UNCLE GEORGEA.TILLMAN TEARS UP
THE SUB-TREASURY.
Ills Speech Accepting the l4omination for
Congress-A Trap for Southorn Farmers
--About "Our 11rethren of tio west
Handling Mactune Without Gloves.
AUOUSTA. Ga., Sept 25.-The follo w
ing is George D. Tillman's speech be
fore the nominating conventTn at
Aiken Friday as reported in the Au
gusta Chronicle:
Mr. Chairman, gentlemen ofjhe Con
ventionnndFellow-Citizons:--'or the
eighth time in succession have I had
the protid gratification to receive the
11omination of the people of this dis
trict for Congress. To say that I am
grateful and proud of it would be to
tell the simple truth. To be chosen so
'often as r-,resentative from this his
torical c. aty, to seri e longer than any
other co' .ressman in this State, a dis
frict one represented by Calhoun and
his distinguished successors, says a
great deal either for me or for the peo
ple of ti "m district, or for both. I a in
not vain ough to take this display
of regard as evidence of any ability in
me, but because you have faith in me.
Ye Alow that I will serve you to the
best of my ability, and under no cir
eumstances betray your trust.
What adds to this gratiflcation is that
I have been chosen during most trying
times. We have just come out of a
war. We have been plundered ever
since we were conquere(. but all con
quered p2ple must,sitffer. Unfortu
nately wo ave an unfortunate race in
our midst, -whom our enemies have
Sought to raise to our standard, or
rather level, us to theirs. I am sorry to
say you ar.(! a conquered peoplg, and
your enemies are trying to see how far
negroes can be made into whiter men,
how iar a people can be taxed and pay
tribute to the conqueror and survive.
The harder the agricultural class
works, the more self denial they prac
tice, tie poorer they get. The reason
of itis the higher taxes you must pay
to go out in pensions. ligh taxes
don't Impoverish a people provided
they are spent among the people who
pay them, but when they are paid out
to another peo pe the one who receives
grows riche r. as Ireland is impov
erished to enrich England you are
being imiproverished to enrich the
North, but the taxes they pay they get
back in appropriations and pensions.
You pay between forty and fifty mil
lions a year taxes simply because you
were on the wrong side. Your chil
dren must continue to pay these taxes
and your grand children. Neither the
sub-treasn ry-nor any other device can
stop it. There is too much taxationl
an( toolittle money in circulation to
meet the taxes. You ought to do all
you can to have an income tax to the
rich men of the North. The last
owns thr West and South. They own
all the rail roads. There aro 34 char
tered roads in South Carolina and the
citizens of the Stato do not own a ma
jority of tihe stock. in any and the
tracks all go one way.
By the time you meet the interest on
your debts and pay your taxes and
fixed charges there is not enough
money left to bring fair prices on yonr
producUs. You want an income tax,
and you wa"nt to abolish the tax on
whiskey and tobacco. I (10 not mean
to have free whiskey andl tobacco, (1
see one friend shiflice his headl over
there) but to get rh(i of the horde of
official vermin who go aroundl andl
smell your bottles and nose around
your tobacco and whb as much as say,
help yourself, It you dare. Let the
State and tihe counties andl cities get
the benefit of the whiskey andi tobacco
tax.
I am sorry I can not go into a long
speech on the sub-treasury andl give
y ou something better than that bill1.
You ought to issue more money. If
you do niot t.he North will own you
body and soul. TPhey own the Wecst too.
but the WVest is more bit ter against tihe
