At the forty-ninth session OF Congress
the Democratic House passed at the direct
request of the Knights OF Labor nine i'm
portant bills. One of the most important
of these is protecting employees by provld-
ing all the property OF employers shall be
held liable for amounts due employees;
another protects laborers from competl'
ton with convict labor. a third grants the
right to organize-a striking contrast to the
rules enforced at Timberline. These nine
bills now lie in a Republican Senate. l will

MR.. CLARK's
Gentlemen: To be called upon to address
a. crowd like this, standing in the mud, is a
compliment I highly appreciate. | am
proud OF Walkerville, proud OF your DEM
ocracy and OF your action in making such
a demonstration in the face OF bad weather.

the positions you take. Republicans claim
there are discussions in the Democratic
ranks, but it not so. (Tbree cheers
and a tiger.) What does such a demon.
stration mean as this we see..to-night? It
(Cheers.) Like Major Maginnis, 1 feel
like getting down on my knees and
worshiping This great country, soon
to be the greatest State in the Northwest.
Lacking argument the Republicans depart
into the realms of the imagination and in
dulge freely in sophistry. The Republicans
have en- leavored to instill into u minds
for twenty-four years that III representa-
tive should he in harmony with the admin
istration. We agree with this and that we
do SO agree we will amply demonstrate on
Tuesday.
Mr.. Clark then referred to the position OF
certain Montana Republicans on the silver
question, and said the administration is
not responsible for the decline i'll silver.
Republicans claim that it is, but how do
they explain the rise? They do not at
tempt it. Let us compare the candidates
for Delegate. On the one hand we a a
man opposed to Chinese cheap labor, on
the other n claiming the universal BROTH
erhood OF man. The Democrats have NO
objection to this doctrine with the China
mar left out. (Cheers.)
The price of land, which should be nomi-
nal, has been placed by the railroad com-
pan at such figures az to work hardship
on many a settler who had
made his home on land he had
every reason to suppose he
would have the privilege to purchase at
reasonable price, but the company has
compelled people to vacate or pay all the
land was worth, together with improve
ments put upon it. The subsidies and ex-

would have been %rninous and nave placed
a burden upon us thai would have
been almost inextinguishable. We have
all these railroads without this great debt.
We want more, but the Northern Pacific
says you can't have them. When these
roads are completed freight will be reduced
to at least two-thirds of whatitnow is and
we car snap our fingers at the great copper
producing companies in the east. Our
mills will not then be shut down
because we cannot compete with
those in more favored localities and
the miners who take the risks of mining,
endangering their lives in the underground
workings, or among the smelters, must
share in the advantages. l began life in
Montana in the gravel sluice at 81 a day,
and / don't consider myself n better
man than others to-day. [Cheers.
Joseph K. Toole has laborcd we'll and
faithfully for you. In the silver discussion
at the Constitutional Convention | heard
every word he uttered, and l know he is
sound. Would I, boys, support a man
hostile to the greatest interests OF Mon
tana, and in which l am most vitality in
terested? (Cries of"No! No!")
Sanders in Washington would not be
Sanders in Montana. 1t would be a clear
case of the dog and it's tail, with a very
reasonable probability that the dog would
do the wagging. The intelligence and sa-
and it will march in solid line to the polls
on Tuesday, November I'd. [Cheers, fol.
