Will. Mr.. Blaine permit his name to
go before the Minneapolis convention:
lie can't helpit. Ir his political friends
want to nominate him there Is no earth
ly power to prevent them. But here is
the point. Mr.. Blaine can't prevent
birds from flying over his head but he
can prevent them from: making nests in
his hair iIe may not be able to pre-
vent his friends nominating him at Min
neapolis, but he can refuse the nomina-
ton. Will he refuse it! After his Clark
son letter can he accept it? That is the
question. Let those who profess to un-
derstand Mr.. Blaine answer the ques-
ton.
The weekly tribune., 1892-05-28
THE PROGRAM.

The program Of the anti Harrison men
seems to be about as follows: Blaine
will be nominated by the Minneapolis
convention regardless of his wishes in
the matter. II he accept Alger will be
nominated for the second place and will
become president upon the death of
Blaine which contingency is anticipated.
II Blaine refuse to accept the conven-
ton will nominate Alger, and Blaine
would enjoy the distinction Of being the
only American citizen who declined the
nomination for the presidency. How
ever, every effort will be made to prevail
upon Blaine to accept.
Blaine men assert that he need do no
more than write letter of acceptance
He can remain at Washington and at
tend to his duties as secretary of state
and his friends will see to the rest. The
program is very pretty one-on paper.
III Blaine become candidate he must
work for his election. No man living
owns the presidency of these United
States, and no man living will find a
primrose path leading to it. Mr.. Blaine
will find stern, sturdy foes inside as well
as outside the republican party. He
must placate the one and fight the other.
He can not be an idle nor an Indifferent
observer of the battle. lie must take a
hand in it. Is he able to do it? Can he
stand the excitement and the wear and
tear of red-hot political campaign
such as the ensuing one will be? If he
can all the stories which have been set
afloat concerning his i'll health are ca
nards of the first water.

The facts elected by Mr.. Halls investi-

The facts elected by MIR. Halls investi-
cations may be profitably pondered by
protcctionists especially by those who
assert that clothing is cheaper under the
present tariff than it ever was before. III
this were true there would be no incen-
tive for tourists abroad to stock up with
three or four hundred dollars worth of
clothing upon returning. But the fact
is they can't get the kind of clothing
they bring with them in this country
without paying big price for it. The
clothing a man buys in Europe for say
$500 cant be bought in this country for
that sum. The average duty upon it is
30 per cent. Ii the duty were paid the
cost after landing here would be $3.50.
The man who is unable to travel abroad
and make his purchases there must pay
at least that amount for the same guam
ity and quality of clothing at his mer-
chants. He cannot get it cheaper
There is where the wealthy has the
pull on the poor and where money
finds warm nest in the pocket of the
rich

THE MOuI.TON STRIKE.

The owners of the Moulton mine at
Neihart are not the only gamers by the
rich strike which was recently made in
that property. While it may directly be
of great pecuniary advantage to the
stockholders, and may enrich them to IA
marked extent, it gives brighter color
to the mining outlook in this portion of
Montana and adds no little value to sur
rounding mining properties For the
history of western mining shows that no
large area of mineral ground contains
but one very rich mine. The Neihart
district contains hundreds of promising
prospects as well AS many known mines
of value. Some of these prospects may
develop into bonanzas The history Of
mining thus frequently repeats itself.
But the results of that one strike will
be most favorable to Great Falls. 1t
establishes most important fact, and
that is, that large deposits of very rich
ore exist in the Belt range of mountains.
The meaning of this is plain 1t begets
greater confidence in the mineral re
sources of the city and encourages more
extended developments in other mineral
properties in the same and contiguous
districts. A half dozen or dozen Moul-
tons would mean the erection of several
reduction works in the city and the en-
ployment of large numbers of men. They
would mean IA generous pay roll and the
monthly distribution of large sums of
money. AS it is the strike possesses
great value to the city in the assurance
it gives that other rich--very rich -
mines will be found in its almost immc-
date vicinity.

objectionable of the items of the bill, as
it was pissed by the house, to get in the

The weekly tribune., 1892-05-28

WHILE leading democratic journals in
other states are not slow to express their
preferences for the presidential candi-
date for their party those of Montana
have nothing to say. They are merely
watching and praying watching the
drift of public sentiment toward free
silver coinage and praying that it may
be strong enough in the Chicago con
vention to put free silver plank in its
platform With one securely pinned to
that instrument they will not be particu-
lar as to the presidential candidate Of
the party. Any one of the number
named would win.
