A Contrast.

A C00Cf08L
Anaconda Standard: The record shows
that the democratic press Of the state has
kept it's attention fixed on the campaigns
real issues. Fortunately it has n OF been di-
verted with the drivel BY which Mr.. Harri-
sons newspaper has sought to turn atten-
ton to men and to topics which are not q
part Of the contest. Writers for the demo-
cratic press have not been fretted by black
guard illumination about their motives nor
have they found it necessary to defend
against vituperative talk citizens Of this
state who are Loyalty work. for demo-
cratic success. Mr.. Harrison's new spapez
has done it's best to bespatter the campaign
with filthy personality. Meaner things
that he appears to be able to invent have
been said Of some of these men, yet they
live and prosper. Not 90 many months ago
a man who sits by fraud in the federal SEN
ate, referred to Anaconda a. the ''blach
hole" and TO Chairman DAILY and the
friends gathered around him az a man
'around whom these people crawl like lios
ON Flathead Indian" When it comes "a
scurrility, this republican broke the record,
Mr.. Harrison tries to match il, but thus fal
he tries in vain.

One Of the largest metal firms in New
York is sending circular to it's custo-
mers containing the following state
ment:
An ordinary coke plate Of the cheapest
value-such as cans are made out of-will
pay duty of $2.37 per box, or about 40 per
cent. of the value Of the plate. A box OF
these plates made up into cans will increase
the cost of canned goods from L. per cent.
to 20 per cent. It is not generally known
that on all canned goods made in this coun-
try and exported by US there is now rebate
given to the exporter Of 80 per cent. Of the
duties paid. Under the Mckinley bill this
rebate for the benefit of the Standard Oil
company, who are large exporters, will be
increased to 80 per cent; thus. while the
American people have their canned goods
increased from 10 to 20 per cent. box of
tin exported in the shape Of canned goods
pays duty of 2.37 cents, or not ~ cents q
box, against $2.37 for those Of us who are
living under the luxury of tariff bill.

against them. Their faith has been JUS
titled. The fat they yielded up has
been returned to them hundred fold
by the Mckinley law, and they will re-
invest the accrued profits this year with
confidence that they will get usury for
their money. They are backing Carter,
their Montana agent, for all they are
worth. They know that in this tariff
matter he voted to put high and un-
warranted taxes upon his constituents
and that he will not be returned tc
congress unless they respond Literally
to his demands. The democrats Of
Montana are fighting something more
potent and effective than Carter. They
are fighting Quay's Doodle.

IT is utterly untrue to state that DEM
ocratic figures on the McKinley-C Carter
steal are based on an assumed foreign
valuation. In every case the valuation
was adopted, because it was the unit Of
value as given in the official statistics Of
importations for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1889. These are to be found in
the tables reported by tho present conn
mitttee on finance and furnished by the
bureau OF statistics. The figures are
official Thus, in the case Of cotton
ties, the tariff imposes q tax Of 1.3 cents
a pound. The price per pound for last
year - given in the official returns il
exactly the same sum, 1.3 cents. That
il = tax Of 100 per cent. No doubt
about it The figures on knives, on
horses, on cotton velvsts, are all taken
from the same Official republican sources
Il there arc NO articles produced at the
lowest figures, why did the republican
committee put the figures there!

shadow Of respect or some weaker feel
ing for it's originator, has alone prevent
ed its disappearance before this time.
The string itself is an attenuated result
Of infant industry. It expects to In
crease our trade with the countries
south Of US by twitching at them until
they consent to import for our gratifica
ton products Of ours that they them-
selves produce and for which they can
have no eartly use. Another will o the
wisp to cheat the farmer.

The charge that the Mckinley bill
does not raise wages is refuted by the
New York Times. 1t shows conclusively
that republican election day heelers are
going to be better paid than ever. It
says: "Men who have in former years
received but IS for carrying . republi-
can ticket from the ward heller to the
ballot box will this year get az much a.
$3.50, and it may be, in rare instances,
SO for doing the same work. This ad-
vance will, OF course, be attributed to the
new tariff, for il the Mckinley bill had
not passed those who are its beneficial
riss would not have furnished the
wherewithal to make the advance posi-
bic.

Prices Advancing.

NEW YORK, August 15.-R. G. Dun u
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: In
dustries are doing rather less and specu-
tors are dong rather more. That is the
weeks story in brief. The general aver
age of prices Of commodities is rapidly
rising and has advanced not less than 81
per cent during the past week. Wheat
has advanced AZ cents, with a sale of
30. 900, O09 bushels here, and oats 1c, corn
having been pushed quite high before
the report appeared, has since declined
~ cent on a sale Of S,500,0O0 bushels.
Pork is half a dollar per barrel lower,
but hogs are coming forward in great
numbers and do not advance. Exports of
grain are already affected by prices, and
of flour and corn shipments are less than
half those of the same weeks last year.
A heavy decline appears in the weekly
output of pig iron, which was 164. 79S
tons August 1, against 1921 July 1, and
$780, 91 June /. The decrease is attribut-
ed mainly to closing of furnaces for re-
pairs, but last years production
increased 5000 tons from June 1
to August l, and it is noticed
that some southern works which were to
have begun operating two months ago
are still waiting. Prices show little
change, though one large southern con
Germ is reported to be cutting literally.
The demand for finished products is full
and we'll sustained, and some forms of
plate iron are a little higher. Wool
manufactures show no improvement and
many makers express growing disgust at
the slOwness of purchasers except fol
cheaper grades. Wool does not advance
and heavy imports of goods continue.

