TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS.

hAN1E
No public question conctrns you
more than that of transportation.
Some one has said hat che who con-
trolls the transportation of a country
controls that country" Your fore
fathers projected a great railroad
system for North Carolina. That
system was built by the State and
it's citizens, but it's control has pass
ed into the hands of aliens. And the
little remnant that is left, extending
from Goldsboro to Beaufort, sc
greedy are the corporations for it
that, not content with what they al
ready have, thev even dare to invade
the Temple of Justice to deprive
North Carolina of her own property.
Thank God we have a Governor, bred
on a farm, aided by a Chief Justice,
bred on a farm, who has convinced
Federal officials that North Carolina
"knows her rights, and knowing,
dares maintain them"
AS a body you made the effort to
prevent the lease of the North Caro-
lima Railroad. Unseemly haste on
the part of the State directors, with
out waiting for the sanction of the
private stockholders, thwarted your
wishes. Your representative obtain
ed from the State Supreme Court,
through his counsel, Hon. David
Schenck, with the consent of the
Attorney General of North Carolina,
permission to bring suit Ito vacate
the charter of the n. O.. r. R., or
such other relief as the courts would
see fit to grant" Judge Schenck ex-
planned to your representative that
no effort would be made to vacate the
charter, but under the clause, "such
| other relief as the courts would see
fit to grant," he would attack the
validity of the lease. To the surprise
of Judge Schenck and your repre-
| sentative the words "such other relief
as the courts would see fit to grant"
we're left out of the papers turned
over to your representative and by
| him filed with the Clerk of the Court
of Wake County. The Attorney
| General was earnestly besought to al
low the suit to be brought in accord
ance with the permission granted by
the Supreme Court, but he persist
| emily refused. Acting under the adj
vice of Judge Schenck, and appre-
hensive that a suit simply to vacate
the charter might result d~isastrously
| to the States interests in the proper
ty, the suit was withdrawn. A suit
for the purpose of testing the legal
ity of the lease Was instituted in
| Guilford County and an irrevocable
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-08-16

on which this suit was brought.
Without notice to Judge Schenck the
owner of this share of stock came to
Greensboro and entered what is call
ed a "~retraxit" (whatever that isl,
and thus we were thwarted again.
The gentlemen who made the ninety
ninety years lease thoroughly pro-
tected the financial interest of the
State; the per cent of interest is
good but the valuation of the proper
ty is low. An abortive effort was
made by our present Executives
predecessor to annul the lease. A
suit was instituted by the Southern
Railway to restrain the directors of
the N. @. r. r. from interfering with
the lease. This suit was withdrawn,
the Southern Railway paying all ex-
penses incurred by the State. Thus
ended the fight against the lease, the
directors of the N. @. r. r. agreeing
not to interfere with the lease, but
the preamble to the resolution pass
ed, reciting that no right of the
State of North Carolina in any re-
spect was waived. This preamble the
Governor insisted should not be
changed in any respect, asserting
that it in no way affected the right of
a State Legislature to annul the
lease.
LEASING THE A.. & n @. RAILROAD.
Now this matter has been brought
to your attention for the purpose
of endeavoring to induce you to petit
ton our present Executive not to
lease the A. & N. @. 9. r. r. With
that road in the hands of the State,
by an extension to Norlina or Hen
derson, u Railroad Commission can
regulate freight charges within our
State. Beaufort can be made a
great city. The road can be put in
LISG-CldSS COIuIG1Ou ny COIVICU ldUOr
and the right of transit farmed out
at a reasonable rate to the A. @. L.
and to the Southern. The State can
still operate it's own trains. If the
Interstate Commission is unable to
protect us from impositions by out
side corporations, merchandise could
be shipped to Beaufort and thence
distributed. The possibility of this
being done is in my Judgment one of
the main reasons that the attempt
was made to wrest the property from
the State and force it's sale or lease.
The State of New York dug the Erie
Canal and by means of it secured
cheap transportation. It's canal charg-
es for years have been nominal, and
last year,by an immense majority, the
people of New York voted 800, O0O,-
900 to enlarge the canal. Why should
not convict labor be used ON this
road belonging to the State when
the G.. F. & Y. V. was built in great
measure by convict labor, and the
State never received any pay there
fore-or very little at least. The in
terest of private stockholders should

