Jusr 4 LITTLE HINT.


Suppose the railroads Of Florida had
acted with some degree Of business
acumen and bad fostered and pro
tected the interior towns the same
as they. have the seaport cities, who
can picture what a great State Florida
would be today? And how such q
policy would have built up the rail
road systems Every piece Of freight
coming IA and going out would have
been SO much grist for the railroad
hopper. Giving the interior cities the
same freight rates as given the sea
pert cities and making no discrimi-
nations against any Of them, great
manufacturing Industries would have
been established in al these towns
and cities and the railroad compa-
nies would today be as busy as bees
in the honey-storing season. and then
the freight would be all theirs--they
would not have to share il with the
schooner and steamship companies.
Some OF these days some railroad man
is going to permit an idea to pene-
ate his brain and those who have
their money invested IN railroad stocks
are going to rise up and call the name
OF that man blessed. Ocala Banner

SOW 10 GET CHEAP MEAT.

The Federal Government, in rs

high prices are due to our ignorance
and the meat trusts are not to blame

manufactures must be guaranteed a
reasonable profit BY the Governmental

butcher Is entitled to the same con
sideratIon. In fact everybody receives
consideration from the Republican
party now except the farmers and
they are told that they should DO

But the Government thinks that we

help make the /, fair the success that il

people of Mankato, the villages, Blue
