TEX VATIOHAL ISSUE- Whatever the issues' may be in the between the Democratic and the Republican Dartiet the tariff iasne will unquea- tionablr lead. The trusts will figure prominently, but the trust and the o together, for there can be no settlement of the trust question which is not based on tariff reduc tion. While there is a high protec- should be such discrimination against the American in favor of the foreign purchaser ? Is there any rea son why the foreigner should reap the benefit of this protective policy, while the protected apply the thumb screws to their home victims ana saueeze the last cent out of them? That fa nrAP.iW what they are do- troods across the oceans, at a small but paying profit, h;ia thpv are eharmncr their home purchasers enormous prices. It will not do to say (for that is a fav that can't fool a ten year old child), that these goods are shipped KmrT ftriri noli at a low price ana sometimes below cost because they are a surplus that the shippers want to get rid of. They want to get rid of it. it ia true, but it is not a sur plus. If it is they are working hard to increase that surplus and tiM tariff there will be trusts, oe-- cause a high protec m 8UCCeeding Bpiendidlv, for they h ATA three times as much of it now as they had a few years ago, and are nroirenitor of trusts. That is why we say the tariff will be the issue. T m rvon'al ism. Republican extrava- eence, the failure of the party to re deem it pledges to Cuba, the money question and others may figure more or less, but there is none or inem which so directly and vitally affect the American people as the tariff question, for the extortion practiced upon them is felt by every TvrwVet and IS especially by the jwv a - pocket of the poor man. There . thstnaanria nPon thousands Of vntpra who differ upon all the other Chatham Record'. The crop u tnreaning om Daair going on steadily adding to it. That riran't fool anyone now. The reason why they sell cheaper in foreign markets than they do at home is because in foreign markets they have competition, which they have not at home, and must meet competitors with prices that they can't go under. If they can do that in foreign coun tries and still make profit enough to make them wish Ao hold and in crease that trade, tney can do the same in the home market, for if they can questions but agree upon that, and 1 .iv ' lucre axw usu vr.. .in their own. markets they should The general health of woman is Inseparably re lated to the local womanly health. When the deli cate womanly organism is diseased, the body loses plumpness, the cheeks lose their roses, and a nervous and fretful condition be comes habitual. Thousands of sick women who have been cured of diseases peculiar to the sex by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion have testified to the restoration of the general health when the local dis ease was cured. "Favorite Prescription" establishes regularity, dries unhealthy drains, heals in flammation and ulceration and cures female weakness.

THAT GREAT IBDUSTRT. If one were to indsre from the racket made by the beet sugar men party thousands of voters wh nave Lurey better ableto compete with when reciprocity with Cuba was nn heretofore supported the protec tive policy who now feel that they have had enoueh of it, that it has, as they say, accomplished its pur pose an can no longer be defended with the, aremmenta advanced in . support of its adoption. The main argument was that the protective policy would stimulate triA MtaMiahment of varied indus tries, and in time make us inde of all other countries for the manufactures which we need. Pat mVa ett argument admit that this is true. This was followed by tha .nntontion that an increase of ma.nnfAtnriea would brine with it low prices, and thus the American people would be more than compen sated for whatever the protective tariff might cost them, although there were Republican statesmen (though not so many now) who had tfca cheek to contend that it was the foreigner who paid the tax, and therefore it cost the American peo nla nothinc If the object of the protective tariff was to stimulate the establishment of manufacturing industries, and the object behind that was to give the people of this country cheaper goods, then the policy has been only partially sue- & rf - - cessful, and in its main pur poae has been a failure, for the American people pay more for what they have to buy to-day than any people on earth. There Isn't a manufactured article shipped across the seas that isn't sold for less money on the other side than it is on this side. It is no vindication of this policy to say that manufactures are cheaper now than they were thirty, twenty or ten years ago, although the tariff duties are higher now than they were thirty, twenty or ten years ago, when our manufacturing indus tries were nearer the infantile state than they are.no w. When produc tion was not so great and labor-saving machinery not so abundant nor so effective prices were, as matter of course, higher than they are now, for prices aregoverned in the natu ral course of trade by the scarcity or abundance of the