A report Is being persistently and

and his friends, that my canvass of
tho state Is in the interest of Hon.
Clark Howell. I have denied this re*
l»orf In the most positive , way when
ever it has been brought to my atten

with the hope, no doubt, that it will
cause my friends to become luke
warm in my behalf.

again, and in the most positive man

Commission would readjust things.
The mills hare the advantages of wat
er rates for their raw material, but
their rates on finished goods are not
as low, relatively, as Mr. Prouty
thinks they should be, and he in
timates that he would put them to a
level proportionately as far below
first class rates as the rates from
Southern mills are below first class
rates from Southern polhi. Notwith
standing the greater distance from the
New England mills, he does not be
lieve that the Southern roads should
be permitted to make rates enabling
Southern cotton goods to compete In
Chicago on equal terms with those of
New England. They go in now on a
parity, and be would have his audi
ence believe that the Commission
would Interfere with the making of
such rates as those on cotton goods
from Atlanta when they are to the
disadvantage pf New England, bat
that when low rates are nude to en :
