How Will i. Affect fhc Farmer?
There has nothing definite
i been given the public regard
ling the great harvesting niach
| ino combine just formed, any
'more than that it in- a combin
ation made by tlie consolidation
lof the McCormick, Deering,
i Piano, Champion & Milwaukee
machine companies, and that
it has the enormous capital
stock of *l2O, 000, 000.
The only largo company in
the United States not in the
combine is I>. M. Osborne & Co
established as far back as 1858
and for years acknowleged as
makers of the largest line of
farm machinery and implements
iof any one house in ihe world,
j Whether they are not in the
new organization because they
| would not or could not get in,
'the public does not know. It
is sufficient to assume that the
new company is organized with
I a view of regulating prices and
multiplying profits a id it w uid
seem that the farmer should
find comfort in the thought that
1). M. Osborne & Co. have not j
entered into the compact with j
the rest and and it is hoped that j
a strong enough competition!
can be maintained outside of;
this new mamoth organization •
to guarntee to the agriculture a
reasonable price at which he
may purchase his farm machin
ery.
We understand the O c borne
i Company are thoroughly organ
ized throughout the United
j States ami have a well establish
ed trade in nearly all foreign
contries. Their factory is most
i completed and* as matters now
stand it is the largest in the
! world maintained by any inde
pendent company.

Tie Effect of the Newspaper.
j An observant mind and stu
;dcii of human nature has no
| liit .! trouble to formulate rules
jab' v discover the principles un»
dot ving ihe apparently capri
cious results of newspaper dis
cus ion of individuals.
P would seem that some
ithii.k an attack on the record of
a candidate for public office
tends to secure his election. In j
a recent instance conspicious j
i before tho State a number of j
| ab.e assailants are accredited I
j with securing a nomination. I
! The discussion was fairly fi> e j
: from appearances of persecution j
j and certainly seemed well cal-l
'culated to effect the purpose,)
yet they did not.
i 2sow some will say the at
| tacks through the newspapers
I eflVvted the end they were in
tendeti to defeat. Others how
{ever may be more logical in tli:•
' claim that the results were in
| spite of aud not on account of
j ih.-sc (-{forts.
; It is trangcly true that there
I is in many human b ings; a ten-
UlciiC-y, when injustice is done
05.-4.0u one hand, to fly to him
and do the rest of humanity an i
injustice iT: partiality to him.]
This lvffects very unfavorable j
on the specimens of such men- j
: •.aJ build. But to say that]
! straight forward and fair ex-1
po-ure in the newspapers of
, one's record, for the purpose of
| showing his unfitness for olnce,
infects him favorably seems to
j repudiate all influences of a
j newspaper save possibly for pur-1
! poses of tallying. It places the
i mind of men outside of the pale
|of reasoning IK ings and ranks
them as machines of passion
I and impulse.
j We hope we are not mistaken
iin the belief that the press is a !
I power that makes men feor to
I act badly and that helps the
] public to know the men for
whom they vote and that they
are not instruments of opposite
effects to that which is sought.

Democratic Platform.
Following is the platforn
;it|n]iK(l by the Democratic Htat'.
Convention at Greensboro, at it;
session on July IG, 11*02:
"We congratulate the people
* of North Carolina upon tlu
adoption of the suffrage amend
; ment to our State constitution
and upon the benefits that have
- resulted therefrom and- we
pledge the Democratic party to
faithfully maintain it by every
ligitimate means and we de
mand that the Republican party
shall declare its purpose either
to accept or reject it, and until
it is accepted as a finality by
all parties we declare it the duty
of the white people to stand to
gether for its protection.
"The Democratic party rep
' resenting the intelligence, the
virtue and the manhood of the
people of the State, recalls with
pleasure the entire absence of
scandals during its administra
tion of public affairs and the
gratifying advancement that
has been made amongst us in
all industrial lines. We have
fostered agriculture and pro
moted manufacturing aud have
given to capital full secuiity and
have protected the rights of la
bor. We pledge the party to a
fair and just system of taxation
and we demand that all subjects
of taxation sliail bear the just
and equal proportion of the bur
dens of government.
"We renew our pledges for
the extension and improvement
of the public schools of the State
so that it may keep pace with
the needs and conditions of the
people, and point with pride to i
the great impetus and progress
in this great work during the
last two years and call atten-;
lion to the fact that this year, \
for the first time in the history
of the State, every school dis-;
trict has been able to maintain a j'
public free school for four!'
months as required by the
constitution. We believe thai
tlie permanent prosperity of
the people of this state -de
pends largely upon the con
struction and maintenance ol
good roads and we pledge the
party to the hearty support of
all wiic measures to that end.
we heartily commend and en
dorse the administration of Gov.
Charles B. Aycock and other
•State oflicials for their faithful
execution of the party's prom
ise- iu-so far as the same has
been possible.
"We likewise extend our ap
precision and endorsement of
United States Setia'or F. M.
Simmons and to our Democratic
representatives in congress and
congratulate them and the peo- j
pie of the State for their faithful
and official services to the State
in councils of the nation.
"We affirm our allegiance to i
the Democratic party and its
principles as enunciated in its
national platform. We denounce
the policy of imperialism as in
augurjcfed by the republican
national administration aud de
clare it to be obnoxious to our
form of government and fraught
with danger to the existence of
the republic. We denounce as
oppressive and illegal those com
binations of capita) known as
trusts and monopolies that still-'
competition, throttle individual
effort and destroy the generous
spirit of rivalry that should
exist in the commercial world.
"We denounce the deceptive
and sordid course of the repub
lican party in congress in furth
ering the existence of the trust- :
by its refusal to enact legislation
restricting them and enforce in
y;-->od faith the existing laws
against them that parry being
in full control of all branches or
the government
"We denounce the present
iniquitious, unjust, and trust
creating protective tariff, im
posed upon the people by the
Republican party, and demand
its immediate revision, to the ;
end that all unjust burdens shall j
be removed and especially upon;
the necessities of life. Its pro-1
visions enable the trusts to ex-!
tort from 'the people unreason
able profits and sell their pro
ducts to consumers at home at
greater prices than are charged
for the same goods to the for
eign consumer. We demand,
therefore, that all such trmt
made goods be placed on the
free list. We favor the estab
lishment of the Appalachian
Park and urge that our senators
and representatives in congress
use their best efforts to secure
establishment.
"We again appeal to the peo
ple with a confidence that it is
only from the Democratic party
| that there can be expected an
honest, capableand efficient aei
. ministration of the government
j of the State and point with pride
to its past history in the admin-

A minority report was made
as to the clause in reference to
the national plat.orm which
provided :
"Substitute for the words:
'We reaffirm our allegiance to
the democratic party and the
principles as enunciated in its
national platform, the words.
We reaffirn our allegiance to the
fundamental principles of the
democratic- party.' "
This was voted down and
the original clause was adopted.
There was a minority report
on the paragraph as to the se
lection of candidates as follows :
"Strike out ail that relates
to the nomination of a United
States Senator to s uccccd Sen
ator Pritchard."
On motion of Hon.- Thomas
Skinner this was amended so as
to strike out in the platform all
relative to lifiiuaries and then
as amended was adopted.
