HIGH RATE OF SPEED.

The Northwestern Railroader aud
an English journals remarks about |
speed of present day railroads in vIl
the following occurs:
The highest speed ever attained C|
railway was accomplished on the Nod
Eastern railway by one of their 4
compound single engines. The engj
with a train of eighteen carriages
tanned the enormous speed of eighty
miles an hour.
But a few days later than that a It'd
on the Philadelphia & Reading road
complished the still more enornd
speed Of 80 miles an hour, and about
same time an engine on the Pennsyh
MAS Fort Wayne line reached and maj
tanned an average of 80 miles an no
for nearly eleven miles. English ID
motive builders are left behind by Thu
exploits.

THE MATTER WITH M,KINLEY.

Roger @. Mills is worrying the repub-
lican leaders in Ohio and Iowa by his
thoroughly sustained attacks upon
their tariff policy. He refuses to be
drawn away from his line Of argument
into a discussion Of the silver question,
holding that the paramount issue before
the people today is the tariff. On &C.
count Of this refusal a republican paper
or two characterizes MIN as an
acrobat and time-serving politician"
Let us see how this term will apply to
Mr.. Mckinley. In his recent speech at
Cincinnati he made a bid for the Farm
ers' alliance vote of his state by declar-
ing that while a member OF congress he
voted for the free coinage of silver in
1878. He explained that he voted for it
because at that time we could have free
silver coinage without damage to the
finances or business of the country, but
today he can not favor ~free-coinage be-
cause he processes to believe that it
would be calamitous to the country.
Mr. McKinley's explanation won't hold
water. He has no reason to believe that
free coinage would endanger the inter-
ests Of the country today no more than
would have endangered them thirteen
years ago. He has not nor cannot show
that a depreciation of silver or an appre-
citation Of gold would follow free coinage.
There is nothing in the past history Of
coinage to justify such a view of
the case. Mr.. Mckinley is the acrobat
and time serving politician" Popular
forced him to vote for free
coinage in 1878, the gold bugs and fat
force him to take ground against
it today. That is what's the matter with

THE TAN.

The manufacture of tinplate in this
country is not, in a commercial sense,
demonstrated. No one can say what
skill and favorable conditions may do in
time, but it is, however, true that the
American manufacturer of sheet steel
can not afford to sell the steel basis of a
tinplate for as little as the timed article
itself can be produced in Wales. That
fact is demonstrated. In referring to
this matter the New York World asks:
"What does this tinplate tax mean? If
a part of the peach crop be canned at
present and for some years to come the
tinplate of which the cans are made
must be imported. Before July l of
the present year each pound of tinplate
was taxed one cent. Now it is
taxed two and two-tenths cents.
Ii peaches are worth to the
farmer who does his own canning
half a cent each, where he last year paid
fifty peaches, or their equivalent, in tax,
he will this year pay 10. And this
enormous tax is imposed to help keep up
the price of sheet steel and not at all for
the public welfare, so that while tin-plate
may be eventually produced in this coun-
try, it will be at a great cost to people
who will never make out of it one cent
Of profit, but who this year, it is esti-
mated, will pay nearly s15,O0O,OO0, chiefly
in aid of the steel makers"

A o tariff lesson: Last years i'm
portations amounted to s4SO,OOO,OOO. The
duty was s22O,OOo,OOO, making the total
cost to the American people of s7OO,OOO,-
600. The consumers paid the 100000
600 tax. That was under an average
duty of At per cent. The same importa-
tons under the present average duty Of
60 per cent would bring the total cost
up to s768,OOO,OOO, of which vast ann
1888 100000 would represent the tax or
duty. Does a high protective tariff
cheaper the cost Of living?

REPUBLICAN, ARGUMp,

If our manufacturers comb,,.
trusts and lessen production !
prices, why should not more OF y.
cultural people 60 into other in%'
and lessen the products of whiS1
is always a surplus, so as to ~;
price Of such products? II M
gland has got rich at manuias,!
why may not the west and tia
wisely follow her example?
The above excerpt is clipped
Montana republican newspaper
reproduced simply to illustrate IN,
Of argument pursued by our reppl
contemporaries when forced to IA,
stubborn facts that trusts and conl
are the offsprings Of a high prot
tariff policy, and that they cont,l
production and govern the price O,
inent lines Of American manuiarl
The reply to this undeniable cop3
of things is in substance just this; J
riculturists do not like it they can
their farms and go into some othe,
ness. BY 80 doing they could less|
products of the soil, Of which we M
surplus, and increase the produe1
other industries of which we evil
have a surplus.
This is republican logic. 1t is sa
easy matter for the farmer WIN
hardly make both ends meet at ths,
Of each season, to take his little \
in a cart and travel to the nearest
and build a factory Of some kind an
come a nabob among his business
ciates. So easy indeed that the v,
is they all don't branch out as man
turers. All they have to do is L
the trust, raise the price of their
products, sell in the dearest market
in the cheapest and become million
But there may be just one little thi
the way of success, which little thin
doubtless check the exodus fro1
farming communities to manufact
centers, and that is this:
OF course all the farmers can
their mortgaged homes and buy or
a mill. But here is where the
comes. Who will buy their man
lures? The high wall of prote
around the country is an unsurmo
BILE barrier against the exportatic
their products. They must sell thu
home or stop their manufacture.
they can't sell they must discharge
employees, who must starve or &C
the farming districts their bosses
Probably, however, they may e
either dilemma by editing repub
newspapers and flood the country
the kind of rot found in the en-
above quoted.

