timated ahead of time by the questions
that Senator Hale put to Senator Car
ter. The Maine man has been holding
his peace about tariff, because he feels
that he has plenty of talk to make on
schedules that come farther along in
the bill and on schedules to which he
has given more attention as MEM
Der of the committee than to those i'm
mediately under consideration. he
drove several nails before he sat down,
making it plain that the finance conf
mittee had not been working in cor
ner, that it had furnished the Senate
with every bit of information it had
asked for and with amazing prompt
ness Considering the enormous amount
OF work that the committee had to do
and the great range of subjects the
tariff covered, there had been an enor-
nous amount of publicity in that con-
nection-in fact there had been more
publicity abou. the making of the pres
ent tariff bill than about any of its
predecessors.
And when Senator Hale had taken
his seat, the effective group work was
continued by the appearance of Sena-
tor Lodge of Massachusetts,. He is one
of the Senate's convincing speakers and
he hammered away for Is minutes with
as terse and convincing English as
the Senate has heard in many day
He had been chosen for the climax OF
the group stroke and the prOgressives
were brought to realize that they had
been met by movement like unto their
own. 1t was fine and dramatic clos
ing of strenuous week.
There is promise Of more of this kind
of group effort. The Westerners are
making their plans to work in COM
panics They have well ordered
leadership and whenever they want to
score a point they pick out a half doz-
en- men. Each is shown what is eN-
pected of him and he studies on that
particular subject. He reads all he
can End about it, goes over the argu-
ments pro and con with other senators
who have information in that line
consults experts for facts and for veri-
fication of his assertions till he is in
position to combat the wise brains
of the finance committee. When the
clock strikes for him, he is on his feet
and occupies the Senate till the discus
sion of the point assigned him has been
exhausted. AS the Senate passes to
another paragraph. up comes another
Western senator He has been bon
ing" on that particular subject and he
takes the lead in arguing and queS-
tioning. So it gees the round of the
Western Republicans who have left
the reservation. Sometimes the Demo-
Gratis mix in but they are generally
content to let the Republicans scrap
it out" among themselves. Out in tine
cloakrooms and the Hobbies the Demo-
Gratis hasten 10 tell these Western Re-
publicans what fine fellows they are
and how their speeches are enjoyed.
Senator Aldrich has his finance
forces tOled off in like fashion. although
he is the captain OF practically all of
them The senators of the committee
who gave special consideration to par
ticular schedules are expected to be to
the front to defend them from attack
and they have not failed thus far to
make good.

STRENGTH TO YOUR ARM

What a Johnston County Farmer Says
Tobacco Farmers Urge That a

Especial to News and Ooserver.)

Especial to News and Coserver.)
Kenly, N. c., Aug. 21.-God
strengthen your arm to rain blows
ings of the tobacco trust, until a fire
Of Indignation and independence from
outraged public sentiment will drive it
and it's horde of commercial and po-
litical agents, employees and apollo
giZerS from the borders Of North Car
Dina. While I raise other crops than
tobacco my tenants raise tobacco
largely, and I know they are growing
poorer every year, and this makes
me poorer. They work hard, live
hard, have nothing to spend during
the entire season, and at the end Of
h year are disconnected naturally.
The strange thing about it is, they
think hare Of me, their landlord, in
stead of the fellow that keeps down
prices, and that other fellow thai for a
big profit induces them to buy more
guano on time than they ought. There
is not a bit of use of my advising them
in the spring to plant less Of ~so-called
money crops of tobacco and cotton,
buy less guano and food stuffs. They
listen at the guano agent and the
sleek tobacco trust agents scattered
gu "AAA'+o w. 5000
garden truck for their families on
gardens given without cost for rent,
in their mad desire each year to make
big money out Of tobacco and cotton,
for they find after pitching their crops,
their fertilizer bills and other expenses
that they will just have to make big
money to pay out.
Representatives and a~pologists Of
the trusts rear and rave and foam at
the mouth when a brave, fearless edi-
tor advises the "kind1ing Of a fire Of
public Indignation under them" ard
yet in their punishments of business
competitors, public men or local pa
pers hat would dare defy them, they
do not stop at kindling a fire, but with
the power of Jehovah, they relentless
Iy- blast with the swirt deadly stroke
of financial lightning. In order to rot
the farmer continuously, and undetec-
ted, they needs must iguratively as
sassinate or corrupt the Waterman.
Excuse this plain speaking, but it is
high time all farmers were speaking
out.

Rocky Mount Market.

Especial to News and Observer.)
Rocky Mount, Aug. 21.-While the
receipts of leaf tobacco have not been
heavy, they have been fairly good,
considering the fact that the farmers
are all still busy curing. Sales for
the week amount to about 125,00O
pounds, at an average of about $500,
which is a little more than the av-
erage for the month of August last
year; while the entire crop last sea-
son averaged 10 cents. The grade
of tobacco is about the same. the Of
ferings consisting mostly of bottom
leaf primings, many Of which are
not worth harvesting, n necessarily
sell at a. very low figure. Whenever
good tobacco. with good color and
body, appears it readily sells for 9 to
II cents, and in some cases as high
as 20 cents. The impression pre-
walls that this Is a very inferior crop
of tobacco, taken as a whole, and if
ANYTHING like the figures of last year
are obtained, 1t will have solo we'll.
The independents, as we'll as the
large companies, are active bidders on
the sales, and a good feeling pre-
walls among our tobacco men as a.
rule. AS the crop will practically all
be cured by the end of the present
week. we expect sales to increase in
size and be better in quality from
now on.
