or merchsndiza ,of anv Lind for o,d;n.rv State
purposes, have been continually embarrassed
for the want Of money, and have been compelled
70 carry on their operations, and make their
purchases at great disadvantage with warrants
on the Treasury. Of course they have been
compelled to pay higher prices in warrants than
they would have had to pay in cash. As soon
as these warrants are delivered, they are present
ed at the treasury, and endorsed unpaid for
want of funds, snd from that time draw eight
per cent interest, so that the excess of price
and interest are SO much clear loss to the State
that might be saved If our taxes were promptly
paid. Neither States nor Individuals can man
age their affairs in this manner without serious
present embarrassment aad great ultimate loss,
and in nv Judgment it is clearly your duty as
guardians of tho public welfare, to see to it
that this state of affairs shall not continue. The
