HE is FOR IRRIGATION.

The humor of the Butte Miner, deli
cate, delicious and djsjointed as it is, is
sometimes instructed. Notably, for
instance, in it's attempt to ridicule Com
modore Powers good work at the irriga-
cation convention. The commodore's
views on a subject SO vastly impor-
tant to Montana are sound and
sensible, were fearlessly expressed
and met with favor from the
delegates. Weare quite sure that when
he returns to Washington he will make
a brisk, aggressive fight for government
aid for irrigation in Montana, and that
his efforts will not only make congress
know what Montana wants but will re-
suit in substantial benefits. 1t is a
matter of very little Importance whether
he used the names OF Col. Sanders and
Commissioner Carter with or without
authority; they should be in sympathy
| with his views on the irrigation ques.
| ton and should unite their efforts with
his in securing much needed assistance
for this state. The commodore did mo-
show the energy in working for free sill
yer coinage that we would like to have
seen last year or that is characteristic
of him in business but he ls in earnes
on the irrigation question and should b.
encouraged. But in all events it is
bad time to throw cold water on an,
efforts to turn the arid lands of Mon
tana INTO fields of harvest.

from undue competition with foreign labor.
so that capital may be induced to lnbark

labor and production will be measured by
money of the highest purchasing power.

SIR EpwIN ARNOLD has found many
things to interest him In the United
States. He thinks the Americans the
most intellectual Of people, the thrift,
energy and size OF d cities surprise
him, and from his observation he CON
cludes TINT the United States IL the
most powerful nation on earth, with the
exception of England. An interesting
theory Of this distinguished editor and
poet ia that the tropics are the lands OF
the future, and in support Of this he
says:
u ID true, the north has been the great
Workshop. IL is here that intellect and
wealth have developed, but some time we
will tire Of the sleet and the snow and the
billiards.. England will onrry her intelli-
gence ana her wealth to Australia and
Africa, and you will do the same for South
America. Bates, the g~eographar, who
spent twelve years on the Amazon, regards
that region as the future home OF refine
ment and culture. The United States will
carry it there, and people OF your blood
will develop a higher civilization than III
world has yet seen under the warm sun OF
the tropics. South America has a capacity
to support 5o,0OO.0O0 of people, but IT must
be under an English civilization. The
Spanish states are too weak, and there is
too much Of an admixture of Indian blood
to develop a high social state among the
people now living there. The spur to pro-
g,ess must come from without, from the
United States.
Social scientists have maintained that
the prestige Of northern nations owe
those Of the south is largely due to
the climatic influences. While rich in
natural resources, the South American
countries have been populated largely
by people not weak in intellect, but
without ambition or energy.

SUGGESTIONS WANTED.

The Inter Mountain is quite wrong in
snying that The INDEPENDENT argues
that the tariff that protects home wages
and home industries is a fraud. 1t IS
the tariff that protects ~plutocrats and
millionaires and neglects W~age-earners
that is fraudulent. In d new country
where manufactures are struggling for
existence and depending up a sparsely
settled community for a home market,
protection is necessary for their vel
fare. This was true in the early history
Of the manufactures Of this republic
when a protective tariff was found nee
essary to encourage home Industries.
1t is not true now. The infant indus
tries long ago became giants and no
longer need a high tariff wall to keep
them from starvation. In all branches
Of trade there has been such progress as
to render the majority of manufacture
ing industries self-sustaining; but the
high protective tariff has been main
tanned at the expense of the people
through the energetic and successful
efforts Of opulent m~illionaires and the
republican party. AS a consequence, it
has become a burden IN the people and
is no longer to be defended as a means
Of protection where protection is
needed. Perhaps the best evidence OF
this is the remarkable growth of anti
tariff sentiment within the last four
years. On the issue of tariff reform we
find the democratic party making sweep
ing victories from the manufacturing
state of Massachusetts through New
York, in Indiana and the great agricul-
tural states of the west. Iaborers, far
mers and artisans Of all classes are daily
coming to learn that the protective tar
iff as it now stands in this country is a
great and useless tax which draws
money from the pockets OF many for the
support of few.
But in the illustration of broom corn
the Inter Mountain would have It's read
ers believe that the manufacture of
brooms cannot be carried on in Montana
because of outside competition. We
are not prepared to say whether this is
true or not but il it is what remedy
would the Inter Mountain propose?
Would it carry it's endorsement of a pro-
tective tariff to the recommendation Of
a protective tariff for Montana as
against all other states? IL a protective
tariff is a good thing for a country what
is the matter with forty-two protective
tariffs, one for each state?

THE suggestion of Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Nettleton that an
other department of the government be
created to relieve the treasury depart
ment of part of it's work seems
we'll grounded. One proof of the
necessity of this proposed creation
is that three secretaries of the treasury
IN succession have died in office, and
that in each instance over work has
been given as the cause. Mr.. Nettleton
thinks that the department proposed
should include all the divisions and bu,
reaus outside the actual department OF
finance. Among these are navigation
and emigration, the life saving service
the revenue marine service, and other
departments which could be easily

Jay Makes Charges

CHICAGO, Jan. ia sensation was Gre
ated in railroad circles to-day by the re-
ceipt of private dispatches from New York
outlining the proceedings Of the presidents
meeting. The dispatches announced that
Jay Gould had preferred charges of rate
cutting against the Burlington road and
demanded the discharge of General Freight
Agent Miller. If the charge can be clinched
by necessary proof the Burlington will be
compelled, under the agreement of the
Western Traffic association, to let Miller
90, unless it prefers to disrupt the organi-
cation by Withdrawing from the agreement.
It is believed here that the latter alterna-
tive will be chosen.

Col. ELIOT T. SHEPPARD has been
greatly criticised Of late because of a
headline in his paper, the New York
Mail and Express, in which the word
sd" appeared. In a subsequent in
teryiew the colonel said the word
damn is not profanity, and added that
his reporters could use the word as often
as they pleased. Such radicalism can
not be accounted for, except on the
ground that this distinguished journal
list was mad clear through when inter
viewed. 1t ought to be sufficient ground
for a charge of heresy.

for a permit system for the sale and

has been much protective legislation for

citizens, should be protected from the

the coal and mineral fields of San Pedro.