these private stockholders 2 or 2I5
per cen dividend rather than put her
citizens in the power of the syndicate
controlling both the Southern and the
Seaboard and dominating the Coast
Line. The Coast Line deserves well
of the State. It has built a great
many branch lines and developed the
eastern section of the State. The
other roads have absorbed the roads
built by the people of the State.
REoPENING THE STATE DEBT.
In connection with the lease of the
N. G. r. r. is the reopening of the
settlement of the State debt. Our
States credit has been good. After
the war between the States our i'm
poverished people left for a while
the management of public affairs to
carpet-baggers and scalawags, aided
and abetted by some of our w citi-k
zens. When these were hurled from
power, the State compromised its
debts, agreeing to pay all that it
could and winning the praise of it's
creditors, the great majority of whom
willingly accepted new bonds from
the State in place of the old, or
money on the basis of the compro-
mise agreed upon. The States inter
est in the N. G. r. r. was pledged
| as security on some of the bonds is
sued for the benefit of the Western
N. G. r. r. The Supreme Court of
the United States has decided that
North Carolina can be sued by the
State of South Dakota on account
of these bonds, given to the State of
| South Dakota by parties who could
not themselves bring suit, thus doing
Indirectly what could not be done di-
rectly. Judgment has been rendered
against the State. Resistance in ev-
cry way possible should be made
against the payment of this judg-
ment. You should make your candi-
dates for the Legislature pledge
themselves to oppose the reopening
of the States settlement of it's debt.
| Our Senators and Representatives in
Congress should bring this violation
of Art XII of the Constitution on
| the part of the Supreme Court to the
| attention of the Congress of the
States.
In my judgment the validity
of the lease of the N. @. r. r. has
never been fairly passed upon. 1t has
been charged that the original de-
cision was a political decision
brought about by personal ambition
on the part of one member of the
court and personal friendship for
that member on the part of another
member of the court. The dissent
ing opinion of Judge Bynum is re-
| garded by some of our ablest lawyers
as founded on the true principles of
right and justice. So important do

the part of the State of the A. & N.

PRESIDENT GRAHAM's ADDRESS.

Alliance, Hillsboro, N. c., August 9th,
1904.
Brethren of the Farmers Alliance:
Allow me to congratulate you that
we meet at this our annual session
under such favorable auspices. PREF
udice towards the Alliance seems to
be disappearing by degrees, and it is
hoped that the farmers of North
Carolina, and not only of North Car
Dina, but of the whole United States.
at no distant date will be found again
united and striving for the dissent
nation of their views in reference to
the basic principles of sound govern
ment as established by our forefath-
ers and embodied. in our motto
equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none"
1t is claimed by some hat you
have no rights to discuss matters 9TH
er than those pertaining to agricul-
ture and that effort on your part to
have a voice in reference to the
monetary affairs of this country or
in reference to charges for transport
tation is presumptucus and can re-
suit only in harm to your own inter
ests and those of the country at
large. The business interests" of
this country must be considered at
all times, and the agricultural classes,
composing t~hree-fourths of our citi-
zenship, and paying directly and in
directly the bulk of taxes, and in time
of war furnishing the rank and file
of our armies-their interests are
not to be considered business inter
ests, when they come in conflict with
the great money power as represent
ed by the railroads, national banks,
and trusts. Men of your class settled
this country, cleared it's forests, drove
back the wild savage, grappled with
the crowned ruler of the greatest
empire on earth and established your
country's independence and proclaim
ed in terms of thunder that "taxa-
ton without representation is I'M
just" Controlled and governed in
great part by Southern farmers and
their sons, these United States pros
pered as never a country prosDered
before. Politicians precipitated the
war between the States. The farmers
of North Carolina did all hat they
could to prevent that unfortunate
fratricidal conflict, but when the
Abolitionists of the North and the
Secessionists of the South precipita-
ted that terrific battle between the
white American of the South and
the white American of the North, the
farmers of America furnished the
bulk of those who served in the ranks
and with their fellow copatriots of
all classes placed America upon the
pinnacle of nations.
Now are you not vitality interested
in other things than the mere pro-
duction of crops? Are you not con
cerned as to whether this fall you

your children? When you we're well
organized did you neth ave a potent
influence in the establishment of the
State Normal and Industrial College
and the Agricultural and Mechanical
College? Did you not reduce the
rate of interest to 6 per cent in spite
of the cry that you would drive money
out of the State and ruin the bust
ness interests of the country? Did
you not establish a Railroad Commits
