 Dear sir--At . regular meeting of Montgomery Division No. 4es. B. of L. employed on the Louisville and Nash vile. R. R, on above date. the follow ing resolutions were unanimousiy adopted:
 Whereas, from many and various causes. the cost of operating and main taining the railroads of the United States has been largely increased dur- ing the past year: and the earnings. and credit of our railroads, by reduc- tion in traffic. rates and adverse iegis- lation, has been materially affected. We believe the railroad business must be given an opportunity to make profits large enough to tempt capital from everywhere to seek investment therein. A on the prosperity of the railroads ok this renptry largely de- pend the general welfare and pros- perity of it's people.
 We further believe. if we would sea a change. which would once more start every idle wheel turning. which would Furnish employment to every idle hand, and cause the music of progress to be heard once more throughout the iani railroads must be enabled by larger earnings to practically rebuild the sys- tenis of the country, and we ask the co-operation of the various business interests of the country, to the extent Of helping to bear the burden by &C., cepting an increase In freight raAes which can be made effective without injury to business.
 Resolved, that we do hereby petition the Interstate Commerce Commission. through its secretary. to consider serf- ously the existing conditions and ap- prove an increase in railroad rates. which will once more start the hum of prosperity in our land, and give the railroads an advance in earnings. com mensurate with the increased cost of doing business

PETlTIAN TO SAVE AGED MANS LIFE

RICHMOND. June Ist.-James
fl Price of Russell county is near
ly seventy years old and is in the
county Jail under sentence of
death for a cOld-biOoded murder.
He was sentenced to die June 10,
but Governor Swanson has ex-
tended his lease of life until Iuly
10, in order that he may look into
the case. Price shot and killed
s. s. Rhodes soine months AGO
while very much under the influ-
.ence OF liquor. SO far as the ev-
idenCe shows, the murder was
without the semblance of provo
cation. Price shot Rhodes while
his wife and daughter looked on.
and threatened to kill them.
While the daughter was strug-
CLING to get her father to his feet,
Price walked out on the porch
of the house and fired a second
time. Price is a Confederate
veteran and his old comrades
have united in a petition to have
the sentence committed TO life I'M
prisonmelt. Many of rhe jurors
nave joined in the request.
as have also a great many citizens
OF the country. They do not
think that the old man should
hang. alleging that for years he
has been acting queerly and also
because he has several sons in
the county who bear an excel
lent reputation. The chances
a:e that the old man will spend
his remaining DAYS in the peniten-
tiary.

THE TARIFF ISSUE.
SPECIAL WASHINGTON corr.

Outside of the intricacies Of the
different schedules OF the tariff.
purpcsely made obscure and dit
icult for voters to understand.
the question of high or low tariff
is the real fact at issue. That
plain issue every one can COM
prehend. The present tariff was
especially designed to protect the
trusts and manufacturers from
foreign competition. and the
question of raising revenue fer
the Cove rnment was a secondary
consideration. The Republican
politicians when connecting the
present tariff law to suit the
trusts and protected monopolists
rashly discarded the presumption
that foreign countries, when they
found the schedule so prohibitive
that they could not profitably ex-
port their products to this coun-
try. would retaliate by increasing
their rates of duties, so as to pro-
hibit the importation of American
goods. Foreigners want our
wheat and flour, our corn and
meat and tobacco, and other pro-
ducts they DO not raise themsel-
YES, or do not produce in sufi-
cient quantities to supply their own
consumers, but they dOn'twant our
manufactured goods to compete
With their own like products.
Such countries as Germany,
France, Austria. Rus sia, and in
fact every country, but England
has raised higher tariff barrier
to prevent competition from the
United States, They declare, if
you will not trade with US, we will
buy as little as possible of you.
The trusts try to overcome their
foreign tariff barrier by selling at
much lower prices to the for
eigners than to our own people.
The European and other foreign
markets are loaded down with
bargain counter goods from the
United States, while trust prices
here are still kept at the top
notch.
Therefore, the question the
voters of the United States must
decide at the coming election. is
whether they are satisfied to pay
high prices for much they buy. or
by reducing the tariff participate
in the reduced prices that the for
eigners~ enjoy. That is a very
simple proposition to vote upon.
Those few voters who benefit by
trust nigh prices will, Of course.
vote to continue the Republican
party IN power. Those who think
the trnstS should shift for them
selves and be subject to competi-
ton shat will force them TO sell
their products as cheaply as
abroad will vote the Democratic
ticket.
The Republican National plat
form will declare as former ones
have, for the principle of pro-
lection" and although there may
be promise to revise the tariff,
there will be no direct promise to
revise it lower.
How can the protective prin-
Ciple be perpetuated without con-
tinuing or even increasing the
present rates? Don't be again
fooled by promises unless specific
reductions are included.
