jllnotbillc dOlcchln Mh$ ant (Chronicle: (UUimcsD;ii, September 1, 1875 in m 1 1 iimiimuviuAiut , Jifimpiiai (Continual from Sr.coml Pafe.) pitting what is to be found in Kngland, mado rich toy lier vt dcpoits. or .Nttmlfti, or the pnmcd mountniin nf Missouri, in convenient roach, are vat stores of con! laid up for use in goulojrii'iil Hire Rst, by the forco of tlio saino Renin! inn tlmt now invites you to put forth nil your cnrrKiento utilize its efforts in your service. Nowhero in tho world is to be found such abundance nd variety of mineral deposits. Nuwhcro does bounteous naturo so invitingly per suade man to tax his em-rpies and procure for himself all the blessing of wealth. And let not tho moral if t say that wealth is to bo dospisrd : thut'tnan is so exalted in being as to be superior to its degrading in fluence. It is not degrading nor to be de spited. It ministers to our pleasures, in creases our comforts, multiplies our re sources, commands for uspolitcnl influence and that consideration so gratifying to just pride and laudable ambition. It provides for us the leisure that givos opportunity for tho cultivation of tho affections, tho devel opment of the intellectual faculties, and the enlargement of the boundaries of knowledge. The Statn that is rich is pow ful : its voice will bo heard, its counsels will be heeded. How shall we Jus a people acquire this wealth, and thus secure to ourselves and to those who will come after u. The blowings that follow in its train, and the ability, with out daily sacrifices of all the comforts of civilized lilo, to bear the great burtlo n of the debt that weighs so heavily upon us. Thoro is no royal way by which wo can attain to wealth. Our genial climate, our fertile soils, our great deposits of iron and coal, will not of thomselves become active workers, and lay wealth ns a trihuto at our feet. In the Providence of (iod. and ac cording to his decreo, made tlio inexorable law of our being, there is but ono way by which it may bo acquired, and that is by labor, and by the exercise of tho virtues of frugality and economy. In that way, and by that alone, have other people become rich. To labor, bard, unwearying, ever ac tive, ever constant, wo are indebted for all that makes life pleasant; for our cultivated lands and smiling lieids, and happy homes. Via aro indebted to it for tho art that em bellishes civilized life; tho science that subdues naturo to our wills, and for tho philosophy which throws its radiance upon the dark snndows of this extttenco. No brilliancy of intellect, nor snlendor I or genius can supply the iilaco ol woik; the groat men, tho succc&stul mon of the world, those who have borno down nil op position, and movjd steadily forward to the consummation of great oritcrpri-cs ; those who.hqve builded cities, have establish ed empires, or founded dynasties: those who have distinguished themselves by useful inventions, liavo mado great discoveries in science and philosophy or whoso names have boeomo immortal by their great ac tions, without exception, have been great workers. May I not, on this occasion, illustrate my full meaning by referring to ono who spent the early ilujs of his life, and the maturer years of his manhood, in your midst; whoso struggles and disappoint ments and great successes are familiar to you all. To him, who, a poor tailor boy, cast upon the world without friend, illit erate to the degree, that when ho entered upon man's estato lie could not write his name; spent thet'ure wrested from tho ne cessity of unintermitting labor not in idle ness, but in painful effort to gain some lit tle of that knuwlcdgo denied to him by ad verso fortuno, but freely bestowed upon others, reared under happier auspices. His life was a life of toil, and this toil brought to him his great reward. From poverty be reached to w ealth and comfort, .From ignorance he climbed to the heights of knowledge. From obscuri ty he liftod himsolf to the greatest ot earth ly positions ; and now has gone down to the grave, honored by forty millions of his countrymon. What an example to tho young men who may listen to mo to-day I How encour aging tho lesson to all of every age I With such possibilities, in this alone, of all the governments on earth, wo should be taught to prize more highly our free democratic institutions. I have said that by labor, supplemented with tho virtues of frugality and economy, wo may becoino rich. This is not a mere opinion unsupported by facts. Your knowl edge of successful men establishes tho props osilion as regards persons ; as to commun ities il is proven by statistics. Vie have seen that Massachusetts, Con necticut, Khodo Island and Now York are rich and we are. poor. This unequal distri bution of wealth is not the result of chance. The Creator has left nothing to chance. His government in the moral and social, as in the physical wwld, is a government of law. All is regular; all obedient to His will. As we conform to that