Mlssoulian: Ballard Smith, late of
the New York World. an ass in any
state of the Union. is said to be coming
to Montana on delicate mission for the !
national democratic committee. He will
not get as far as Livingston before the
boys have him out snipe hunting.
*A*
Pioneer Press: Scarcely any mention
is being made by democrats and popu-
lists Of the fact that binding twine has
declined in price about 33 1-3 per cent
as these are constantly occurring and
give rise to the suspicion that the dem
agogues are not quite frank with the
people.

National Bulletin: Holman, the econ
omst, is fairly beaten by the record of
expenditure of congress. He whines in
extenuation that the increase over the
appropriations of the fifty first congress
are due to legislation by that congress.
He means the pension legislation, not
ably the dependent pension bill. But
no attempt has been made by the dem
ocratic house to repeal that legislation.
They had not the courage. At the
same time it is safe to say that there
will be no further increase of expendi-
lures made necessary by pension legis-
lation enacted by congress.

New York Tribune 1t is fact that
cannot be denied that the workingmen
of America are receiving greater wages
in money by more than so per cent.
than they received before republican
protection began in 1861. 1t is equally
undeniable that every dollar they re-
ceive in wages will today buy more than
S13O would have bought in 1861. These
two facts ought to be enough to deter
mine every reasonable workingman to
vote for Harrison and for the contnna-
ton of the great industrial policy which
has brought such results.

J Economist The consistency of free
trade democrats is something remarka
BILE. The democratic platform denies
that our country has prospered. Ed
t ward Atkinson, a distinguished demo
, crotic free trader, says that it was never
so prosperous before. The democrati,
, platform asserts that prices are highe
s and wages lower since the new tariff Law
I passed. Two democratic senators
/ Carlisle and Harris, agree with othe
8 members of the committee that price
0 are lower and wages higher since tn
q enactment of that law. But then wha
v consistency can be expected from
h party whose sole claim to power ha
Q rested on the howls Of calamityites an,
# the yaporings of cranks?
