Raleigh. n. c., Nov. THE al
fractions of the cities and the re-
wards in mining, manufacturing and
other lines of business for exception
al ability, have tended to augment
the city and business life at the ex
pense of farm life, and consequently
there has been ignorance and shift
lessness in the care of soils, depletion
of soil fertility and lessening yields.

warning of the great need for in
creased agricultural population. was
expressed by NJ. V. Richards. land in

1T may be, however, that can
summon enough composure. and calm
my shattered nerves sufficiently TO
lay before you some suggestions
which appear to me to be pertinent
upon the issue which has thus been
raised. Let it be understood once for
all, that we accept, the challenge and
are ready for the fight.
1T will not avail Mr.. Cannon and
his associates anything to declare
that We have joined hands with the
democratic party, for every intelli-
gent man knows that this is simply an
appeal to blind passion and a sense
less prejudice. The insurgents be
lieve that the republican party is the
best instrumentahty to secure and
maintain good government. They are
proud of it's history; they love it's ira
ditiOns; and / venture the prediction
that in the campaign Of next year
their voices will be heard high above
all others defending its doctrines and
sustaining it's candidates. Their
struggle will be within the lines, but
they will not hide the truth as they
see it, for they know that if the re-
publican party is to be permanently
successful, it must be faithful TO It's
platforms, and must meet courage
ously and justly the new age OF COM
merce and business with its new pro-
blems and questions. 1t cannot any
longer be progressive in it's platform
and stand pat in it's congress.

uniform plan of making up railway
tariffs and upon the commission this
duty should be imposed Then, within
a period that would enable the work to
be done, the carriers should be re-
uuired, pursuing a uniform method,
to file with the commission, all their
interstate rates. Then, within FUR
Their period, the commission should
consider these rates not only abso-
lutely, but comparatively. If changes
were thought advisable, hearings
would take place, so that the commits
sion might be fully informed. When
that work is done, the rates shouid
promulgate with the approval Of the
commission, and thereafter, there
should be no change in them without
the consent of the commission. IN
til we are willing to do something OF
this kind, the railways Will be mar
raised by never-ending complaints,
and the people win continue to suffer
the Injustice which now prevails.
But the railway problem is not the
only one which is insisting upon so
