The issues of the campaign are all embodied in the State Democratic platform, la tie State they are protection of the amendment and good govern ment to which the Democratic party pledges itself in its State platform. In national politics the issues are by ccmnion consent in North Carolina and the nation, tariff reform, trusts and the for eign policy of the Republican party, which is drifting us to ward the British colonial sys tem , Never before has the Repub lican party drifted so far in the direction of absolute surrender to special interests and the strong centralized government. It regard 3 the Constitution as a piece of India rubber to be stretched to suit Republican ideas and theories. When it suits them it is to be construed to permit bounties and robbery of ihe American tax-payers and consumers by the highest kind of tariff, so that the trusts may flourish ; so that one-half of the Republic shall be free states and Territories and citizens and the other part island possessions aud colonists.—C, R. Thomas at Burgaw. Hancock's Liquid Sulphur baths are superior to those ot' ► the most celebrated sulphur spriugs, having the additional advantage of being made any desired strength.

Why Living is Hiqh. The chief cause for the in crease in the - cost of living is the tariff-fostered trusts. These triisls sell almost every article which we eat and wear and al most every farm implement cheaper in foreign countries than to our own people, deny ing us the right to buy as cheap as Arabs heathens and ailens. The Republicans denounce trusts in their platform, but let uf, see their sincerity on this vital question. In the lifty sixth Congress they pigeon holed an anti-trust bill rather than let it come to a vote. In the last Congress the Senate killed an anti-Trust amendment by a strictly party vote, the Demo crats voting for the amendment j and the Republicans against it. This amendment, too, was in | accordance with a recommenda ! tion of the President in his mes- I sage to Congress. If when Adam was created the Almighty had given him a salary of $22,000 a year, and Adam Lad been so frugal_as not to spend one cent of his income these six thousand years of sal aray would not make him worth as much as this steel trust has made off the people in one short twelve mon'hsv —$140,000.

Poverty and suffering persist not because the desire to cure them is lacking, but because men do not know what the remedy is. The only feature of the original coronrtion program which was not postponed or abandoned when the king was taken ill was the dinner to thp poor of London. Half a million persons were fed by royal boun ty. The motive of the king was good ; but lie did not lessen pov erty in the capital of his empire. Not long ago an aged man in New York turned ever his for tune of f'.ur million dollars t! trustees, who on his death, are to use the income in the care of the worthy sick poor and in maintaining thcrn during their convalescence until they can again become wage-earners. Fourteen years ago another) man in the same city left a mil lion dollars, now increased to three millions, for the "tempor ary relief of uiiobstrusive suffer ing endured by industrious and worthy persons." However wisely the income from these funds may be dis tributed, the trustees are con fronted with the danger of mak ing paupers of the beneficiaries; that is, of strengthening the habit of dependence which is at the bottom of pauperism ; and this, too, in spite of the fact that the object of the givers of the money was to help the poor toward independence. It is beyond human ingenu ity to change the nature of man : to make the shiftless thrifty or the improvident provident; s( it seems to be the best we can do to strive to relieve immediate suffering and to let the ra ical cure proceed in the way fate has ordained, if cure there is> to be. —Selected, Following is the platform adopted by the Democratic State Convention at Greensboro, at its session on July IG, 1902: "We congratulate the people of North Carolina upon the 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 and have given to capital full security 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 shall 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 the great impetus and progress in this great work during the last two years and call atten tion 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 public free school for four months as required by the constitution. We believe thai the permanent presperity of the people of this state de pends largely unon the con struction and maintenance of good roads and we pledge the party to the hearty support of all wise measures to that end. we heartily commend and en i dorse the administration of Gov. Charles li. Aycock ancl other State officials for their faithful execution of the party's prom ises in-so-far as the same has been possible. "We likewise extend our ap preciation and endorsement of United States Senator F. M. ; Simmons and to our Democratic representatives in congress and congratulate them and the peo ple of the State for their faithful and official services to the State in councils of the nation. "We affirm our allegiance to the Democratic party and its principles as enunciated in its national platform. We denounce the policy of imperialism as in augurated by the republican national administration and 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 capital known as trusts and monopolies that stifle competition, throttle individual eifort 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 trusts by its refusal to enact legislation restricting them and enforce in good faith the existing laws against them that party being in full control of all branches of the government. "Wo denounce the present iniquitious, unjust, and trust creating protective tariff, im posed upon the people by the Republican party, and demand its immediate revision, 10 the end that all unjust burdens shall be removed and especially upon ihe necessities of life. Its pro 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 trust mode goods be placed on the free list. We favor the estab lishment of the Appalachian Park and urge that our senators aud 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 bo expected an honest, capableand efficient ad ministration of the government of the State and point with pride to its past history in the admiu- FOR HARNF33 and Raddle "ores Mexican Mustang Mn!« lun nnnncoo men t is just what you need.

We promise the people of the State a contin uance of that honest, safe, con servative and economical gov ernment which has always char acterized democratic rule and pledge our best efforts for the advancement of the material prosperity and happiness of the whole people. "That we favor making all nominations by our party for state and district offices by pri maries and the state executive committee is hereby instructed to formulate a system to regu late primary nominations for the United States Senate and district nominations and we de mand the enactment by the gen eral assembly of appropriate legislation of such primaries: that the State executive com mittee is instructed to call at such time as they think wise a primary to nominate a United States Senator to succeed Sena tor Pritchard, but such primary shall not be held on the day of the general election. A minority report was made as to the clause in reference to the national platform which jprovided : "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 all that relates to the nomination of a United States Senator to succeed Sen ator Pritchard." On motion of Hon. Thomas Skinner this was amended so as to strike out in the platform all relative to primaries and then as amended was adopted.
