Some few years ago it was quite
an easy matter to apportion TO each


section OF this mighty Continent
its various sources of wealth to the
New England States belonged the
industries TO the West the raising
of wheat. and to the South the pro-
duction Of the cotton, but as the
country has developed, the minds of
| all shrewd business men have been
opened to the necessary OF combin-
ing manufacturing enterprises with
agricultural pursuits; the West was
the first to adopt the necessity Of
producing goods In proportion TO
what was grown within her districts,
for she found out she never derived
any benefit or reciprocation from
the importation Of the articles she
paid so dearly for in the East.
Apart from the mere question of
gain, it is one of the first principles
Of political economy tc diversity as
much as possible the different chan
nels in which labor is employed and
so of late years it has dawned upon
the .Soath that so long as she con-
tinued to plant cotton and make it
her chief source of occupation, she
could only attract TO her territory
the very poorest class of field labor;
for from statistics il has clearly been
shown that the cotton iaborer very
rarely is able to earn anything over
and above his actual expenses, and
fNf
to spend does nothing for the open
ing up or progress of that section In
whice he is working.


The contrast has been very mark
ed between the farming hands of the
cotton States and the worlzmen in
the manufacturing districts; 10
this end the South has been obliged
to push forward her utmost energies
in encouraging everything that tend
ed to promote her future wealth
and so has determined to appropri-
ate certain share in the rapid
growth, the United States has made
in manufactures. which have doubled
within the last ten years. The
finan cial crisis of 1873 did q great
deal of good to the South, as while
all industries were at stand still
North. suffering as they did from
the encumbrances of debt contracted
in prosperous times, the few cotton
factories that had been erected in
the South, were all doing a most
successful business. In Tennessee.
Alabama, Georgia and Texas, mill
property to this day is paying large
dividends; the only way TO keep
trade ever on the increase, is to
create new activity, the moment it
is discovered that certain other To-
calities are outstripping the South
of her legitimate occupation, the
spinning as well as the growing Of
cotton. The great drawback to the
advancement of manufacturing en-
terprse Is that both States and mu-
nicipal laws prevent the untrammeIed
execution of local energy. and while
of course, it is very difficult for leg
islators to see that the wealth OF
their various sections depends upon
the self-supporting capacity or their
inhabitants, still it is an essential
point to inspire due encouragement
to build up every kind ofenterprise,
instead OF pulling it down by strin.
gent taxes, for the amalgamation Of
agricultural and manufacturing pur-
suits is the only way for any people
to acquire permanent wealth and
retain a lasting Independence,

the gradual extinguishment of the d ebt.
This, with the constitutional prohibit
ton which they are informed is now ex-
isting, that ''no debt can be incurred by
the State for the creation or in aid of
any public improvement" will give
augmenting value to the new bonds, and
SO far tend to mitigate the loss which
the creditors incur.
The consideration that the decision of
his momentous question by State so
distinguished in cha racter and position
as Tennessee, will exert unbounded in
huence upon the other States, gives i'm
measurable responsibility both to this
award and to it's adoption Yet the
committee confidently present it with
the belief that while it is best for her
creditors, it is also best for the State,
and that it will remove the greatest
sbstacle that now stands in the way of
the prosperity of the whole nation. And

this city with tall man driving
white horse-two other men riding
in the rear of the vehicle. The party
came to house of doubtful reputation
on the road to Minneapolis, and then
turned off into an unfrequented road

The country, says the Albany Argus,
never possessed so many beautiful mar
riageable young women as it does at the
present time. And why do we not have
more marriages? We answer, because
marriage for love is the exception and
not the rule. The young people of
this age have gone out of fashion and
are money mad. If the dandy bank clerk
who pays one-half of his income for
board and the other half for clothes can
improve bis condition he will marry.
The shop girl who earns good wages and
can not be distinguished BY her dress
from the bankers daughter, certainly
will not plunge into matrimony unless
she can better her condition in life. If q
man is fortunate enough to possess
money, 1t matters not how old or ugly
he may be, hundreds of intelligent

whom are over forty wears OF age.

sent from here, asking u better descrlp-

which fill the description in every
particular. AS is but natural, Horace b.
