policy by recognizing the United States
as great family, with all the sections
of our country enjoying equal protec-
ton and equal advantages in trade,
commerce and manufacture"
'The greatest good to the greatest
number is the true national policy Of a
great people," continues the letter.
Under present conditions there are no
certain investments in the west and
south. The investor visits the western
town and finds it prosperous; perhaps
it has the shops or division offices OF
some great railway company and en-
joys advantages in freight rates not
possessed by it's neighbors. He invests
his money and assists in building the
town, but the company removes after
a time the division to some other point
and raises the rates against the city,
lowering them to some other point.
Property drops. as result, 80 per cent
in value, and the man who was con-
sidered wealthy yesterday is the bank-
rupt of today"
In regard to the distance tariff the
circular says:
''Is there any reason why, in sparsely
settled districts, the individual should
pay higher freight rates upon mis- pro-
ducts than he should pay a greater
hostage upon his letters? Then why
this discrimination? When mail route
is established and it does not pay the
operating expenses, the difference is
met by an appropriation from the Unit
ed States treasury, and why not ex-
ercise the same good judgment with
reference to freight rates?
why punish the individual who is
trying to reclaim nature, build a home
or make city on the western plains or
mountain districts, By charging ex-
orbitant freight rates on his products?
Should he not. as an incentive to acr1on,
have as cheap rates as any other indi-
vidual and the loss, if any, be paid as
in the postal service? If this policy Is
proper IN the postal service, Is it not
proper in the freight service, and if not,
why not?"
The manifesto further announces that
the committee is purely business Or
ganization to discuss all economic
questions and revive business in all
parts of the country and in accord with
natural conditions. The great mining
interests Of the country must be devel-
oped. The cotton fields Of the south
must be provided with factories and
the grain producing regions of this
commonwealth must be guarded and a
market found for its wheat and corn at
greatly enhanced prices, and this can
be accomplished by building up trade
centers, which will result from uniform
freight rates and by marketing our ex-
port products through the gulf instead
of wasting energy in transporting our
surplus by way Of Chicago to New
York, a distance nearly three times as
great, yet the freight charges are less
by reason of the discrimination in the
interest of eastern cities and eastern
ports as against western cities and
southern ports"

There is a class Of newspapers in
the country Of every possible political
com. .leXioD which are conducted along
the tOady line. Their editors labor
under the conviction that in order
to be good party organ It's only nee.
eSSary TO stand by the bosses and in
dOrse every thing enunciated by the
ring. Supervacaneaus servility is
synonymous to devotion TO principle
with these plant mouthpieces New
er to question an action or criticise a
wrong.dOing OF a party officials in
their estimate constitutes the high
est claim to party loyalty. The truth
is, such papers are without influence
anywhere outside the ring at whose
shrine they worship. The reading and
influential element OF any party Of the
public at large, are no longer led by
the nose, or does it accept the parrot
talk and cuckoo opinions Of cheap ech
Oes as being Of any value except as il
addresses ITSELF To the better judg
ment. A party paper that has back
bone enough to criticise wnerecritiisu
is called for, that is untrammeled BY
special fayors, that speaks fearlessll
its convictions, is the paper which il
respected and has infeunce. Few
men are so partisan as to prefer partl
to the right or TO excuse wrong Off
cial action simply because some office
OF his own party is guilty. The sneez
er who snuffles Cnly when sOmebOd!
else has taken snuff has had his day
