A party of well known gentlemen

resenting four different professions and
businesses We're discussing the Pritchard
resolution asking the Senate to declare
the amendment unconstitutional.
1.-The game is simply to circulate cam
paign literature at the expense of the
United States" said one.
1T has not the slightest chance OF
ever getting through" said another.
'.Pritchard hopes to get the Senate TO
declare that the amendment is uncon-
stitutional that he may come back to
North Carolina and tell those who do not
know that the Senate has nothing to do
with it that the great Senate of the
United States has already declared the
amendment unconstitutional" added a
third.

in the coming campaign.

ed has been completed and its figures
show that the year has been record
breaker. The total volume is reported
at $2,244 ,193,543. Imports amounted
to SS49, ia 1929 and exports to $780,
479,2l4.
Compared with previous fiscal years,
the imports of 1900 have been exceed
ed only once-in 1S93-when they were
$l6, 900 larger. The value of ex-
ports last year has never been exceed
ed, the largest previous total being for
1898, when they were $l63 900 900 less
than in the year just ended.
During the ten years from 1890 to
1900, the average yearly balance OF
trade in favor Of the United States was
$270, 2SS, 900. In one year only was
the balance against this country. In
1893 imports exceeded the exports in the

Secretary Long referred to the Ore
gon in his recent dispatch to Comman-
der Wilde as "The Constitution of this
generation" Why cannot the ship
whose career is most s.rikingly indi-
vidual, be allowed to retain her indi-
viduality? Why and how is the Oregon
"The Constitution of this generation"
any more than, or 80 much as, the Con-
stitutionwas the Bon Homme Richard of
its generation? The Constitution was a
very famous ship of its time, and it was
thrice fortunate in having Oliver Wen
dell Holmes to keep it's glories pealing
"down through the corridors of time"
There is little in the Oregon or her
story to remind one of the Constitution,
except that she was glorifed by the
bravery and heroism of American sail
ors-the heritage of other famous
ships. The Oregon is the historic ship
of this generation. Her glory is all her
own, all of her own making. Her story
is entirely unique, she is the Oregon of
this generation, and her fame needs no
gliding from the reflected light of
other heroes of the sea. 1t will shine
in history by it's own cleaning light.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The full
text Oh Chlna's appeal to the United
States to mediate and this govern
meuts reply were made public this
morning. The imperial message, after
aluding to the long and friendly rela-
tious between the United States and
China says:
"Neither country distrusts the other
but mutual antipathy between the
Chinese and Christian missions has
caused foreign powers to view with un-
warranted suspicion the position of the
imperial government as favorable to
The result has been that Taku forts

tous consequences. Now China, driven
by the irresist9bl, course of events,
has unfortunately incurred we'll nigh

the present difficulty China places spe-
cial reliance i'll the United States. We
ask your EXcelleDcy In all sincerity and
| candidates. to devise measures and
take the initiative towards bringing
about concert of the powers for the
| restoration Of order and peace. The
favor of kind reply is earnestly re-
quested and awaited with the greatest
a.acrity."
The reply of the United States to the
foregoing expresses pleasure that the
Chinese Emperor recognizes the fact
that the United States desires nothing
but what is just and equitable, that the
purpose for which we landed troops
was to rescue the legation and for the
protection of America in China. The
same purpose was publicly declared by
all the powers which landed troops.

war on two petty republics of South

The seesawing of the reports from
China respecting the fate of the for

was alive July 10, the circumstances as
to the condition of himself and fellow
prisoners do not encourage the hope
that they could hold out till relief is
pushed up from Tien Tsin. If the
Conger dispatch is trustworthy, and a
Chinese force is stoutly defending the
foreigners, and can protect them till the
allies bring relief, one element in the
Chinese government will be entitled to
very distinguished consideration when
the day of settlement comes and the
question of determining the empires

numbers two billion dollars. During
the three years of President McKin-
ley's administration the aggregate bal
ance has been 81 500 ,072,374
Great cutlery was made, few years
ago, when in the course OF the expan-
sion OF this nations affAi its annual
expenditures reached the sum of bill
ion dollars. Compensation for this
exhibit was found in the dawnng fact
that the United S States had also become
billion dollar country commercially.
Its annual expenditures could no long
er be restrained within the pent limits
of more primitive times. In the mat.
ter of its foreign trade this is now con-
siderably more than two billion dol
lar country. This is "imperialism,' or
"expansion", of the sort that appeals to
the pride and enthusiasm of every
American-or would so appeal If the
CONTRARY minded" would exercise the
demon of partisan politics. When the
political expansion which has been
nurtured and accomplished under Pres
dent McKinley's administration shall
get in its perfect work the nation will
be taking up its march toward the
three bill ion mark.
In this connection a comparison Of
the foreign trade Of the United States
with that of Great Britain and Gar
many, the largest commercial nations
of Europe,is interesting and suggestive.
Here are the figures:
Imports. Exports
Great Britain. 80 $50 619, $3.50 81 2S9, 971 ,039
Germany.......1,23 6 8SS, $50 $40, 957, $3.50
United States. ,S49, TIA, 329 1894, 479,214
The imports OF the United States are
much the smallest, its exports far the
largest in the comparison, aud the Unit
ed States alone has balance of trade
in its favor. Any reader with a dispos-
ition to go further into details can com
pute the magnitude and discern the
character of these balances. 1t will be
noticed, further, that the United States
is now a larger exporting nation than
the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
All the leading classes of trade show
an increase of exports: Fisheries,
81 900 900; mining and forestry, So
000, 900; agriculture nearly $50, 900, 900,
and manufactures the enormous sum of
almost 100000, 900 over the exports of
1899.
And still there is a class of politi-
clans, and misguided or wilfully head
ed American citizens, organized under
the lead of Bryan, who are trying to
persuade the voters Of the United
States to turn out of office the PEST
dent and the majority in Congress un-
der whose wise administration and fos-
tering legislation these imperial re-.
suits have been achieved, and put in
their places the supporters and advo-
Gates of financial and economic theories
and policies that would compel CON-
MERGE and industry again to halt their
forces and money to seek the security
of treasury and bankers vaults. They
will not succeed this year. Under
some such malign conjunction of the
wild forces of the political heavens as
met in 1892, a majority of the voters
of these United States may again be
induced TO run amuck and tilt at their
dearest interests. The intoxication
will not, however, be induced while
the "stomach cutting" under the last
Democratic administration is still q
vivid memory.
