Tlie fact that it w as well nigh impossible to pros per in tlie country-. The pitiless bur den of unequal taxation, the im|>osd- bility of buying and selling except at other people's prices.

There shall lie no peace' and no truce until this foul outrage upon human rights is oh Ute rated from the face of the earth. - Young gentlemen, there is no grander W'ork for Southern patriotism than tlie upbuilding of rural life to its true dig nity and usefulness and prosperity. If you are inclined in thatdirection, go, hut go with tlie determination that the present false order of things must end; that you shall not be made a political pariah, merely Decause you are a far mer; that your industry shall not be taxed to death in order that great for tunes shall he built up for otlier people, 1.Hem and of your rulers that they treat 1 your industries just as it treats others, equally as to the burdens and equally as to benefits. I would that [ could see the glory come back tf> Southern farms.would that I could see the.gullied fields throw off the sedge and the briar, arid taxe once more to their brown boso'ms gol den grain. I w ish I could see the red June apple of old times-hang in every orchard, and catch the tinkle of the cow bell in every meadow. I wish I could see the old folks come A lien. Ult* ... . .
