Editor Qf Nesos
 How would it do to ask that allitera- tive cuss who has "facts, figures and fire" to name the states in the South and West that ''co,atiaue to gro,c poorer?' Also the states ''in the northeastern cor. ner of this country" that have outstrip- ped eiaser the South or West, in the ac- cumulation of wealth during the last 20 years?
 It would be interesting, also, if he would kindly specify the particular leg islation that has been so disastrous to the ore, and so advantageous to the other.
 Unsupported assertion is played out
