A Democrat tic Thick.

The Milwaukee Sentinel has re-
ceived information that the Demo
cratic State Central committee has
circu lated thousands of emasculated
copies of the Democratic platform
in Lafayette, Green, Iowa and Grant
counties. In this special edition of
the platform the clause demanding
the unconditional repeal of the Ben
nett law is omitted. 1t appears that
the Democratic managers have tried
to pre- pare and are circulating plat
forms to suit the particular districts
to W hich they are to be sent; that in
those parts of the state where they
seek to catch German Catholic and
Lutheran votes, the platform as
adopted by the Democratic state
convention is sent, and where the
friends of the public school FREEDOM
mate, they are practicing a decep-
ton worthy of the gross misrepre-
sen tatlon of the law with which
their campaign speakers, from Villas
down, have sought to mislead the
people who would listen to them,
and are sending out so-called plat
forms with the demand for the re-
peal of the Bennett law omitted.

The Mckinley Bill Gives FreeI
Trade Than Any Passed in
over q Century.

Major William Mckinley, in an
interview said his tariff bill would
increase the demand for labor ma
terially; the tin industry alone would
employ $4,000, and the linen indus
try also large number
The reporter suggested that his
bill is said to be causing the mer-
chants to mark up their goods.
"Presumably they are marking up
goods upon which duties have been
increased. The goods bought be-
fore the bill went into effect could
hardly be subject to any advance.
However, if they advance the price
of goods because of advanced duty,
and will at the same time mark
down the price of goods which have
been put on the free list by the new
bill or where the duties have been
diminished, it will be great boon
to the consumer, for the reductions
Of duty far exceed the advances.
"The bill gives freer trade than
any tariff Legislation that has been
put upon our statute books in more
than century. During the first
thirty years of our history nearly
every article was made dutiable. In
1924 less than per cent. of our

MONTANA, OREGON AND WASHINGTON

The Northern Pacific X. X. passing through
Minnesota, Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon
and Washington was the first line to bring the
region occupied by these states into commun
cation with the east. Its main line and branch
es penetrate all sections of these states reach
ing nine-tenths of the chief cities. 1t is the
short line to Helena and Butte, Mont, Spokane
Falls Tacoma and Seattle, WASH, and Port
land. Ore, and the only line running through
train service from the east through the states
of Montana and Washington. Pullman sleep
ers and furnished tourist sleeping cars are run
via the Wisconsin Central and Northern Pacific,
and Pullman palace sleeping cars via Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul and. Northern Pacific,
from Chicago through to the Pacific Coast with
out change. This is the Dining Car and Yellow
stone Park route. The large travel on the
Northern Pacific line necesstated the inaugu-
ration in june 1890, of a second through train
to the Pacific Coast, thus enabling this road to
offer the public the advantage of two through
trains daily to Montana and points in the
Pacific Northwest, carrying complete service
of sleeping cars, dining cars and regular day
coaches. The train leaving st. Paul in the
morning runs via the recently completed air
line of the Northern Pacific through Butte,
Montana, making this the shortest line to the
latter point by l20 miles.
Colonists for Washington, Oregon and British
Columbia points should take no other line than
the Northern Pacific, us by this line only can
all portions of the state of Washington be
seen. Stop-overs are allowed on second class
tickets at Spokane Falls and all points west,
enabling settlers to inspect the country with
out extra expense.

Only Hum orouS.

In his speech in Milwaukee last
week Col. Villas said, among many
other things equally ridiculous, as
follow "And yet we are told that
these private schools, and these peo-
pie who put their hands into a con
scientious poe ket-N ought to be IN
the state tredsury-we are told that
these people and these schools are a
Just object to attack" Realizing
afterward that the Interpretation of
this remark by the public would
prove more detrimental to the Dem
ocratic party than otherwise, the
Colonel sends out his Interpretation,
which is that his remark about the
state treasury was Il humorous
allusion."

Public sympathy should be felt
for the idle pearl button makers of
Vienna, whose occupation is gone
by means of the Mckinley tariff
law. That law puts a duty on pearl
buttons for the encouragement OF
button-naking i'll the United States,
and this market being lost to the
foreign manufacturer he dismisses
his workmen. 1t is bad for the
latter, but the American workman is
concerned about his own welfare
rather than that of the Niennese.
The button tariff hurts the foreigner
but it helps labor here, as see this
news dispatch from Nineland, n. j.:
"Owing to the new tariff on pearl
buttons wages were increased about
twenty-five per cent. The workme n
took a day off and celebrated their
good fortune with bonfres and
cannon firing"

OF coarse. The Democrat had the
same snuers about the wire nail IN
dustry when the republican party,
by the act of 1888, put duty of
cents a pound on wire nails. 1t Is
the same sueer bourbon democracy
had when the duties were put on
cotton goods and wooden goods, and
yet the industries followed. The
Democrat should remember that the
Yankee is quick to engage IN any
business he can see n profit IN, but
without protection our manutac-
turers could not make the tln-plate
and compete with the low-wage
labor in Wales.

ABOUT rHE suB.rREAsURrEs

Senator Farwel's bill to abolish the
sub-TressuIy system Is a very direct
and simple measure, and, no matter
what may be thought of its wisdom or
expediency, is thoroughly ineligible
as to its motive and effect. The pur
pose is to make banks national de.
positories, and to save to the Govern
ment the expense attending the appoint
1nent of assistant United States
treasurers and all the routine equip
ment and outlay of their offices.
There are now nine sub-treasuries,
located at New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Gin
cinnati, New Orleans, Baltimore and
ST. Louis. OF course New York is the
great centre of Government finances,
with Philadelphia second. But last
year Chicago did business of over one
hundred and forty seven millions of
dollars.
Al the beginning of the present fiscal
year there were in the country 3,262
national banks, 270 of which were
United States repositories, furnishing
Government bonds to the amount of
S45, ,222 900 for the security of the
public funds held by them. These
statistics show in outline the business
now done by the sub. treasures and the
business which would be done by the
banks should the bill prevail.
IL is no doubt true that If the national
hanks had been in existence when the
independent treasury was formed the
country would never have had sub
treasures and would have got along
very well without them The sub
treasures were established over fifty
years ago and Mt that time national
banks had not been discovered The
State banks were for the most part rotten
stfairs, and the treasury system referred
20 was, therefore, necessity of the
time.
All the same it does not follow that
they are not needed now. They have
become part of our financial system
and cannot well be dispensed with, ex-
cept by an impairment of the whole
method and by an enlargement of the
whole structure. Taking the Chicago
sub.treasury. which Senator Farwel
had most naturally in mind, into con
sideration, 1t is sufficient to state that
there the Government does a business
of $3.50, 900 year, which is an
average of half million a dav, leaving
out Sundays and holidays. Besides, in
many ways, the advantage of the neigh
borhood of the sub treasury to the
banks Is immense. They use it for de-
posits of silver and for the exchange of
bills The general effect is to maintain
q public convenience and to keep the
currency of the country in lively ant
reliable circulation

to the occasion. The trophies of the

Garden, New York. The witness was
Professor Richmond Mayo Smith, who
occupies the chair Of political economy
and social science in Columbia College,
and who is regarded as an expert in re-
gard to all subjects connected with i'm
migration.
The standpoint from which the
professor views the question is
that of American civilization, which
includes democratic form of
government and free political insu.
tuiions, the economic prosperity of the
country the absence Of peasant class
the superior condition of the American
workIngman and the higherIntelligence
of the mass of the people.

he aim should be to exclude individ-
