II exhibits as absolute extortion anv ex-

stance OF tho reop o beyond the necess

Tariff reform is still our purpose. We
wage no exterminating war against any
American interest. We believe TINT re-
adjustment can be accomplished With
out disaster or demolition. We believe
the advantages Of free raw material
should be accorded our manufacturers
and contemplate the careful disposition
Of tariff burdens rather than tho precip-
itation OF free trade"
Neither the democrats in convention
nor Mr.. Cleveland ever declared for free
trade. They demand only the ~readiust-
ment Of the tariff, as outlined in his let
ter. II they come into power they in
tend to carry out the promises made on
the great issue Of the year, which is
tariff reform. They propose to limit
tins sort OF taxation, as he says, to the
expenditures of the government and re-
move the evils of that system which has
been used for the selfish ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of the favored few monopolists at the
expense OF the great army Of burdened
producers and consumers. This is the
democratic position on the tariff. 1t
meets with the endorsement of every
democrat and it is plain and unmistakat
in its meaning. u

CHINESE DEFIANCE.

h Proclamation of tho Six Companies ia
the Celestiais In This Country.
Copies Of the proclamation OF the Chi
nese Six companies. composed of a syndi-
cate Of wealthy Cinnamon in San Fran
cisco. have been received in Helena. 1t is
an open defiance of the Geary law requir.
ing .C%hinamen to register. The Chinese
revolt against the law threatens serious re-
suits on the coast, and a prolonged contest
in the courts 10 about to begin. The proc
lamation is q remarkable document, ad-
dressed ITO all Chinese in the United
United States" and ia as follows:
We give you in this letter the Geary bill,
so-called, which is about Chinese register
ing. II is an unjust law and no Chinese
should obey it.
The law degrades the Chinese, and If
obeysd will put them lower than the mean
est of people.
We have got the law as we give it from
Mr.. Quinn, the man who is to enforce it in
San Francisco.
The law as he has given it to us is as the
white people made ii.
1t is u cruel law 1t is a bad law.
Read 1t and see how cruel the law is to
our people.
See how mean and contemplate it wants
to make the Chinese.
We do not want the Chinese to obey it,
We do not believe the Chinese will
obey it.
In making this law the people of the
United States have treated the sworn
treaties made with our country and our en-
peror with contempt.
They have ~disregarded our rights and
paid no attention to their promises. and
made a law to suit themselv es, no matter
how unjust to us.
No Chinese can read this law without a
feeling of disgust.
If any of our people think they are wiser
than We are and would obey the law. if they
would obey it for the sake Of making
money, let them stop. Do not dc it. You
will repent it if you do.
Many white men say this law ia not right.
and those who obey it are not wise. but
ignorant and foolish.
Let ua stand together.
We hope all will work with us and then
we can and will break this infamous law.
Let no white man fool you and tell YOU
the law IS different from what is here.
Again we warn you not to obey this law, |
1t is not right, it is not just. ~
We have given you the true law.
Signed, juno WAH Wal OuEN.
The six Companies.
The proclamation is supplemented with
appeal Tor protection to "Tien Tie-the
lord of our government and the Son of
Heaven for thousands of years."

Tins bit of interesting information is
found in the Denver News:
Montana is in a pitiable political condi-
ton. The Harrison managers have got the
democrats and populistH to fighting, while
the republicans will cast a solid vote for
Harrison and the continued demonstration
of silver.
The News should brush the dust from
it's eyes. The democrats in this state
ara harmonious and United in everyssec-
tion, and are determined to win a victory
for ex-President Cleveland and every
man on the ticket. The only pitiable
condition presented is in tho distress of
the demoralized enemy.

In reading a. Il. Clark's bear story my
mind reverts to my early boyhOod in pioneer
days. and in what | am to relate l am re-
minded of my early training and the teach
ings of my father. When we came into
Shiawassee county in .1s3s there was no
bridge over the river at Knagg's bridge, and
the tree mentioned by Mr.. Clark as the
scene OF his successful fishing ground is well
remembered. This was also prior to the
meeting of DR.. Parkill and bear at the
home of sick man, in room Sx10.
1T my memory serves me right it was in
the fall of al, father had quite number of
| pigs which he was to winter over to make
pork Of the following fall. The pig pen
was near tho woods; it was log one-in
fact we lived in a log house. had a log barn
and 1t was logs all around town. One night
| toward the last of November, about ten
o'clock, we heard cOmmotion in the pig
pen and one of the pigs sQuealcd and some
| thing took II off into the woods. Next night
another pig was gone and we found tracks
that looked like dogs. Father said it was
a wolf that took the pigs, and made up my
mind If the wolf came again l would see
what boy could do. Boys in those days
had good deal of courage. Well the next
night the wolf came again; this time he got
lily Dtt pig. AS SOOu do i utdiu tut HIE

light we had got down to Appolo Dewey's

was very tired-so was /. The wolf came
to very largo stump and jumped upon IL
