The state papers are quoting the fol-
lowing section of the state constitution
on Judge Nicholson to prove that he
cannot take the office of chief justice if
elected:
"Sec. Is. The justices of the su-
preme court and judges of the district
court shall, at stated times, receive for
their services such compensation as
may be provided by law, which shall
not be increased during their reSpec-
tive term of Office: provided, such COM
pensation shall not be less than fifteen
hundred dollars to each justice or judge
each year and such justices or judges
shall receive no fees or perquisites nor
hold any other Office of profit or trust
under the authority of the state OF the
United States during the term of office
for which said justices and judges shall
be elected, nor practice law in any of
theIcourts of the state sduring their con-
tinuance in Office"

The Independent presents the follow.
ing list of measures that Carter failed b,
have passed, although he was proiuse In
his promises last year about what he
would do as regards each of these bills
AS Slippery Thomus travels over the
state during the remaining days of the
campaign he will have an interesting
time explaining how it happened that
these measures failed:
Bill for public building at Helena
which passed the senate without his help
was reduced in the house committee and
wen then failed-while scores of Others
passed for towns without half the claims
A bill for a public bnilding In Butte
nothing done about it except what the
Butte people did themselves.
A bill for a public building at Fort
Benton-introduced for buncombe and
leading on the others.
The mineral land bill, the most i'm
portant subject to M~ontana-held in his
own committee until too late for action in
this congress. A little scheme worked
in favor of the Northern Pacific in order
to ecu the votes of the graders in Mis-
soula county at this election.
Bill to open the Fort Ellis reservation
lost by utter mismanagement. The
conference report, which is privileged
being withheld until the last hours, aud
then cut off by political debate.
Bill for II land office in northern Mon
tana.
Appropriations to pay the deficiencies
for the constitutional convention. This
was secured by every other one of the
new states. 1t leaves a number of poor
clerks and reporters without any pay. and
deprives the future history of Montana of
the record of the debates and proceedings
of their Constitutional convention.

railroad to Cooke City.

first term. Whenever it is approached
either in the number or importance of
achievements, it Will he time enough to
bring in, the record of the five subsequent
terms with which the people endorsed
his work. 1t can be shown that each was
equally fruitful of good to this young
commonwealth, then confronted by
the graver questions of life or death, of
existence or annihilation. These mo-
mentous times are not likely t. be paral-
led in the future. They were well met.
We can show how law after law was
passed, appropriations for Flyers and
roads secured. How forts were built and
troops brought in, and every valley and
every approach opened by costly and
hazardous mail routes. How the govern
ment did what it never did before and
built lines of military telegraph for the
convenience of a scattered people who
could not build or maintain commercial
lines.
What has become of this revenue Mr.
Carter, since you were first elected dele
gate? There has been no war, Indian or
other, to call troops elsewhere. Why.
then, has fort after fort been abandoned!
| Why have those which are still left been
depleted until they have not garrison
enough for a good guard mount? Where
has the district headquarters gone-with
all the quartermasters and commissaries
who used to make their purchases of our
farmers and ranchers? You have had nc
new sources of revenue established. You
have not ever thrown open the abandon
ed reservations on which the barracks
built by your predecessors are rotting to
decay. The aid of the government to the
haymaker, the woodcllopper, the ranch
man, to the small merchants and little
shops of the garrison towns-and the dis
bursements of the government in the
state of Montana, are a million dollars
less per annum under your care than
they we're under the care of those gen
tlemen whose record you wantonly attack
in order to exalt your own

Excess of Maglnnis over

Sa'Iei pO,SUl 1901
Besides these acts upon which money
estimate may be put, Major Maginn's
secured other Legislation of incalculable
benefit to Montana during his first term.
Here are some of the items:
Expenses steamer Josephine expedition
30 explore the Yellowstone.
10 create Bozeman land district and
land office.
To charter the Utah d Northern rail-
way.
TO grant to all railways the right of
way through the public lands, and TWEEN
ty acres for stations each ten miles. In
der this 10000 miles of railroads have
been constructed. Value inestimable.
Hevoking Brun0t treaty and removing
Indian reservation from the Judith and
Musselshell valleys, and opening same to
settlement.
Revocation of executive ord~er-extend-
ing Crow reservation forty miles wide on
the north side of the Yellowstone river,
CONFORMITY with Mr.. Steele of Wyoming
provision to open the Powder river and
appropriatiug 81 100000 to remove the
Sioux to their reservation.
Establishing mail routes from Corinne
to Virginia City, Deer Lodge and Helena,
and connecting lines to Bozeman, Mis-
soula, Fort Benton and subsequently, to
every valley in the territory.
Perhaps Mr.. Carter wants to invite
some more comparisons, and perhaps in
his numerous explanations he will give
some attention to these facts when he
reaches Great Falls. Of course the wool
growers would prefer that he would ex-
plain how it happens they get six cents a

now THE MCKINLEY LAW WORKS.