things wanted. We see this illustrated every day even in the ordinary family marketing. But as a matter of fact the American people are now paying more for the things they buy than they ever did before and more than any other people in the world are paying, not withstanding that our tariff-protected Industries have increased so rapidly, become so numerous and have trebled their exports within the past few years. What, then, becomes of the pre dicted blessing this protective policy was to be to the people by giving them an abundance of good, cheap goods? In this respect it has been a failure and a fraud, and this was the only thing which entitled it to any consideration from them. What does it matter with them if the face of the earth were dotted with manufacturing indmstries if those industries were run to give the foreigner cheap goods and Americans dear goods? And this is precisely what it does. As an illus tration of how it operates in a few items out of many wo quote the following from the Baltimore Sun: For a kac of wire nails the purchas er in the United 8tatea is compelled to pay iJ.33. The foreigner can buy the una quantity and quality of nails for $LSQ. The American price for a coll of rope la $12. The foreigner can pur chase it for $5. For $ 1 our combine will rive the foreigner 100 pounds of lead: the American, however, moat pay L The man across the Atlantic can buy a dozen American shovels for -80; the man in the United Statee moat pay 17.6O. American waab boarda sell ia Europe for $1.70 a doen;lnthe United States, for $3 a down. Our Tla-PUte Trust will sell the European purchaser 100 pounds ef Un-plate for S3.19. wv. . can purchaser 'tivea an order he must them in this market. The people are beginning to un derstand these things now and the anti-tariff-revision statesmen will discover this when they face them on the hustings and are asked ques tions. Whatever the other issues may be this one cannot be made too promi nent. PRESERVING 8WEST POTATOES. The sweet potato crop of the South is not as valuable a one as it might be because of the difficulty in keeping the potato or putting it in form to bear transportation. These are some of the reasons why the sweet potato as a food is con fined to a comparatively limited area, ana almost exclusively to ine sections in which it is grown. If these difficulties were overcome there is little doubt that the use of this potato would become general, for there are few who are not fond of it. and it is said to be four or five times as nutritious as the Irish potato, which is in universal use. To overcome these difficulties the South Carolina Agricultural Ex periment station has been pursuing some experiments, the results of which are given in the following which we clip from the Charleston Neics and Courier: We have just received from Prof. J. 8. Newman, director of the South CaroUaa Arricultural Experiment Statioa, a printed report on "A Nei Method of Preserving "Sweet Pota toes," perfected by himself and Mr. J. T. Pickett, foreman of the station. which will interest all farmer in the 8outh and may prove of inestimable value to them. The report (Bulletin 47) la short and we rive the substance of it. Three years ago the station under took to solve the problem of how to Introduce the sweet potato to com merce, tne two aim cullies to be over come being, to render it less perishable and to reduce its weight ao as to make its shipment practicable their failure as a "market crop" heretofore haying been due to their bulk and weight and to the faet that they would not bear rough handling and exposure to freezing weather. In the first ex periments made, in 1899, the roots were peeled, sliced and dried in a movable evaporator, which reduced their weight to one-fourth and ren dered them imperishable, but their fltvor was practically destroyed. When cooked they did not resemble the cooked fresh potato in consistency or flavor. In 1900 Mr. Pickett learned that Mrs. E. F. McDowell, of Frsnk- lln, N. O., had produced a. satisfactory article by boiling the potatoes be fore evaporating them. Acting on this suggestion, the station obtained fairly good results by the same plan, but the product was of irregular quality many 01 the slices being overcooked nd hard. Enough of the output was properly prepared, however, to de monstrate the correctness of the method, and that satisfactory results were obtainable with a suitable output skilfully handled. To test the "keep ing qualities" of the product some of and has remained in "a state of reser vation for seventeen months, having pissed through two winters and the summer." In the Fall of 1901 experiments were made with thirteen varieties or pota toes to test their comparative adapta tion for the curing process. - The work was done at the station cannery, where the boiling, peeling and evaporating could be expeditiously and economi cally performed. By means of a der rick several bushels of potatoes were lowered in an iron basket Into a large boiler heated by steam. An ordinary laborer peeled and sliced a bushel per hour. It was found that to secure unif orm cooking the roots should be