old comrades who have preceded him IA

For many years Mr.. Taylor has bee,
a prominent figure in the business and
political circles in this state. In his p
latiobs with men in each he SUSTAINED
an untarnished reputation. Though
earnest and decided in his conyictio,
and Outspokcn in his sentiments, p,
earned and preserved the respect and q.
TEEN OF all with whom he came in con
tact, for he was honest in all. No man i,
the state counted more friends in tho
state; no one had warmer ones. In biz
death Montana has lost one of her old,

his neighbors, a public spirited citiuI
and kind friend, and his sons most

GAS FOR SM ELTING.

That was a very important discovery
made by the Boston & Montana com
pany at their works in this city during
the past few days. The very narrow
margin for profits which the low price OF
copper gives to copper miners makes any
material reduction in the cost of reduc-
ing copper ores a matter of much i'm
p%ortance to those engaged in the produc-
ton of the metal. This reduction is
found in the smelling of ores with cheap
gas. The company has been experiment
ing with different Goals for the purpose
of ascertaining which will produce the
largest quantity of this gas at the lowest
cost. Contrary to all previously formed
calculations it was found in coal screen
ings or waste. Herein lies the impor-
lance Of the discovery.
therefore, these screenings have been
sold at a nominal price or used to fill up
low places around the works at the
mines OF to ballast the railroads running
to them. They serve an excellent pur-
pose at Lethbridge and Sand Coulee in
this latter work. The fact being dem
onstratcd that screenings will make gas
in sufficient quantities to smelt ores will
not only turn the direction of their en-
ploymcnt, but it will revolutionize cop
per ore smelling in Great Fails.
it is commended by some that by the
employment of gas for smelling purposes
tie cost Of producing pure copper from
crude ores will be reduced at least two
cents per pound. This estimate may be
too high, but for an illustration we will
say n cent per pound. This is a big

Poorer Goods and Higher Prices.

Mr.. Whiting, II congressman from
Michigan and one Of the members Of the
committee Of ways and means of the
house of representatives, has an interest
in a large mercantile firm in st. Clair,
| Mich. Being in the business he ought
tn know what effect the Mckinley tariff
has had upon prices. When he was
asked, on his return to Washington
from New York, where he had been
buying goods, what effect the high duties
have had upon prices, he said:
The importers Of New York are pro-
testing with N voice against a policy Of
| the custom house. which is now to exact
the highest possible rates of duty and to
treat all importers AS dishonest and guilty
of differentiation. have no doubt that
| the moving cause is the fact that money
is needed to III an empty treasury. but
the people must pay the bills. The high
tariff now being collected encourages
American manufacturers to support the
Republican ticket with large contribu-
tions, and | have no doubt the admins
tration knows what it is about.
The claim that goods have not been
made higher by the Mckinley law | am
able to deny with emphasis after "a
practical experience Of several days in
purchasing all classes of impOrtatiOns,
as well as home goods. In many cases
the quality Of goods is degraded in or

cases expensive goods are dropped from
the counters Of the wholesale houses,
and cheaper articles are substituted and
introduced as a 'change of style" 1t ia

consumer think he is paying no more for

NOW FOR WORK,

The action Of the state democratic cen
trail committee in providing for two state
conventions instead of one may become
a subject of adverse criticism among
many, while probably as many others
will indorse it. Extra time, labor, and
expense must necessarily be expended
by the delegates to these two conven-
tons, but if they can stand it the party
can enter no objections upon that score
Delegates to be selected will understand
that they must not only meet at Boze-
nan to elect delegates to the Chicago
convention, but they will also be re-
quired to come to Great Falls to nomi
nate a full state ticket. 1t may be pref
ty hard upon them, but that is the way
the committee has ordered it and thost
who think they are not able to stand to
be thus double-shotted can decline the
nomination at their several conventions
But the meeting Of the committee re
minds democrats of the fact that it il
now time for work. The old saying that:
"ln time of peace prepare for war" hold
just as good in politics as in the gov.
eminent of nations. The party or party
newspaper that will not fight for it's po-
litical principles until the battle is forced
upon it gets the worst Of it every time.
This is to be a campaign of education,
and as men are not SO much disposed to
listen to reason during the heat of an
exciting campaign as they are before the
fray b.gin, it stands to reason that the
time is fully ripe for the educational pro
cess to commence.
The tariff and the silver questions will
be the principal issues in the ensuing
campaign. But how many voters are
there in the country who can make a
clean, cold cut. truthful presentation Of
the effects of a high or low tariff upon
the industries of the people and upon
the finances Of the nation: And how
many in Montana can properly measure
the chances which silver would have for
free coinage in tho event of the election
of a democratic or republican president?
This matter is not thus referred to under
the belief that the masses of the people
are not intelligent enough to understand
the workings OF the tariff, but because
they are prone to be Indifferent about it
and more inclined to take the word of
blatant men and newspapers concerning
it than to study the matter out for them
selves. 1t takes time to do this and
therefore the TRIBUNE suggests that ac-
tive work be outlined at once. The
members Of the several democratic clubs
throughout the state may do much to
advance the cause of their party
by a systematic course of recruit
ing their organization and by dissemin-
ating democratic literature among their
neighbors.
With the masses properly educated
there can be no fear Of the result. When
men learn that they are being daily rob-
bed by a robber tariff and that from
One-fifth to one-third OF their labor or
wages is given over to the enrichment of
great trusts aud manufacturing monopo
lies. they will no longer vote to continue
the robbery. Work and educate; cdu-
cate and work.
