WILL the democratic editors crying in
the night. protesting that they can get
no light on the existence and promotion
of the American tin industry, please note
the organization of a company to con-
struct a large plant at Elwood, near
Richmond, Ind, and that the name of
the corporation is the American Tin
plate company.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
Certainly, democratic editors have
noted the construction of tinplate enter
prises in this country so many times that
it has become an old, old story with
them. But there is one thing democratic
editors or any other editors have not
been called upon to note, and that is the
manufacture Of tinplate IN America.

The national worlds fair commission
passed a resolution FOR a committee to
urge congress to modify the tariff so
that it will be a little easier on foreign
exhibitors at the fair. That is right as
far as it goes, but the question with the
foreign exhibitor is what good will his
exhibit do him or his country as long as
it is shut out Of the United States by an
onerous tariff. He may show his goods
and wares, but if he can't bring them in
the country and sell them his display
can yield him no satisfaction.

THE IRRIGATION CONGRFs

ablest men in the country, all beh
thoroughly alive to the Importance

The line Of discussion is indicated in NJ
following resolution which was read h
fore the convention on the morning !
its assembling:
Resolved, That the committee on res|
lutions recommend to the c%onvential
the discussion Of the following topics: i
First-Should congress donate M
lands outright to the states and teri
tories?
Second : Should congress insteJ
make grants in trust?
Third-Should such donation or ora,
in trust be of the arid lands only OF n
clude the entire public domain With
the states and territories to be beneftei
or should it be limited to the number
acres of both or either?
Fourth-Upon what conditions AM
with what restrictions should a grant h
trust be made?
Fifth-What may be imposed um
the states and: territories benefited i
the form of federal action to compel tn
preservation of water sources by protect
ing the forests which guard them.
Sixth-Instead of such grant or dons
ton of land Is it advisable that tn
federal government should retain th
public domain and itself enter upon In
work Of reclamation of the land an
then transfer to actual settlers?
The subjects include about all tn
points which present themselves in tn
consideration of the irrigation question
1t is, of course, too early to predict wit
any degree of accuracy what plan tt
congress will adopt, or recommend to tn
national Legislature. The weight d
sentiment, however, seems to favor tie
donation of the arid lands to the state
territory in which such lands may i
with a provision that such state
territory shall reclaim them by a syssa
of reservoirs, canals and bitches. Con.
structed at it's wi expense, which vii
convey water upon them. The matter
not an easy one to handle but sugge;
tions may be made in the congress whic
will throw light upon it and simplify ii
disposition of the question.

The smoke problem is still the alb
sorbing one in Butte. With the ap-
proach Of winter the nuisance assumes
larger proportions and men inquire what
can be done to relieve the city of its
smoke afliction. A correspondent of
the Miner suggests the building of a
high stack or chimney into which all the
smelter smoke should be conducted. II
would take a big n to handle all the
smoke of Butte.

The Denver paper mills have not been
running a month, yet a large addition to
the plant is already announced as about
to be begun. The entire product of the
present works is contracted for. The
new plant will manufacture other varie-
ties of paper for which there is a large
home demand. and it is not improbable
that a third mill will be added to the es-
tablishment in the neal future. Evil
IDENTIFY the era of manufacturing in the
Rocky mountains has begun. Great
Falls with its unequaled manufacturing
facilities will come to the front as the
first in the new northwest. A paper
mill is among the enterprises which
should be inaugurated within its limits
in the very near future.

4 ~MERCHANTABLE ARTICLE.

Bar silver 967s. Does the average
reader know what the quotation means?
1t must be presumed he does. But it
won't be out of place to say a word or
two about it. The quotation means that
silver-a royal metal, a precious metal, a
metal that has been the measure of all
values before and after Judas ~Iscariot
sold the Savior for thirty pieces--is a
merchantable commodity, kicked around
in the market like lead and iron and
wheat and cabbages, worth SO much to-
day and higher or lower tomorrow.
What an Office for silver to fill! A mer-
charitable article!
When the present silver law was passed
the republican press prophesied that the
metal would jump up to its full value,
51.29 29-100 per ounce. 1t did look for a
few days as though it would reach par.
1t struck the 1.20 notch and then fell
down within the 100 limit. It's value,
however, was simply speculative. 1t is a
speculative commodity now as the quo
tation suggests-bar silver 967s! When
a republican congress fraudulently de-
monetized silver in 1873 it was proposed
that it should become an article of bar
ter and commerce. 1t has been such
and nothing more and will always re-
main a m~erchantable commodity until it
be rescued from it's degraded position by
an act of congress placing it upon a
parity with gold. The democratic party
is pledged to redeem the metal from its
present degraded Office. 1t will fulfill
it's promise, for the people are with it.

ANOTHER democratic state convention
has declared for the white metal and for
it's free coinage. 1t was only a short
time ago that President Harrison in a
speech at Albany, New York, denounced
the present silver dollar. The democratic
convention Of that state has replied to
his denunciation in a plank in it's plat
form favoring the full reconciliation Of
the metal. Silver finds its most stalwart
friends in the ranks of the democratic
party.

