THE HON. JASPER D. WARD.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nay II, 1911
To the Hon. Jasper D. Nard, chiea3a, Aensber Of tbs
Forty-thard Congress from tho Second Dixtrici ef
Illinois:
Dean SIR: This morning wont to tho House
to thank you for your independent and manly
report in behalf OF upwards Of 800 900 whito
American citizens, Conservatives and Repub-
lieans, who arc taxpayers or disfrau-
chiscd whites, Community whose only
political crime is, that they arc
white and honest. Having been firm
National Republican. it might not bs a1niss for
mo to say that the action OF tho majority Of the
Judiciary Committee, Ia refusing the appeal Of
the taxpayers Of South Calolina, merely that q
committee be appointed to investigate their
feartuIly-clstressed condition, while tie Admin
isttat,on vas sustaining aud encouraging the
despollars as an elemeut Of the Republican
party, is, to say the least Of it, barbarous.
Who were the opposo-s Of this pitlful.
humble appeal Of = high-toned, brave.
heraes Of l776 aud ls12, and OF Plymouth Rock
stock? With but few exceptions, they we're the
very criminals that the investigation would have
convicted before tho great American people,
From. .ex-Gor. &. X. Scott down to the degraded
Nhitsemorc, who had the audnc4ty to show his
face in the White House, to again perjuro his
soul with additional lies, every nan Of them
should have been in the Ianitentiary.
There waH not d single maa Nn0 opposed
the appeal OF the taxpayers OF South CarolnA
for IN investigation. except it were Messrs. Cam,
k.nsisf, and Rainey, membets OF Congress-, but
knew that they testified falsely. The Congress-
men had to 60 before ths Committee, or the out
LAWS who control the State politics would have
sacrificed them before an ignoraot mob, totally
without reasoning mowers, in tho bands Of such
despsladoea ~ Whlttemore, Scott, Moses, L. c.
Carpenter, S. L. uogo, D. T. Cortin. D. II.
Chamborlain, Cotdoza, Lee, Haynes, dleares,
aud others
The brave sons aud daughters Of Carolina will
be evor touched by the noble act Of justice you
have accorded them in advocating their request.
For oue having strong national sentiments, and
anticinations of glorious future for my coun-
try, from the Lakes to the Gulf Of Mexico and
f,om the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, 1t is dis
trosaipg III tue extreme to know the social and
political degradation to which tho white people
OF South Carolina Florida, Southern Alabama,
mississippi and Louisiana. are being brought
by the persistent efforts Of tho party in
power to bud those States to its fortune. THIS
is, financially, q hard year but, with the fertile
South in . thorouehly distressed, disorgauized,
aud hopeless condition, what have VIC to expect
for yeats to come? Ii I am rightly informed,
the exports from the South ano1hnr year will not
reach over half those OF the present. The area
planted in cotton il not twotlirds OF that plant
ed in 1878. Much OF tho best cotton lands hare
been drowned out, and the crop is generally bad
May blessing always be upon you for taking a
Just view when the weak aie being oppressed.
yours sincerely, NEEonS IAWroS,

FROM statement recently submitted 10
The General Assembly by the secretary OF
the board of public works, it appears that
her interest in plank roads. turnpikes and
bridge companies nominally amounts to
S4,70l .065, really to nothing, all of them
having either been abandoned or presented
to the respective counties through which
they pass. About thirty millions of the
forty-6ve Of indebtedness, under the bur-
den of which the state new apochryphally
groans was accumulated in her attempts
to aid railroads, the canal, and the other
so-called internal improvements named
above. The expenditures for railroads
has been about twenty-five millions dol
lars. The following is from the report
in condensed form: The in
terest of the state in railroad
lines, on the LIST of May, 1868, was (par
yalue) $2l GAG, 627.0G. From the sale of
the greater part of these the state obtained
only s7,7S7, 7s2.05, which is an excess of
losses over gains Of $40, 7s9, 500. She still
holds about s3,000,000 of interest in rail-
roads. The states interest in navigation
companies on the same date, amounted to
$l2 ,746, 63l .03-about one.half of which
was disposed of at loss to the state Of
SLIPS, 1886. OF the sums realized by the
state, upon sales of her railroad interests,
sl7 ,s06s8G twas in cash, 100000 in Sc
cond mortgage bonds Of the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio railroad, and $3,7l9,-
1890 retained interest, as above.
