Tillman on New Subjects
His Views on Immigration?
What he Makes Lecturing.
Barnwell special in yesterday's
C.iarlntte Observer: Ther.? w^ie
two new features to churn terzSenator
Tillman's sp ech n;-tJ.?\.
While he favored hiinging in o
the State desirah e" white immigrants
from the n? rtb of Europe
\ nnd from the Biiti^h I-wes t"
settle on farms and live ill the
towns so as to increase the white
population and thus help solve
the race problem and for the
purpose of haying the newcomers
improve the soil, he said
it was next to impossible to acomplish
this because immigration
is along isothermal lines and for
the further reason that wages
paid in this part of the country
do not attract desirable foreigners
lie did not want the cotton
mills to get any relief in the
form of chean Italian or othor
foreign labor to crowd out the
native help. He thought cotton
mills, generally speaking, were
good things, but he did not want
to see foreigners brought in to
displace the home people merely
to swell the dividends of the
Yankee stockholders.
The other new feature was the
' Senator's confiding in the crowd
how much he was making out
of his speechmaking in the
North, lie said he had delivered
about 100 lectures in the north,
and that "It tickled him to
death to make these Yankees
pay him $100 to $200 a speech
to have him deliver them the
gospel according to South Carolina
on the race question "