WHAT is the matter we don't hear
something about Blaine's health? A full

Bar Harbor. No correspondent has
described his wan appearance, and no
body has written a word about his

established a censorship over the Bar
Harbor correspondence? 1t looks like it.

Hon. r. E. COLLINS, chairman of the
state democratic committee, in announc-
ing the meetings of the democracy in
Butte on Sept. 10, and in Helena on Sept.
p, at which Congressman Bynum, Sena-
tor Faulkner, congressman McAdoo,
Gov. Black and others will speak, sug-
gests that so far as possible. democrats
throughout the state will attend these
meetings. We hope so, too. 1t would
not be a bad idea for the clubs through
out the state. and democrats who are not
members of clubs, to take in the meet
ings in both places. The meeting in
Butte falls on Saturday night and that
in Helena on the following Monday. 1t
will be easy to cover both. points without
much loss Of time for business men.

RAUM I'M HIS FIGURES.

Pension Commissioner Raum pretends
to state both the number Of union
soldiers who died during the wal and the
number now living. He puts the dead
at 1,OO4,658 and the survivors at 1,208, 7O7,
making a total of 2,213,355 persons who
bore arms in the union armies at some
time during the four years between 1861
and 1865. In commenting upon the
matter the New York Sun says: "We
have shown why it is probable that this
estimate, and consequently the estimate
of surviving veterans, are grossly exag-
gerated. If 2,213,355 men went to the
front, as Gen. Raum alleges, then, on the
basis of the n figures of 1860, it fol-
lows that just about one-half of the total
male population of the north of mill
tary age wore the blue and carried
muskets. This is a preposterous sup
position, as anybody with common sense
will perceive at the first glance"
The truth is that no official statistician,
no unofficial student of military history,
no person in or out of the var depart
ment, or the navy department, or the
pension bureau-no human being any
where knows the number of soldiers
who fought at one time or another in
the federal armies. The number of en-
listments is known with some approx
nation to accuracy. They reached in
round numbers, including reenlistments,
2,8OO,OOO men. But this total does not
mean that 100000 different individuals
went into the union armies. 1t reckons
as two soldiers every person who enlisted
and reenlisted; as three soldiers every
n who enlisted and reenlisted twice;
as four soldiers every individual who en-
listed first for thirty days, then for
ninety. then for two years, and then for
the war and so on. But no veteran is
entitled under any pension act, to
n pension as a thirty-day soldier and
to another on account of his second en-
listment for a longer period.
The total strength of the union armies
at the various stages of the war is also
known. 1t reached the highest point in
the spring of 1865, just before disband-
ment, when there were nominally more
than 100000 men in the service. The
effective strength of the armies, however,
was nearly a quarter of a million less.
1t is simply ridiculous for the pension
commissioner to put forward such figures
as those which he uses to cover and ex-
cuse still further political enterprises in
the way of governmental bounty. What
is definitely and exactly known, on the
authority of General Raum himself, is
that now, t%wenty-six years after the
close of the wal and thirty years after
its beginning, the bureau is granting
pension claims at the rate of 100000 a
many new pensioners in a sin
gle year as there were deaths in the
union armies from wounds in battle and
all other causes during the entire war.

GOVERNOR BoIEs is making a winning
fight in Iowa and conducting a model
campaign. He has made an admirable
record as an executive, while in the
argument for silver and tariff reform he
is more than a match for his opponent,
Wheeler. Those who understand the
situation don't doubt that Iowa will
permanently fall into the line of demo
cratic states. Her people are rapidly
firing of war tariff taxes and a short
money supply. Like all farming com
munities they are learning that the dem
ocratic party is their best friend.

PERRIN SUED ONCE MORE.

After the exposure of the details of
the Hurley bank robbery by the crimi-
nal proceedings before the Ashland
court the officials of the United States
Express company are determined

The money was deposited there by
the United States Express company
for delivery to the Ashland Iron Mining
company. The nominal plaintiffs are

In the complaint the details of the
crime are recounted with minuteness
the alleged ground for the claim being
that the money was gwen Perrin by
the son and his accomplish.
They claim $1,000 damages, which
sum includes the amount stolen and

No Wisconsin man finds place on the
RIVER and harbor committee of the house
OF representatives. Wisconsin has more
interest in the legislation initiated by
by this committee than in ali the other
acts Of congress. Clint Rabbit is par
italy responsible for this disregard of
the III terests of the state But the re-
sponslblllty mainly lies with those who
attempted to whip the congressman of
the state into supporting Mills because
he last fall came to Wisconsin and preach
ed against the Bennett law. 1t is not
congressman individually who are held
responsible for the attempt to defeat
Crisp, but the democracy of the state.
The governor of Wisconsin sent request
to certain recalcitrant members that they
support Mills. This made the state adj
mlnlstratlon factor In the fight. Then
senator Villas, a member Of the other
house, so far forgot the dignity of bis
position and the ordinary prophecies as
to take his coat off," figuratively sneak
ing, IN behalf of Mills. Naturally this
provoked Crisp and the result is that
Wisconsin is without a member on that
committee whicL has most to do with
her interests. 1t is paying big price
for Mills services last fall. In case we
get nlggardly appropriation for our
harbor we may know the cause. The
United States is a large country and an
issue that may succeed here might be
laughed out of court elsewhere.
