Our gold bug Butte contemporary, tn,
Inter Mountain, takes great pleasure ir
publishing the statement of the Hon. j
X. Clark of Walkcrville that "his mer
are praying three times a day for the
passage of the Bland free crinage bill.
The Inter Mountain then adds: "But il
seems their supplications have been il
vain and will continue to be in vain at
long AS they are based on democratic
promises And Col. Read could have
said. and as long as they are based on

1t makes the average reader decidedly
weary to read the rot with which Mon.

For the same reader knows, If he knows
enough to come in out OF the wet, that q
republican congress has defeated -four
silver coinage bills. the last one being
defeated in the republican house by re,
publican votes last winter. In the face
of these facts and in the face of the fur
Their fact that there is not today a single
prominent republican in the United
States cast of the Missouri river who IA
vors free silver coinage, it is the acme of
falschood and hypocricy for republican
journals to assert, much less to contend,
that the republican party is the friend
of silver.
1t is true and it will be readily con-
coded there are republicans in the west.
especially in Montana. who would be
pleased to see the Bland coinage bill be.
come a law, but they have no party or
gan in this state-not a single one.
There is mo- a republican journal in
Montana that has come out fairly and
squarcly in favor of the Bland bill.
Their space and the time and talent Of
their editors have been devoted to slur-
ring remarks about and silly criticisms
of certain leading democrats who be

upon it until after the presidential cleo
ton when with Il democratic congress
and Il democratic president a free coin
age bill would become a law. Il is safe
to say furthermore there is not a rcpub-
iican newspaper in Montana that would
not rather see The Bland bill defeated in
the house than see it pass it, FOR the
reason that its defeat by that body
would make political capital which they
could and would use against the demo
cratic party in this state. This may
sound like harsh language but it il true.
and every sensible reading man in the
state knows it. Silver has not a friend
among ali the republican journals in
Montana. Mr.. Clark's men may pray
every hour in the day and he no better
of than they are now If the gold bug
gods Of the east turn as deaf an ear to
their petitions as do the republican
of Montana.

Tar starving poor of Berlin parading
the streets of that city demanding bread
and breaking into and looting bakeries
and butchers shops is a sight seldom
witnessed in these latter days. In view
of the suffering of its people it would
seem at this distance that Germany
should suspend the operation Of all its
tariffs upon all foreign meats and bread
stutfs. and thus give the suffering people
free bread and free meat. The end is
not yet and il bloodshed do not follow
the rioting for food It will be due to the
forbc arance of the police and military.

THINK IL O\ F.t..

tndcr the above caption the Helena
Journal suggests that in view Of the
general shutting down of the mills and
mines in Butte On account Of the low
price of silver that miners. mine officers
and all other employees of mines make
IA reduction in their wages equal to the
decline in silver in order to secure the
continued running of the mills and
working Of the mining properties in that
city. 1t further advises in order "to
carry the equity still further the owners
of houses should cut down their rents
to meet the cut in wages while it is in
force" In other words, the journal would
have the miners and landlords of Butte
adjust their wages and rents to the tluc-
tuating market price of silver. For in
stance. if silver be quoted at &',. as it
now is. wages shall be, say. So per day:
if quoted at 81 wages shall be S3.25. and if
quoted at ~ a days labor shall com
mand $50, and SO IN, wages to run up
and down on a sliding scale. keeping
pace with the varying market price of
sil>e or as fixed in London.
Let US see how this would work. The
miner is met at the shaft house 10y the
shift boss. who holds IA telegram in his
hand. John" he says. %'silver has tum-
bled five points since yesterday. Your
wages today will be twenty five cents less
than yesterday. DO you wish to work.
John thinks Of the little wife and baby
whom he has Just left at home, heaves
Il sigh. and dcscends the shaft. The
next day he learns that silver has again
tumbled. and he suffers another reduc-
ton in his wages. As the price of cop
per sympathizes. in a measure, with that
Of silver about the same program is re-
pcated at the copper mine shaft house.
In the end it becomes understood that
miners wages in Butte is fixed by Lon
don silver spectators.
The Journal cannot claim originality
for it's plan. 1t was suggested by a
Butte crank several years ago and
secuted as visionary and impracticable.
II was argued. and with reason. that if
the wages of miners was to be regulated
by the price Of silver, the regulation
should extend all along the line OF
trades and avocations, from the mine
superintendent to the boot black on the
street, and that the price OF flour and
meat and clothing and all other neces-
saries of life should he gagged bv the
market quotations Of the metal.
The Journa. seems to forget that there
is another and "A better way to Tx the
pay OF miners and other wage carners a
way that eliminates all uncertainty from
the pay roll Of mine owners and from the
weekly receipts Of the miner. That way
is found in the free coinage Of silver.
Give the metal a fixed value, %unintlu-
enced ar unaffected by the manipulations
Of combines or syndicatcs, and the value
Of labor may he definitely fixed. Gold
standard journals. however. do not ap-
pear to seize upon that fact with that
spontancity which charactcrizes such
outbursts Ms our Helena contemporary
voiced in the article above referred to.

By the way it does not appear that the
republican members Of the house are
"vociferously hilarious" just now over
the prospects Of the passage of a free
coinage measure. 1t is said that less
than ten out Of a membership Of eighty
odd will favor the Bland bill. And still
we are told that the republican party is
the friend of the white metal.