The Nickel Plate Men May Strike-A
Secret Meeting Held by
Them.

ALBANY, N. ", August 16.-Early this
morning rs u freight train, manned by
Pinkerton men, was passing through the
northern part of the city, several boys
stoned the train. Two Pinkerton men
fired on the crowd, one of the balls pass
ing through the ankle of John McCarly
aged %, a molder,'who was standing near
by. The police arrested Robert Tyler
James shortly after the shooting ARRAY at
Vanwoert street crossing. Edward Can
ary, a Pinkerton man, assaulted Christie
into custody. Another Pinkerton man,
named Charles Paulins, who was walking
up the track at that point, swinging a
loaded gun and n revolver, was arrested
and jailed.
Mccarthy is in the hospital. The ball
entered his leg just above the ankle and
came out on the other side. The leaders
in the STRIKE say their men were not d
party to the trouble. They say the
Knights of Labor assemblies have pa
trolled the locality since the strike began
and will tonight double their force.
When the new men quit work in the
West Albany yards at SIX o'clock this
evening three of them we're approached
by..a committee representing the strikers,
who tried to persuade them to desert the
railroad company. The men refused and
some words ensued, when a number of
Pinkerton men, who had been at supper,
appeared on the scene. One of them
drew his revolver u intimidate the com
mittee, but he was arrested before any
trouble ensued.

ST. Louis, August 18.-Early this
morning Edward Hake shot his wife in
the breast and then shot himself. A few
weeks ago he stole $4,000 from his
father. Mrs. Hake died shortly IN the
afternoon and her husband is very low.
Hake said this morning while being
taken to the hospital that his father had
made 1t a condition for Withdrawing the
prosecution against him for taking
money from his safe, that he should apply
for Il divorce from his wife. This he
consented to do and did enter suit, but
later he found that he loved his wife SO
much that he proceeded to kill her and
himself rather than be separated from
her. This his father denies, but he
charges Mrs. Hale with very bad conduct
toward her husband and with making
serious trouble in both of the families.

1t was learned tonight that the switch
men on the Central and West Shore petit
toned for a change of wages before the
strike. They asked that an answer be re-
turned to the petition on or before Mon
day, August 10. No concession has been
received. "1here!ore," says n OF the
labor agitators now in tow looking on
and encouraging the strikers, "the switch
men are ready to strike ext Monday any
way, If this had not been precipitated. As
it is now the switchmen declare their
men must be taken back and the wages
of all raised, too"
Police are all sleeping at the station
houses tonight, ready for a call to quell
disturbances, at any moment. Up to the
present hour everything is quiet. The
strikers are orderly. They are now in
secret session in Stend's nall, near the
Knights of Labor headquarters. They
are being addressed by labor agitators.
The strike on the New York Central
was further complicated this morning
At 8 o clock the switchmen in the Cen
trails yards struck work and those on the
West Shore system in this city followed
suit. There are upwards of 200 men
in the movement and a freight blockade
at East Buffalo is imminent. The clos.
ing of the West Shore for freight is q
serious matter as it completely cripples
tne Central's facilities for forwarding
freight.

He Goes For the Northern Pacific
Very Mildly in a Mineral
Land Bill.
CARTER REPORTS IT fAvoRAsly.
The Bill Will Not be Considered
at this Late Hour and
Will go Over.
Carter Will Thus Delude Miners
With the Prospect Of Friendly
Legislation.

WASHINGTON, August 18.-Representa-
tive Carte, of Montana today reported to
the house from the committee on mines
and mining a bill to provide for the ex-
animation and classification of certain
mineral lands, etc. 1t authorizes the
secretary Of the interior to speedily cause
all the lands in Montana and Idaho
within the land grant and indemnity land
grant limits of the Northern Pacific Rail
road company to be examined and CLASH
fed by competent persons with special
reference to their mineral or nom mineral
character, and to reject, cancel and disal-
low any and all claims or filings hereto
fore made, or which may hereafter be
made, by or on behalf Of the railroad
company on land in those states classified
~ mineral land.
The word mineral shalhnb* be held to
include iron or coal. The Sill also pro-
vides for appeals from the findings of the
examiners and for such publicity IN the
classification returns as will give notice
to all persons of the conclusions reached
with regard to each tract of land. The
committee thinks that with this publici-
ty and with the right of appeal, it cannot
be maintained that property interests
may be disposed Of under the bill with
out due process of law. The sum of
$4,000 is appropriated to carry out the
provisions of the bill.
Subsequently offers were received from
San Francisco to sell $4,000 ounces at
$1.16 and 200, 900 ounces at $l.1S. Both
offers were accepted. This made the to-
tai offerings today $4,000 ounces and the
total Acceptance H0, 700 ounces.

ALBANY, N. Y, August 1S.-The situa-
ton of the strike in this vicinity appears
to be the same as on the night 1t was in
augurated. The strikers claim hat they
intended NO interruption of the passenger
service on the Central, merely being sat
lstied in tieing up the roads freight traf-
tic. This programme 30 far seems to
have been successfully carried out. At
West Albany tonight the yardmaster said
he had sent out during the day II trains
west and five south. This number OF
trains he said were made up Of empty
cars which were side tracked IN the yards
at Warner and East Albany in order to
relieve the pressure for room In the West
Albany yard.
One Of the leading Knights who has
been patrolling the company's property
at West Albany SAID the only loaded
trains which passed through the yards
south today were the mixed daily train
and cattle train. He added that the road
was shifting cars across the river TO East
Albany and back again 10 order to de
ceive the strikers into the idea that a full
resumption Of the freight traffic was bnt
a question of a short time.