will, and subject our selves to His laws, we have tho right to look for the rewards that Ho offers to obe dience. Now, the rich communities, of which 1 have spoken, have not a more genial sun, nor more fort'le soils, nor more valuable mineral deposits then wo enjoy. Indeed, nature has not not been to thrxe so kind as to us. Tneir men have not greater strerfgth, or natural capacities of any kind. What is the cause f r this disparity ? Tho census returns, to which I have re ferred, nll'jrds much curious and interest ing information in regard 10 our people. Among other things, it tells us who aro at work and who aro idle; who and how many aro creating wealth, and who and how many are drones in the busy hivos of industry. From these roturns wo find that in Khodo Island 40 per cent, of tho population, in Massachusatts B'.t per cent, in Connecticut 80 per cent., in Now York til. per cent, were cngagod in 1KT0 in gainful occupation, while only JK) porcont. ot tho people of Tennessee wore so engaged. In other words, in overy one hundred persons we have eleven more idlers than they have in Khodo Island, ten inoro than in Massachusetts, seven more than in Connecticut, and live more than in New Y'ork. Wo have only ifJ persons in every 100, or, to givo exact numbers, o'i7, 0M at work, and 8'.l0,5o3 who aro idle but this larger number includes the aged and the intirin, the women and children. But not alono in physical sloth havo we disobeyed the law of our being. God made man in His own image, and by so doing gave to him not only moral, but intellectual faculties, mind to observe, capacity to think ana intolligei.tly to direct bis obedi ence to the command, that by tho sweat of his brow he shall earn his bread. Now, a simple consideration of tho war.tsofman, us he exists in civilized society, will make pluin to us that we have not rightly used our faculties. Man not only requires food for tho body, but food for the mind, and, superadded to thiSj requires clothing to protect him against the cold of wintur and tho bents of a summer's sun ; and that he may exact from a generous soil its willing tribute to his wants, he needs beasts of the plow and implements of husbandry, and tu all these, if he would soil that which ho docs not con sume, and buy that which he does not pro duce, ho must havo ships and steamers, and locomotives and tho railway. All tlie.e are necessary to supply his daily wants, and all shoi.id bo supplied as cheaply as possi ble If tho conditions by which ho is sur rounded forbid that the articles necessary to his use shall bo created in tlio place where they aro to be consumed, direct labor is required in their transportation, and ac cumulated labor or capital for tho construc tion of ships and vessels and highways to oar those articles to him. lint, as stated, Hi is transportation costs labor that labor nust have its reward, for it is a law of pro diction that labor unrewarded will cease its exertion. To save, then, this cost ; to prov'ulo Iho comforts of life as cheaply as possible, every community should, as far as practi cable, niako what it consumes tho bread and iho meat, tho hats and boots, and clothing, and farming implements and machinery of every kind. Hy again looking to the census returns, we discover that we have not made the etl'ort to supply all our wants. Wo have devoted ourselves too exclusively to the cultivation of the soil. in all til 0 United States there were in 1HT0 twelve m i 1 1 ion five hundred ami five thou sand persons 1 1 i ;M", i1.:) exactly) engaged in gainful oecupatioi s ; of this number, 0,9ZOiiO were ti lers of the soil, producing cotton and tobacco, grnss, the cereals, food of every kind, whilst in all other pursuits, that is, in the professions, in mining and manufacturing, in commerce and trade, were to be found G.08:!,(t. persons. Now, in the secession fSta es, including Kentucky, containing at that time a total population of 10 Kiln, 1 UK 1, 2.ii'.,-,,(j0 persons were engaged in agriculture, and only !'2U00 in all other pursuit!. Hut in the remainder of the State', hav ing a population of 27,307,000, only S,"227, OUO were employed as agriculturists, and &,IjoO,000 were otherwise employed. And considering tho total population of tho I'nited States, its accumulated wealth was $:;0,lHy,!)lft.lsll; but of this aggregate the 12 secession States named, with a popu lation of lO.HlJSOO I. no-ses-ed olilv :' "I - 000,000, and the remaining States, with a population ol '2, '!,. '.) 