nearly of the same size. Those weigh ing one to two pounds required to be cooked an hour. Six to eight hours were required for evaporation, at a temperature of 150 degrees F. der discussion in Congress he would conclude that it was a great indus try and entitled to the special at tention and protection of our states men. It appears from the crop re port recently published by theDe- partment of Agriculture that the acreage sown in sugar beets this year is ZbU,uuu acres, aisiriDuiea among eleven States. Michigan leads, with 98,000 acres;- Califor nia comes next with 71.234 acres and Colorado third with 39,449 acres, making about four-fifths of the total acreaee. Five of the re maining States which plant beets have less than 5,000 acres. These 260,000 acres if bunched to gether would make a pretty fair sized patch of land about half as large as an average North Carolina county but there is nothing in it to justify the airs the beet 'sugar men put on or to justify their claims and clamor for Bpecial consideration and protection, which costs the American people about $80,000,000 a year. It would be cheaper for them to buy the beet farms and -the sugar mills and let the beet growers and sugar makers go out of busi ness. They have been in this business something over twelve years. They have had a hundred per cent, tariff protection and in that time, while boasting of the great progress they have made, they can show only 260,- 000 acres planted in beets. If it has taken them twelve years to accom plish this much, with so much pro tection, how long would it take them to plant ground enough to produce the 2,400,000 tons of sugar, which the American people now con sume?

These men, as you htve stated. condemn the Dsmocratie administra tion and its party, which have made provisions for the education of the children of the State, because the negroes are incidentally benefited by those provisions. Being a negro, I would say that this condemnation coming from men who have been benefited pecuniarily by negro votes for thirty-five years, is monstrous and alto unique. But in view of the fact that they have prac ticed deception so successfully upon the negro for so long a time, it ia measurably reasonable for them to try it upon the white man They have lead the negro to injury and ruin by causing him to act, in almost all things, antagonistically to the men who were bis best friends in the communities in which he lived. It really seems to me that it ought to be manliest to every negro that a con tinuous following of these men and their allies will result in a continu ance of trouble; but no material bene fit. . If the Democratic party would aot upon the logical Inference ot that cir cular it would practically close the negro schools in North Carolina. These men have thus shown that they are capable or doing anything to obtain power. And they are, therefore, ab solutely unworthy of the trust of any people, mucn less or that 01 the negro. urnzKN.

The cotton market opened steady with prices two to seven points lower and almost im mediately developed pronounced weakness. For the balance of the day the tendency was steadily downward, barring a single slight rally at mid day, which soon gave place to even greater weakness than before, with the market finally at low level or the session. Liquidation of the near positions and bear selling in the new crop months were the feat ures of operations, The distant month selling was led by a well known Waif street operator. The Southern interest appeared to be selling near months here and European longs seemed to be throwing overjheir cotton. The chief basis for this selling movement was the continuation of the fine crop and weather reports which indicated a lu jeess or prooaoie require ments for the new year. The spin ning element was in no burry to se cure supplies and bought very little potton on the break. Commission hoases sold January and March op tions. Southern cotton planters and merchants furnished selling orders to brokers here in the late break, presu mably to hedge against early Fall re ceipts. At the close, about the only buyers were those parties who be lieved the market low enough for the present and entitled to some reaction and preferred taking profits to rlskine i m toailM tne present time. The market closed weak, with prices net nine to twenty-two points lower. Total sales were estimated at 200,000 bales, well distributed through the list. The near months were easily the leaders throughout the decline. .??7YOE: JuIy 84 Cotton quiet --wj, receipts o Dales; gross receipts 255 bales; stock, not reported.

There were fan cy prices again in July oats and July corn to relieve the monotony of a grain session otherwise dull. The former jumped 3c to a new high rec ord price 70 cents. The latter sold at 70c but did not hold its strength. The general situation in crams was very unsatisfactory to the trade at large, owing to . the congestion in ail July options. Fluctuations were narrow in deferred futures, and aside from the fair weather, the beai ish influence that predominated was that of unstraddling September-De cember wheat spreads.
