How to Make Tennessee Prosper,


Maj. VIM. J. Sykes thus closes a
letter to the Memphis Appeal ::
THE only thing that can now be
done is TO devise ways and means
to reduce the debt and to make it
less Cumbersome to the people.
The improvement of the country,
the erection of furnaces and facto-
ries. the opening of coal mines and
ore banks, making navigable our
rivers, the proper regulation of
railroads, the wise management of
our penitentiary, the making OF
good public roads, the reform IN
our Judiciary system-these will
do more for the State than the
constant agitation of the State debt
question. which has absorbed cv-
erything else AVID prevented such
wise and wholesome legislation as
would have saved the State far
more than the whole amount Of
the debt tax. Let there hereafter
be no divisions among us let the
words high tax and low tax and
State credit and Reputation be
oblitcratcd from the vocabulary
of Tennessee politics let us unite
upon practical, live measures and
put our State upon the onward and
upward march Of progress and inn
provcmcnt.
