wliicJi has already been published.
I'lie vsolutioii was adapted.
The sixth resolution a loplo l witliM.it
debate.
Mr. Tiiltunn said that the ilrs;. question
which a proposition to ostabli-h an Agncuiturtil
College st vrtcd in the mitt 1 of any one was."
will it increase the taxes?" People were
very sensitive on this subject, and it must bo
remembered that the convention was not a
Legislature, which c inhl impose a tax for thipurpose,
but that wc would have to go back t>
the people and lay these propositions before
them, and induce theni to >end men the
Legislature to carry out their views in thituatter.
If they believe that their burden ot
taxation was to be increased they would mo
vole for it. We would have, therefore, t" ust
a great deal of policy and "dodge round a
little. l!y getting the money through the lax
on fertilizers, the farmer would never know
that he was paying it, and oven if he was pay
ing fifty cents a ton <>n the fertilizer used,
apart l'roiu the benefits he derived froui tin
college, the purity secured in fertilizers woub
in itself more than compensate him.
' Mr- Dargan sprang up with considernbb
1 earnestness and said ho abhorred an iudircc
tax. and when it was deliberately proposed bj
the recognized leaders of the farmers" nio\e
niont to take out of tho pockets of the farnie
tin .in y f>r any purpose with >ut his knowledge
he would oppose it and advertise the farmers o
. this purpose. Such a proposition as this wa
wen caieuiuu,,i io mu me movement, an i 1
i was because he wanted this ctl'ort to succee'
that lie was earnest its his protest against utlei
ftnccs in this convention which were calculate
[ to injure its success, lie protected that he wa
actuated only hy the earnest desire to see sue
cess attend the present movement. and there
t fore he deprecated unytlrng which won! 1 an
i 11gouize the other classes of citizens at such ill
advised terms of abuse as had hecu directe
- agaiu-t the officers of the government an 1 law
. yera was calculated to do. The latter had hoc
, always true to the interests of the farmers an
t ready to help them. [A voice]: "They hav
e been well jai 1 for it. lie replied to tfi- '?
-aying with much -pirit that when our citizen
i? had been haled before the Federal courts an
their liberties exposed to the malice of a crui
l> political enemy, the lawyers of the State ha
L? nobly in the breach f o* their dclVn>e. an I t
j hi- knowledge not a lawyer of hi" Futility ha
! ever tiskc I or received a d >l!ar for the scrvi< .
Mr. Tillman disi'aimed that he ha I applic
i language of an oirensivc ?haracter to any <
tiic officers of the State, and that he hal >aly
short time since on t'ois tloor taken .u-ion t
