NOT UNFAIR.

The Leader charges the TRIBUNE with
drawing ian unfair and wholly unwar-
ranted conclusion in its analysis of the
Leaders opinion of the Helena Journal
souvenir" The conclusion of the TRIB-
N was in perfect accord with the Lead
er's criticism of the souvenir, as those
who feel any interest in the matter may
learn by reading the following:
We have examined a copy of the Hell
ena Journals souvenir edition. 1t con-
tains about thirty pages, filed mostly
with paid biographical notices and cheap
cuts, which make the persons represent
ed look like horse thieves or idiots.
Something like half a page is devoted to
Great Falls, and this much contains
many errors.-Tuesday's Leader.
1t will be seen that the Leader charges
that "the persons represented look like
thieves or idiots" The TRIBUNE took
exception to this sweeping allegation
and in the course of it's remarks said:
1.-THE gentlemen are all recognizable by
their friends and not one of them would
w eoh'h VI thC poi VI Il tlici VI "
lot The tribune fails to see wherein
it is unfair to the Leader. The TRIBUNE
could have put it much stronger and
would have been justified in 10 doing,
had it said that the cuts of the very
eminent gentlemen whose portraits APP
pear in the souvenir do not 'look like
thieves or idiots" and that the Leader
uttered a malicious and libellous false
hood in saying they do. For that is just
what the Leader said, whether it meant
it or not. If it thought the souvenir
was a fake and "A moncy-making scheme
it should have said so and not attempted
to show its coarse wit by charging that
the cuts of reputable and prominent
gentlemen of Great Falls "look like horse
thieves or idiots" The Leader owes
these gentlemen an apology and should
hasten to make it.

NIEDRINGHAUS' SPECULATION

That some congressman know how to
turn an 'honest penny" when things
break their way is thus pointed out by
the Anaconda Standard: "Mr. Med
ringhaus of st. Louis, chief of the tin
plate prophets, is accused by the st.
Louis Republic of beating the McKin-
ley bill for the benefit of his own pocket.
In other words, although he has an al
legged tinplate factory of his own, Mr..
Niedringhaus has imported about $500,
600 pounds of the tinplate of the wicked
foreigners and the moment the increased
duty went into effect, he was $4,000
richer by the operation. IF he had not
worked and voted for the tax says that
newspaper, the Republic would have
nothing to say, but as it is we cannot do
otherwise than say he is guilty of a
breach of his trust as a congressman in
the whole business. Through a law
which he voted to place on the statute
books he is reaping a profit in money
which he has no more earned than if he
had actually taken it with his own hands
from the pockets of Taxpayers But, as
has been remarked, patriots like Mr..
Niedringhaus are not in the stateman-
ship business for the benefit of their
health"

ADDED TESTIMONY.

1t has been asserted by democratic
speakers and the democratic press tina
American manufactured Implement
were sold to foreign u cheaper
than they were sold to the home trade
The assertion has been denied by repub
lican speakers and republican prints az
often as it has been made. And these
denials have been made in the face o.
overwhelming proofs of the fact. Else
where in this issue the reader will find {
letter from Mr.. A. b. Farquhar, president
of a large manufacturing firm in York
Pa, which furnishes additional proof of
the allegations referred to. The atten
ticn of the doubling Thomases is called
to it.
Mr.. Farquhar shows how the thing
is done. 'The embargo" he says, upon
outside competition and upon outside
raw material, "advances the price OF
goods in this country beyond any figure
possible for it to reach in countries where
the law visits the consumer with a small.
er degree of ingenious malignity.' In.
genlous m~alignity is another name
for the Mckinley tariff. II
will be noticed that the
laborcr does not get the benefit of this
tariff. Manufacturers receive it. They,
however, cannot always sell their pro-
ducts in the protected home market and
SO they ship their goods to a free market
where they can be sold at less profit, but
still they can be sold and that is what
the manufacturer makes them for-for
sale. Mr.. Farquhar tells all about it.
His exposition of the workings of the
Mckinley wool schedule is borne out by
facts. He tells why the wool grower re-
ceives from 4 to D cents a pound less for
his wool than before the Mckinley bill
became a law, and then pays more for
his clothing and his carpets and other
woolens. His conclusion is correct. IF
the American farmer wishes to enjoy the
twofold advantage of the lowest possible
price in the purchase of his supplies, and
the best prices for his wheat, corn and
cotton exported to pay for them, the
tariff embargo must be removed"
In the face of this added testimony
the opposition prints should lose their
appetite for denouncing as campaign lies
the oft-repeated declarations that Ameri-
a manufactures are sold in foreign
markets cheaper than they are sold to
home consumers.

Portable and easy going. There was no

PoET Scout, Montana and Tammany
have nobly represented this state upon
the eastern turf this year. The list
could be extended further, but these
three having contended with and de-
feated some of the bluest equine bloods
in the east deserve special mention. But
they are simply the forerunners of what
Montana will send to the front each re-
curing year. The state is the natural
home of the race horse. In no other do
all the essentials necessary to produce
the highest type of the animal exist in
such a happy combination. Its altitude
gives it a rare, pure, bracing atmosphere
in which lung power reaches its maxi
num-. Its waters and it's nutritious
grasses contain bone, blood, muscle and
discriminating properties in a superlative
degree, while it's dry rolling surface de-
velop the best feet in the world. The
turf record in the future will bear the
name of Montana high up on it's pages.

No EMBER of the press was permitted
to be present at the Sing Sing electrocu,
ton. Note the result. Every newspaper
in the country had something to say
about it editorially or in it's news col
umns. A few facts were published
among an immense mass of misinfor-
nation, and though every witness was
pledged to secrecy concerning the de-
tails of the affair, two or three of them
felt constrained, in the interest of truth,
to give the press a concise account of it.
All of which go to show that the press
cannot be gagged. If facts be withheld
rumors will be published whether they
have a foundation in truth or not. The
law should be amended so as to permit an
intelligent and truthful account of cleo
trocutions to be published. The publ
cation cannot be more shocking to sensi-
tive nerves than the publication of a
prize fight.

