forth the following letter from a Chicago

National Committee:
Dear Sr-I notice in Mr.. Bryan's Sa-

this year, under Republican prosperity,
than they did in 1896 under Democratic
depression. This year the people can

Railroad Men for Mckinley.

Bryan and the Democratic party
have been claiming the railroad vote this
year, especially out in Kansas On the
train going to Topeka a few days ago the
conductor, brakeman and engineer were
all found to be enthusiastic Republicans.
Station agents along the line were also
found to be faithful Republicans and
working among their railroad friends for
Mckinley. Bryan at any rate won't get
the whole railroad vote.

Money has loaned at lower rates Of
interest; both agricultural and manufac-
featuring interests have been stimulated
thereby; and what stimulates these inter-
ests directly stimulates the business Of
railroads. The outbound shipments Of
the raw cotton may not have been heavier
because more was used i'll the Southern
mills; but the outbound shipments Of
textile goods have greatly increased Also
the in bound shipments Of the luNuries OF
life have increased enormously. and this
class Of freight is the best paying of all.
Opening up new markets in Cuba, Por-
to Rico and the Philippines for the pro-
ducts of the South has given great addi-
tional stimulus to the Southern railroads,
which, graphically considered. derive
unusual advantages from the expansion
policy.
The extent to which new factories have
been erected in the States of West Nir
gnia. Kentucky and Virginia is shown
by the number of establishments started
along the line Of the Norfolk and West
ern road during the past year. These in
clude:
Three new cotton mills.
One silk mill.
Three knitting factories.
One pulp mill.
One cotton and linseed Oil.
One coke bi-product plant.
-Four iron and steel works.
One hosiery factory.
One -four mill.
Two canning works.
Three peanut factories.
One furniture works.
-Four wagon and buggy works.
One handle factory.
One stave works.
Three planning mills.
Sixteen saw mills.
The future of the South is in developing
Its manufacturing interests and there are
thousands of Southerners who already
realize this and who are alive to the
value of the protective tariff.

| came down to Fargo to hear the Hon
j. d. Seaman. and his speech was the
hes, argument ever heard on a political
topic: there was no gas and no wind
just solid facts
/ can give YOU a good illustration of his
arguments. which l picked up on the
train going to Fargo; it was Il freight
and on the train was a cattle man from
Manitoba, and he was along with l02
head of o-ycar-od steers. lie had ship
ped these from his home. eighty miles
west Of Winnipeg. to find market in
this country. 1t had cost him $500 for
duty to enter this stock: his freight was
23la cents per hundred from Neche to
St Paul, and then he had TO reship to
Chicago He had been FIVE days on the
Way when he reached Fargo.
Now here is the point for my brother
farmers to study a little: This Manitoba
farmer ships his cattle from the other
side Of the line to Chicago pays heavy
duty. pays the freight feed three times
on the way. suffers heavy shrinkagc. and
then sees Il better profit at the end than
he can get at homeland after paying all
these expenses.
Here is where we free trade farmers
are blind to our own interests, when we
want these cattle to come in free, and il
this was allowed what would we get for
our stock: They would not be worth the
raising and we would return to beggary,
where thousands were before, under free
trade.
Now, l am interested in cattle and +
have been considering starting in stock
raising in the Canadian Northwest, where
you can raise a steer until he is three
years old for about $40. but what can
you get for him then? He is worth about
two cents a pound. and he has to be a
good one to bring that.
Oh, no. l guess III not try that. but
III stay in North Dakota and vote for
Mckinley and protection. That is good
enough for me.
