The Mckinley bill is from beginning
to end an exclusively party scheme, de-
liberately, inflexibly and irresistibly
forced upon the country by disciplined
and terrorized congressional majority,
at the behest Of wealthy industrialists
who, in consideration of this service
rendered, have contributed funds and
influence for carrying the elections in
the interest Of the party now in as
tendency, or more correctly of certain
party leaders. It will stand upon the
statute books as the grossest and most
corrupt exercise of legislative power
ever perpetrated in the history of the
country, and as the signal monument of
point of departure at which wealth
and corrupt politics joined hands in an
alliance for defeating public opinion in
the government of this nation.--New
York Commercial Bulletin (non-parti

The Issue OF the Hour,

New York Sun: From now until the
final agreement of the senate and the house
of representatives on tariff bill, time will
be big with the determination of republican
prospects.
Will the Aldrich amendment of the SEN
ate stand or fall when it confronts the IN
relenting ambition of the new dictator of
the house? Will the republican programme
become protection-reciprocity, or remain
protection in its most crystallized and con-
temptuous state?
The settlement of this question will name
not only the man of Maine, but also the
overawing candidate of republicanism.
Will he be chosen for his love of leadership
on the old lines, or will he be the chief of 9
new craftsmanship, more hidebound in it,
pline, yet more aggressive and rampant
than has ever yet been known IN THU
country?
viii the winner be the white-hairei

A Great Warrior Like Sanders.


st. Louis Republic: Thomas b. Reed,
who is now by inconsiderate people called
"despot' and ''czar," and by others re-
ferred to as man of splendid audacity,'
is the merest pinchbeck. He attained his
majority in 1860. In 1861. when the war
came, he was in the full vigor of young
manhood. Remainingat home during three
years of that struggle, he found himself
drafted in 1868. as Il good man. 25 years old,
to whose services the Government in its
peril thought itself entitled.
Thus dragged, shrinking and covering,
toward the front of action, the man of
splendid audacity" managed, through the
influence of James G. Blaine, then in con-
gsess, to have himself assigned to clerk
ship in the office of the Paymaster of the
Ohio River gunboat fleet. In that martial
| capacity he served through the remainder
of the war, never being in action, and never
failing to draw his own salary.
1t is an insult to the memory of Caesar,
whose courage was his crowninQ glory, and
to the czar, whose valor has been proven in
two wars, to apply the name of the one o.
the title of the other to Reed. Let tn,
country take Reed for what he is-the ser
want of the men who made him speaker, and
whose orders he dare not disobey, and who
protected in the abuse of his Office, exhibit.
all the qualities of the coward and bully il
browbeating and overriding men who are
powerless to resist him. That is all Their,
is of Reed.

promises. With the prospect Of the
coming election before them, it would
certainly be wise for the farmers Of the
fertile Gallatip valley and throughout
the state Of Montana to close their ears
for once to blatant cries and take calm
survey of the situation. They are sensi-
BILE men. They know their own inter
ests. Let them act accordingly.
BY the preparation OF scandalous
fraud at precinct 81 and the high
handed and illegal maneuvers of Rick
ards, the republican party in this state
sent to the United States senate Thomas
G. Power and another. Here is a typi-
cal farmers friend. In his place in the
senate, he votes for the retention of the
duty on 5inder-twine. He must be of
opinion that the farming interests of the
country are on the crest of such high
tide of prosperity that they can afford
to swell still further the accumulations
Of the manufacturers. Is it SO? To
bind the wheat and oats crops of this
country requires each year $4,000 tons
Of Irvine. Forty per cent. is the protect
i've duty on this Irvine; on the MANILA Of
which it is made, 20 per cent. It is,
therefore, we'll within the mark to say
that one half the cost of this binder
Irvine is the value of the article and the
other half is due to the blessings of pro-
lection.
The manufacturers price IS ID cents
pound, 5000 per ton of 1000 pounds
At this rate the value of the $4,000 tons
required for yearly consumption is S13,-
100000. In other words, the farmers of
the United States, the special proteges
OF republican administration, are
mulcted yearly in the sum of s7,4OO,O0O
"for the crime of raising these crops"
II it were for necessary expenses of
government, farmers might grin and
bear it, But the whole sum is swept
into the Golfers of the Irvine manufac-
trrer and the hemp-raiser to protect
their infant, struggling industries. Yer
ters.
A vote for Carter means vote for
the Mckinley bill. It means the reten-
ton of the duty on binder-twine. It
means the continuation of other abuses
as grossly and scandalously unjust. It
means the fostering Of one branch of in
dustry to the detriment of others; the
support of tho interests of one section
our country to the loss of others; the
denial of an equality of rights and priv
ileges; and to the farmer it spells
ruin.

WHAT AN ADVERTISEMENT SHOULD Be,
ITS USE AND ABUSE.

AS this is intended for the pros
2ective purchaser, not for the in
struction of the advertiser, we
shall limit our remarks to a few
questions and answers suitable to
our purpose.
That judicious advertising pays
is fact no longer doubted by the
wide-awake merchant. But what
is judicious advertising?
An advertisement that is not a
statement of plain facts-that
lacks the impress of unvarnished
truth-that borders on the realm
of fction-such an advertisement
is not only soon detected but as
certainly avoided-no matter how
adroitly the advertiser seeks the
ear of the public.
To gain the confidence of the
public, simply to advertise will
not suffice; the merchant must
keep faith with his customers: he
must do what he advertises, and
have what he advertises. Such
advertisements are sought out by
the reader in the hope that it may
contain an announcement of a
special bargain offered, or to as
certain the price of something he
contemplates purchasing.
We do not pay out our money
for printers ink because it is a
custom-we calculate its effect,
and estimate the outlay to a pro-
portionate gain.

If it's plain that more delay
Will plant T. H. among the dead,