South thanl It Nortih is. Tihey put a
tax on Southern cotton seed oil so
that it will be fit for nothing but ma
nure. Where were your Western sub
.treasury friends when Congress taxed
your cotton seed oil; when it added :300
per cent.on your cotton ties; when that
infamous force bill was passed, and
when the WVest refused to vote for free
silver.
It is sickening to see the South tn]k
about forming a political alliance with
the WVest. It is not worth while to go
into details about the sub-treasury.
(Cries of go on; tell us all about It.)
Well, I will tell you about it.
Mr. Tillnmn then recited the pro
visions of the bill. Continuing ho
said:
It is paternalism anti protection run
mad, it is a proposition to let the gov
ernment take care of your crop and(
after a while tell you bow to run IL.
Hampton andl Colleton wouldl not get
a ware house.
A Voice--But does not the hill pro.
.vide that two or three countties tma.y
combine and get a ware house ?
Mr. Trillinanm-- Yes, but it stipuilates
that you Imust carry y'our produce to
the nearest ware houser.
McCurie is the originator~ of that bill.
Hie is a reformedi Republican, who fail
at dentistry in Indiana. floated about
California for a whilie, anti linally wenlt.
down to Texas, where ho mainipulb-~d
Alliance money.
Is there any justice in taxing other
industries to build warehouse for the
products of the farmers. The Alliance
professes equal justice to all and special
favors to none. If that aint special
favor what is it?
*' Two Republicans framed that bill.
There Is no Democracy in It. It is a
bridge to carry the Democratic party
over, horse, foot andi dragoon, Lu the
Republican party. it provides for the
election of warehouise muanagers. but.
the constitution Bays federal oflicera
must be appointed and not elected, anid
yon know whom the Republicans will
a ppoint, it says there shall be an elec
tion to decide..whore the warehouses
shall-be built. It will be at federal elec
tion, not a State election. T'he negroes
would v'ote, and whites would divitle
Wold not that be a nice state of
-affairs? Then there would be lots of
stealing and embezzling; cotton would
disal.pear, and therv wmtilt be litiga
tion. Soi of you might take a liti.le
too mnuch whiskey and got into lights;
you would be onl Vederal ground. All
would have to be tried in the United
Statt)4 court. You could not bring
them into your own courts. There Is
no more chance for that bill to pass
than there is to pass a bill to build a
tower to the moon.
There were only two congressmen
who were avowed supporters of the
sub-treasury bill. They had their pa
pers as law ers annulled, but the Alli
aice thought they were too enthusias
tic, and (lid not nominate them for
imother term.
The most stuipid thing to me in tUe
whole bill is that 80 per cent. advanced
m products in the early part of the
ycar and at the latter end of the ye.r
he ioney is burned. What you need
s more money, all the Lime to keep
prices up and keep them steady.
The bill was gotten i) by a com
iittee of three--a dreamer, a spectila
;or and a scurvy politician-who want
3d to provide a popular scheimo for
)roken down politicians. Senator
Vanco introduced it into the Senate by
request. He was silent about it for
'our months, anl at the end of which
.imne he demotnced it. In the mean
ino though the Alliavece papers and
,ranmp orators.rled it aload that Sena
.or Vance endorsed it, and what Sena
,or Vance endorses is right. Mr.
HIemphill has whipped it out in his
listrict. In Georgia all the strong
politicians went back in spite of it.
Iwo of them did not seek another
terim. Miajor Barnes was not defeated
mi account of it, but onl account of the
prejudico of country against the city.

