f TIME TO SrEAK. " For several months, the Greenvilh News. Spartanburg Ilerahl and othei State patters have Iteen making serioic cluirgrs with reference to the refunding of the State debt in ISfKJ. The Hesistei has published the only answer to thest el .vges. an answer which was niueh to? vague and indeiinite in view of tin the sj>eoiiie nature of the charges. It was little more than a general disclaimer, and the reporter was mpiested not to use the name of the officer who gave it. it is high time that Senator Tillman. < iovemor Evans or State Tretisurer Bates gave the public a more definatc denial of the very serious charges which have la-en made, for papers lteyond tin landers of the State are taking them up and ringing the charges u|m?i them. Further silence on the part of the State officers who had chance of the bond deal will injuire Suith Carolina and they should siK'itk out plainly. The Register republishes today from tin* Now York Times a long dispateh from Haltiiuore. giving an alleged history of the refunding transaction. It will lie seen that grave charges are preferred against Tillman. Hates and Kvans, with some show of proof. To let those ehalves go uneoiilradieati (I will injure .Ninth ? arolinas eredit abroad and bring her government into disrepute. If they are not refuted. Northern capitalists will accept silence as tantamount to a confession of guilt and will light shy of sending capital for investment into a State whose government they lielieve is corrupt. The Register does not lielieve that there was the least crookedness about the South Carolina bond deal and lias repeatedly said so, but must remain silent hereafter if the men against whom the charges are made choose to allow them to go uncontradicted. S|ieeilic accusations rHpiire specific refutation, and the people of Ninth l arolina have a right to e\|K*ct Tillman. Hates and Kvans to make such refutation.?Daily Register. riNAM IAK I'llUl'llKTS. Since the old (t reeks made money of iron t here have never hern :is innliv financial quacks ;it one time as we have to-day. All sorts of plans have lieen promised to hring alnml a sound, safe, progressive linaneial system. Dire predictions of imiiending ruin and a .general erash have Urn made, if this plan is not adopted and the other let alone. The gold men declare that, if silver is re-instated, gold will go into hiding places in this country, or seek a place of safety in other hands. They say that instead of increasing the circulation it w ill diminish it to the amount of gold now iii circulation and that money will lie much scarcer than it is at present. The siher men declare that there will In* an abundance of money even if sjK'oulators do buy the gold and transport it to Kurope, In the multitude of prophets then is much foolishness.
