Wheels to be Made
BY the National American
Cycle Company.
Plant to be Operated In
Full by April.
Three Hundred Men will be
Given Employment.
Combine Has Not Damaged Business
of Antitrust Concerns.

BY April 1, the plant of the National
American Cycle Company will be oper-
ated in full, and the force of worklnen
will number 300. At present, 1875 men
are at work.
The company expects to manufacture
10000 wheels this season and orders
for almost that number have already
been placed by dealers. Up to date,
this spring, 1000 wheels have been
shipped from the factory.
President j. l. Warman, of the COM
pany, said to Democrat reporter
Wednesday evening that indications
were for very good season for manu-
facturers of bicycles, especially among
the competent concerns that are not In
the trust
While it is n fact that many small
concerns. as we'll as those producing
an inferior class of goods, have been
forced out of business by the trust, 1t is
also noticeable that the reliable estab-
lishments that are not in the trust are
almost swamped with orders. 1t would
seem, fro mreports, that the antitrust
concerns are taking the lead this sea-
son. "Under no conditions said Mr..
Warman, twill the National American
Cycle Company go into the trust"
The classes of goods being manufac-
tured by the local company vary in
prices from $50 to $50. The grades are
included under three names-Path-
finder, Columbian and Akron, the lat.
fer. being the highest priced. !. ~.
Mr.. Warman said that there was a
disposition on the part of the public
this season to give attention only to the
substantial qualities of wheel, and
overlook everything in the way of
fancy trimmings. The styles of wheels
are varied little if any. this season.
The National American Cycle Co. re-
tails no wheels direct in this city All
of its wheels sold in Akron and Sum
nit county are handled by the Stand.
| ard Hardware Company. which has
exclusive rights. The Standard Hard.
ware Company expects to sell 4OC
wheels this season.

Current Press Comment.

One-third of all the voters in Yer
mont are practically disfranchised.
That is what our system OF represen-
tation practically brings about. The
democrats can never by any posi-
bi)lty have any representation what
ever in our senate; and in the house
they can never have the representa-
ton to which their numbers Justly
entitle them. No Vermonter should
ever criticise the suppression of the
negro vote at the south. The white
vote is suppressed in Vermont
burlington News.
The Springfield, Mass, Republi-
can, which has a tendency to mix up
with Vermont politics, has discov-
cred a scheme on foot to make Sena-
tor Percival w. Clement, OF Rutland,
the next governor. With this point
in view it borrows considerable
trouble as to what DR.. Webb will do
as it understands that he is seeking
the same Office. 1t does not take
into consideration Gen. Mccullough
who is supposed to still entertain ar
honorable ambition to serve his
state as chief executive and SAYS
nothing OF Speaker Fletcher D
Proctor, who is credited with early
designs upon the same office. After
the severe senatorial struggle of the
past year it is possible that the vot
ers would be glad of an opportunity
to give attention to a few persona
matters, like corn huskings, prayer
meetings and the constitutional right
of paying their last years taxes
without having the political ambi
tons of men, however worthy
thrust upon their attention. North

tour of the northern states and spoke
in many of the towns and cities.
Bryan repeated his flying trip of
1896 and visited 20 states, travelled
1880 miles and made 687 speeches.
The republicans had no one to match
Bryan in the go campaign, but this
year the candidate for vice presi-

almost equalled Bryan's remarkable

many young people of. the present day
desire,-not as an experiment or as

The value of the preparation thus secur-
