CRAZY HONE SEEKERS.

IF thoss crazy Oklahoma boomers knew
that here in the South. within the infunCc
Of Il society already established they could
secure for a piltancc lands as valuable az
those they arc breaking their necks to get,
it would be good thing for them and for
Us. What the South chiefly suffers from
nowadays is the ignorance of the North re-
EnlGing it.-Statc.
Our worthy contemporary is right In its
surnisc, all that our country needs is to
bring it before these people in Il proper
ii-;.'t, and instead of this rush toward the
free arid lands Of the west they would
come TO the South for cheap homes in the
best section the sun shines on. Today cheap
Gv homes can hc secured in South Carolina
ali advantages considered can be
iounl elsewhere.
1he main drawback to this section is the
loud rrotcstation of those who for selfish
ends continually dccry their country and

referring to the shutting down of the
Great Falls smelter on account of the
washouts on the railroad to Monarch,
the Boulder Age says: IF the railroad
company will put its ore rates down to a
cost figure with "a slight profit added.
jefferson county will furnish enough ore
to keep two or three such smclters going
and will thereby develop enough bust
ness for the railroad company to greatly
increase its profits. The railroad com
pany SO far has manifested a prnny-wisc
and pound foolish policy, which has
worked against its own interests as well
as those Of the whole state"
The TRIBUNE is not in the %counscls Of
the Montana Central, but it feels iusti-
iIcd IN expressing the opinion that if the
mine owners Of Jefferson county will
guarantee or assure the railroad com
pany Of continuous ore hauls to Great

be agreed upon. The railroad is built

a PRACTICE of the tariff lords visiting
Europe is brought into prominence in a
letter OF a special correspondent of the
baltimore Sun. They go to Europe
LARGELY to do their shopping. They want
bargains and they go outside of the tariff
wall to get them. They have the good
and cheap foreign articles excluded by
law from the American market so that
they may compel the poor man who can
not travel to buy the inferior and costly
article they themselves manufacture.
Having made their money thus, they go
abroad to get the good things they deny
to others. They spoil their enjoyment Of
travel, in fact, by their continual shop
ping and by thinking how to smuggle in
their purchases when they return to this
country.

SUGAR TAX AND BOUNTY.

Z Inc Mckinney tariff provides that al
ter July l, 1891, sugar should be admit
ted free of duty, and that a bounty of ..
! cents per pound should be paid to suga
producers of this country. 1t will not b,
questioned that the taking Off of thi.
tariff, or tax, has had its effect on the
sugar market, and that by the reduction
IN price which has followed has yer,
clearly demonstrated the fact that q
tarlfl is a tax, and that such tax is paid
by the consumer. Here is the PROPOSE
tion, and it is a plain one. Sugar went
on the free list July l, and sugar went
down in price to the consumer-to the
man who buys a dollars worth and car
ries it home to his family. That he pays
less for his sugar nov than he did prior
to July ] is positive proof that he is the
man who paid the duty before the new
law went into effect. Nothing can be
palmer.
In referring to this same matter, the
Denver News says: "Another fact has
also been developed, and that is that it
will require over 81 100000, as estimated
by the treasury officials, to pay the
bounty to American sugar producers as
required by the late congressional enact
The amount of sugar produced
in the United States is about 4JO.OOOOOO
pounds, a large proportion of which is
maple sugar, whose producers are rcgist-
from Vermont, Michigan, Mary
land, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York.
The beet sugar industry is most largely
represented in Nebraska, Utah and
southern Colorado, while Louisiana leads
1f course in the cane sugar industry"
Commenting on these facts the News
to ask why sugar producers
a bounty any more than the pro-
iucers OF any other article. Why should
he man vino raises bccts or cane and
manufactures the same into sugar be en-
titled to a bounty Of . cents a pound
hcrcon, any more than the man who
Asses wheat and manufactures it into
|our! Why SHOULD every class OF pco-
ne be taxed to pay 5ll,OOO,O0O in 1892 to l
he sugar producer, when no bounty is ,
nccivcd on their own products? The !
hole thing is an injustice and a fraud, a
nd well illustrates the pcrnicious prin-
pile on which the Mckinley bill, as well !
) the whole doctrine of extreme protcc- !
rests. This sugar bounty should be r
romptly removed and sugar left on the s
&c list. o

Inc subject is SO ably handled ant
painted SO true to the actual facts the

the California king of sweets, and the
eastern trust, goes bravely on. Each

pound for raw sugar the margin for
profits is rather attcnuatcd. But when
the cruel war is over sugar consumers
must stand from under. The trusts will

THE MARCH OF EVENTS.

