with the declaration that 1.-The repre-

OF his successors in Democratic leader

Madison reported the first tariff bill
ever passed at the first session OF con-

one that will afford him the quickest and
best service. Before starting ON IA trip to
chicago or any point east, you should pro-
vide yourself with "a map and time tables
of the Wisconsin ceutral lines. The trains
run on this route are Vrstibuled and are

lection does not exist in them. This
Indispensable power must be within
the authority OF congress. In this
opinion | am confirmed as well by the
opinions of Presidents Washington,
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, who
have each repeatedly recommended
the exercise OF this right under the
constitution, as by the uniform prac-
tice OF congress, the continued acqui-
escence OF the states and the general
understanding of the people," ''Old
Hickory" evidently believed in a pro-
tective tariff.
These expressions OF a belief in a
protective tariff by the fathers of the
Democracy leave no doubt as to
where they stood. Modern Democ-
racy has wandered from the faith OF
the fathers.

The shoddy Lie.
lRivei. Press.

IlIvef 1reSs.l
The free trade press seems to have
already abandoned any p~re;-nse oi
conducting campaign OF educa-
tion," and is again resorting % the
same political weapons OF ~prevarica-
ton and deception as did such effec-
tive service two years age. The Great
Falls Tribune recently set the ball roll
ing with the statement that American
wooden mills used 100, OOO,O OOpounds
ofshoddy annually. This was an ex-
ageeration OF Official statistics to the
extent of sixty per cent; but our con-
temporary has since become even
| more reckless in its shoddy statement.
it's latest estimate giving la, 900, 600
| pounds as the amount used annually
in American mills.
This shoidy lie exposes itself; its
creators overdid the business. Reck-
oning two pounds Of raw wool to he
! displaced by II pound ofshoddy, the
Tribune's estimate would dispose OF
over 100000, 600 pounds of wool,
| equivalent to about one-half the con
sunIptive demands of the American
people.
This shoddy lie doesn't even possess
the merit OF plausibIlIty. Nearly
every reader OF current literature
knows that the American people need
about 600 ,OOO,O 900 pounds of wool
annually, and of this amount Ameri-
can sheep last year yielded 3O7 ,0OO,-

II recognized authority. Last year we
also imported, in round numbers,
about 10000, 600 pounds of wool III
the raw state and we also imported
$4l 600, 900 worth OF WOO len goods
the same year. The trade basis for
estimating the quantity OF wool in
manufactured goods is three pounds
of wool to the dollar in value; hence
we have 1881 OO, 900 pounds oil wool
imported in the form ofgoods. Briefly
summarized, then, our wool supply
last year was a. follows:

With a consumptive demand OF
SOC, OOO, 900 pounds, and $4,000
900 pounds OF that plainly traceable,
the Great Falls Tribune will doubtless
decline to explain what is done with
it's $4,000, 900 pounds OF shoddy,
representing 30s, 600, 900 pounds OF
