Columbia Journal.] Inasmuch us Governor Tillman bos refused !© give out the figures of his first month’s statement of the Slate liquor dealing which would af ford the people an idea of what the enterprise is likely to do for the State The Journal has undertaken a compilation of estimated figures which will afford a pretty fair idea of what business the Dispeusary did up to the first of August. Taking the list of Dispensaries es tablished up to that date, mid adding five days to the date of the shipment of the stock from the State Dispen sary to obtain the approximate date of their opening, deducting Sundays from the calender and estimating the number of days they each operated at forty dollars per day, the result is as fol{ows: 1'LA.CE A NO DATE.

V 200 B | 80 $18860 lay is a liberal As fort; estimate for the average sales of the County Dispensaries, estimated by their reports of actual sales for the first few days, and up to the time when Governor Tillman piobibited them from giving out further infor mation, the figures given above may be token as a perfectly Mr basis for future estimates on the iucreasiug number of Dispensaries and the in creased cost, for they operate on parellel line. Dividing the total above by two in order to get the 100 per cent, profit claimed by the State, and it is found that $0,425.00 repre tents the firat montho profit from the .State monopoly of liquor. Now multiply that by twelve audit shows A total of $113,100 for the year. From this must be deducted the ex pense of the busiuess, us the above represents the total gross profit. Taking Governor Tillman’s own estimate of the cost of his constabul ary at $160 per day, the cost for a ytgcttflP bet found to be $46,050; twenty-eight county Dispensers at $1,000 will be $28,000; the same number of olerks at $600 per year ^ill make $16,700. Estimating the rent of the county Dispensaries at $25 per month, the total for this item will be $8,400. Turning to his tatement it is found that the State Dispensary shows a salary lift of $3, 413 per mouth or for the twelye months $40,990; insurance, which may be taken for the year, $784; United States revenue $860. Grand total, $142,764. It will be observed that this estimate only includes the main item of expense and ignores freight, fuel, drayage, stationery and printing, which must add very ma terially to the cost. In case any one wishes to extend the calculation the figures for these four items are given below as M taken from the governor’s pub- ent: ' ' “ f $7,76$. 66 Stationery, stamps and printing, 370 10 Ding, 268 57 What Leading Tapers Think of Financial Aflairs. Philadelphia Times: Four mil lions in gold arrived at'Now York yesterday. There is scarcely enough to go aronud, but thei'o is more on the way and we may be happy yet. Cleveland leader: Deposit yuur currency in'the bai.ks. It is ahso-. lately safe there, and the soomr Un people make up their minds to place it there the sooner this currency famine will be over. New York Advertiser: A steadi ness is noticed in the London mar ket. This foreshadows a steadiness in Wall street and means that ixm- don will soon be reaching out after American securities. Hartford Courant: Cold is com ing over by the millions from abroad and new currency is coming out at the rate of six million and a quarter a day. The great American public have their hats out aud are ready for it- Nashville American: There are good ti mes com mg. The great ileecy Southern stapio will bring into the United States during the season be ginning September 1 $30(),000,0tK; in gold. When the money rolls in how can stringency rule the land? St. Louis Globe: Gold is llow- iug into the country in steady streams, the gold reserve in the Treasury is expanding, the national bank circu lation is increasing, aud the premium on currency is close to the vanishing point. Now let Congress doits duty and all the financial clouds will soon roll by. Minneapolis Tribune: The skies are rapidly clearing and one of these fine mornings the country will wake up and find that it has just us many things to buy, just as many things to sell, just as much work to be done, and just as much money to perform the transaction with as it ever had. Springfield Register: There is no occacion for the fear or lack of confidence that keeps money out of legitimate business enterprises. It is a senseless scare that had its origin in operations of unscrupulous manip ulations of values in our large large cities. It will end in time, and if it brought disaster upon nj one but those who were largely re sponsible for it there would be no occasion for regret. Louisville Courier-Journal: A few weeks ago gold had almost en tirely disappeared from the customs receipts. Now there is more gold received at the custom houses than there has bee» for months before, There is an admirable index, and it clearly shows that confidence is stronger and that times are not as hard as many ignorant and timid S le have been foolishly fright- into ’believing them. Repeal the Sherman act and time will do the rest. Philadelphia Enquirer: Open up your stockships, unlock your vaults. Only cowards will run away at this time. Patriotism is demanded us much now as in •'Vfi or ’61. The man who locks up bis mousy is as bad as the Tory or bounty jumper. Business cannot be carried on unless money is allowed to circulate. Do not get ahumed. All will bo well if the people will lie reasonable. This country can be ruined or saved by the people who handle the money. Open your stockings. New York World: In brief, the panic of 1893 is over, and all that is needed for a quick and thorough re covery is that Congress shall remove the one chief clause of distrust with the least possible delay. The crops arc good and the foreign demand for our products is large. The busiuess of the country has stood the strain of monetrry stringency with an extra ordinary sturdiness which attests soundness. All that is needed to make prosperity sure is for Con gress to give to the country and to tie world a completely satisfactory assurance tltat every dollar of Ameri can money is to remain worth hundred cents.

