Now there are various questions
which you gentlemen ought to realize
are pending. questions that directly
concern the farmer. The tariff inti-
mately concerns the farmer of this
country 1t makes great deal of
dlIference to you that Mr.. Taft the
other day vetoed the steel bill. It
makes difference to you in the cost
of practically every tool that you use.
and 1t ought TO he very significant to
you that Democratic House of
Representatives has just passed the
steel tariff reduction bill over the
Presidents veto, thing | am in
formed is unprecedented in the his
tory of the country-that House
should have passed two tariff meas
ures over the veto of the President.
Tariff measures are not measures
for the merchant merely, and the
manufacturer. The farmer pays just
as big a proportion Of the tariff duties
as anybody else. Indeed, sometimes
when we are challenged to say who
the consumer is as contrasted with
the producer. so far as the tariff Is
concerned. l am tempted to, answer
the farmer because he does not pro-
duce any of the things that get any
material benefit from the tariff and
he consumes all of the things which
are taxed under the tariff system"

RObber Leaves Train, Presumably
iii Ashcyiilc Yards.

Asheville, y. c., Aug. IA lone
train robber, masked and armed
boarded Southern railway train No.

tonight as it was leaving Biltmore
three miles from this city, and cover
ering the express messenger, f.. f.
Carr of Marion, with a revolver. OBJ
tanned package containing $4,000 in
bills. The robber then commanded
Carr to get in the express chest, which
he had just rifled. and locked him in
it. 1t is thought that the robber left
the train as it slowed up for the Ashe-
Vile yards
When the train arrived at the
Asheville station express employees
found Carr locked in the chest. When
released the express messenger was
unable to give a description of his
assailant. saying that the latter was
completely masked.
The train was an hour late at Bilt-
more, fact which the local police
department says the robber was
aware Of.
The express messenger asserts he
had just finished arranging his pack
ages. preparatory to leaving the train
at Asheville, when he was confronted
by masked stranger with a loaded
revolver, who demanded his money.
Carr says the rObber then bound his
hands and forced him to get into the
chest which he locked.
The alarm was quickly given here
and several policemen were sent to-
wards Biltmore on a special train.
Other members of the force boarded
train No. 35 which leaves Asheville
at 1850. 1t was thought that the
robber might have attempted to es-
cape on this train. At midnight to-
night the police and express officials
were still without a clue.
Carr up to July 21 was a clerk in
the Southern Express office at Ma
rion. n. c., when he was given the