politicians from prostituting it. Stand

nen and measures, but not as a secret

It is time I should close. though I

Le said against this preposterous hutm
bug.
If the West is being robbed by the
East they will comie to us. At the No.
veimber elections we will see whether
the West Is inclined to unite with ui.
Don't H'i In too great a hurry. We
were in a liirry in '650, but% we have
beenl repenting it ever since. Wait and
ee if the West will come to us.
Put an income tax on the wealth of
the East. There are four reasons why iT

F is a crude, i mpracticable, lepublican,
Iiconstitutional measure.
Livingstone, Polk, McCune and two
>r three others were pit upon the leg
slative committee at the St. Louis
neeting to su;ggest the outline of the
neasure, but McCuno and- Waddill
irafted it. The live cents you send up
,hero will go. They must pretend to
be doing something to earn those big
salaries they are getting.
Tr. Thomas Whittle, in the audience,
r>bjected to Mr. Tillman's attacks on
MCCune A i. He said he was going
to vote for him, but he did not think it
fair to run those men dwi.
Mr, Tilhiani--I admire your pluck.
Mr. Whittle-I admire yours.
Mr. Tillman-Thien it Is im itual ai
miration.
l r. 'l'illmin continued his di.cission
:>f thl sub-treasury. Distillets he sai d
furnished their own warehouses, the
governmeit fiurished the watchmen
nd the guagers only.
Mr. Whittle thought the farmers
ihould have the same advantages.
Mr. Tillmau-Can two wrongs make
i right?
Mr. Whitthe-Then remedy that.
Mr. Tillman-That's what I've eeh
trying to do.,
A LITTLE EXCITEMENT.
At this jumicture there was a little
LXcitement created. Captain Nlarkert
arose to ask Mr. Tillman to0 explain
how the Federal oficeers wouldl handle
the farmers' cotton and jokingly re
marked about Mr. Whittle's i nterrup
ions.
Mr. Whittle took offence and saidt
that lie was a native born South Care
linlaai and Captain Markert was not.
Mir. Ale.x White, who knew Captain
Markert's war record to lie as goodl as
that of any native born South Caroli..
in andl better thamn even somne of the

WAf311INGTON, Sept. 2 m.ul x rittes
after the Republicans In tho IIouse
voted to seat Langston thoy turned out
Col . Wm1. ElNliott an"d gavn his plac,e to
Tom Miller. The haste Ii disposl r.iml of
the South Carolina contest was as bru
tal as it was unprecedentil. It was
after 1 o'clock to-day before enough Ue
publicans put in an appoarance to m ake
uip a quorum.
The Doiocrat,s remained out of the
hall and consequent.l,' there was no o
to demand a roll-vall but Mr. O'Ferrall,
aud his request had no vail with 10ri
hot-headed partisans. As soorn as the
preseuce or a qIuorim va announced
Langston was voted in by a viva voce
vote. The greatest confusion prevalled
in the meantime, as tho galleries wero
crowded with nezrovs enthiusiastic for
Langstori. 'I'ie Itepublic-an rmemhers
were equally n\ild and uncontrollable
and the yelling and stamping of feet
was territic when Speaker Rect(d declar
ed Langston entit led to a seat as IlLe
presentative from tho thi Virginiaj
district.
Amid shouts and applause Iangston
was sworn in. The Ieptublicans thei
shouted wildly to the conoittco on
elections to call up the next case, whic
was the Miller-Elliott contest. 'heIre
was no debate and the reading,- of the
Committee resolutions was eve i omllit
ted, so despvrate was the inajority and
so eager were they for 1)moratic
seal ps.
Mr. O'Ferrall and several Republi
cans protested against such suumary
proccedings, but Speaker Reed ieedel
them not, ana without. ermitting a di
vision declared 'Tom Millor a liepre
sentativ(e of the 71 h Con gresio-;al dis
trict of South Carolinul, vif( El liott.
'he following is the details of the
proceeding by which Congressmen
Venable and Elliott were robbed of
their seats :
Mr. O'Ferrall was the only Democrat
in the chaner thi.3 morning dutrin!

immediately hegan the call of the roll
on the approval of Friday's 'JoIrnal.

Mr. O'Ferrall replied that he had

Mr. Taylor inqiired wihe! her the

whencu he was s*a tedl by t he)0 Democratic

Mr. O'Ferrall retorted tlhat keeping

and that the Decmocratic Congress had
vindiencted imi.
AiIr. Tlaylor :'"The only evildence that
you hadl the right to tih' sent wvas that

Mr. O'Ferrall :"It would ibe well to

the cloak room aid v'ictorious shouts
from the Ilipublicans mil ex pressions
