Giuseppe Moresi, charged with the murder of
Ionchilla sevedore, said that while the evil
dence OF guilt was not very strong against

LIVING IN GREAT FALLS.

Great Falls is rapidly gaining the repu-
tation of being one of the most pleasant
places in Montana to live. 1t is not only
pleasant on account of its location on
the banks of a magnificent river, and
with every natural surrounding to make
it beautiful and attractive. but il has
this advantage over every other city in
the state. that many of the chief neces
saries of life are more abundant and
cheaper than elsewhere. This is espec-
tally the case in regard to water. light
for an ordinary household cost from
$3.50 to 81 per month; coal is delivered
at 81 a ton. and water rents both for do
nestle use and for motive power are eX-
tremely low. a three-horse water power
costing but So per month, and ordinary
domestic supply from 81 to 50.
These figures will appear somewhat
strange to the residents of other parts of
the state, where these three prime neces-
sites of domestic life cost about twice as
much as they do in Great Falls.
But there are further advantages
which few persons have taken the
trouble to think about. In the first
place there is a considerable difference
in the price of freight in favor of Great
Falls. over nearly every city in the state,

goods. groceries and other commodities

where. This is why so many men are
bringing their families here to live, even
though their occupation takes them to
other points. and it accounts in part for
the great demand for houses in Great
Falls. and for the fact that there is not a
property of any Importance to be OBJ
tanned within the city limits.
The transient visitors in the city are
now too numerous for the present hotel
accommodations and these will have to
be largely extended at once. Before
another year has passed unless another
first class hotel is built. it will be a
serious problem what to do with the
strangers who come here to look around
for investments and business oppor-
tunities.
1t may be said without eyaggeration
that Great Falls is the most promising
young city l n the northwest today.

EXPORT PRICES.

The advocates of tariff reform have
often called attention to the fact that,
the protected manufacturers export
their products and sell them to foreign
ers at a price much lower than they sell
them to home purchasers. The high
tariff organs have very bitterly de-
nounced this statement and insisted
that it is wholly false.
Nevertheless it is a fact that our lin
FAINT industries" do sell to foreigners at
lower prices than they do to home con-
sumers. One of tho papers in which
they advertise these goods for export is
the Engineering and Mining Journal.
When the disclosure of the facts was
first made they excited considerable at
tention and the protectionists devoted a
great deal of time and space to a denial.
But in response to an inquiry the Engi-
neering and Mining journal wrote the
following letter to the New York World:
Your statement that the foreigners
car buy at retail in this market cheaper
than the domestic consumer is as indis-
putable as the daily revolution Of the
earth. We can enumerate any number
of instances where houses have written
us: "Prices furnished are for export
only, and it would be most injurious to
us if these figures were circulated in the
home market
How do the miners and ranchmen of
Montana like it! Will they vote to
maintain in power "a party that enables
the manufacturers for whose benefit
they are taxed to sell his products to
the foreigners at a lower figure than he
will sell in Montana?

TARIFF ~NES.

The high tariff organs have a very
ticklish task before them in balancing
the paradoxes of protection. They are
very busy trying to prove:
l. That putting a tax on an article
cheapens it to consumers.
2. That cheapening the product en-
ables the manufacturer to increase or to
maintain wages.
3. That the cost of food can be re-
duced to workingmen, while the farmer
gets higher prices for his products on ac-
count of a tariff on foodstuffs which con-
stitute the main part Of our exporte.
4. That the foreigners really pay the
duty, though Mr.. Mckinley, in the kind
ness of his heart, taxes them only $780,
100000 a year towards the expenses Of
the government.
1t is a very nice piece of tight rope
balancing which the defenders Of taxing
a nation into prosperity have undertaken,

THE RECORD.
sugar..