The following from the Atlanta Constitution gives some good advice to the farmers when it says; “Let our farmers sell tneir cotton aaocgM) as it is ready ta market. A11 cotton gatbrted before frost will lose twenty pounds to the bale after it is ginned and packed if held any length of time. The farmer loses this when he holds his green cotton. Sell your cotton and get your money for it, pay your debts, if you owe any, auu stop interest. If you store your cotton aud pay interest on your debts and insurance and then lose twenty ]>onndsto thebaic, and finally have to sell it at lesser price in April than you can get in September, you bound to lose a- great deal.

The universal verdict of the trav eling public is that the Pullman Safety Vestibnled trains, running" every day, “and Sunday too,” via the C. H. & D. and Monon, between Oiocinuotj, Indianapolis and Chicago are without doubt “the finest on earth.” These trains were especially built by the Pullman Company for this service, aud embrace every im provement. Their magnificent coaches, luxurious smoking cars, superb sleepers, observation cars ami unexcelled dining car service, afford “all the comforts of home.” Leaving Cincinnati you pass through the beautiful Miami Valley, and for twenty-five mUes the double tracks run through the very front, door yards of the finest suburban homes in the country, ' Beyond Ham ilton and. upto Indianapolis, the line is noted for its scenic beauty. A stopover a* Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana, may be obtained by depositing your ticket, with the Secretary of the Commercial Club. This city is more worthy of a visit than almost uuy'other of its size in the West, and offers the greatest in ducements to traveler and tourist. Between Indianapolis and Chicago the line traverses the very best agri cultural and commercial territory, and the ride is one of unparallcd comfort aud beauty. Bear in mind that the C. II. &, D. and Motion Route trains all run via Burnside Crossing, from which {Kiint the Illinois Central suburban trains run direct to the World’s Fail- Fair grounds every moment. At Englewood connection is made with the electric cars, which run every five minutes to the grounds, but we recommend all persons'to go direct ly into the Dearbon Station, which is located in the heart of the city and from which all street car lines converge, then go directly by car or cab to your hotel or boarding place. First locate yourself; know where aud how you are to live while in Chicago. Get the locality (irmly fixed in your mind, befoyc going to the World’s Fair by any of the nu merous convenient ways; the cable cars, electric roads, elevated railroad, Illinois Central R. R., suburban trains and the steamboats afford am ple accommodations for all possible visitors, and is but five minutes ride from the business portion of the city to the grounds. Take your breakfrst down town, buy your lunch at the grounds and take your supper down town. If you follow, these suggestions you will save money. The facilities for serving lunch at the World’s Fair Grounds are extra ordinary and the prices are cheaper than at your own home, but breakfast and Slipper should be taken down town, or at your boarding house. The World’s Fair is already the most astounding and stupendous spectacle ever attempted by any people, aud a day’s visit will afford more delight and instructior than can he possibly obtained in any other way or by the" same expenditure of kV furl hex- p.u tic u’m s, , »e pamphlets, rates, etc,, address E.
