within the party, there are no ques-
tons upon which Republicans differ"
declared Levi p Morton at his Rhine
beck speech, Thursday night. What is
the matter with history2 It occurs to
THE MINER that it was a Republican
National Convention which. in 1884, de-
manded tariff reform; that it was a Re-
publican National Convention which, in
1883, denounced all attempts to reform
the tariff, preferring to surrender the
internal taxes (those on whisky, tobacco,
etc.; and. it The MINER mistakes not, it
was a Republican Senatorial committee
at Washington which, a few of weeks
ago. reported a bill to reform the tariff
by looping off about seventy-fve millions
of dollars annually in taxes. Evidently
there is a difference of opinion among
Republicans somewhere, and On q grave
question, too, or else the Republicans are
doing a deal Of sudden Topping around.
Which il. it, Mr.. Morton?

FROM one position to another have the
Republicans been forced. From opposing
any alteration Of the tariff laws, three
months ago, except that of making rum
and tobacco free, they have now come to
the CONCLUSION that the people really
wan a revision of the tariff and, fearing
the worst if they do not do something,
they have drafted a bill that reduces the
revenues more than that proposed by the
Democrats. There is no use Of denying
it: the Republican party is in desperate

The people are beginning to wonder
whether the Republican party is fighting
this campaign on the Chicago platform
or from the Washington Senatorial enun-
citation. 1t cannot be on both, without a
blfurcation that would be distressing to
those who attempted this feat. We wish
the Inter Mountain" would kindly in
form us, as it would save us the necessity
OF now and then wasting a shot on a de-
serted position

FROM the Virginia City .Madisonian .
CLARK is corralling the popular vote
wherever he goes. The opposition cannot
deny that he has done more to promote
the staple industries Of Montana than
any other man within her borders ; and
fact, coupled with his well-acquired
of the needs of the people,
ought to secure him a rousing majority
the sixth Of November"

He declares that, in Washington alone,
more than 1000 veterans are employed
by the National goyernmsnt. In the Office
Of the Paynaster General thirty out OF
thirtyssix employees are Veterans. In the
public printing Office more than five hum
dred veterans. or.the widows and orphans
of such, can be found.
Notwithstanding the strongest pOlit-
ical pressure, the President has abso-
lutely refused, time and again, toremoye
from their positions many soldiers now
serving under Q tenure of efice in New
York state and elsewhere, A few in
stances Of this fact within the personal
knowledge of Comrade Kay might be
mentioned: General James McLeer, the
one=armed and otherwise g~TieyOusly
wounded postmaster, and Major Aug. c.
Tate, Q. s. marshal, at Brooklyn. N. Y;
Major Theo. L. Poole, who lost an arm in
the war, pension agent at Syracuse. N.
=, and Sidney I. Wilson, who lost both
legs at Gettysburg, pension agent at
Washington. b. C.
The appointment Of George DonnaIy
as postmaster at Waterloo. N. Y, was tho
personal act Of the President; and it was
made for the reason that Donnally wal a
Vetran Of the war.
In the recent amendment of the
United States Civil Service rules, the
President, by an addition thereto, in his
own handwriting. exempted veterans
from a compulsory examination for pro-
motion in5the classified service.
The wal vetrans employed at the
Mansion under President
including Assistant Private
Secretary O. L. Pruden and his door
keeper and messengers, Charles, Loefler,
are retained by President Cleveland, and
his official household the majority Of
the employees are e~x-yeteran soldiers.
Among them are. Col. a. B. Mexican, 9th
Pa. Res, John WEIGH, John M. Jester,
Robert johnson, William Dubois and
John T. Smith. a5.
Other instances of like character are
by Comrade Kay, but these
are enough to show the stupidity Of the
of CleYeland,s luminosity to
Union veterans. The evidence, all the
way through his history as executive,
shows that he has always favored Union
in all appointments and
monuments.

HARD NUTS FOR PROTECTIONIsTs TO
CRACK.

The Kansas City "'Times" proposes
some questions to ask pr~otectionists when
they talk about the blessings of a high
tariff. Among them are these:
Why one million men have been out of
work under it?
Why Pennsylvania miners lost 1928
days work in 1884 and Ill days work in
1885?
Why they only get $40 a month and
pay out of that $3.50 for sharpening tools,
powder and oil?
Why some Pennsylvania laborers work
for so cents a day?
Why they talk about child-labor in Eng
land. when slate pickers, Z to 10 years
old, are working under the rod in Penn
sylvania
Why Pennsylvania operatives pay $5 a
month for company houses, when Eng
lish operatives get a cottage for $50 a
year?
How protection protects workingmen
when Italians and H~ungarians come in
duty free?
Why cotton operatives in Massachusetts
work sixty hours and in other New En-
gland States sixty-six and sixty-nine
hours a week, while English operatives
work only ffty-six?
Why the poorer American spinners get
$7.O7 and the poorer English spinners
1920 a week, though the American
makes two and three-fourths yards of
cloth to the English two and one-half
Why wages under the high protective
tariffs of Italy and Germany are about
one-half what they are in free trade Eng
land ?
Why the condition of the miner has for
some years been growing worse in Penn
sylvania and better in great Britain?
Why "in the very occupations which
SO tax ourselves to protect the Eng
lish workman has, as a rule, the ad-
vantage ?"
Why workingmen earn higher wages
n unprotected than in protected indus
Why "the importation of wooden and
cloths is increasing at a fearful
ate, while our own weayers are thrown
ut of employment?
What good is a tariff to workingmen,
When American factories pay only $3.50
wages for a piece Of ingram carpet on
which the duty would be $21?
What is the use of a tariff, when Lynn
hoe factories, paying nearly double day
RACES, can produce for IS cents labor, a
air of shoes costing so cents to make in
'ngland?
Why wool averaged 28 cents in high
ariff times and 80 cents in low tariff
ears, though blankets were much higher
nder the tariff? /
Why we sold only $776,OOO of WOODEN
Gods to countries were England sold
