Korfo&Tlrcimaa- Referring to a report recently is- soed by the Boreaa of Statistics, De- Dartmeat of Arrteattare, showing that the railed States as aa exporter of wheat aad Soar is rapidly declining, while other wheat aad Soar prodadag countries are advaaeiBg. the Boaaoke Times says: "This may be viewed from one or two eaasea, or from both. namely, that we are growing k wheat, or that oar national sopsla- tios it tnmaxteg so rapidly that oar home eoasaraptioa ia reducing the ex port." That the United Stated la growing less wheat ia the aggregate today than formerly we are iaeUaed to doubt, bat that its popolatioa ia ia ereaiing ia greater proportioa thaa tu prodaettoa of wheat hi probabry a fact. It also seems to be a tact. shown by figure furnished br the Boreaa of Statistics aad aaotea by The Times, that the per capita e samption of wheat prodaets ia this country is oa the increase. - Bat these two facts, while contributing to that end, win not ia themselves serve to explain the rapid, aad steady deehae ia oar exportatioas -of wheat aad wheat products la recent yean. The principal cause for tola falling off. which is aot confined to wheat ea portaUone bat laclndes agncaitsral a Lports generally.

Time waa whea the United states was the chief, if not the sole, soaree apoa which Europe had to draw for any de ficiency ia its wheat supply, and long as those eoadition obtained we found a ready market abroad tor oar prod set in proportioa to the extent of the shortage la tha forelga ontpoL But la recent years things la this res pect have gradually changed an til to day Great Britain aad other Earopeaa nations are ao longer altogether de pendent apoa as for their swppry of grain. Argentine and other South American coon tries have bow become large producers of wheat, aad so has Canada, and to-day ia supplementing their supplies Earopeaa aatloBs give them the preference over as. The reason is aot far to seek. Ar gentina and Canada accept ia ex change for their wheat articles afaa b factored In the countries la which the wheat is sold. We snot oat those ar ticles with a tariff wall aad demand cash la payment for car wheat. Their policy is a recognition and applica tion of tha ' fundamental principle which underlies all trade between na tions as between Individuals barter, the exchange for one commodity for another. Our policy Is aa attempt, ab ortive at best, to nullify that princi ple. Under sack circumstances It Is not strange that the exportatioas of wheat and other farm prod nets by the United States are rapidly and steadily declining, while those of Argentina, Canada and other Countries are ad vancing. It would be strange if such were aot tha ease,.' -'-' .;:.; -rj- I' The burden imposed by oar inlqalt' oas tariff system falls apoa every class of consumers in the country, bat upon none so heavily as apoa tha farmer.

It waa self acting, nnd on July 1. 1M7. became a law, and no de cree of a circuit Jadge of the United States enjoining the corporation com minskners and attorney-reneral could or did prevent Its becoming a law. The law is. therefore, now in effect nnd the agents, servants and en ploy es of the railroads, who since the let day of July hare charged, demanded nnd i eeived a greater rata thae 2H cU per mile have violated the pmia letter of the law and are name so mam- meat as well as the higher officials of the roads who advised and directed their scents to do SO. The decree of the Circuit Court of the United States did not pretend to enjoin the enforcement of the crim inal violation of the rate law, nnd I do not believe aar Judge after reading the case of Pitts vs. McGer, 172 U. S. Re ports, Page 172. and eases there cited, will ever attempt to make so high handed aa order, bat win leave the criminal law to be enforced by trial. appeal, etc aa provided by the eonsti tntions. both of the state aad Catted States. Aa executive officer of the state tt is made ay doty to see Ihat the criminal laws of the state are enforced. To do leas is to violate ay oath. Tha taw ts being violated every day. I therefore ask you as n Jadge of the Superior Court of the state to properly instruct the grand Jury and to direct the soli citor of roar district to seed bills against tha agent nnd employes of the railroad or its higher omdala, thus openly acting in defiance of law. I do not desire unnecessarily to mulct the railroads in costs nnd ex- nensea br sending n great number of Indictments against thea, bat only enough to test ia the state courts eve ry ohase of the taw. to the end that the guilty parties aaay be punished. If the railroads nnd given this taw a fair test (and many are) to nee if they could bve under tte provtskms with out their property being confiscated, and had found that they could not, the people of our state are Just, and. I told some of their lending officers, I would have promptly called a spec station of the legislature to have rem edied any wrong; bat la is a aerie thing for a railroad, before ever at tempting to aea if tt could five under the htWs provistona, to rush into the federal court to seek to eajota the will of a sovereign state an pressed br the general its em My. I desire no con fiiet between the Inderal aad state an thortUes. aad there win be none If the plain letter of tha decisions of the 8a preae Court of tha United States te observed, but, as : governor of the state. I feel n great wrong- in oetng done the state, and therefore desire that la our own tribunal thla law shall be fairly aad tally tested. This can be done by indtettng the violators of said law and letting them eouse into court. Baking their defense, thus rais ing the ecvsUtntiooaitty of thin act and the right of n federal Judge to abrogate tt before first declaring tt unconstitutional. As chief executive of the state.

Section 72 of the Revised Statutes of the United State bears tormedlate- ly upon thin subject, nnd Is as follows The writ of injunction shall not be granted by nay court of tha United States to stay proceedings in aay court of a State, except ia rises where nek ajunetion aay be authorized by any ', htw reiatlng to proceedings la nanarwptcy.T - f . , Ws e rr, ; . i f., f -. - JAn -stooslng' attempt Is made by some of tha Federalists to ascribe the aaae anUtority to the "Inferior courts" tick the Constitution gave permis sion to Congress to establish as that with which th Constitution clothed th Supreme Court.

"1 want to commend in the highest terms the charge of Jadge Long to the Wake grand Jury. He has done well as aa able, patriotic and fearless Judge, determined by lawful means to uphold the honor and dignity of the State, and to punish those who vio late her criminal laws. All honor to OBSERVE THE OPPORTUNISTS. When the tariff waa the paramcast name and the presidency and both houses of Congress were held by the Democrats, via: in 18S3 the new In cumbents having been elected because they gave tbeir adheaioa to the plat form of their party, which declared that a tariff for revenue only was the paramount lnsne when that was tie state of the ease, the newly elected Democratic president, aided by the Re publicans nnd such of the Democrat c aenators and congressmen as he had been able to boy with patronage, side tracked that paramount issue In favor of one favored by the Republicans ard the Money Power. Now we find this same elemerl cry ing out for the tariff as the paramount is sue, at a time when tariff legislation is bound to be blocked by a Republi can Senate, even if we carry the presi dency and the House; and when the beneficiaries of the tariff have become. by reason of the profits of fourteen additional years of proteetioa and of the doubling of their wealth by the eemonetizatioa of silver, too strong to be dislodged. Again: whea the real Democrats in Congress were trying test year to aake the railway rate taw as efficient as possible, this suae element sodden ly (bund Itself overcome with seal for 8 tale Rights, which, they declared. were threatened by the proposed Fed eral statute.