DRIFT OF

The recent census bureau bulletin on
the distribution of population according
to the altitude Of the country affords
an interesting study. 1t appears that in
that portion of the United States lying
under 800 feet above sea level the popu-
lation is engaged in manufacturing. in
foreign and in the cultivation
of cotton, rice. and sugar. In that por-
ton lying between the 800 and l,5U feet
the principal occupation of the people is
grain and pork raising. The population
between the 1000 and 5000 feet is
mainly found on the great western plains
at the foot of the Rocky mountains.
The average elevation at which the in
habitants of the country lived in 1870
was 6S7 feet. In 1856 it had increased
to 739 feet and last year to 1888 feet.
These figures indicate that the popu-
lation of the country is slowly climbing
to a higher altitude. AS the great plains
and plateaus in the west and northwest
become settled the average will be higher
still. The average altitude of Montana,
including its mountain peaks and valley
lands, is 5000 feet above sea level. Great
Falls is $3.50 feet. BY the way, it may
be said this city represents the average
altitude of the state. The settlement of
Montana. Wyoming. Colorado, Utah,
Idaho, and New Mexico, each of the five
being higher than this state. will bring
the average elevation at which the in
habitants of the country live to 1000 feet
or over. From apparent causes the man
ufactorics of the country occupy the
lower levels, but with the settlement Of
the west and the development of its
vast water powerthey will reach a higher
elevation.

DID LINCOLN FAVOR Johnson

The death Of Hannibal Hamlin has re-
vived the almost forgotten discussion as
to whether Lincoln favored the nomina
ton of Hamlin for vice president for the
second term Or whether he favored An
drew johnson for that office. Editor
Mcclure of the Philadelphia Times, who
was a Pennsylvania delegate at large to
the republican convention in 1864 which
r~enominated Lincoln, positively states
that "Lincoln gravely urged the nomi-
nation of Johnson" Mcclure voted for
johnson in convention in Difference to
Lincoln's wish. The reasons Lincoln
assigned for desiring the nomination of
johnson are thus given by Col. Mcclure:
The n great shadow that hung over
him and his power was the sectional
character of the ruling party and the
government. 1t weakened his arm to
make peace; it strengthened European
hostility to the cause Of the union, and it
left the south without even a silver
lining to the dark cloud of subJugation.
Lincoln firmly believed that the nomi-
nation of johnson, an old democratic
southern senator, who had been aggress-
lively loyal to the union, and who was
then military governor of his rebelliOus
but restored state, would not only desec-
tionalize the party and the government,
but would chill and curb the %anti-union
sentiment of England and France and
inspire the friends of the union in those
countries to see a leading southern
statesman coming from a conquered in
surgent state to the second office of the
republic.
1t will be conceded that Lincoln's
reasoning was in the line of good com
mon sense. He occupied a position of
the greatest delicacy in politics, and,
while he did not desire nor would not
assume the role of political master, there
was SO much at stake IN reuniting a dis
severed union that he felt compelled to
make the suggestion noted by the Times
editor, and for the reasons stated. The
fact that Johnson's nomination and cleo
ton were afterwards fruitful of humili-
ations to the republican party does not
in the least reflect upon the purity Of
Lincoln's motives, nor does it add
strength to the denial of Hamlin's or
Lincoln's old-time friends that johnson
was the choice of the latter. Lincoln
did what he thought was best for the
country. He lost sight of party in his
desire to save the union. This fact
stands to his credit. The omniscient eye
alone could see the ultimate result.
Lincoln was only human. The whole
matter, however, has no value aside
from perfecting the page of history
which records the events of those stir
ring times.

on SILVER.

No will deny that the Albany journal
is a square-toed republican paper, or that
John Sherman is a representative repub-
lican upon the leading political issues of
nation of all that hisparty favors-a high
protective tariff, recommendation and CEN
tralization of power. He will never be
nominated for president because his
party knows he cannot be elected. But
he is sworn by and quoted and being the
mouthpiece of Wall street and other gold
bugs, whatever he says upon questions
of finance is Immediately incorporated
into the tenets of his party. He recently
wrote a letter in opposition to the free
coinage of silver, and as the letter and
the comments of the Albany Journal re-
fleet the sentiments of the republican
party upon the question of silver coinage
the utterance of the latter is given.
Here is what it says:
John Sherman's letter in opposition to
the free coinage of silver should receive
the attention of every intelligent man
who believes in protecting the money of
the United States from debasement, it's
finances from arrangement, it's credit
from impairment, and it's commercial, in
dustrial, and agricultural interests from
disaster. In this plain, frank and com
prehensive expression Of opinion Senator
Sherman not only voices republican
sentiment in it's protest against free
silver but constructs the financial plat
form which the republican party will Oc-
cupy in 1892.
This is the document which should be
posted in every bank and business Office,
and read at every fireside in the country;
it is the calm, sober and serious cor
depths and shoals of finance, who has
shaped the monetary policy of the
United States during the past quarter of
a century, and who now, out of the
wealth of knowledge and experience,
points out the path of national safety.
According to the Journal Mr.. Sher-
mans sentiments upon the question will
be crystallIzed into a plank in the re-
publican national platform next year.
This may be done but W. do not believe
it. While it is well known that IA an or
ganization the republican party is IA gold
bug party we do not believe it dare invite
the opposition of the farmers and other
laboring men of the country by boldly
taking a stand against the free coinage
of silver.
