The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-08-15

LEADING southern journals generally
approve the Iowa speech of Mr.. Mills,
of Texas, in which that gentleman de-
clared the fight of 1892 must be on the
one issue of 1888. The Memphis APP
peal Avalanche says:
The first business of the democratic party
is to secure a reform of the tariff. If all
members of the party cannet agree upon
the free coinage of silver, they can at least
agree upon that. Victory is certain if tariff
reform be the issue and the battle DRY. Ths
democrats of the New England and the
middle states can unite cordially with those
of the far west in attacking the fairfield
m~onopolists. 1t is always we'll to do one
thing at q time, and to do shat thing thor
oughly. It would be e%minently wise, as a
business proposition, first to restore trade
to its natural channels, and. the true opera
ton of the laws of supply and demand
having been reached, then to discuss the
initiation or increase of the circulating
medium. We might then be able
to determine whether the per capita
should be $50 or 500. The Farm
ers' alliance is in favor of a
reform of the tariff. and it's members should
bend every energy 10 achieve it. The
farmers need more markets; with them that
is the primal consideration. They wish
to be free to sell their products anywhere.
and to compete with the farmers of every
other country. They should recognize that
a disciplined host of about 100000 voters,
constituting the membership of the demo-
cratic patry, is pledged to curtail the tariff,
to stop the scandal of government gratui-
ties, to put an end to class legislation, to
80 administer the government that there
shall be equal and exact justice for all and
exclusive privileges to none. Why should
the farmer bother his head with the sub
treasury and the government land-loan
ideas when his first business in hand is to
break down the monopoly power by open
ing the markets of the world to American
producers. Therefore we say it is a duty
the farmers owe themselves and the demo-
cratic party e the people to begin by
overthrowing the robbr tariff.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-08-15

SENATOR KENNA, of West Virginia
who will visit Helena next month, is al
advocate Of free coinage who believes in
keeping tariff reform to the front as the
issue in next years campaign. In a
recent letter he writes: 1T is little
short of mockery to bubble about the
form of our currency, when people are
robbed and plundered daily of nearly all
they have got. Let silver be coined;
coin it free, but never for a moment for
get that neither silver, gold, 40 green
backs, nor all combined. can bring and
maintain prosperity for a people whose
earnings are exhausted by merciless
taxation and reckless extravaganza"
This is about the line of campaign
followed by Gov. Campbell in Ohio.
