Of Freight Rates on the Commerce of
the Country and the Countrys
Prosperity nnd the Propos-
ed Charges
There is no question or proposi-
tion that carries with it so much
vital interest to the country at
large as tho one that heads this ar-
ticle To say that it is a question
easy of solution is to openly admit
ones Ignorance That it is com-
plicated dangerous and requires
tho closest most careful and con-
servative consideration no one will
deny who has given tho question
the consideration it deserves
Tho main and vital question is
can the rate of freight bo eo adjust-
ed as to be beneficial both to tho
conntry at largo and the railroads
at one and the same time In
other words make the rates auto-
matic in their workings that is to
say when the price of a commodi-
ty goes down the rates go down
proportionally and when an ad-
vance is made u corresponding ad-
vance in rates To accomplish this
the Jimpiecute would suggest that
the rate of freight be based on the
valuation or invoice price of the ar-
ticles shipped To Insure a cor-
rect valuation require an affidavit
to accompany every application for
a bill of lading To make our po
sition plain if on the first day of
the month 100 bales of cotton was
shipped costng Fifty dollars per
balo and the 15th of the month 100
bales was shipped costing Forty
five dollars per bale under the
proposition wo submit the freight
paid would be correspondingly
lower for the latter shipment ifon
the other hand the cotton was
worth fiftyfive dollars per balo tho
freight paid would have been pro-
portionately higher It occurs to
ub that in this way the rates
would adjust themselves to the for
tunate or unfortunate condition of
the markets Under the present
condition or rating if the riite from
Jefferson to New Orleans 1S8350
per balfo and th ecdtf6n goo < ti
to S25p0 per bale the rate ia the
same and it is equally true if it
goes to 850 per bale tho rote is the
same To us we think it would
be more satisfactory to have the
rates of freight advance and decline
with the markets this would not
create any confusion because the
rate should be fixed by law as the
rate of interest is and based on the
same economic principles Our
second proposition is that the in-
terstate law should be so amended
as to require the residents of every
trunk line working under the law
to meet the Interstate Commission
in Washington in December of
every year to make and adjust the
rates tor tho following year In
this way as soon as the rates were
poblished the country would know
exactly what to depend on If this
was dune there could bo no flucta
tions no over buying because of
cheap rates Every merchant
would stand on tho samo footing
tho rich would not buy at the ex
pense of tho merchant There is
nothing more demoralizing to trade
than Uuctuativo freight rates The
great advantage of having rates ba
sed on values is that every road in
the country would be interested in
maintaining prices of all commodi-
ties
Should the annual rate law be-
come effective then the roads
could curtail their expenses very
considerably An other thing that
should be considered every stato
that has a commission should com-
pare lattB and mako the rated
equal A road in Texas should
not be paid more for landing the
same class or quality of Jgoods the
same distance than is paid in nfij
ot ei stitef in othei words nil ra
tes should be on a parity Appar-
ently another great injustice is the
prorate of through froight If a
road can haul on a through rnte for
2c per hundred the same road
should bo made to haul the bamti
class of local freight for not exceed-
ing fifteen per cent more than the
through rate In other words
freight rates should Jbe made uni-
form throughout the country as far
as possible The Jimfiecute un-
derstands the proposition that the
more traffic the cheaper it can be
handled and it also remembers
tl At TexoB raises over three mil-
lion bales of cotton and other pro
duels proportionately hence the
rates should bo in sympathy with
the amount of freight originating
in tho state with a guaranteed
freight rate sufficiently low the
country would prospor despite the
many isms that is being thrown
in the face of prosperity
Ilond freight ratos of all chances
to fluctuate mako itsolf Belf ad-
justing let the commercial world
know that there can be no tamper-
ing with rates that they adjust
themselves to the valuation of the
goods then we boliove you will see
the country prospor Prosperity
depends on a clear commercial sky
ahead with no spots in the sun
falling or rising barometers no eye
lonosfiOT cornors nothing of the
kind When the business of the
country reaches nuch a healthy
condition then prosperity will stay
with us

ing last night escorting a young

wrote a note giving instructions
concerning his body nnd placed it
in his inside coat pocket This

ting near him but nobody knew
what tjio jote contained at the
time After tho sorvices were over
Mr Cannon escorted the young
lady to her home and bidding her
good night returned to the public
square and shot himself through
the head He was not more than

Mrs ElixaWlko says I would be In
my grave now If It had not been for your
Godsent remedy Peruno Everybody
says I am looking go much bbtter No
doctor could help me as Peruua did I
was a brokondowu woman It is now
seven years past that I was cured
Mm Sarah Uallll7of Luton la al = o
writes I was suffering with the chaago
of life I had spells of flowing trery
two or three weeks which would lcae
mo nearly doad I had given up hope of
being cured when I heard of Dr Hart
mans remedies and began to use them
I am entlroly cured and give all the
oredlt to Feruna
But comparatively few women who
ore suffering with pelvic catarrh know
that this Is the case Their trouble
Is called dyspopslaheart troublefemale
weaknessweak lungs nervous debility
Indeed almost the whole category of
medlaal terms has been applied to ca-
tarrh of some organ of the femalo
anatomy If these women could only
realize that their trouble Is probably ca
tarrh of the organs peoullar to women ol
pelvlo organs and cure themselves with
Peruna how much unnecessary suffer-
Ing would be saved

CincinnatiO says Two years ago I
fell on tho Ice At first I did not think
that I had hurt myself but several
months after I feltpatns in tho abdomen
and a little later my menses failed to
appear I wrote to you in regard to it
hearing that you cured femalo troubles
and followed your directions I took
Peruna and Mannlln I now havo
tho best of health
Mrs Mario Hanson of Nlebull Wis
writes About two years ago I had dis
ease of tho kid-
neys and womb
I was in a weak
nervous condi-
tion and began to
have dreadful
palpitation of tho
heart I was con-
fined to the bed
I had given up
all liopo of ever
being well again
I commenced
taking Peruna I found relief when I
had taken the first bottle Now I have
taken seven bottles of Peruna I thank
you for your advice and I am glad I can
say that I am well now
Dr Ilartman has written a book
especially for womon It treats of female
catarrh in all its different phases and
stages It contains oommon sense talks
on subjects which should interest every
