eral states OF the Union looking to the
election Of United States senators by di.
rect vote Of the psople With the aver
age thoughtful citizen there is hut one
mind on this important question, yet
there are politicians afraid to trust the
people. We have an example Of this
fear In our own state at the late session
OF the legislature In the assembly the
proposition carried practically unani.
nous, but when 10 eame 20 test in the

only by the lieutenant governor cassind
the deciding vote. Eleven senators who
voted for the same proposition four
years since, In the same house turned
'neir backs on the matter. aud voted in
exact opposition TO their past records.
But they Lave had enlightenment from
Washington since and their instruction
has been &c oppose everything that win
give the p,,oplc freedom Of naming their
own candidates by direct vote. Every
mothers son of the corporation crowd
in the legislature, and the federal Office
holders, are instructed to yelp the peo-
pile don't know what they want; they
are not capable of deciding whom they
want for their servants. only congress-
men, ofiiceholders, railroad lobbyists and
other party plrggers are capable of tell

1t may we'll be understood now that
these self.eopstituted guardians will ira

Talks With Farmers.
(By Prof. w. F. Massey.)

North Carolina Gold Leaf tobacco which
last year, when there was an active com
petition in the market sold for 25 to 80
cents per pound, now that the American
Tobacco Trust has it all its own way,
sells at about Sc per hundred, and the
tobacco farmers are in straits, for the
price is below the cost OF production, fer
the low price named IS for the very high
est grade only. In the meantime the
products of the Trust on the market have
been advanced in price, and their factories
are running night and day How long
the American people will endure the ty-
ranny of the various Trusts it is hare
to say but it is remarkable that they
are so long suffering. There is law enough
if the politicians would allow it to be eu.
forced. And the farmers keep the poll
ticians in office.
