ANNOUNCEMENT,

+. To the Democratic People o
North CaroHna.:-.
!, Having never been a canli
date before you, | now ali
nonnre myself with hesita
ton.
| offer myself for Il seat ir
t h Z United States Senate
; made vacant by the death ot
Senator Vance. In doing
this, | 40 not antdgonize ei.
ther uf the present Senators,
but aspire to an office that
neither OF them seeks.
The two great questions in
volved in the Chicago plat
form were Tariff Reform and
Financial Reform. The Tariff
bill just passed does not full
ly meet expectations, and |
favor such notifications of
it az will deprive every trust
and combine of an adv an.
tage it allows.
On the tariff, and on most
subjects, l stand with our
Democrat tic President an d
give him a cordial and zeal
GUS support. l regret not to
be able to agree with him in
his financial policy. Finan.
cial reform is of the most
pressing Importance, and |
favor inme,iiate action in re-
gard to that matter.
TO many the result OF the
first regular session of our
Democratic Congress h a g
been something of a disap-
pointment. Disappointments
come to all parties. The Re-
publican party is at present
disappointed at the repeal OF
the Mckinley tariff law; at
the enactment of an income
tax; mt the repeal Of the law
our elections under
the supervision OF Federal
Marshals; at the continued |
supremacy OF the Democrats
in the Southern States and
their full accession to power
at Washington, and at the
complete tail Ire OF Republi-
can plans and purposes.
Our disappointnents are
but tenlpory in their nature.
They should make us only
the more determined to press
onward until the principles
of TIE democratic party are
'ully carried into operatio
Ito the lasting benefit and
advantage OF the people, and
.he glory Of our country. In
his cause / have already
spent many years OF my life.
md shall esteem it a privil.
'gs to continue my work in
he new field and high sra
ion to which | aspire. l
therefore, solicit your favor
ind support, trusting that
vou may esteem me worthy
o represent you in the Sen {
tie Chamber, and | beg my
riends. wherever they may
'e, who favormy election, to
" active in urging it.

Lots OF tomfoolery is be

concerning the alleged dis
cord among the democrats
who compose the C'ongr es
sional campaign committee
There is no discord IN The
committee, which is doing all
that 1t Was expected to do
IN the campaign. Secretary
Gardner, who is constantly
at the committee headouar-
ters, said when asked what
he thought of the outlook /:
ut all depends upon the tar
iff bill. Nearly every Con-
gresslonal district in the u.
nited States is interested in
some way or another in this
t . riff bill. A paragraph
which will please the.peop1ein
one district will not please
t h ose adjoining districts.
What will suit the voters of
an eastern state will not be
satisfactory on the Pacific
coast. So you can see how
it is to fore cast re.
suits until we know more of
now the tariff bill is being re-
eived BY the rank and file Of

oect to retain our present

and most Of the other mem
bers of the Cabinet are seek

gress. Ii is the adm inistra.
ton of the new tariff law
that is keeping Secretary
Carlisle in Washington and
working him so hard. Every
hour brings kilograms stat
ing questions that must BE-
submitted to the Secretary
before being answered and
every mail adds it's quota.
Few Of these complications
are important to the geaer-
al pubic, although they are
importantto individuals and
must be carefully straighten.
ed out az the Serretary's de-
cision will set a precedent
which may involve the gain
or loss Of thousands of dol.
lars to the government.
Probably the most import.
ant decision that Secretary
Carlisle has made was that
stopping the payment Of the
sugar bounty on the day the
new law went into effect re-
gFrdiees OF when the applicu-
ton for the bounty was made.
This decision principally nf-
iects the beet sugar makers,
who claim that they should
be paid the bounty upon all
sugar made before the repeal
ut the bounty law went into
and who are making
strong efforts to get Secw-
tary Carlisle to change his
interpretation OF the law, al.

BLAND'S IDEAS.
Bv The Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS, May 19.-In an interview,
Representative X. p. Bland said OF the
platform adopted at Kansas City:
''It is right-right in principle and
right in policy.
awe do not want silver monometalism
any more than we want gold monometai-
lism. The Democracy OF Missouri does
not fiaunt red flag In the face OF any
section or any class of its citizens.
"It demands justice and right, and that,
too, without reading anybody out OF the
party or questioning the honest convic-
tions of any Democrat.
II do not see how we could have made
q better platform. IL is plain and direct
without being offensive to the mi
pority. III we cannot carry this State
upon the Kansas City platform by an
old time majority, then we could not bave
carried IL at all. My own opinion Is that
if we had failed to declare the principles
which the majority OF Democrats in
this State are now 10 entertain
and which more than three fourths OF the
counties directed their delegates TO sup
port and secure to the platform, we would
almost have been wiped out as party
tn November.

ness and deception"

NOT DISHEARTENED.
Many Industries Doing Better-Tarin
and the Coal Strikers Rctard Pro-
gress Somewhat.


NEW YoRE, May ls-R G. Dun &. Co.
Weekly Review Of Trade says
The obstacles to improvement do not
lessen. The strikes Of csal miners and
coal workers have not ceased, but have
caused the stoppage OF numerous works
this week ard em mbarrassments to some
railroads Proceedings In the senate do
not indicate that the latest form Of tariff
revision has made speedy final action
more probable. Yet the erecuperativs force
OF the country is so great that observers
are constantly amazed at the volume Of
business being transacted, the tonnage
being transported, the mum Der of works
resuming operation and the general
soundness of trade. Notwithstanding I'm
fuences which In any other land would
produce dire disaster.
Some industries are clearly doing bet
ter. For the first time I'm many months
the shipments Of boots and shoes from the
east exceed those of the corresponding
week last year. and while the new orders
are not very promising and the majority
OF factories are doing about half as much
as usual, there is sensible Improvement in
demand for women's goods. especially
from the south, though the west is back
ward. Some shading OF prices in leather
has not brought out increased business.
Increased Wool sales.
Once more the sales OF wool, l,655. 500
pounds Tor the week at the three chief
markets. against 2,6l6. 900 last year, indi-
Gates preparation for more manufacture.
and resumption Of work by some mills 10
announced, although there are many
others which expect to close with this
month II samples now being distributed
do not bring satisfactory orders.
The long strike OF miners results in
better prices for Bessemer iron, steel and
many steel products, and to IRON ma king
concerns OF the east partly compens ates
Tor the overwhelming advantage which
the Pittsburg and Ohio region had se-
cured in the fierce competition for some
months.
Wheat has sold at 81 cents for May and
81 7-S cents for July, though western re-
ceipts have been only 1915 ,543 bushels for
the week. against =. .3l3, ,046 last year. Ex-
ports were but 79l, 727, against 1900, ,l64
bushels last year. and the fact that gold
goes instead OF wheat at 81 cents or cotton
at 1l9 cents has more weight than the
rapidly Frightening prospects of yield
next fall
The soundness of the commercial world
is shown in the diminishing Importance
OF failures, the liabilities reported for
the second week of May amounting TO
only $780,, ,5sS. Of which 81 400. .932 were of
trading and ti32, ,606 of manufacturing
concerns.
The failures this week have been go In
the United States. against 2i7 last year,
and "A in Canada, against IA last year.