The Mckinley bill imposes Il largely
increased tariff on musical instruments
of all kinds, with the result of an increase
in the price at once on all instruments
and especially in the cheaper grades
We reprint the following lei er "to the
trade" from the well known dealers
Lyon & Healy Of Chicago, simply to
show hat the Increase of the tariff in
creases the price of the goods and that ii
is the who is victlmized
for the benefit of the rich manufacturer
TO the Trade: The tariff act which
goes into effect on Oct. 6, 1890, suddenly
advances the price on musical instru
ments, parts thereof and strings from AZ
to 100 per cent Above old rates. This,
combined with the steady rise in the Flu.
ropean cost of goods for some time back,
absolutely compels all importers to ad-
vance their prices. Various American
made goods are also affected, because of
higher duties on imported materials,
parts, ETC., used in their construction. AT
IL large meeting of the wholesale houses
Of New York, Boston, Chicago, Cincln-
natl, st. Paul, etc, the question as to how
and where to advance prices was fully dis
cussed, and 1t was unanimously decided
to make the necessary advance at once,
and to all dealers without exception
Anv Other plan Wuulu ueIuoIa liAv III,
trade. A state of unsettled market prices
would be worse than a decided and sta
bic advance. We, therefore, notify you
that all orders received by us afte Oct. 6
will be filled at prices in accordance with
the new tariff. Exceptions cannot be
made. Dealers will do we'll to mark up
their goods accordingly"
Now, it may be said, musical lnstru-
ments are "luxuries," and the burden does
not fall on the poor. This IS not wholly
SO. The organ and even the piano goes
into the home of many thrifty laborers
and mechanics and the various other
smaller instruments are in very general
use. The men OF moderate means will
pay the greatest portion of this tribute to
the manufacturers of musical instru-
ments.
This is but a single instance out of
thousands in which the Mckinley law
has advanced the prices of products with.
out any corresponding benefit to the peo-
pie who pay the tax.

THE wool circular of Harding, Martin

THE wool circular of Harding, Martin
Il Caverly, the well-knownBosto dealers,
under date of October 10, reports a
strong market, but no advance in prices
The Quotations are not above what they
have been for some months past. The
Montana grower would receive from 1917
to II cents for his clip, about six cents a
pound less than wool was selling at when
Slippery Tom Carter made the tour of
Northern Montana last year and made
such glowing promises to the Aockmast-
ers. The Mckinley bill increased the
price of nearly every article the wool
grower must buy, but up to date it has
failed to send up the price of his pro-
duct. That wasn't Ine intention. McKin.
ley and his conpeers we're looking solely
after the welfare of the poor, downtrod-
den manufacturers.

MORE Kch/NLETISM,

The republican press and orators are
claiming that the increase of prices UNI
der the Mckinley hill affects only the lux
uries and not the necessities. Certainly
clothing, boots and shoes, hats and caps,
fannels, cutlery, tlnware, stoves, hard
ware, ETC., are not necessaries. They are
luxuries, but unfortunately everybody
must have them.
Carpets are also a luxury, but they are
to be found in the home of the cottager
as well as the palacer.
Now read what Arthur T. Lyman of
the Lowell manufacturing company has
to say OF the present condition of the car
pet industry and the necessity (?) of an in
creased duty or carpets and the ingredi-
ents that enter INTO their composition.
We quote his remarks from the Ameri-
can Wool Reporter:
"There was no need of applying more
protection to the domestic carpet indus,
try, as it was sufficiently protected before,
and for a long time htrdly any carpets
have been imported. American manu-
facturers have produced more, in fact,
than was necessary for home consump
ton. English carpets have been import
ed only to satisfy the tastes of d few indi-
viduals. A Vanderbilt, for example,
might send abroad for a carpet or rug OF
peculiar size and patterns, and IL man
might prefer to have something English
copied after IN American carpet, paying
Il higher price for practically the same
article, but that is about the extent OF
the importation of carpets.
"These conditions will not be be
changed by the new tariff. The differ
ence will be felt by the manufacturer in
the cost of raw material. and, consequent.
ly by the consumer in the cost of the
manufactured article. All classes OF
woods entering into the texture of carpets
are subjected to higher duties.
"Prices of Brussels carpet will be in
creased from s to 10c a yard, varying ac-
cording to the materials used. Noils
which are largely put into ingrains as
filling, are practically excluded by a tax
of 30 cents Il pound. Camels' hair tops
are also shut out by an extremely heavy
duty, or else they will be used only with
"a largely increased cost in the manufac.
ture. Thus while the market for carpets
is not changed in the least, there is a
great advance all along the line in the
cost of wool entering into their manufac-
ture.
ION account of overproduction the car
pet trade has long been in an Improbable
condition, and at present prices we would
soon be left at a loss. The result of the
rise in cost of raw materials would NEAR
then, not a reduction of profits, but IN in.
crease of loss. 1t is plain, therefore, tina,
an increase in the prices of carpets is alb.
~solutely necessary.
"To sum up the situation: Consumers
will 500 have to pay higher prices, OF
else they must buy inferior qualities OF
carpet at the old prices.
"One object Of the Mckinley bill is tt
reduce revenues, which it will do 10y
shutting off importations. Another of Its
aims is to stimulate home production.
which, in our case, it hopes to do by
placing raw materials beyond our reach
Chiefly, however, it seems to be intended
to pay off old debts and fill presidential
contracts"

He RORS THE WAGE GARNER.

The rates of duty prescribed in the
Mckinley bill affect all classes of dry
goods and particularly the lower grades
or cheaper qualities such as the poorer
classes require. On such the increase OF
duties is disproportionately great and
thus the bill hits the poor people more
severely than it does the rich. All wool.
an rnnA" a~--~l-, "-~su s~voryund what
ever else may be made of wool-now
costing the consumer say 80 cents a yard,
will in future cost him 40 cents. The
prices of many classes of goods of this
character have already been advanced
aud all others o will be. On higher
priced fabrics the duty Is less onerous
because levied on the weight of the ma
%terial, which is lighter in the finer grades.
Therefore the finer and more costly the
fabric the less in proportion will be the
duty.
Silk gcode, which are bought almost
exclusively by the wealthy, are not in.
at all. Velvets and pile goods
generally, also principally used by the
prosperous people, are also left
as they were. The new law
will not affect importation for five years
because we cannot make the goods in

The prices given are about 90 per cent
in advance of the last quotations. Every
man who buys a coat must contribute 20
per cent on the amount to the manufac-
turers. If he buys a fur coat as specified
the additional cost will be from $3.50 to