There are men living who saw the first
niue railroad in this country with its
funny little coaches carrying a half
dozen persons ON the inside and as many
more on top. And it seems but ycster-
day when the first telegram was sent
from Baltimore to the city of Washing
ton containing the letters dotted off on
Il narrow ribbon of paper. "See what
God hath wrought" This was in 1914.
iiailroading and tclegraphy have made
wonderful strides since then. Today one
may be shot over the ground at the rate
OF a mile a minute or faster and the tele-
graph operator, having dispensed with
his strips of paper, relies upon his ear for
his text. The sewing machine, the vast
cotton and wooden mills, powerful OK
ploslves and electric lighting and rail
ways and the thousand and one other
inventions born Of the inventive genius
OF man are becoming as familiar as the
ligh. Of the sun.
But science is marching on. The Hv-
ing machine, by which one will be en-
abled to break his fast in Great Falls.
lunch in New York, and dine in London
or Paris is undertaking, while appli-
ances for producing rain at pleasure may
be counted among the near probabilities.
Electricity will become the motive bower
Of the world, and the great remedial
agency for the cure of all the ills TO
which flesh is heir. The Great Falls

Ananias, ana the millennium will be at
In the march Of events all these
may come to pass.

PROMINENCE or SILVER.

1t may be stated as an indisputabl
= proposition that the question of silve
coinage will remain a disturbing ele
ment In the politics of the country unit
1t be placed side by side with gold as &
monetary medium. Politicians ma,
ignore as much as they please, and state
and national campaigns be conducted
with silver coinage as a side issue, but
the time is rapidly approaching when it
will become the principal plank in the
platform of political parties. Already it
is attracting quite as much attention as
the tariff in many Of the states in the
MOI and in some it is the paramount
question. 1t will cut a prominent figure
IN the next presidential contest unless
the incoming congress definitely settle it.
The campaign of 1888 was fought npon
the tariff planks of the two parties. The
Mills bill, which was as dead as the
Capulets, was tortured by the opposition
into a free trade measure, determined
the contest in favor of Harrison, al
though CLEVELAND received over 100000
more of the popular vote than the sue
cessful candidate. The Mckinley meas
ure became a law but the popular senti-
mcnt was SO strong against it that in the
state elections last year its supporters
were buried in defeat. Democratic GOV
ernors, democratic legislatures and a
democratic house of representa-
told the tale Of the peoples disap-
proval Of Mckinley's tariff. Last falls
election settled that measure.
The next house will, without doubt,
a free silver coinage bill. The SEN
ate, which is now more evenly divided
DetWecn the two parties than it was last
'ear, will pass the house bill. President
will veto it; the house will pass
bill over his veto and the senate will ,
AL to do it. This will leave the question t
lso2 Just where it is today. The issue !
I'll be SO nearly ON party lines that the {
parties will be compelled to take de
dcd stands upon the question newt p
Ear. The democrats will favor free and #
coinage Of silver, the rcpubli- y
ms Will oppose it. Unless, as stated, &
Re question be definitely settled the en- r,
ing winter, it will become a prominent, "
not the most prominent, issue in the III
'Xt national campaign. 1t is not pre-, ci
med that sight of the tariff question as
III be lost in succeeding political con ii
a perfect tariff is impossible with 81
changing conditions of trade and FIR
ereforc it will ever be, as it always has
a bone of contention between par
s. But it will be revised upon lines
IRE IN harmony with the masses of the
Dple. In the meantime the silver Nv,
estlon will come to the front as the -,

Owing to the great number Of horses
that VIII tie upon the grounds at this
city and the increasing interest being
taken IN the coming meeting the direc-
tors have concluded to add another day
to the programme, making four days
racing. This neccssitates a change in
date. The races will commence Satur-
day, the 10Th inst, instead of Monday,
the 18th. IL the weather be favorable
the indications point to a large gather
ing OF horsemen from near and remote
places and a most successful meeting as
far AS interest and attendance are CON
cerned. Several of the fastest horses in
the northwest will be upon the ground,
and as the track, in condition, is a fast
one, 1t will not be surprising if turf rec
