| @HeHo A-uHbF ~ are GH1cdQ9 4T10Aues
Sin: In ono of your isHues Of 1ast week OF.
eorve you notice tho proceedings OF tho Cheap
Freight Convention that mot in Now York on
the 9TH and It'll lust, and that, while you in-
dorao tho spirit and sentin,enta Of tho resolu-
tions adopted, you complain that no plan or
achcme was suggested for tho evils under which
the people, both East and West, arc suffering.
III reply to this ag q member Of that Conyer-
tion, and ono that took deop interest in. its
proceedings, bog to say, that understood it's
objects to bc for tho frionls Of Cheap Trauspora-
t'on, from all SECTIONS Of the country, to become
acquainted, and compare notes, and submit, at
some future time, such measures Of relief AZ will
moet the appreciation aud support Of tue agri-
cultural, manufacturing, and businoBg~ intorosta
OF tho country. Gront as tho exigenoy is, no re-
lief can be Afforded by Congress- or tho State Log
iBlature, before noxt winter, Tic Convention ad-
tourped to meet in' Washington City, in January
plans for relief. The work il an important ono,
| and 1t is proposed to mako haRte slowly but
| anroly. The industrial olaeses arc mot in their
| appenls for reof from the present oneroua OK
actions, by largo amount OF associated wealth,
| ity, aud not ovor-burtoned with conscientious
ecruploa. 10 combat this, and compel tho rail-
road corporations to carry out, In good faith,
sr E th the the people NUT
examine the ground Oh which thoy propose to
atalld and take 20 ' position from which thoy will
need need to retreat. Tho friends Of Cheap Transpor-
toilect and numbers, in five or Six statos, to
command public respect and attention. I !
predict they will E" bo oquplly formidable
sus s!stes q sz to 0n'9s Uoa in rhon m'Sgy y Ss
time enough to propose scl,emes for relief.
Nearly NIL now understand the disease from
which tho country llas boon suffering and lam
guisning. The precise aud most oflciont reme- |
thoro aro remedies, and number Of them, thore
il no doubt. Tho most prompt and thorough |
remedy is tho ono nooaed, and whom fixed upon,
soaa ts aotolp 70 psosso with xsor ThosS engaged il
noau, aud will not do dosist ''I in Hast tIoir'
efforts TIL their work Ia accomplished. Tho time
has como whon. It must DO definitely settled WHO

Ing on for tho past few yours, It would SOON tint
tho interests Of the pooplolaye been completely
Ignored by tho Wall-s.roet ownera, and that oiti-
2uns hnye no rights which the corporations they
made, aud created for mutual bendllt, a1v bound
White have my pen in hand may ss we'll
correct 19lso Impression which some OF the
lnE to oreato,, viz: That tho Convention was
called by tho farniorB' 0raugoa Of tho Western
States, and that 1t was perverted into general
otlhlnesa melia moetlng, aud some poor wit has |
Convention WA called to take steps to form
union between all businosa and industrial inter-
csta against exorbitant railroad e1actona and
abusos and to lavo those nteroHta act aolidly to-
gethor for Choap Transportation. In thla regard |
1t Was moro OF suoco8a tiia. the most sangaino
OF its friands dared to anticipate, and I havo
reasons for knowing that no event las occurred
that las disturbed tho quiet OF our Wall.streot I
mastera to all equal oxtant within tho past tiyo ,
yours. THEY have sagacity enough topesceIye,--if
their flunkoyB and parasites have that whom