1 persons, mm 72-",f00,(X. '1 he .n ori.go wealth oftlio in habitants of nnc action being about IfiO.OO, and of tho other nearly $l,WO.OO. Hut limiting the comparison, and looking lo our own State ami Massachusetts, we And that wo had Wn.020 of our people en gaged in agriculture, in mining and man ufacturing 2'J.Oil, in trade and transporta tion 17,010; when Massachusetts, with a population exceeding our own by '200,000, had only 72,810 persons engnged in agricul ture, 2.'2.fiij in inaiiuf.'ictiiring anil mining, and 8H.07S in trade and transportation. New York, with a population of 4,:H2,0OO, morn than three times our own, had only .17'1,3I tillers of the soil, while tho remain der of her 1.4'.i,018 working sons and daughters had other pu suits. It is unnecessary to refer to the returns exhibiting tho profits made in these States In the different pursuits. Tho story is told by a glance at tho tables of accumulated wealth. Tho disparity may in some degree be ascribed lo the ravages of war, the di-tract-ed political condition of thosecession States, to the now system of labor not yot adapted to existing conditions: but after making allowances for their full effect, we aro still forced to the conviction that tho chief and controlling causes are the varied industries of tho richer States, thoir industrious habits and greater conformity to tho laws of nature in the application of labor to the supply of the wants of mankind. SVe know that tho labor of Georgia, Mis sissippi, Alabama and Arkansas has been ch icily directed to the production of cotton, and that the people ot those Mutes l ave mainly depended upon other communities for their daily and necessary supply ot bread and of meat, of clothing, and imple ments of husbandry. Wo of Tennessee, Kentucky and Vir ginia, not relying upon a single production, make our own bread and meat, and lo some extent havo engaged in the manufactureof articles in daily use. In tlio INorlh and West are nrodueed bread and meat for the South and for Europe, tools and imple ments ot husbandry, and various articles of handicraft and machinery which we and tho South buy from them. But in tho Northeastern htates all tho various produc tions are combined : labor is applied to the culture of tho soil, to tho manufacture of articles ot cotton and wool, ot wood and of iron, and to the navigation ot ships. 1 hey are a commercial ind trading aswollasa manufacturing and agricultural people. Tho combination of two or more of these forms of labor requires that labor shall be well rewarded: in other words, demands intelligent labor. Hence, with these varied productions wo find associated school houses and schools, and a people almost without exception able to read intelligently tho thousands of newspapers and magazines and books, ic, published to meet their in tellectual wants. We thus see that dear labor is cheap labor, in that it promotes the interests of tho em ployer as well as tho laborer, and tends to the improvement 01 society. e want, tho good ot the Mate demands. an intelligent population. For this end, wo must nave a system ot public and tree in slruction for all the youth of tho land not supported grudgingly, but heartily; main tained not with narrow parsimony, but with generous liberality. YV e musi nave, moreover, grammar schools and colleges, and lastly universities. for those fitted lo becoino thinkers, invent ors, teachers and statesmen. W e have begun tho work in every part cf our be loved State; let us push it forward to a glorious consummation. But obedience to tho natural laws that govern the adaptation of labor to the wants and necessities ol mankind, is more inr reaching in its consequences. Tho Old World is full to overflowing with active, intelligent men, whose thoughts by day and by night aro how to improve their own condition and make the pathway of lifeless rugged to their child ren. Thoir attention, naturally, is directed to this New World of ours, whero merit is sure 10 receive iisjust, rewaru , wuero in telligent skill will find employment, and labor secures to him who employs it, com fort and happiness. In seeking a new homo, tho immigrant, with no other .'capital than his intelligent skill, his brawny arms and brave heart, looks not where nature has been more lavish in hor bounties, but-where his skill will bo appreciated, and Ins toil will meet with a just recompenco. Accordingly it agriculture be bis occupa tion ha will search for cheap lands, easy to bo brought into cultivation, with railways extending their willing arms to bear to suitable markets tus grain and cattle and grass. If an artisan, ho will find a home in more densely populated regions, where is to be beard the din and hum ot engines, and water wheels of mills, and looms. And whorever ho may go will expect the school houso to bo ever onen. that his children may be instructed and lilted for the great battle of life. Tho correctness of theso assumptions, is established by the same census returns to which I nave already so often referred. 1 will not weary you by going into details, and will simply stato the fact, that of overy nine inhabitants of the Stato of Massachu setts, two were born in foreign countries, and two-filths of tho entire population have one or both parents of foreign birth. In Now York inoro than ono-fourth tho peo ple aro of foreign birth, and more than one- half have one or both parents, that wore onco foreigners. 