WHILE admitting that the price Of
wool is lower under the Mckinley tariff
than ever before known in this country,
republican journals attempt to console
sheepmen with the unsustainei declara
ton that the price would be much lower
fit were not for this same Mckinley
law. This reminds is of the reply of the
good wife to her husband who was be-
wailing the loss of his dogs tail which
had been cut off by a falling axe, within
an inch of the animals body, my dear,
it could have been much worse" "How,"
queried the grieved husband. "The dog
might have lost the other inch.'

SATURDAY. AUGUST 10. 1892.
THE ONLY QUESTION.

The voters of this country are called
upon in this campaign to decide only one
question. and that is: Does protection
better their condition. OF course the
question suggests many others but the
proper ansver is to the one stated. 1t is
commended by protectionists that a high
tariff means high wages. Does it give
nigh wages: If it does who pays it. the
employer or the consumer: If the con-
sumner pay the wages in the added cost
Of the articles he buys wherein is he
benefited: Who is getting rich by pro-
lection, the employer or the employee:
These are among the questions which
suggest themselves to the inquirer after
the truth. and he should not be put off
with evasive W
If protection give high wages the
laboring men Of the country should be
prosperous and contended. This a self
evident proposition. Again if protection
give high wages it is because the tariff
enables the employer to pay it. Now
comes the questions: Are the laboring
men of the country prosperous and con-
tented? Are employers able to pay high
wages? In speaking Of laboring men
farmers. merchants. mill operatives and
all others who support themselves by
daily bodily toll are meant.
Labor men are reckoned prosperous
who decently support themselves and
their families and lay aside something
for idle days. When they can do this
they should be contented. Employers are
able to pay high wages when the profits
of their business will leave them broad
margins. Again, il laboring men receive
high wages and employers are able to
pay it, strikes and lock outs would be un-
known. All businesses would be carried
on in an uninterrupted channel. and
peace and plenty would be the rule.
But if laboring men do not receive. and
employers cannot pay good wages. peace
and plenty among the laboring classes
would be the exception These opo
liOLb are dloo btll -cNlutHl. Lei us see
how this matter stands.
The democratic party charges that
protection as illustrated by the Mckinley
tariff works to the injury OF the laboring
masses. In proof Of this it points to the
tens OF thousands Of farms in the agri-
cultural western states plastered with
mortgages. and to the numerous labor
strikes and lockouts adj over the country
caused by cuts in wages Of employees.
Republican journals can not explain
away these glaring facts. They d. not
attempt to explain them. They simply
deny the existence Of all those which
have not assumed such huge proportions
as 10 bring them prominently before the
people. In the Homestead case they
take the part 1 Carnegie and contend
the employees would receive big wages
under the reduced scale, and that they

IT is said that Roger @. Mills aspires
to the governorship of Texas. The SEN
ate is distasteful to him and if he can
get the democratic nomination he will
resign the senatorship and run for gov
ernor. This is a reversal of the order of
things. Many men ambitious to enter
the senate make the governorship the
stepping stone. AS Mills can get any
thing he wants within the gift of the
people of his state he will doubtless be
the next governor of Texas.

THERE may exist reasons in the minds
OF some why a new set of delegates to
the state convention to be held in this
city should be elected. But if those
parties will reflect a moment they will
see that the state central committee
could not afford to stultify itself by call
ing upon counties for another election
of delegates. 1t is equally clear that
county central committees can not issue
such call and keep within the bounds of
it's legitimate work. 1t is better not to
violate the usages of the party in the
early history of the state. Let the party
follow the presidents established by it's
fathers and it will always have clear
sailing.

The state democratic central commit
tee in its call for the state convention
very properly stated that the delegates
and a%lternates to the Bozeman conven-
ton would be to the delegates and alter
mates to the Great Falls convention.
This is in harmony with the customs
and usages of the party and follows the
precedent set years ago that the DEGREES
of state and county committees, though
unwritten. are laws which must be
obeyed by members of the party.

A SORRY SIGHT.

The sorriest, and at the same time the
most humiliatlng spectacle to republicans
which that party has ever been called
upon to present to the world is afforded
by the nomination Of Knute Nelson for
governor by Minnesota republicans. In
1888 Knute Nelson stood side by side with
Mills in his advocacy Of the %latter's
tariff. Mr.. Nelson knew what he was
about and what he wanted, but some OF
mis- fool newspaper friends would mako il
appear he was an imbecile at the time by
putting the following wordsin his mouth
as an explanation of his advocacy of and
vote for the bill:
i knew that under our constitution no
tariff bill could originate in the senate,
and ] also knew hat any tariff bill, how
ever mean it might be, if it passed the
house. if it got over to the republican
senate, would be corrected.
If knute Nelson made that explana-
ton of his vote he is a fool. If he did
not he ought to choke off his fool news
paper friends. But Nelson is no fool.
and if the truth were known he said
nothing of the kind. For Mr.. Nelson
knows the people of his state have not
forgotten the fact that he not only voted
for the Mills bill, but that he himself
introduced a bill to put rice, salt, coal,
lumber, manila, jute. and sisal grass,
binding Irvine and other articles on the
free list. And in the face of these facts
does any intelligent man suppose the
people of his state are prepared to &C
cept as true the paltry, contemplate ex-
PLANTATION attributed to him? or that he
would stoop to such transparent dema-
gogy? Do they think a man of Mr..
Nelson's acknowledged sagacity and
shrewdness would make such a holy
show of himself when nothing could be
gained by it? They do not.
The fact is the republicans of Mime
sofa found themselves "in a hole" An
avowed protectionist cannot be elected
governor of that state. The republican
leaders know it. The peoples party was
drawing the Scandinavian vote to it.
Something must be done to check it or
Harrison would lose the state. Knute
Nelson is a Scandinavian and a free
trader. The Scandinavians are rapidly
being inoculated with free trade ideas.
They hit upon the plan to nominate
Nelson and swallow him and his free
trade dogmas to get support for Harrison
electors. Here you have the whole
matter.
AS far as the jewel of consistency is
concerned the republicans of Minnesota
may as well have nominated Roger @.
Mills, himself, if he were a resident of
the state and called himself a democrat,
for Nelson is as fully committed to free
trade as is Mills. The fact is Minnesota
republicans have made themselves the
laughing stock Of the country. They
have repeated the foolishness of the
democrats in 1872 when they nominated
Greeley for the presidency.

the masses of the republican party which

 The gentleman good naturedly replied that he, too, thought he had seen tho others face, but was at loss to tell where.