CONVICT LABOR.

Tennessee has a convict labor law. I'm
der it the state annually receives 500,
600 for the labor of it's convicts from
those who lease or hire them from tn
state. They can be taken anywhere
within it's boundaries, the ~lessees having
full control Of the character OF work in
which they may be employed. Last
summer they we're taken to Briceville tc
work in the coal mines at or near that
place. The injustice Of thus forcing res
ident miners out Of work aroused the
latter to acts Of violence which were only
quelled by the appearance Of the COVER
nor of the state upon the ground, who
promised the miners he would call an
extra session Of the legislature for the
purpose of repeating or modifying the
law 80 that honest laborers would not be
brought into direct competition with
convicts. The miners deslsted from
further riotous demonstrations and the
convicts went to work.
The legislature met, debated, wrangled
and even fought over the repeating prop
~osition, and at last adjourned without
making a single step toward accomplish
ng the purpose for which it was called
together. . 1t now remains to be seen
what the offended miners will do in the
premises. If they rebel against the un-
equal competition and again drive the
convicts from the mines the legislature
of that state must shoulder the RESPONSE
bility for what may follow. AS we'll says
the Denver News: 1T is gratifying to no.
tice that in nearly every state there is a
growing feeling of public indignation
against the method, and that it has been
so long tolerated indicates the indiffer-
ence that yet separates the industrial
status of the south from that of the
north.
Apart from the economic side of the
question and the bearing which the leas-
ing of convict labor to private parties
has upon the rights of free labor, there
are of course other considerations. 1t is
a system of fragrant cruelty, as the death
rate as compared with the prison
tality of any state incontestably demon
strates. Then it precludes all idea Of
reformatory work among criminals and
turns such as outlive their sentences
loose upon the community with intensi-
fed criminal tendencies. The day is not
distant when the system will be dis
carded as barbarous and dishonoring to
any civilized people, and when the duty
of the state to reclaim all but incorrig-
ible criminals will command general rec
ognition.

The Ohio republican leaders are fur
nishing members of their party with tin
badges, claiming the tin plate of which
they are made was manufactured in this
country. 1t now turns out that the
claim is purely fictitious. A gentleman
who had just returned from Wales in.
formed a representative of an Ohio news.
paper that every one of the little tin
badges was manufactured in the old
country and showed the newspaper mar
an exact counterpart Of the Ohio badges,
which he bought at Swansea. The ruse
thus exposed is robbed of it's power as a
factor in the campaign, and those instru-
mental in the deception will be visited
with deserved ridicule and contempt.

AS Ia be seen by a Washington dis.
patch elsewhere Mr.. Silas A. Beachley is
recommended as postmaster for Great
Falls. Mr.. Beachley doubtless has the
ability and christian fortitude and resig-
nation to fill the position, but he will re-
quire the prayers of every good citizen to
accomplish all the labor of the Office up
on an appropriation of $1,000 for clerk
hire. The appointment will doubtless
give entire satisfaction to the community.

A CROP OF "IFS."

If Mr.. Blaine's CONTINUED ill health
keep him out of the presidential race
next year, and if Mckinley beat Camp.
bell by a decisive majority he will, by
the logic of the situation, :.become the re.
publican candidate for the presidency.
But if he win against Campbell and il
Blaine be in the field Mr.. Mckinley will
not be in it. If Campbell come out OF
the present contest victorious Mckinley
will be politically as dead as the Capu-
let's next year. The future of Mckinley
and that of the republican party depend
upon the Ohio election next November.

and laws.

trouble between the railroad and the
Anaconda company still remains unad-
justed. 1t may reasonably be expected
that the little Anaconda wal which has
been raging between the papers of the

and that the belligerants will kiss and
make up for a season, at least.

THE recent great rush for land in the
Indian territory is accounted for by the
fact that there were only claims for 5000
people and 5000 people wanted them.

broke their necks to get, but as they can
be had for the taking they lose their
value in the minds OF boomers.