1 might givo other illus trations of the same kind in regard to Rhode Island and Connecticut and Iowa and other States. It is sufficient to say, however, that of the 38,500,003 persons in tho United States, moro than o,500,000 aro of foreign birth, and that of this vast addition to iho population of the whole country, Tennes see received only ( 10,310) nineteen thousand threo hundred and sixteen. But not only has a demand for intelligent labor, and remunerating rewards given this direction to the stream ol immigration from abroad, but it has been fearfully against us, by calling our people to leave their homes and seek other and more inviting lieids. The same consus returns, w hen closely ex amined, show that Tennossoo has sent out from hor borders 411,725 of her sons and daughters to these States and Territories, and that they have given back to hor in ex change only 210,680, thus making a clean loss in population of nearly two hundred thousand. But Massachusetts has gained by Immi gration from abroad and from other States, over the loss by emigration. 810,274 per sons. What an addition to the wealth of Massachusetts, what a loss of wealth to Tennessee ! What a reproach to our statesman hip. is tho cor, temptation of these farts! We should bow our he-id- in liuuiiliation, and yet should resolve tdat the stain upon our wisdom and patriotism hall he removed. In the struggles and lie its (f political strilr, we have In.-t sight of o,r iiimei iil interests. Wo have been laggard in Uie di-rbargeof our social duties, and now aro left far be hind by Ohio, and in some rases, by newer communities. that with praelii al good sens' , or else blessed with greater good fortunes, not rent and torn by the pa-sions engen dered by our great civil war, have directed their efforts t the building up of their in dustries and the accumniulntion of weal'h. Let us resolve, gentlemen, that in the fu ture we will unite the efforts of men of all opinions, without regard to illerence in the past, for tho woi k of establishing our industrial systems upon a sure and firm foundation, and in accord with tho great laws that govern us as social beings, Let our industries be varied according to tho condition, and to meet the wants of every locality. L"t our cot ton, and wool, and leather bo made into fabrics at home, for the u-e of own people and other". Let our mountain and hill bo forced to yield up their treasures of marble, of iron and of coal. Let our great marls of commerce l-e strengthened and builded up; hy demanding that the great highway of the South shail bo constructed, and that the valley of the mighty M ississippi shall be protected against invading floods. Let the husbandman till his fields with re newed hope and energy, confident that he will find consumers at homo for all the earth may bring forth. Thus, gentlemen, wo will b able to moot the pressing demands that year by year will he made, in .discharging tho obliga tions that rest upon us, and sustained by the elastie energies of a froo democracy, without regard to tinpropitious bounties, to defective revenue svsteni and faultv cur rency projects, wo will bo able to advance tho prosperity ot the Mate, and secure nap py liomos for ourselves and for our chil dren. Let 11 cease from our bickonngs, and adopt "our policy as our politics." Never losing sight of the cardinal principles of the Constitution and the great fundamental laws that underlioour system of govern ment, let us learn to tolerate differences of opinion and recognize tho fact that wo aro all Jennesseeans all interested in tho tu turo of our beloved Stato. And now, as tho Centennial of the Ke- public begins to dawn upon us, let us oiler, as a sacritlco upon the altar ol our cotiv mon country, and and if for no nobler pur pose, for tho sakoof a common interest, all tho hates and bittern) ss forged in the tierce conflict, and kindled into a burning heat in the flames of civil war. This is now, and to bo for all time, our country. Horo will bo our homes, anil the homes of our children. Our mother. Ten nessee, needs tho brain and the muscle, the energy and enterprise, nnd above all, tho wisdom and moderation of all her sons. Wo havo nothing to gain in Christian charity, in fraternal love, in material pros perity or national stability by nursing tho footings that gavo birth to tlio struggle, or cherishing the animosities begotten in tho dread hour of battle. Let us forgivo and forget. Ah, no, wo can not forget tho achieve ments of tho brave men who, falling upon the field of battle, won for themselves and thoir country imperishable fame. We have a common pride in their names, immortal ized by great actions; whether they wore tho bluo or gray, their fame is the heritago of the whole pocplc. As n tribute to their value and manly virtues, and in token of our reconciliation we will erect a cenotaph at the capital of our Stat", to tell to our children through all coming time tho story of their con stancy, their courago and their heroic deeds.
