was supposed that great enthusiasm would
be manifested upon Oily Toms advent in
the Garden city. Not 90; there were. just
seven Of the faithful to meet Carter at the

Stevensville. Carter was taken to the Flor.
ence hotel and was met by County Clerk
Bogart and one or two others. Further
than this there was no 'enthusing'' and
everything around the hotel lobby appeared
the same as usual. There does not exist
the greatest harmony in the republican
camp Of Missoula. The friends of Charley
johnson have said right along that
Carter would have to square himself''
around these parts or there would be
dissension in the ranks. johnson, who is
chairman of the republican city committee,
has ever since his residence here been one
Of the most ardent republican rustlers. He
was promised one of the appointments to
the land Office by Carter last fall and this
promise was never fulfilled. hence the mn

The VITAL Difference
Between the Theories Of the Two
Leading Parties as to
Taxation.
Democrats Would AdjuAt the
Tariff to the Needs of the
Government.
Republicans Would Manipulate Duties to
the Advantage Solely Of the lIanu-
facturefs. Not Workingmen.

FoRr BENTON. Oct. N.-[Special. Judge
Nv. W. Dixon and Hon. w. A. Clark re-
1oeived rousinR reception at the demo
cratic rally last evening and made speeches
70 crowded house. Judge Dixon began
ny tracing the vital differences between the
Two PARTED in regard to tariff legislation.
The democratic plan was to regulate taxa
tion to Offset expenses Of the government,
while the republican idea was to maintain
and even increase high duties, at first need.
ed to meet obligations incurred in wal
times. These exorbitant duties are nc
longer needed and do no benefit to the
masses. The profits accrue to the manu-
,facturer. Tariff legislation has always been
manipulated to favor wealthy mRnufao-
lturers and importers, while the western pro
ducer pays moro for all he buys, and getl
less for all he has to sell. The laborine
masses have been fooled with the assertion
that wages depend on the tariff,
but the lowest wages current in America are
paid to operatives in the highly protected
industries Of New England. II duties are
increased BY 20 per cent. it should follow
that wages 20 up in like ratio; but some
how they don't. The speaker then con-
trasted the course of the republican and
dsmocratic partiss in relation to silver.
Both professed to favor free coinage, and
the democrats had acted up to their pro-
feasion. The republicans had an opportun.
ity to redeem their pledges, but had suffered
themselves to be bound by the action Of q
party caucus. Judge Dixon became thor
oughly warmed up on this subject and
severely denounced the men who would
sacrifce patriotism to party interests. He
cared not whether republican OF democrat,
a congressman's first and chief duty wan to
the interests Of the community which he
represented, but the record showed that
Montana's interests had been ignored under
the pressure of party caucus.
The election frauds Of last year were ex-
posed, and the natural effect logically pre-
sentsd. II such practices are countenanoed,
then our elections will beoome ! faroe.

Age Does Not Wither Nor Time
Lessen His Oratorioal and
Political Powers
He Denounces In Round Terms the Tory
Government and Pleads for
Home Rule

LoNDoN, Oct. 2l.-Glsdstone addressed
An audience of 5000 persons in the Corn ex-
change at Edinburgh this evening. Ire
land. he said, continued to eclipse all other
subjects. The country now fully recog-
nizsd that Irish questions must be settled
before all others. The opponents of home
rule had hoodwinked and deluded
their commitments by pledging them
selves against coercion, promising local gov
ernment and expressing themselves against
granting large advances of British money
to buy out the landlords. Yet their first
favorite measure after gaining power was
coercion. Local government was vanishing
in thin air and there was proposal before
parliament granting e40,0Oo, 900 to buy out
landlords. The conservatives administra-
tion of the law was worse than the law
itself. The government itself was a perfect
pattern Of illegality. Its methods tended
to provoke the people. Gladstone referred
to the Tipporary affair. Il was grossly il
legal. he said, to close the doors Of the court
house against the people. The ap-
Roint%9snt p 9.s 4sa Of Ma M.eistr.ts shannon a
scandal: II such tricks were played in
England BY wantonness Of power, very
short way would be found to remedy such
abuse. After the examples Of police mis-
conduct at Mitchellstown and Tipperary it
was impossible to respect the police or the
administration Of the law by them. Their
brutality and harshness constituted the
browning insult Of absenteeism, the grossest
that could be inflicted on people at such a
time. The government vaunted itself on
peace in Ireland, yet kept six times more
policemen there than in England and Scot
land. British taxpayers paid over million
and half pounds yearly to the Irish police,
simply to assist in collecting rents for land
lords.
The English and Scotch landlords met
their tenants fairly and had not found it
necessary to appeal for policemen to collect
their rents. The British landlords lost
more on rents than Irish landlords had. If
the government would grant q general
election the state of public opinion would
prove that the country was won over to
home rule: On this great question Of Ire
land. Gladstone concluded, the last Of the
fortresses of history and oppression would
70 down before the liberal5 attack. The
speech was received with enthusiastic
