SO FAR as the Democratic party
is concerned, the paramount issue
involved in this Presidential cam
paign is that of Tariff Revision.
The Mills Bill is the main plank of
the Democratic platform. 1t was
proclaimed in the National Con-
vention in St. Louis, it has the in
dorsement OF the President and his
Cabinet and it has been accepted
by the Democratic leaders IN the
House of Representatives. 1t is Il
measure which comes after fifteen
years of promise, and the party,
having taken this bold stand, must
rise or fall by it. Some Of the
hereditary enemies of the Demo-
cratic party are proclaiming that
the Mills Bill is a Free-Trade
measure. While pretending to
favor the election of Cleveland and
Thurman they seek to defeat the
Mills Bill in the House. This is
a covert attempt to overthrow the
party. A failure to pass the meas
ure which has been lifted into
prominence as 1t national issue,
would leave the Democratic party
naked to the enemy in November.
To charge that an effort to reform
the shameful abuse of our tariff
system is a Free-Trade movement
is to insult the intelligence of the
taxed and over-burdened people.
Next to honest administration of
government the great overshadow-
ing issue IN American politics now
is Tariff Revision

LIKE A GREEN BAY TREE.
Tho Mexico Building and Loan
Association and its Condi-
tIon-Retrospective.

Never III the history of Mexico
has the life of any corporation or
association been marked by such II
great number of successes as the
Mexico Building and Loan Associ-
alton. Every share allowed by law
under the present charter-one
thousand is in the hands of the
stockholders, and many more
could readily be disposed of; but
the Association does not deem it
prudent to increase the capital
stock at this time and as a conse-
quence the number of shares can
not be increased.
The Mexico Building and Loan
Association was Incorporated in
February, 1885, under special
law of the State of Missouri for
building and loan associations.
The capital stock was placed at
5000, 600 and the new association
commenced business under the
most auspicious circumstances with
the following officers and directors:
President, c. d. Rodgers; vice
president, J W. Howell; treasurer,
r. Galloway; secretary, J. A. Clan
don; directors, J. w. Howell, J. A.
Glandon, r. Galloway, J. F. Llew-
e]lyn, c. T. Rosenberg, B. F.
Dobyns, A. S. Houston, c. L.
Purnell, {. d. Rodgers, George
Robertson and }. 7. Nelson.
Five hundred shares of stock,
known as series No. l, were issued,
and Immediately taken up. So
great became the demand for stock
in the association that in eight
months Series No. 2 was issued,
consisting of one hundred shares.
Four months later and one year
from the birth of the lively infant
corporation two hundred more
shares were placed on the market.
As before, they were gobbled up by
persons looking for a safe invest
ment. No more stock was issued
until the Association reached its
second birthday, when the event
was celebrated by the issuing of
another series of stock, consisting
of two hundred shares. This ex-
hausted the number allowed un-
der the charter and since then no
new stock has been issued.
Something more than $50, 900
has been loaned, ali OF which is Sc
cured, as provided by the laws of
the Association, on real estate. Mr..
Glandon, the efficient secretary Of
the Association, said this morning
that the loans recently placed
were for the building or improve
ment of fine large houses in this
city.
The present officers of the Asso-
cation are: C. D. Rodgers, presi-
dent; A. S. Houston, vice-presi-
dent; F. V. Gentry, treasurer; J.
A. Glandon, secretary; Geo. Rob
ertson, attorney.
Since its organization. without in
terruption, the Building and Loan
Association has fourished. Now
it is a benefit to all concerned, and
is doubtless productive of as much,
If not more good, than any organi-
zation ever attempted in Mexico.
One reason of its great prosperity
over most mutual benefit associa-
tions is the smallness Of its running
expenses, which amount to nothing,
comparatively.

THE EXCHANGE OF VOTERS.

