tion pursue a different course9 Nothing
can be gained by such methods. Plu
~tocracy has long kept the reform forces
divided and have beaten them in detail.
This they have done with the lavish
use of money and a subsized press. Let
us in the future boycott literature from
such presses and instead read reform
literature.
Let me again urge upon the execu
tive committees and chairmen of all
the parties who united in the last cam
paign, to get together and formulate
our demands, and even write out a
platform and send it down through the
proper channels to the different States,
counties, and even to the primaries.
Let them be adopted by all friends of
reform. Then call one grand common
National convention. Let no delegate
enter this convention until he agrees
to abide by the principles set forth in
the demands or platform.
Then let these delegates nominate no
man unless he first gives a written
pledge that he will abide by the plat
form; and, if elected, use his best efforts
to carry out it's provisions.
Let n of the National candidates
be chosen from the Northwest, the
other from the South. For without
any gift of prophecy, 1 car unerringly
predict that no financial relief can
come except from aunion of the reform
forces Of the Northwest and South.
Choose out some common name for the
reform forces to unite under. All Re.
publicans dislike the name of Demo,
crat; both Democrats and Republicans
dislike the name of Populist. Call it
the Reform party-the opposition. It
matters little to me, go it is not Demo
crat or Republican, and for the sake of
harmony, l m perfectly willing to
give up the name of Populist, but never
it's principles. I for one can look be
yond a name andlay aside all the pre- ju
dice connected with it But there are
thousands who do not look beyond a
name. If, however, we fight the great
coming battle of 1900 under the name
OF the Democratic party-a party of
perfect autonomy-to the Democratic
party will belong the honor and the
emoluments of office. Then I urge all
the reform forces to get into line under
a new name, and if success crowns
their efforts, let there be a fair division
Of the honors and the spoils of office.

REDUCED RATES.
From News and Observer

lErOm News and Observer
fThe people earnestly demand to be
relieved from the enormous salaries
and high rates extorted from them by
railroads, telegraph, telephone and ex-
press companies, which rates have
been doubled by the success of the non
resident millionaire owners of these
monopolies in fastening the gold stand
ard upon us. This demand has found
a voice by the Introduction Of bills in
both Houses to give a moderate reduc
tion in these exactions. The IL aiding
bill in the Senate was reported back
without prejudice, the committee
standing s for and 6 against the bill. In
the House, a similar bill was reported
unfavorably. Before both committees
the corporations we're represented by
numerous able, ingenious and highly
paid attorneys to listen to whom the
corporations really couldn't afford
to take any less" and from whose
speeches it would really seem the cor
porations would go into a decline if a
subsidy direct from the Treasury was
not added. Yet all the world knows
the non resident millionaire owners of
the corporations and their high salaried
officials are getting richer all the time
while the people out of whom the
money comes that makes them rich
are getting poorer all the time. There
was no one to reply to any statements
the corporation lawyers chose to make
for 1.-The people have NJ lobby"
1T is said that the speeches of the
lawyers would have been less effective,
but that the two Railroad Commission
ere Wilson and Wilson, who last fall
reduced rates and after wards put them
up again, went before the committees
and pleaded against relieving the peo-
pie of rates because it would be a re-
Election on then and to prevent such a
IT Election the people of North Carolina
must pay several hundred thousand
dollars to Rothschilds, Pierpont Nor.
gan and others till the next legislature
shall be sent here with the imperative
mandate of the people to reduce these
burdens.
ut seems to US Meesrs. Wilson and
Wilson Inexperienced their duties
for they were not elected to fasten high
rates upon the people, but to protect
them against corporation greed. We
think they also m~isconceived their own
interest. If they had said, I'VE could
not see our way to take the RESPONSE
bility of reducing rates, but if you, the
40 representatives, fresh from the
people, think proper to reduce them'
we will take it as no reflection on US
and will administer the rate as you
make it" every man would have ap
plauded them. By throwing their
weight into the scale in favor OF the
corporations they have damaged them
selves and aided materially to keep on

the backs of the people heavy burdens
of which they should be relieved.
IF the legislative committees wait
to reduce corporation charges till cor
poration lawyers shall say they r too
high, there will never be any reduc-
ton. The growing wealth of railroad
owners aud officers and the growing
poverty and discomfort of the great
masses Of the people should speak to
them with an unpaid eIequence more
convincing than the dulcet tones of
lobbyists"
THE vote in the Senate Committee
stood, in favor of reducing corporation
charges, Butler, Clark, Maultsby,
Maxwell, Atwater, and Walker-6
Against giving the people any relief,

Ramsey, Abel and Shore-6. In the
House Committee, the vote to report
in favor of reducing corporation
charges was Hauser and Dixon.
Against relief to the people, Brewer,
Blackburn, Ward, Smith, Hancock. 1t
is we'll for the people to scan the roll
calls of this Legislature and see who are
standing for the people, and who for
the corporations. The great fight in
North CarOlOlina from now on is wheth-
er or not the corporation shall continue
to rule North Carolina and squeeze
millions out of her people by high rates
to make more millionairies up North.

The fact that our manufactured
goods exports increased from 1874, 900,
900 in 1895 to 1928, 600, 900 in 1896 goes
to prove that our laboring classes are
doing a pretty good job of competing

at the same time being forced to pay

It seems paradoxical that a soil may
have been exhausted as to crop pro.
ducing power and yet rich in plant
food-the elements necessary to plant
growth. The solution is this, that In
every soil the larger portions Of plant
food therein are inert, unavailable go
far as being taken up by plant roots il
concerned. They are locked up, so to
speak, by Dame Nature. She allows
to be released for use only an an
nual quota, which is greater or less, &C.

With the first bugle note sounded by the
Salvation Army in the District was mingled
a cry OF protest. We had not then been so
regulated by what some phlhstine calls
the moral despUtism OF reform clubs as
we are now, and we feared-scne of us =
that our inner lives were to be at the mercy
Of fanatics, who would expose our sins
to the world s censure without even a lace
handkerchief to hide the face of their de-
formlty. From first TO last, however,
we have found the history Of the army
here i record of good work. Our distrust
for the barracks has meilowed into distinct
approval, and we have a warm feeling
for the crusading lassles who flaunt Their
titles and their tambourines in the very
mouth of the dragon, sin.
