of the entire
question. The merits or dement's of
an act must be determined by the act
itself, and not by the means used to
pass or defeat it.
EFFECTS OF A SETTLEMENT.
The effect of the settlement already
has been to re-establish confidence, to
restore credit, to stimulate enterprise,
TO bring money and other capital into
the State, to encourage immigration,
to cause the building Of factories and
furnaces in the different parts of the
State, and in short to produce a
feeling of bouyancy and confidence
in the future not felt before in years
past. The State appears to be enter
ing upon the upward and onward
march of Improvement and progress ;
and will so continue if this debt settle
ment should not be agitated.
Since the late election in 1880, when
there was such decided vote in favor
of maintaining the'credit of the State,
there has been a constant tendency 10
an upward direction. There is more
prosperity in the State than there has
! been for years. The State is making
an effort to rise from her low financial es
tate. There should be no attempt made
to drag her down lower than she was be
fore, for it is not to be disguised tina
there is danger, if the present settle
ment be set aside, of reputation Of tn,
entire debt.
t Because am opposed to public debt
! and in favor practically of low taxes
I advocate the doctrines contained in thi
D letter.
t Whether my Democratic friends vii
g heed my warnings it is not for me t
] say. l am, however, conscious of hay
ing done my duty to my party and
g my State, and l am content.
b / shall ever remember with pleasur
# the kindness have received from tn
!, the people of Warren county, irrespct
e i've of party. With the highest regar
d for you personally, l remain,
D Yours very truly,

If a man pays 81 State debt tax un.
der the 1908 settlement, how much
would he have to pay under Maj.
Sykes plan? Just 60 cents, very
likely only so cents, and our own peo-
pie would get all the interest and have
the convenience of the bonds as a me-
dunn Of exchange besides.
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1881-07-23

If man has no land and not over
$1,000 personal property assessed he
pays no State debt tai, even under the
1908 settlement. If he has a little
farm assessed at $500 he will have just
one dollar to pay. Had he not better
pay that with two bushels of apples or
one of wheat than be at daggers' points
with his neighbors about the 1908 in
fanny?
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1881-07-23

We invite the especial attention of
our readers to those parts of Maj.
Sykes letter in which he speaks of the
dangers of Federal interference caused
by refusing to ABIDE the decisions of
our State courts. Also to the danger
of increased and increasing corruption
as long as this debt question is to be
voted on either by the Legislature or
the people; and the value of credit to
a State in time of great calamity is a
fact that he makes strikingly forcible.