The EXCHANGE OF VOTERS.
1t is an interesting question, in
the doubtful States especially,
which party will gain most from
the shifting of voters on tho tariff
question.
Upon the answer to this question
the result of the Presidential cleo
ton is likely to turn.
Thus far, with hardly an eXcep-
tion, the Democrats who have an
nounced their desertion of their
party on account of its principle
and policy are beneiiciaries of the
tariff. They are manufacturers,
mine-owners, lumber spectators
or persons otherwise financially
interested i'll preserving the
bounties of the war tariff. There
will undoubtedly be Democratic
working men, still deceived by the
old fallacy that high tariffs make
high wages, who will vote with the
Republicans on this issue. But
the come-outers thus far are nota-
bly, men whom the tariff has made
rich or who hope to gain wealth by
it.
The Republicans who have
thrown off their old allegiance are,
on the contrary, acting upon prin-
ciples. They believe that the sur
plus should be stopped, not spent.
And they hold that the taxes to be
first reduced are those upon the
necessities of the people, not those
upon their luxuries and vices.
1t would seem that the latter
class should be more numerous
that the Democrats must gain by
this exchange Of votes upon the
dominating issue of the campaign.
The taxeaters are few. The tax
payers are many. But there is a
great deal of enlightenment to be
done before a triumph is assured.

Elections in Mexico, our sister

Elections in Mexico, our sister
republic, are always held on Satur-
day. Married men become voters
at the age of IS and single men at
the age of 21 years. Among the
requisites Of voter are his ability
to read and to write and proof of an
honorable means of support. A
list of all the voters in a precinct is
published eight days before cleo
ton, and two or three days previous
to the day of voting printed ballots
are sent to each voter, the names Of
the candidates being left blank for
the voters to insert. Each voter
must sign his name to his ballot,
and every qualified voter is liable
to a fine Oslo ifhe neglects to vote.
The combine" in St. Louis,
against ID. Il. Francis, has done
more toward popularizlng that
gentleman throughout the State
than anything yet introduced. In
the agricultural districts, where he
was supposed to be the weakest, a
tide has set in favoring him, and
the farmers are beginning to under
stand throughout that live, pro-
gressive man at the head of the
State affairs means better price
for their products and a better
recognaition of their rights gen.

Spotted Horse Mine.

3. w. Meadow, one of the original To-
Bors of the Spotted Horse mine, now
sole property Of his wife, is proving
khe most skeptical that his faith was or
by no means misplaced. In 1885 this
bperty was offered for sale for $4,000.
Fling to dispose Of it, Mr.McAdow put in
|little quartz mill OF about three tons
Pacity, and before the summer Of 1887
4 passed had taken out several thous-
4 dollars, developed the property .suf-
enty to be conveniently worked, and
posed Q body Of ore for quantity and
lhness unsurpassed in the district. 1t
Is patent that the little mill used was
far too small, and this spring excaya-
b was made for the erection Of first
rs ten-stamp drop mill, which will be
hpleted and put to work by the first of
It month. This mill will cost in the
ghborhood Of $4,000, and will reduce
m "a to so tons every "a hours. As
n as the mill is started the force in
mine will be increased and Mr.. Nc
pw will then be paying out from $5,-
to $4,000 per month in wages. Thus
+ district has become not only self-sus-
ping, but a producer and means of cir
Eating $4,000 per month in Fergus

and advocated open nominations with a

MONTANA CENTRAL PLANS.
Colonel Br0adwater Speaks Of the Belt
Mountains Branch.

In recent interview at Butte, reported
by the Inter Mountain, Col. Broadwate1
said: "The Belt Mountains branch will
be built, and that this fall. The object is
to get ores for the Great Falls smelter
The road is being surveyed now by En-.
gineer Whitcomb and party of survey
ors and construction will be begun as
soon as possible"
"The big tunnel at Wickes, he said,
would be completed October /, ard that
the first train run through it would be
from St. Paul. He added that finely
equipped train would be put on clean
through from St. Paul to Butte, and Of
the finest pattern"
"When questioned in regard to whether
the Montana Central would build to An
aconda this year, Col. Broadwater said he
did not care to dis cuss that subject. He
would say, however, that the company
felt very warmly toward toward this
country here, and would do all they could
for it.
"The present arrangement whereby the
Northern Pacific allows us to use their
track over the divide, he remarked, was
made in consideration of like privilege
granted by us to them in Minnesota.
There is no obligation on our part to let
them use the tunnel or any part of our
track, but we are willing to let them have
it for fair price,"
AS to coal Col. Broadwater said: "We
have put 200 men at work in the Sand
Coulee country, preparatory to getting
out coal. We are going to put in ma
chinery, air compressors, etc., sufficient
to take out 1000 tons of coal per day.
Mind you, do not say we are going to
take out that much per day, but we are
going to be prepared to do so. You may
state TO the public that we are going to
deliver Sand Coulee coal in Butte inside
Of 90 days. say nothing whatever about
the coal, let it speak for itself, but 1t will
be delivered in Butte inside OF ~ days"