The republicans are very fond of call
ing their party the grand old party, and
of pointing to what they are pleased to
call its record. They always make this
a text for singing mud at their oppo.
nents. And they have already begun
mud slinging.in this campaign.
But the fact is the republican party is
not in good shape to throw mud at its
opponents. The creditable part of its
record is remote and historic, and the
present generation of republican poll
ticians and so,called leaders has nothing
to do with its ancient glories. They may
plume themselves upon the achievements
of the party in its early career, but the
party of today is the party of thirty
years ago only in name. 1t is the weak
and unworthy descendant of a once great
organization, inspired with noble ideas
impelling it toward great and bene-
tcient pu lie ends. Today it is the tool
of protected corporations; the instru-
ment through which plutocrats, and
monopolists, and usurers work out their
schemes of plumber and oppression.

THE CHEAP SUGAR TRICK.

The high-tax organs make a great
noise over the removal Of the tax on su-
gar. 1.-THE republican party has given
you cheap sugar." they shout. Well,
where does the money come from with
which to pay the bounty to the sugar
producers of this country? 1t comes
from the tax on imported goods, which
the consumers of sugar pay. The price
Of one article is made higher to lower
the price of another. 1t is simply an
other case of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
The sugar trick is a very gauzy one.
1t will be hard to buy votes by appeal
ing to the sweet tooth with cheap sugar,
when the bounty money required to pay
the sugar producers comes from an extra
tax on wearing apparel and many other
necessities which have to be purchased
in abundance in this cold climate. If
the sugar bounty was paid by a direct
property tax then the consumer might
not have to pay the bulk Of it. But
under the whole tariff system it is the
consumer who has to pay the govern

lied some Of the newspaper history OF
this region.
The TRIBUNE means to be first OF all
a newspaper. Believing that the prices
hitherto charged have become too high,
and that business may be promoted by a
concession in this respect, the tribune
will be the first among Montana daily
newspapers to cut down its subscription
rates. Beginning today the price of
yearly subscriptions will be 81, or 20
cents a month, and all subscriptions are
to be paid in advance. This will apply
to all new subscribers and to renewals,
and also to all delinquent subscribers
who take the paper at the old rates and
have failed to pay their subscriptions,
providing they will pay up in the pext
sixty days.
1t will pay every citizen to watch the
course of the TRIBUNE, because there is
no mans just interest that it will not
promote and defend, and there is moth
ing of public Importance that will not
be found in its columns.

WATCH THE TRIBUNE.

AS there is always room for improve
ment in every line Of business and in
every occupation, the newspaper is no
exception to the rule. In new commu-
mites when populations are small and
business of every kind is in its infancy
there is no branch of human endeavor
which has a harder struggle for existence
than the newspaper. The TRIBUNE has
grown up with this community and has
IA thorough knowledge Of its needs and
it's ambitions, and while it has passed
through the struggle of the formative
period, through the liberal patronage Of
it's friends, it intends from this time for
ward to give better value than ever for
the support it receives and to provide a
newspaper which will fully represent the
spirit and interests of the people Of Mon.

Prick A REPUBLICAN,.

1t is not likely that the terrible days
at Homestead have been forgotten, but
owing to a shrewd bi. of misrepresenta-
ton on the part Of the republican press,
an impression has gained ground that
Mr.. Prick, the culpab!e manager of the
Carnegie works. was a democrat.
Some time ago c. c. Cochran of the
Great Falls Democratic Club wrote to
the Pittsburgh Post inquiring for the
truth about Mr.. Tricks politics. In
reply the editor of the Post sent the fol
lowing item. which he had printed in re-
Spouse to a host Of similar questions:
We have all the positive information ON this
point that the editor OF our esteemed Michigan
contemporary could want, and it is at his SER
vice. Mr.. Prick is and always has been a Iepub-
lican. What can the republican papers of the
northwest mean by stating that he is a democrat?
He is not a democrat. He is well known as a
supporter of the principles and policy of the re-
publican party, and it is understood that in the
campaign of 1883 he was a liberal contributor to
the republican campaign fund. The Post has
received a good many letters from various sec
tons of the country making exactly the same in
quiry that Mr.. Finn does. All of these letters,
with the exception Of this one, have been an

we have decided to reply to him in print, 50 that
