Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Geo-gia, with
a healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1150
feet above sea level. Uy the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,000 people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de
siruble settlers, who will not be any less wel¬
come if they bring money to help baild ap
the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly just now, and that is a big hotei
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations aro entirely too limited for our
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.

sources, making a total ordinary of re
ceipts of $379,266,074.76.
'The ordinary expenditures fur the saint
period were, for .civil expenses, foreign
intercourse, Indian service, pensions, tiit

and harbors and arsenals, naval es¬

ery, and improvements at at navy yards.

account of the District of Columbia and
interest on the public debt, a total of or
dinary expenditures of $119,612,116.09 $359,658,958.67.
Uncle This left a surplus pocketbook, of which in
Sam’s was ap¬
plied to the redemption of loans and
notes to the extent of $-83,084,40.5.51.
leaving a balance added to the cash in
the treasury of $30..527,710.58.
The interest on the public debt is $8
036,569.78.
There is ari increase in the payment of
pensions of $5,259,406.98. The aceumu
Iated surplus, says the secretary, on Sep¬
tember 29, 1888, was $96,444,845.81.
Probably the most interesting and ailu im¬
portant pas: age in the report is the
sion to tariff reform. It says:
I cannot too strongly repeal, my re
commendation of last year to reduce
taxation, and as far as possible, without
too sudden disturbance of existing inter¬
ests, to make this reduction in customs
• taxation, to the end that the people may
get the greatest possible benefit from the
reduction.

There are many indications that the

rather than upon
and honorable possible competition. for the
It Is not that eagerness

lead to use an ever growing
of their gains to possess and influence
the supposed source of their w ealth ?
And will not the endeavor to make
men rich soon become the chief func¬
tion of our government? Js not this
already the case? If these dangers ex¬
ist and are not overestimated, then can
it be doubted that the true wellfare of
our people calls for the rescue of the
government from them as speedily as

This can only he done by severing gov¬

should at once be taken in that direction,
always, however, let me repeat, bearing
in mind interests which have become es¬
tablished under present laws; to the end
that they may not suffer unduly while
beneficent reforms are made.
The remainder of the report is taken
up with currency circulation in which
the secretary recommends that the pur¬
