He has put us on the down grade. Matters are serious and under his Adminis tration they are growing worse very fast. By his bad manage ment of the phosphate interest the estimate is he will have lost the State $168,000 on royalty at the end of the fiscal year March, 1892. When he went into office the bonds of the State were at a premium of about 5 per cent Now they are worth only 93 cents on the dollar. By their depreciation he has lost the State about $700,000. The pub lic debt, amounting to millions of dollars, is due next year and will have to be paid or refund ed. Georgia refunded her debt at 3 per cent and ours ought to be refunded for the sameorless. The signs are a Tillman Ad ministration cannot refund it except at a high interest, if at all. Capitalists have no confi dence in an Administration headed by a man who recently said: “I did a great deal of blowing last summer. I don’t recollect all I said.” Blowers rever inspire confidence in any body. When the Legislature, realiz- incr the scarcity of money and the straits to which the people are reduced, extended the time for the payment of taxes to the 20th of February, Tillman re fused to approve it. He is in a soft place. He has feathered his nest and cares not a stiver now for the people, only for their votes. He saw very differently wdien he had no glo\ es. In the campaign of 1890 Till man denounced all who receiv ed free passes on the railroads as bribe takers and said they were “tamed.” He must have been “blowing.” It is alleged that he rode on free pass No 1, and the railroads and expresi companies carried everything free for him, and he has not denied it. By his silence he pleads guilty. The Legislature fixed him on the free pass busi ness. He has to pay now like other people when he rides on the cars; hence his abuse of the members of the Legislature in his speech a few nights ago at Laurens. He is mad. He calls for a Legislature of henchmen to execute his orders. As the Executive if he can he will seize all the powers of the other de partments of the Government and use them for his own bene fit. His ambition has crazed him. He aspires to be a Pala tine. Popular government with such men in office cannot long survive. In his speech in Lau- In nine States where, for con stitutional reasons, no appropri ations have been made, organi zations of citizens are raising $1,030,000. The aggregate of the States is expected to reach $5,000,0(H). The United States Government has appropriated $1,600,000. The Exposition Company has raised $5,721,230.
