It was‘to develop tills view (hat the
Chronicle approached liUq.i; [ t;
Mr. Candler thinks the tariff, is he
lming the absorbingqueetioti in Amer
ican |H)iitics. It may sweep into such
commanding importance as to split up
the sections and reform the parties. He
was for tariff lor reveuue, with incident
al protection. He did not think Ameri
can products needed any high tariff.
Onr wares aud goods are sold
through Europe now. Augusta's man
ufactured cotton gcoda And their way
into European and Eastern markets;
why do we ask protection then? He
thought from what he hud read of the
tariff commission's report that the work
had been well done, and the reductions
were sweeping and wholesome. Our
import taxes should be reduced, as like
wise our internal revenue taxes. We
needjust enough taxes to supiiort tiie
government and pay the interest on tiie
public debt. There should lie no large
surplus left-fur jobs. The government
was in too great a hurry to pay off the
public debt, lie did not know which
people were the worse off; those who
were staggering under a heavy public
debt, or those who were accumulating a
heavy surplus in the treasury. The
satire was trtje iu this state. It has been
raid that the existing public debt should
be (mid ofl with alacrity. He was rather
of the opinion that the constitution
should be changed so as to allow the
statb to contribute to tiie building up of
some of her most important institutions
and to the development of some of her
most valuable material interests. State
aid, when property directed aud wisely
regulated, was net an evil. We should
not wish to wipe out our public debt at
once. A small debt is rather a ballast
and blessing to a country, or a common'
wealth, or to a man of business.
Mr. Candler alluded lo the prospects
of the Augusta, Elberton and Chicago
railroad, a most important work for Au
gusta, and one which she should be
quick' to complete. His own Toad, tiie
G.,J. AS., is now ranuingaliouttwenty-
tive miles, with good prospects for a
successful finish. He thought, with the
amount subscribed, tiie Elberton road
could easily be graded.
Mr. Oaqdlet sppke strongly in favor of
tbeatatiiViSubscription to Col. Jones’
History «f Georgia. He said Georgia is
deplorably in t\eed of a public history,
•nd hit kaowlathid of Col. Jones led him
to believe that he was thb man to com
pile it. Mr. Candler was, during the
«|r!y years of Ais life, a school teacher
in upper Georgia, and two or three
young men in Augusta now" were among
his pupils.
What the Millennium Will be Like.
II.) ■ ■
Rev. J. Hemphill, of Ban Francisco,
could not help but believe that the ad
vent and personal reign of Christ v ould
be altar the millennium. During tiie
millennium, he thought, the physical
conditions of tiie world would be im
proved. 8in being removed, pain and
travail would be done away with. Tiie
physical conditions of man would be
vastly Improved, and there would exist
no pain, sorrow nor tears, such as are
ours now. When that time comes men
will live as long as the old patriarchs
before the flood. Healthy bodies will
make healthy minds, and for one thou
sand years the two will be yoke-fellows.
The moral and spiritual conditions will
be vastly Improved aud holiness will
abound. And during those thot sand
years he thought one language
would prevail throughout the
world, for through the
Tower of Babel, or sin,numerous tongues
