The protested creed of the demo
cratic party is "equal rights to all,
special privileges to none"
This is only another way of stating
Christ's beautiful definition of the
commandments, 'love your neighbor
as yourself" which it will be difficult
to improve upon, however long the
world shall last.
If this be a good creed to chant in
our churches, place in our party
platforms and proclaim from the
rostrums, why is it not a good creed
10 carry into our business life?.
Why should not every tub through
out the whole business world be made
TO stand on its own bottom?
Why should interior cities be hand
cuffed and placed at the mercy of
seaport cities; and, of all other agen-
cies, why should this be done by the
railroads?
Commercially speaking, the int
rior is the territory naturally belong
ing TO the railroads. Why should
they not protect their own?
This is one of the laws of nature,
yet it is law persistentlv disregard
ed by the railroads.
The merchants of the interior are
nothing more nor less than distribute
ing agents for these arteries of COM
merce, yet, the railroads are perSis-
tently pursuing policy TO put them
ont of business.
1t does seem ridiculous that it is
possible for a barrel of flour TO be
shipped to ocala, from Ocala to Sill
yer Springs, there reloaded and put
on a boat, thence taken to Orange
Springs, half way back to Jackson
vile, cheaper by some cents than the
same barrel is shipped direct to Ocala
for barrel of flour TO be shipped
through ocala to Tampa, a hundred
miles further, for less than it is shipp-
ed to Ocala.
Yet, these are the propositions
confronting the merchants trying TO
do bushes in the interior.
Does it not occur to the most super
fetal reader to he supremely ridieul-
Gus?
Ii occurs 10 us that it must even
tually prove as ruinous 10 the rail-
roads as to the interior merchants.
1t a great city could be built up in
the interior is it not apparent that
every pound of freight shipped in and
shipped out, would be so much griSt
for the railroads; and coming and
going, would find itself passing
through the same hOpper-so why the
interior cities should not receive the
fostering care Of our railroads is one
of the mysteries ofthe transportation
problem.
Speaking for ocala, we desire TO
say that she asks for no special
privilege"
All she asks is for the railroad
world 70 say: You are given an
equal chance with an other cities.

the third morning Il shadow coming
across the suns rays caused me 10
look up and there was the great bird
at his usual hunt to supply the young
eagles with breakfast With his keen
eye piercing the river depths he poised
over particular spot for few mo-
mcnts and then shot down with the
velocity of a cannon ball
Tho waters parted and the eagle was
