some natural monopolies, as for
instance, the waterworks system
of our cities, railroads, grist
mills, street railways and a score
of other public service corpora
tions than the nature of things
have their prices regulated. But
oil cannot be controlled, tobacco
cannot be regulated. Their
prices depend entirely upon the
whims of their owners and you
can't regulate their selling price
because a few unnatural mono-
lies control the prices of purchase
and sale.
"A railroad can be regulated.
1t has the right of eminent do
main by which is meant that in
consideration of its public SER
vice a mans property may be
entered, it's right of way driv-
en- through it and the damage
done that property fixed not by
himself but by his neighbors.
This right, not given to any indi-
vidual who might wish to pur-
chase this property ever so badly
proceeds upon the basis of pub
lie service. The railroad is for
all the people and the railroad
can be regulated. The railroads
might charge me ten cents a

doubtless would. | might or

question is more important than
the passenger question. Zap
plause.) | understand the argu-
ment of the companies justifying
the determinations, but in my
opinion they are unsound." And
then Mr.. Kitchin mentioned
some of the glaringly unfair dis.
ordinations with which Durham
merchants have been contendine
several months and which are
thoroughly familiar. Going. back
to the charge that the democrats
who favor railroad regulation
and oppose monopoly yet are
called oppressive radicals. ht
said: t'No sensible man want:
to oppress the railroads. Il
would be as wrong to oppress
these corporations as it is fol-
them to oppress the cities anC
towns through which they run
And now the railroads have sub.
mitted to the proposition of regu'
lation but they have thrown ev'
cry possible obstacle known Il
their igenity TO prevent the ex'
exercise of this right of regula'
tion. And now getting back Il
the principle Of monopoly, the
railroads have no product that
they can withhold from the peo'
pie. Il is a natural monopoly
and can be regulated. You have
heard It said that the democrat
ic party is against rich men, cor
porations of all kinds, manufac
tories and railroads. | deny i
and don't you think all these
bankers, manufacturers anC
wealthy men are in favor of pri
vate monopolies. The man wht
thinks so is a hypocrite or a sim
pleton."
Mr.. Kitchin then rehearsed tn,
history Of the opposition to hin
from the vorious interests.
He declared that when the Ashe
vile Gazette-News published
that the Southern railway ant
the American Tobacco company
were against him 1T was n,
news to me-" And continuing
he said: Il have had to appea

congress and declared that the
enemy who expected him to rush
through bills without any troub-
lie credited him with more power
than his best friends did. He
spoke Of his replies to Linney,
Blackburn, Crumpacker and all
hostile republicans who misrepre.
sented the people of the state.
He represented Crawford when
"The republican stole his seat
and gave it to Richmond Pear
son." he declared leaving his
own record said: Il know why

have always opposed their SUBJ
sides and special privileges and
voted against the fast mail ap-
preparation over the earnest pro-
test, of its vice-president. The
railroad watched my subsequent
record and it knew it could not
control me. I'll admit that ex-
pect to be controlled by those
who elect me. (Applause,)
"If my competitors were bet
ter men than myself and strong
er to withstand temptation, these
special interests would still pre-
fer them because they have nev-
er been tested. That's human
nature. These special interests
never sleep. There are no off
years in politics with them. And
though they often have a man
who talks against them, yet they
hope to get him afterwards.
Don't understand me to say that
my competitors are with the
railroad and special interests,
for / don't believe it. But the
railroads and special interests
are with them. And so are
those democratic papers which
reserve the right to criticise the
party and its platforms and vote
against the ticket, All of those
papers that bolt the ticket are
against me. The bosses and
boilers, the soldiers and kickers
are against me.
Kitchin said nothing better than
the statement of his record on
prohibition. After declaring that
a Southern railway attorney had
tried to make it appear that he
was against the WAITS bill, Mr..
Kitchin gave a hasty resume of
his temperance record, chief of
which, was not how he has al
ways voted (the prohibition tick
et) but his absolute abstemious-
ness. II have never taken a
drink of whiskey, and | am for

anomalous situation presented
by the congressman. He has no
chapter he would seal to public
view. But do noe think that

measure. Itis not a party meas
