banks became alarmed. If the South
and West should become able to
utilize their wealth in providing a
means with which their communities
could do business the absolute con-
troll of the finances of tho United
States had passed out of the hands
of the New York banks. Something
had to be done and done at once.
The treasury, which looked with tho
utmost favor upon the clearing house
certificates based upon stocks and
bonds of uncertain and huc-
tuating value, promptly decided
that clearing house certificates with
actual tangible values back Of them
constituted State bank circulation
anI were subject to taxation. If
these were bank circulation then tho
issues Of the New York banks con-
stitutch bank circulation, and yet
they were allowed to issue them
without complying with the statute
concerning the issue of circulation.
This ruling Of the treasury rivited
the bonds Of financial slavery OH the
people of the South and West, and
the sudden light Of liberty was
rudely cxtinguishcd.
GIVE ALL SECTIONS FAIR PLAY.
| want, at proper time, vote
upon the question as to whether or
not the people Of the South and
West are to be allowed to use their
wealth for the upbuilding OF their
sections or whether they are to be
compelled to do tho financial bidding
of the Eastern money masters. l
want vote upon the question
squarely and without any other qucs-
ton intervening. We have the pro-
pcrty, we have the resources, and
we want to know whether or not
those who have no resources in the
way of products and whose aggrc-
gate property is less than that of the
South and West combined shall
have all the money. have no fight
to make upon national bank circula-
ton, but that circulation has been
corncrcd. | want for my people
circulation that has not been cor
ncrcd. | want it issued under the
wisest restrictions of the State in
which it is to circulate, but | do not
want the clement Of speculation that
has so disastrously affected the pur-
chasing power of Federal money to
have anything to do with this money
which is to issue upon the basis of
real values and tangible property.
We want to do business to the mutual
advantage of all sections and upon
terms Of equality. We do not want
to do business under the dictatorship
of New York banks. We do not
want for our section to have the
present disproportion of circulating
medium to the amount of wealth it
possesses. We ask for nothing but
an exact and equal justice, and We
will be content with nothing less
TII.MAN DOWNS CULLOM.
Senator Tillman took a fall out of
Senator Cullom, Of Illinois, during
the early hours Of today's session Of
the Senate. The Senator from ILL
nols presented memorial from q
lot OF Chicago negroes, asking Con-
grcss to do something to prevent
lynchng and other crimes against
people Of their race. The Illinois
Senator proceeded, by insinuation,
TO place the burden of all such
crimes upon the Southern States,
when the South Carolina Senator
mtcrjcctcd an inquiry as to the
source Of the memorial and the scene
OF the crimes against the negroes.
with sorrow the Republican Scna-
tor from Illinois was compelled to
make the acknowledgment, for
which the Senator from South Caro-
lima was probing, that it was in ILL.,
nois, not in .hc South that negroes
were shot down for the crime of
trying to obtain work.
