The pipe litw mode of transportation wi s cited aa one instance of this.

Mr. (5ai field nays in this ennnecti in: "I have called attention to these specific instances mere v to i-how the methods, by which determination was nt taiued and the devices which if legal are still merely devN ecu to obtain exactly the re nits as would be obtained bv rebate on interstate bust ties. If the exist ing law mere lv nrohibits thepaiticular di vice lor obtaining discrnnina tion and permits tb" same 1 suit to be accomplished in a diflen nt way, then the h p; latinnto that extent ash.un Ihe President's messng' with which the report was sent to Congress was tin lat ter aa the report itself.

Host to the farmer and others of the country who are entitled to relief from the intolerable burdens thai this great mo- nopoly has fastened upon the people. The L'n niilent s a y s very clmrly that tli- argu meiit so often urged against troveriuneiital control of err poratioas was that it tended lo still" the spirit ot person al initiative on whi -h t h nrosrx ritv of the vonntry de oemleil. Rut hesays iflT'i k een abumlantly proved that the t.Vianical corporation which ran force even the rail roads to truckle to them and do their bi lding do more to tille personl imitative than any other force and that we mast pass laws putting it out of th" power ot the rail road- to comply with t b e niouopolistif demands of th great trust. He calls atten tion to the future of the re port that nays tint only the Standard Oil Cymp.iuy out the Sugar Trust and other great interests have rnnsis n nil v d-tied the law and that it hart been the exception rathet than th" rule for t h e American Sugar R fiaingCo. ever pay. ttie full legal tariff on its goods out of Ni-w York.

Newlai.d, of Lenoir: and looking at tin- matter from -an unselfish standpoint it certainly up Dears that Mr. Newland should he the nominee. And among the many reasons why the party slnald nonii nate him, the lollowiag might be mentioned: It is well known that Mr. Newland made the last ra-e under very discouraging cir ciimstances and a g a i u s t great odds, yet despite this fact, and taking into cousid ration that it was a Rpub lican year, Rlackhurn car ried the district over .New lund by nlaait 215 yotes while Roosevelt cariied it by 800. Mr. Newland actually re ceiyed more votes in the dis triet than any other enndi dah on the ticket. This ol itself should commend him to tic highest ami most fa. oiatdc consideration at Un hands of (hose who will place i he nominee in the field. There are other reasons, loo, why Mr. Newland should have the nomination, b u t the above taken in connec tion with his high tno'-al character his rocognizd a hi I . . . i . . i. :. iiy and worm, we iiiiuk i siillhient, and that the par ty in all just nesa and fair n'Ss should, rceognizuig liis nenr and claims upoa their consideration, reward him nc cordinglv.
