eenuite tariff bill. The senator nald that
the currency problem was the only one
left to be dealt with by the- party and
it would be taken ud next, before the
4th of next March. He believed In gold
and silver being equal and In a redemp
tion of paper money by the metal. He
epoke of the millions saved to the coun
try by the -Democratic party and dosed
with a tribute to the North and an ap
peal to all Northern people tb stand by
that parly which was born with the
union and which had put these people
on an equality in all respects with thooe
of every part of* the land.
Senator Ransom w.ia followed by -Mr.
Charles H. Mansur, whose effort had a
most happy and wholesome effect upon
the audience. Prominent citizens suld
that it would be of Incalculable good
for the state and urged the speaker to
give ills services later in the campaign.
•Mr. Mansur's oueech was chiefly de
voted to a detailed and studied defense
of the tariff bill anti he closed’ with
warm allusion to his life-long sympa
thy with the South and with a beauti
ful tribute to Us people. .

' / which brought down the house. “The
reputation of Penimylvania Is none of
the best," said he. "in this part of the
world.’’ The speaker continued In a
happy vein, coming up slowly to a care
ful discussion of the live Issues and In
dustrial needs. He was enthusiastically
received.
Wr. Black was followed by Hon. Law
rence Gardner who provoked great ap
plause. -Mr. Gardner made a rapid re
view of the Democratic party, pointing
to Its leaders with, a challenge for their
equal. -He ursed active work *ay the
clubs and indignantly denied that the
conditions recently existing were In any
way chargeable to the Democracy. He
Urged the cluhs to stand together, take
counsel with the leaders and keep ti way
from political heresies.
The meeting was a great success and
brought together a great crowd from
ail parts of the state.
Senator Thomas J. Jarvis of North
Carolina was the last speaker and his
friends claim that he Is making the ef
fort of his life. Several hundred ladles
occupied seats in the gallery.
Qlr. Jarvis Is making a strong plea for
Democracy, taking up In- detail each
issue before the people, especially of
national Importance. He Is a powerful
debater and the Populists and Repub
licans present are wincing «nd writhing
under the mighty blows that ho is
dealing.
The enthusiasm- of this hour under
the force and eloquenoe of Mr. Jarvis Is
Intense and the masses, from which he
sprang, are cheering to the echo, while
his compatriots on the stage are Intent
upon his every gesture.

LOW RATE TAX IN THE SOUTH
G.vsrnev Sovthrn amt a Democrat!" Ad
ministration Slav. Given Georgia
the Lotveit Ralo of Taxation
Ilneo tbo War,
Atlanta, Sept. 20.—(Special.)—Watson
and other Populist npesikers have been
asserting that the Democratic putty in
Georgia has been extravagant la Us
management of the government. To
day Attofhey-General Terrell gives the
following statement ot facts, effectively
answering tlielr charges:
The total appropriations for the state
government and public Institutions for
1S-J4, except for common sohools and
pensions, amount to $1,113,204. In tbts
Is included $100,000 for tbe erection of
an additional building ( at the luuattu
asylum. Tlie special taxes aggregate
$001,810. Deduct Uils amount, which
is raised other than by property taxa
tion, from the above amount of $1,113,-
2U4, and you will nave the ueecsmtry
amount to be levkal ahd collected from
a property tax, which is $123,418.
The taxable property for 1801 Is
$127,000,000. Tito rate necessary to
raise this amount of $123,118 is 00-100
of a mill, or a fraction over 00 cents
on the $1,000. The rate of taxation
for 1S01 as levied Is 4.37 mills, or $1.37
on tlie $1,000. This Is made necessary
by the appropriations for schools and
pensions.
The appropriation for schools is $030,-
323.03, not including poll tax. To raise
this amount It would bo necessary to
levy It tux of 2.24 mills, or $2.21 on tlie
$1,000.
Tho appropriation tor pensions to
soldiers and widows Is $400,000. In or
der to raise this amount it Is necessary
to levy a tux Of 1.08 mills, or $1.08 on
tho $1,000. To cover Insolvent lists
and to pay tax receivers %ud collectors
the expenses of collection, nu mldtlonii!
lux of .00 of a mill, ur Q coals on tho
$1,000, is necessary.
These aggregate rates make a total
of 1.37 mills, or $1.37 on the $1,000. liut
for tho npproprkitlfwt for common
schools nud pensions the tax rate would
bu ouly 09 coals on the $1,000 of'prop
erty,.which Is by far the lowest rate ot’
any stalo In tho Union.. If tho appro
priation for tho erection or additional
buildings at the lunatic asylum, which
Is included la tho above, had not been
required by the act of 1893, this ex
ceedingly low rate would havo -been
about 21 cents on tbe $1,OUO lower. In
other jvurds. tho rate of 73 cents per
$1,000 would ho sufficient to run tbo
governuiont and moot all tbo approptm-'
lions except tbo annex to tlie asyium.
tlie pensions and tho common sclmol
fund.
The stflto of Kansas hns a t’opulist
governor and u Populist legislature. Tho
tax rate there for this year, as shoivu
by tho Kansas nets of 1893, is :t.7u
mills, or $3.70 on the $1,000. Nothing
wlmtever 1h appropriated .In Kansas iur
common schools and pensions. That
state has a common school system sup
ported by district taxes, which Is au
additional tax to the $3.70 rate. Cilt-
r.ens are called upon by n Populist gov
ernment to pay $3.70 on the $1,000 for
what t> Democratic government lit
Georgia cults upon tho citizens here to
pay 73 cents. If tlie pcoplo of Georgia
desire the common schools abolished
nud all pensions to Confederate soldier*
nud widows withdrawn then tho tax
rate can bo lowered to 73 cents per
$1,000.

Baltimore. Sept. 20.—The Manufac
turers’ Record, in Its rortoW ot railronrt
and industri ,1 matters In tho South for
the week, soys:
.The August reports of prominent
railway systems in the South show a
gratifying gala in tho nggregato over
tho same month of 1893, and, as it
group, they make a much hotter dlsplny
than the trunk lines, tho Northwestern
in tho Western groups. For example,
the earnings of the Chesapeake, anti
Ohio, Kausns City, Mein phis anil Utrm-
tngham, Dullsville a^d Nashville, Mem
phis and Charleston, Mobile and Ohio,
Nashville, Chattanooga and Ht. Louis,
Norfolk and Western: and Southern
(Richmond nud Dnuvlllo and East Ten-
■lessee, Virginia and Georgia) reached
$3,720,487 lust August, nearly $1100,090
more than in August, 1803. Nffio of
tho Northwestern lines showed an In
crease of less tliuu $100,000 over Au
gust, 1893, while six trunk linos in Ute
Middle and Eastern states decreased
over $300,000 and n group ot t\vouty
other linos In the Middle and Western
states decreased about $200,000.
This gain In Bo'itherh earnings is not
duo to tho cotton movement, for com
paratively' little has been shipped by
rail ns yet. It Is principally caused by
the general increase la business la tho
South; •
Among die new railway enterprises
