T. cents a pound to 80 per cent of the
value, is intended to shut this wool out
1t succeeds to such an extent that mill.
ions Of our people are today not as well
clad as the workers of Europe and have
not as comfortable clothes and bedding
for their homes and children. 1t suits
the purposes of the republicans to play
upon our credulity by denying this, but
the truth of it can be easily demon
strated.
The spirit Of the sheep men when made
acquainted with these figures was adj
mirably illustrated in Choteau county
the other day when a democratic orator
said to a meeting composed almost en-
tirely of men interested in sheep grow
ing: Are you willing as men, and as
American citizens, to say to your neigh
Dor, IL am willing to have these duties
on wool maintained in the hope of max
ing a larger profit myself even if you have
to go bare backed through the cold
winter"
This orator had shown them that the
price of wool is not materially effected
by the tariff. and proved to the satisfac-
ton of most Of them that their wool
would not be one cent lower if the duty
were taken OFT. The only effect of the
wool tariff is to shut out foreign woods,
which together with the cruel tariff on
wooden manufactures, places comfortable
wooden clothing beyond the reach of per-
son of small means.
The day is dawning when special
privileges will be allowed to no class in
this country. The rule of the democratic
party which will begin in March next in
every branch of the national government
will mean the rule of the people as
against the plutocrats who now hold
sway. 1t will mean the placing of ali the
people on an equal footing, and the final
overthrow of class privilege. no matter
where or in what form it exists today.

seventeen years of age. and had been in
exile for six years. Much against the
wish of his mother the young king mar
ried his cousin Mercedes, daughter of

lived i; few months. Reasons of state
rendered 1t imperative that the king
should marry again. and The choice of
his ministers fell upon the yuung Arch

Two great democratic meetings have
just taken place in the western part of
the state, one at Anaconda and the 9th
or at Butte. After referring to these,
and the superb prospects of "a sweeping
democrati; victory in Montana, the Butte
Miner says of the candidate for governor:
The fact that Mr.. Collins is now and
always has been the true friend of the
common people is SO well established as
to make the subject unbeatable.
His record as a miner, laborer, bust
ness man and public officer is a sufficient
guarantee hat if elected he will be
faithful to his trust. true to the people
upon whose toll depends the future of
the country; loyal to the principles of
genuine democracy and answering in
his devotion to honest government.
AS a member of the constitutional con
vention ne was the fearless and Consis-
tent friend of labor. He voted to pro-
hibit the employment of convict labor in
competition with honest toll. He voted
TO prevent the importation of armed
Pinkertons into the state of Montana.
in this respect his record is in striking
contrast with that of his opponent, who
stood on the side of the cOnYicts and the
Pinkertons as against the workingmen of
the state.
AS chairman of the committee on rev.
emu and taxation his reports were al
ways conservative, and in all cases he
opposed the placing of unjust or I'M
necessary burdens on the people. In
fact, MIR. Collins views on this most i'm
D~ortant subject have become d guide for
others and show that his administration
as governor will be economical as well as
honest.
Mr. Collins is one of the seif-made men
Of Montana. He is a product of the state
OF which every citizen should be proud.
His career is an eloquent tribute to Amer
lean institutions. His success is proof of
what "A laboring man can accomplish in
this glorious land of the free. and his
rise from the humble walks of toll to an
undisputed leadership in the state which
was his home as a miner and prOspector
is an inspiration to every man who earns
his bread by the sweat of his brow.
Vote for Il. r. Collins and insure an
honest. capable, public-splrited and pro-
gresslve administration of the affairs of
state.

Now the sheep men of the east are de-
handing the removal of the wool tariff
because they believe it to be a detriment
to their business. Even the wooden
manufacturers are willing to have the
duties taken off their go IDS on the con
dition Of foreign woods being admitted
free. There is a great awakening of the
American people all along the line. The

THE DAY OF RECKONING.

Ink IA house built on sand the repub-
lican party is doomed to destruction.
Because it succeeded as the exponent
OF American principles at a great epoch
OF the country's history and accom-
plished the mission which it undertook
its leaders were blinded by their success
and conceived a notion that anything
they attempted could be carried out.
They went from one extreme to an
other, intruding little by little upon the
rights of the people until their insidious
progress eliminated IN the Mckinley
bill. which was intended to erect a great
privileged class, and the force bill. an in
famous measure whi.h was meant to
centralize the federal power at Washing
ton and to placein its hands the
of depotism.
An immediate revolt against the force
bill proved to the republican leaders that
their whole scheme was understood. and
that nothing further could be lone with
that measure unless they could seize
anew the reins of government, and by
driving over the people rough shod
could force them into the helpless posi-
ton intended by that law. The election
of 1880 gave them foretaste of what
they might expect with regard to the
Mckinley bill. but as Mckinley was
elected governor Of Ohio they sought to
forget the lesson, and set out in this
campaign to raise ii corruption fund of
S2.OOO,OOO to ride into power over the
necks of the people with a banner of the
rObber tariff and another Of the forcs
bill as their emblems.
come more fully awake to the infamies
of the Mckinley tariff. they perceive
that it does not accomplish anything
that was promised for it, but that on the
other hand it has cramped every kind of
industry, placed the american manu-
facturers and the American
at a terrible disadvantage. and given no
benefits to the american producer in
any wise commensurate with the afllic-
tons lac must endure under the rule of
this law.
The revolt against the force bill is
shared in by every free man who loves
his liberty.
The revolt against the Mckinley law
is one which includes most of the people
who are paying the high taxes exacted.
and who have no share in the so-called
benefits that were granted with the in
tention of erecting a privileged class. and
by many of those who were expected to
because of the benefits they
derive and who now see that they
were deceived by false promises.
On the whole it amounts TO this: That
a lot of designing men representing a
political party which had gained pres
tige through the good deeds done by its
founders have been discovered in an at.
tempt to over throw the liberties of the
people and have been called down ia "A
manner which is un%mistakable. The
last emphasis of this call will be given at

discovery which was accidentally made
in the mountains northwest Of that town
few weeks ago. According TO the story

On each side Of an intervening valley

marks, being called the Twin peaks.
These mountains are several thousand
feet high and great distance above the
near range. Only on rare occasions have
these peaks been ascended and but little
was known Of their topography.
Some weeks ago party OF tourists de-
termined TO make the ascent and divided
into two parties, one for each peak They
took apparatus for signaling and expected
TO have pleasure and amusement by fash
ing the heliograph across the intervening
space to the mystification Of the people Of
the valley
The ascent was made, and while the
pc ople were making arrangements to sig
nal across one Of the party on the north
mountain was surprised to hear voices
that apparently came from the air. He
moved about and the sound was no longer
heard. BY changing his position several
times he discovered that at certain spot
on the mountain he could hear the voices
and it was not long before he found that
they proceeded from the party on the
other mountain.
He called the attention Of the others to
the phenomena, and then they attracted
the party on the south mountain and
found that an ordinary conversation in an
ordinary tone Of voice was plainly heard
from one mountain top to the other
There was only one place on each monii-
tain where it conld be heard and appeared
TO be natural telephone. No shouting
was necessary and the words were per-
fectly distinct.
