DEMOCRATIC CONSISTENCY.

Last fall a great majority of the
Democratic party was in favor of the
free coinage of silver. The party lead
ers and the press with few exceptions
declared that it would be made the
issue in the presidential campaign.
Already there is every evidence that
the party is going to hedge on the
question. In proof of this it is only
necessary to read the speeches-if you
can stand the ordeal-of Brice's variety
troupe which visited Butte and Helena
last week. They came to speak in the
greatest silver-producing state in the
Union, and vet at Helena not one OF
them had a word to say in favor OF
free coinage. What was the difficulty!
Perhaps silver was not down on the
programme. 1t may be the artists had
forgotten their pieces. But no; not at
| all. The secret Of their silence can
easily be guessed. While en- route the
| wise men of the east had read the result
of the New York state Democratic con
vention; they discovered that the reso'
buttons did not favor the free coinage
| Of silver, and it would not do to advo.
cate anything that would antagonize
the Democracy Of New York. Thai
state and the solid South have always
d dictated the policy of the northern
Democracy, and will continue to do so
There is a strong probability, aye, al
absolute certainty, that the Democratic
nominee for the presidency will come
from New York, and he will not be 8
free coinage man either. So, how
could these political weather-vane'
commit themselves on this issue7
Bvnum, bombastic Bynum, was
blatant free silver advocate during tn,
- ~f ~nrnrass hut in an inter
view in the Helena Journal he stated
that he had modified his views and be
lieved only in the coinage of the Amer
lean product, the position taken by tn,
Republican party everywhere. VIVA
hypocrisy, what ~driveling sycophancy
to catch votes. But there is nothin,
strange about it. The party is afte.
nothing but the offices. 1t has ne
policy or principles, and as in the past
when it was ready to swallow anything
from Horace Greeley to reputation, i
is ready to jump any way that viii
bring success. There is only one thins
to which the Democracy has plighteo
its faith and constancy, and that is fire,
trade. In this it is controlled by the
South and Great Britain. But it viii
go down on this issue rs it ever has be

strongly as possible.

MCKINLEY IN IOWA.
Fifty-Thousand People Turn Out to Hear the
Gallant Major.
~~u~taha

OTTrMwA, Iowa, Sept. 24.-There
was the greatest outpouring of Repub.
Leans to greet Mckinley at the coal pal
ace since Grants last visit. Twenty
crowded excursion trains from all
parts OF Iowa arrived, supplemented
by all the regular trains and crowded
to their utmost. Fully 5O,OOO people
were in the streets of the city during
the monster procession. The Wapella
county Republican club headed the
procession and the entire marching
force, numbering thousands, carried
corn stalk canes and wore American
tin plate Ohio badges. Mckinley was
everywhere wildly cheered and the coal
palace, seating 5000, was not large
enough to accommodate this crowd.
This morning Mckinley and colleagues,
Gear, Henderson, Lacy and Senator
Allison visited the rendered reception
to the DISQUALIFICATION This after
noon the mayor and companions were
driven to the palace where they were
received with enthusiasm. At the
palace Major Mckinley spoke for two
hours on the tariff and silver, reitera-
ting much the same arguments as i in
MS ouio CdiilpdiSn. ne WAS cOnClnu-
ously applauded. The galleries were
so crowded the police had to be sta
toned at the entrances to keep out
further visitors.
After the coal palace speech Nc
Kinley made a short address i'm the
stand ear the park. In the evening
a Republican campfire was held in the
palace and a monster reception ten
dered Mckinley. Speeches were made
by Allison, Henderson, Gear, Lacy and
Mckinley. One of the significant in
scriptions on the banners in the pa
rade was, "Gov. Mckinley Will Be
President"

that mud won't stick to J. Sloat Fas-
sett.

son and Blaine are pulling together
like twin brothers in the matter of i'm

mote the Republican party's chances

is necessary to know about their rela-
tions.

give So to anyone who will produce,
from the stores in Waukon, any arti-
Gle of American manufacture on which
the Mckinley tariff increased the duty,
which is now higher in price than be-
fore the new tariff was levied.
Cleveland Leader: We were once
told that Campbell was a magnificent
orator, a spellbinder whose words
turned mems heads and made brass
roosters on country barns go round
with a whiz and whir that were truly
amazing. Yet this great orator was
compelled to read the nine column
speech with which he opened his cam
paign. The Ohio Democrats should
keep their governor in Wall street and
hire a dozen or two monographs.
Oregonian: Mckinley is knocking
out his opponents in Ohio who assert
that the tariff act that bears his name
has increased the cost OF goods by
showing that Democratic papers in
every county are advertising clothing,
hardware, c~rockery, and goods in all
lines, at prices lower than aver before,
and that dealers areinviting buyers to
take notice that goods never were so
cheap in the entire history of the
country. The Democratic campaign.
ers complain that this method is ex.
ceedingly unfair.
Inter Ocean: The secretary OF the
navy says that a torpedo boat shall
be built at the Iowa Iron Works al

Queer, isn't it, that an ironmaster in
an interior state, On fresh water, could
wrest such a prize from his seaboard
competitors? Wonder how it came

Perhaps it was a protective tariff thai

Immediately after the passage Of the
Mckinley bill the free trade press
prophesied dire disaster TO the coun-
try. Every effort was made to arouse
the prejudice of the people against the
bill. Tradesmen took advantage of
the situation to increase their OWL
profit, the outflow of gold to Europe
was attributed to the Mckinley tariff,
and it was claimed the law would ruin
our trade with foreign countries.
Every prediction, every assertion has
been proven false in less than q year
from The time of the passage of the
bill. Gold is returning rapidly, our
foreign trade was never so large as at
present, and nearly every article OF
manufacture is cheaper than ever.
Now and then a Bourbon editor will
have the supreme gall to deny these
facts in order to make capital for his
party, banking largely on the credulity
of his readers. In an editorial based
entirely on false premises, Calamity
Searles, of the Great Falls Tribune,
says: THE old tariff imposed an av-
erage duty of AZ per cent upon inn
portations of foreign manufactures and
productions. The Mckinley tariff
raised the average duty to 60 per cent.
If an increase of Is per cent in duties
cheaper living would not an increase
of 100 per cen bring the cost down
next to nothing"
The Mckinley tariff did nothing of
the kind. While Senator Carlisle and
others predicted that the rate on duti-
able articles would be increased to
over 60 per cent, the statistics of GUS
toms show that the rate of duties is
only about IL per cent, nearly four per
cent below the old tariff, and only two
thirds of the rate predicted by the
oracles of the free trade party. The
list Of articles free of duty is largely in
creased by the Mckinley tariff, while
imports Of dutiable goods have de-
creased, making the balance of trade
largely in favor of the Uaited States
and against Europe. American pro.
ducers and manufacturers are nro.
tected, and yet prices are reduced IN
the benefit of consumers. MIR. S. q
Brock, chief of the bureau of statistics
in. an article in the New York Recorder
utterly refutes the claim heard so fire.,

On first page will be found a column
giving a description of Major McKin-
ley's reception at Piqua, Ohio, and
his making tin at the roller mills. The
Independent, in speaking of this, with
characteristic cussedness tries to up
hold Senator Faulkner's position that
only the manufacturer was benefited
by the tariff, and quotes the names OF
the manufacturers who entertained
Mckinley. The British free trade
organ omitted Il state the cordial and
enthusiastic greeting given Mckinley
by the employees in all these works.
Oh, no; it would not do to mention
them. Some of Marcus Days dagos
might hear Of it by accident. What a

contend that new manufacturing in
dustries do not help the laboring men.
