President Har rison announces that Southern-Rail way Company has permanently with drawn from participation in such rates from points where they have been in effect by Southern Railway to meet similar rates offered by com peting lines. ^ Thi3 announcement is in accord ance with the policy of President Har rison to do everything possible to dis courage the movement of people from the South For a number of years Southern Railway has endeavored to discourage the offering of low col onist rates from the South and has only placed them on sale at points where it was felt necessary to meet compstition From this time on. how ever, no such rates will be offered by Southern Railway regardless of any action that may be taken by any other line.

Pessimists may seek to dwarf the results to the country at large, but facts and precedents are all against them. % / Large harvests, ample supplies of money this autumn in the United States, prices a.< yet in many of our products not materially lower, surely will place the inhabitants of the farm ing districts in position to purchase largely of the output of ouh manufac tories. np We have now the testimony of the heads of the railway systems to their roads. ^ It necessitates- the employment of more men, the purchase of more cars, of more motive power; and largely in creased supplies of steel rails and all other material that enters into the transportation business.?Washington Post.
