people employed, the decline amounting
in wages to eG,7sO,OOO, and in the de-
crease of people employed in them to
5,01S. In the manufacturing of cotton
goods the average wages IN 1870 were
S2S1, in 1880 1924, a decrease Of 5G3. In
the hat and cap trade wages fell in
the same time from SAG to si13, a de-
crease of 1913 per hand, and in the iron
and steel industry from 5525 to 1870,
showing a decrease OF 500 per employee.
In like manner the absurdity Of other
figures given by Mr.. Peck might be
shown, but we do not deem it profitable
to enter into long discussions of 80 dry a
topic. The country can be saved with
out t.because the people are fully alive
to the absurdity of republican preten-
sions, and have their hearts set upon
tariff reform, which when brought about
will put an end to all the sophistries of
all the Pecks.

WHAT IS.

A great deal can often be learned OF a
man from his opponents. Perhaps the
best summing up that was ever made OF
Mr.. Cleveland's character was that by
Chauncey NJ. Depew, the noted republi-
can orator, when introducing him at a
great New York banquet in 1890. On
that occasion Mr.. Depew said:
If | am to name the typical American,
the man who loves and believes in his
country beyond everything else, the man
who, determining once in what direction
his duty leads, cannot be swerved from
the path-the man who is doggedly per-
sistent in what he believes to be right
the man who thinks not of self, but of
his country and its needs, l would name
Grover Cleveland. What he accom-
plished is the very highest attribute to
the possibilities OF American citizenship.
A country lawyer in the city OF But
falo, he shed lustre upon the high
profession which he had chosen. AS
mayor of his native city he presented as
his record a clean n economical ad-
ministration. Coming into the highest
position in the land without previous
and without scarcely a pre-
cedent to guide him in the conditions
that surround him. he won the affection
of his party and commanded the respect
and admiration of his opponents. | find
in one of the p%roudest positions
of my life in being permitted to present
to you Grover Cleveland as the typical
American.
In the teeth Of the villainous detrac-
ton and misrepresentation of the re-
publican press this from their chief
thinker is a knock-down blow. None
but the partisan friends of Mr.. Harrison
has ever spoken Of him in such terms.anG
in nothing that concerns the present and
eternal welfare of the United States can
the grandson of a former president hold
a candle to the son of the humble New
Jersey preacher.

THE PEOPLES CANDID ATE.
From the Anaconda Standard:

From the Anaconda Standard
The ticket nominated at Great Falls
yesterday commands the most thorough
admiration and inspires the utmost con
iidencc. In choosing Timothy r. Collins
as their candidate for governor the dem
ocrats of Montana have named a man
who will fill the executive chair with
conspicuous ability, justice, dignity and
honor. Mr.. Collins is Il man of the PEG
pie, they know him, they like him and
they will elect him. Taking no account
of the weakness Of his opponent, Mr..
Collins under any circumstances and at
any time could have anything within the
gift of the voters Of this state. Ills elcc
ton on November 3 is AS sure as that
eventful day is to be Illuminated by the
sun.
From the Bate Miner.
- AS to the g~overnorship it can be said
that the nomination is more than filing
ly bestowed. Mr.. Collins is a mar of
more than ordinary breadth of mind
and one who in his commercial success
has well proven his executive ability. lie
has been long identified with the pro-
gress and development Of Montana and
is heart and soul devoted to the interests
of the state. lie is known from one end
Of the state to the other and wherevre
he is known his name is the synonym of
rugged courage and rigid regard for
principle. In the gubernatorial chair
Mr.. Collins will be the governor for no
clique OF fraction, for no party or sect,
but for the whole people.
From the Helena Independent:
The nomination of Hon. Timothy r..
Collins for governor was made by accla-
nation. 1t was the fortunate result Of
careful though not factional delibera-
tiOns and suggests to the nominee the
highest compliment within the gift of
Montana democrats, that of the best
and strongest leadership to be offered.
Mr.. Collins fully deserves this recogni-
ton. He is, first OF all, a Montanian. He
has given the best of his talents to the
upbuilding OF this young commonwealth:
his voice has been raised in her behalf and
his services have been at command when
ever needed. He has been u trusted
Office holder, a moulder OF the principles
OF statehood whose opinions were held
with the highest, always a leading citI-
zen whose personal and public character
is without the tinge of reproach. With
the accumulation OF a large ana honest
ly earned fortune. with the business rec
ignition carried with the presidency Of
a great banking institution he has never
forgotted the duties of a citizen and as a
reward for these duties he is called to
lead the democratic party to battle in
this state. He will win with the people,
az he has won in business, because, he is
worthy and can be trusted at all times.
He has the characteristics which ap-
peal to all Montanians. lie possesses a
rugged manhood that knows neither the
fear OF right o favor for personal ends,
and he has the brains and broad views
Of conditions demanded by the people of
this state among the necessary equip
ments for their chief executive. lie will
J win because he is deserving.

PECK'S CRUDiTIES.

