THAT DEADLY PARALLEL.

Ii the Helena Journal shall survive the
present campaign-and that is very
doubtful-its deadly parallel will need
a revision which would be very embar-
RAISING for a respectable journal to
make. That such a revision will have to
be made as it pertains to the wool ques-
ton, the Journal knows now as we'll as
it will know when a Republican congress
shall have assembled and legislated to
place wool OF the free list in obedience
to the command Of the Republican
WOODEN manufacturers Of the east, with
out whose money and political influence
the Republican party would die an in
Simultaneous death. The journal knows
now as we'll as it will know then, that
"free WOOL is the cry now of nearly
every Republican wooden manufacturer
Of the east, and that this cry is heard
now in the council chamber of their Or
CARNATIONS. That a call is now about
to be made by the wooden manufacturers
OF New England for a convention, the
only business of which will be 10 me-
morialize congress to act and to act at
nee in the removal of the tariff on wool,
and thus save the destruction of their
industry. The Journal owes its existence
and what it is to the political purposes
of the present campaign in Montana,
and it is a part of its business
to deceive the people Of Montana, re-
CARELESS of the present or future,
and regardless Of consequences. 1t is
the especial mission of the Journal to
suppress and peryert facts and thus mis-
lead the people that the spoils of office
may be distributed among its promoters
their ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and to the det-
Of the people. That is its mission
and it is for that, that its working force
is paid, and the better it shall accomplish
its work the more pleasant and profitable
the relation Of principal and agent will
prove to be. But let not those who
Ire interested in the %wO0l-grOW-
ing industry of Montana be deceiv-
I'd by the untruthfui representations of !
The Helena Journal or any other news
PAPER as to the attitude of the Republic

question. However much Dir. {
Iarter and Mr.. Sanders may desire the
Of this Montana industry, {
hey will be confronted (f electeD in the |
lational halls of legislation with an Op- I
'osition in their OWL party which they
will be utterly powerless to resist. Let t
very wool grower in Montana remember I
hat a vote for the Republican ticket at /
he ensuing election means "free wool" p
r it means nothing. And let him re- d
member that the Democratic party is e
lodged to the protection of wool and c
it is III a position to make its prom a
'es good, because the manufacturers &
9ferred to are Republicans and cannot a
l~erefore expect Democratic recogni- u

And again, the Journals deadly par a.

by the context to which the ca

every effort to suppress. Admitting al
an hypothesis that the Journal has pr
1t misrepresented Toole and Maginnis, al
e right Of each to change his views is lc
le Of the glorious privileges Of Ameri- al
n citizenship and n in which wise th
sometimes indulge but fools never. OF
the party which the Journal champions oV
s ever changed its views respecting ra
y public question, however, much de- Ia
anded by altered conditions and the tn
Ogress of the age, if the journal or tn
newspaper will point it out we mi
be pleased to give that party the
neft Of deadly parallel" in these fer
lumns. The Republican party is a do
rty of traditions only, and instead of PR
