no more chance for that bill to pas

There were only two congressmer
who were avowed supporters of th
sub-treasury bill. They had their pa
pers as lawyers arnulled, but the Ali
ance thought they were too enthusiaS
tic, and did not nominate them fol
another term.
The most stupid thing to me in the
whole bill is that so per cent. advanced
on products in the early part of the
year and at the latter end of the year
the money is burned. What you neeG

If the West is being robbed by the
East they will come to us. At the No.

the West is inclined to unite with u.s.

Put 81 income TAX on the wealth of

it is crude, impracticable, Republican,
unconstitutional measure.
Livingstone, Polk, McCune and two
or three Others were put upon the leg
meeting to suggest the outline of the
measure, but McCune and Waddill
drafted it. The five cents you sead up
there will go. They must pretend to
he doing something to earn those big
salaries they are getting.
MIR. Thomas Whittle, in the audience,
objected to Mr.. Tillman's attacks on
McCune ct al. He said he was going
to voLe for him, but he did not think it
fair to run those men down.
Mr.. Tillman-I admire your pluck.
Mr.. Whittle--I admire yours.
Mr.. Tillman--Then it is mutual ad.
miratiOn.
Mr.. Tillman continued his discussion
of the Sub-treasury. DistillerS he sal d
furnished their own warehouses, the
government furnished the watchmen
and the guagers only.
Mr.. Whittle thought the farmers
should have the same advantages.
Mr.. Tillman-Can two wrongs make
a rightp
Mr.. Whittle-Then remedy that.
Mr.. Tillman-That's what I've been
trying to do.
A LITTLE EXCITEMENT.
At this juncture there was little
excitement created. Captain Markert
arose to ask Mr.. Tillman to explain
how the Federal officers would handle
the farmers cotton and jOkingly re-
marked about Mr.. Whittle'S Interrupt
tiOnS.
MIR. Whittle took offence and said
that he was q native born South Caro-
llnian ana Captain hnrkort WAS not.
Mr.. Alex White, who knew Captain
Markert's war record to be as good as
that of any native born South Carroll
nian and better than even some of the
States own SONS retOrted that Captain
Markert had heard the whistle of more
bullets around him than did Mr.. Whit
tie. The latter resented the remark
and there was considerable confusion
for Il few minutes, but quiet soon was
restored and Mr.. Tillman concluded his
speech.