When Labor Commissioners Peck of
New York set out to write his report
Of the effect of the tariff upon labor and
wages which has excited 50 much com.
ment in the east as IA boomerang to the
republican party, he made this observa
ton without knowing, apparently, that
it exactly described his own case.
SIT has been my experience, as l doubt
not it has been that of every statistician,
more or less, that one often finds him
self tempted-unconsciously, perhaps
to pursue an investigation with a view
to establish a preconceived theory. How
often failure and positive discontinue
follow ! can safely leave to those who
have engaged in the fascinating study of
statistics"
Now, Mr.. Peck's own figures show a
net increase in wages in the state of New
York for 1891 over 1890 of SG,377,925, and
in products during the same period of
531,3lJ,l 100. That Mr.. Peck was writing
for political effect and in IA partisan
spirit is shown by the fact that he left
Jul tOtloI' WoDlcIS, anu otHcT tchlllcS,
iron and steel and other products of la
Dor, From trustworthy sources it has
been shown by an eminent statistician,
Mr.. j. Schocnhof, that the decline of
products from these highly protected
Industries IN the decade from 1870
to 1880 amounted to S33yOOO,-
600, the figures for 1870 be-
ing SS9,OO0,OOO, and, in 1880,
S%JG,000,O0O. While New York state had
contributed IL per cent of the total pro
ducts of the United States in these in
dustries in lS7Oper percentage lad fallen
to s per cent in 1880. The census returns
themselves show that in the industries

The real .Asiatic cholera has got
ashore in New York city and a veritable
panic exists there, according to the latest
Geographic accounts. Hopes are enter
tanned by many that the coming Of cold
weather will stop the progress of the
scourge, but on this point the Cincin-
natl Enquirer says: writers who fancy
that the cholera suspends action at the
first breath of sharp frost-and there
seems to be many such-probably con-
found that disease with yellow fever.
The latter is absolutely frozen out, but
the former is not. Cold checks its prog
ress, but does not kill its germs. When
ever cholera has obtained foothold upon
this continent it has taken two or three
years to wholly drive it out. And yet,
during those years,iwe had our winters
as usual" 1t is not likely, however, that
the disease will gain a sufficient footing
to become epidemic in this country.

LEAD AND THE TARIFF,

AS it is the evident purpose of the
republicans in Montana to use the tariff
on lead as ar argument in the state cam
paign, the TRIBUNE will take the trouble
at this time to point out the utter ab
surdity of the claims made by the
republicans on this subject.
We have already shown that there can
be no competition between the peon
labor Of Mexico and that of the mining
regions of the United States even if lead
were admitted free or a premium paid
upon it, for the reason that it costs Mex
lean mine more to produce one
ton of lead than 1t does the American
mine owner to produce two tons, the
publishing arguments Of the republican
press to the contrary Notwithstanding.
We also assert:
l. That for twenty years, excepting
three, with no tariff upon Mexican sill
YER ores until 1890, when the Mckinley
act fixed a duty of IL cents per pound
upon the lead in them, the New York
price for lead was higher than it was for
the last year, or is now, with the ~ cent
duty imposed.
.. That during the three years in
which lead was lower than now, excep-
tional conditions existed which are liable
at any time to return, and that the alb
sence of the lead tariff was not the de
pressing causes during such periods.
3. That for at least four months in
1890, Immediately before the imposition
of the Mckinley tariff (Oct. 6, 1890, the
price for lead was higher than it has
been at any time since.
4. That the total lead product of the
United States for 1890 was 10000 tons,
while the importation from Mexico did
not exceed lS,OOO-an amount too small
to appreciably affect the price of lead.
If these points are not sufficient to
convince any person of common sense.
that the tariff on lead does not regulate
it's price, the TRIBUNE will agree to furn-
ish several other facts quite as striking.
Lead ores are needed now and all the
time for the smelters of Montana, as
well as for those of the great smelling
centers on the Missouri river and else
where. 1t would be an advantage to
the mining industry as well AS to the
smelters if all these ores were admitted
free, because the duty upon them is
added to the price of smelling other
ores. For the republican party to claim
the opposite is as absurd as to claim
that black is white or that night is day.

is Vermont the normal republican
majority was reduced by 5000 in the
election the other day, and in Maine on
Monday it took a tumble of nearly 1900
votes. Mr.. Manley, the chairman Of the
republican state committee, foresaw the
cyclone. and said some time ago:
1T must be remembered that this
year they (the democrats) have the best
organization they have had in Maine in
years. They have, since the election of
1890, thoroughly organized every voting
precinct in the state. They have been
supplied with funds and are using
every means known to the art Of po-
litical warfare to poll a large vote. They
have ignored the national contest and
appealed to petty, selfish, and local is
sues. We vote for the first time under
the Australian ballot law, which applies
to every city, town. and plantation, and
the effect will be to reduce the total vote
thrown. thus reducing the republican
majority.
These are straws which show the way
the wind blows. Such reductions in the
strongholds Of %prohibitory tariff ideas
will mean absolute elimination Of the
republican party in many states they
have been claiming as sure.
