He Goes.


He Goes.
The Republicans of Montana ~
Justly proud of their matchless leader
Thomas III. Carter. Everywhere he
greeted with enthusiastic audiences
The demonstration in Butte was neve
equalled in a political campaign. A
Helena there was a repetition of tn
sam. enthusiasm. We publish beIo,
that portion OF Mr.. Carter's speecl
which treats Of silver and the tariff
regretting that we have not room To-
his speech in full:
You will find again, and I wish Il
call the attention of the bret hren tt
the fact, that upon this identical day
when telegrams were being sent out
over this country, inspired by Demo
crats-On the very Friday night that
q number OF Montana Democrats were
having dispatches written up and sent
out here and there over Montana
you will find that about that time the
member from Montana was making n
little speech in the house, and il the
Democratic brethren had been there
they might have heard little some
thing. wish to refer the bret hren to
the record here in which that speech is
contained.
My friends, ] cannot conceive of the
purpose OF the man vino sent the tele-
gram from the lobby; ] cannot con
ce'vs the purpose this man had in
view IN writing this statement when
he must have known that il was an
absolute and unjust ifiable falsehOod
Applause. You see the record is
here, and it is "a written record. and it
was a record written at the time the
transactions occurred, and yet in the
face of it this worthy gentleman-I
assure yOu a novice in politics and in
the matter OF dealing wit h gentlemen
| sends this statement out through the
State of Montana believing that some
where, IN some nook or corner, he can
in his cheap way, without putting a
dollar into it, deceive some voter.
That is all. desire to call the gentle.
man = attention to the fact that this
great world OF ours is so nicely bal
anced IN every way, from the grand
planetary system down to the minut-
est atoms in creation throughout all
the ramificatiOns OF human affairs.
that there Is no permanent abiding
place anywhere for "a lie. Applause.
loud and continued
SO much, my friends, for the silver
question. The final proposition was,
shall we take the bill We now have or
nothing! The senate passed n free
coinage bill; ii came back to the house.
The house could not agree in the first
instance, and the matter was referred
to a conference committee consisting
OF Senator Sherman OF Ohio. Senat or
Jones Of Nevada. Senator Conger of
Iowa, Senator Walker of Massachu-
setts and Senator kilgore OF Texas. |
They sat down and made the silver |
bill entirely satisfactory to Senator
Jones and Stewart and Bartine; to |
every free coinage man in the west |
Short of fl 80 coinage he considered it |
the best bill obtainable, and, under
the circumstances, entirely satisfac-
tory. Applause. When the matter,
however, came back to the house, true
to their determination every Demo
crat voted against it to a man and |
every Republican voted for it. lap
plause.
This bill shows it's own result. When
we began this legislation, or undertak-
ing to formulate it ther, silver was
53 IN the market. Within ninety days
after the bill passed it was 81 20. II
has since that time iluctuated bet ween
81 .O9t and 81 20, and that illictua-
tion II caused by an accumulation of
about eight million dollar. worth of
silver in u bank controlled by Demo
rats in the city of New York, former
y organized by exSecretary OF the
Treasury Manning to speculate on the
government.
IL ~ now specializing on the silver
question. In the next congress we will
Undertake to get rid of that bank and
is manipulatiOns. We will open the
way clear and unObstructed to the
OF silver to its ancient
'at'O OF Sl.2O. This bill makes for
Montana in the increased price OF its
silver product some five millions of
iOllars per year. This is the result OF
! Republican effort in congress. Con
.rast it with the four years of Cleve-
andism and take your choice. lap
