Daring that time it hoe built a id pot into most sureasaful operation a $100,000 cotton factory ami is now building auother with nearly twice the capital. It has put up a a'gc iron and brass foundry, a fertiliser fac- ory, an immense ice and bottling works, a •ash and blind factory, a broom factory opened op the finest granite quarry in the ITulted State*, and has many other enter- prtaea io outemplatiou.

It has just secured direct inde¬ pendent connection with Chattanooga and the Wrst, and has ths President of a fourth railroad residing here sod working to its ultimate completion. With its five white and three colored ebnrcbes, it is now building a $10,000 new Presbyterian ohnroh. It has Increased its population by nearly oue fifth. It has at. traeted around its borders fruit growers from nearly every State in the Union, until it la now surrounded on nearly every aide by or¬ chards and vineyard. It is the home of the grape and its wine making capacity has doubled every year. It has successfully Inaugurated a system of public sohoo'.s, with s seven years curriculum, second to none. This is part of the record of a half decade aad simply shows the progress of an already admirable city, with the natnral advantages of having the finest climate, summer and winter, in the world. 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. If you see anybody that wants a good ioca- tionfor a hotel in the South, just mention Griffin. Griffin is the place where the Obii'kin News is published—daily and weekly—the nest newspaper in the Empire State of the Georgia. Please enclose stamps in sending f*r sample copies.

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. “Beside the vexed economic questiou as to whether a country can make itsell prosperous by a tariff; whether it can increase the relative average comfort of of its its whole labor people and capital by diverting from the a employ¬ portion ments which could be most profitably followed under natural conditions, there¬ by making certain of necessaries of life more costly than they higher would moral be question other wise, there is a wh'eh may well be asked, and that is, can a government be kept pure and free which, through the agency of its laws, offers vast; pecuniary business. temptations t- some kinds of There are many indications that the question must be answered in the nega live. Thera are business many proofs have that large classes of our men come to depend for success upon their skill in manipulating governmental industry, intelligence agencies rather than upon and honorable possible competition. for the It Is not that eagerness money which men assume comes to them only through government, proportion may 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 may b * ? This can only he done by severing gov¬ ernment from private business; step-, 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¬ chase of silver bullion by the govern¬ the ment should be reduced again to | maximum last suggested. business demand Thus the country's silver cir¬ would regulate the country’s little dan¬ culation and there would be. ger of depreciation in the value of the silver dollar as compared with the gold dollar.
