THE RESULT IN THE BALANCE.
Corruption Versus Honesty is the Issue,

The people of Montana have a YER
dict to render. A powerful, corrupt
and wealthy corporation is seeking by
subtle argument, corrupt means and
coercian TO extort from the electors
OF this state a verdict which would
for all time be a blot upon the fair
escutcheOu of this proud and honored
commonwealth. The bona fide resi-
dent citizens of this state should rem
der a verdict against the Anaconda
company without leaving the box, so
to speak; but fearing and anticipat-
ing such a result its management has
packed the jury by countless importa-
tions of hirelings brought hither to
do the bidding of Daily and his cohorts
and to nulIify the wealth, intelligence
and virtue of a large majority OF the
people of this state. This is no time
for good citizens to falter. An i'm
perative duty should force good men
to the front and by united effort
they should put themselves on record
against corruption, bribery, fraud
and coercion.

GOOD NEWS FROM EVERY QUARTER.

Public sentiment is fast crystaliz-
ing in favor of Helena, as Is evidenced
by the encouraging reports received
from every section of the state. The
fight has reduced itself to a moral
camgaign with the good citizens wag
ing relentless warfare against the
boodlers. The outcome of the con-
test is foregone conclusion. Right
and justice shall prevail and force of
righteous and enlightened public
opinion will completely annihilate
the mongrel horde couspiring to down
the moral element of this common
wealth. Let our people be on the
side of right and justice-let us join
the procession that is marching to
combat the leprous crew marshalled
to corrupt and debauch the admins.

be the outcome of the contest and the

THE NATIONS DEGRADATION.
Published TO the Nations Of the Worid o'
President Cleveland.


There never was Il time Ill the ms
tory of the United States when the chlet
magistrate of the nation has so low
cred the national standard as withih
the last 60 days. There have been many
incidents in our history where grave ac-
cusatiOns have been made against tlle
chief executive, but Grover Cleveland
has consummated the infamy by his lat-
est declarations. During the election
of 1892 u was claimed by the friends OF
President Gle reland that he was better
than his party. 1t was generally De-
lieved by the Republicans that there
might be some shadow Of truth Ill thls
claim, but the veil of deception has been
rent in twain. Cleveland is seen III ms
true character, and in order that the
world may understand this character he
has taken pains to assert that he Is no
better than his party, and by his ofiiclal
acts he has given the strongest PROOF OF
this charge
Congress has just passed the revenue
bill-a bill which, in its results, only
future events can describe, a bill ot
which he said in its passage, it was
"the production of trusts and other conf
binatiOns, "the communism of pelf,
"whose Vaccinations have prevented
us from reaching the success we de-
serve. " Now, to prove that he is no
better than his party, he allows this bill
to become law. This official act places
him in the rank and file of the Demo
cratic party, but he ISLANDERS the great
mass of the Democratic party, for the
ranks of his party are surely patriotic
and honest. They are country loving,
home loving, enterprising citizens. The
Democratic party must resent this insin.
uation against their honor.
It was said by one of our old states
men, "The degradation of nations
honor is the inevitable prelude to our
destruction. Grover Cleveland is pre-
pairing the way for the disintegration OF
his own nation The masses must rise
against this proclamation of the chief
executive and resent this degradation
and Danish him, with his followers,
from places of trust to which they have
been elected by the people.
There are good and true men who are
willing to serve the public. They can be
chosen. A great fraud has been perpe-
trated, and the president seems to glori-
fly himself in becoming an accessory to
the fraud. The Sugar trust, the Whisky
trust and all other combinations of pelf
must be set aside. The people will have
an opportunity within the next 60 days
to register their verdict. Let it be done
without question.

SECTIONAL LEGISLATION.
Effects of the New Tariff Law In the Va
rious States of the Union.

Effects of the New Tariff Law In the Va
rious States of the Union.
By the census of 1890 the manufac-
turing products of all the states in the
Union were S9,37O, 900, 900 in value.
OF this vast sum the entire south, in
cluding Maryland, produced by the same
census but 81, 202, 900, 900, or about IL
per cent, or one. eighth Of the whole.
This small fraction of our industrial
life dictates the industrial policy of the
whole nation. Eighty. eight per cent of
our manufacturing product and natural
resources and nine-tenrhs of the labor
ers employed were not consulted or even
considered in making up the tariff. New
York, whose manufacturing product
alone exceeds that of the entire south
by $500, 600, 600, was totally ignored
except as to single industry at Troy,
and the senior senator representing that
greatest manufacturing state in the
Union refused to submit it to the dicta-
tion of the south and voted against the
bill. Pennsylvania, too, whose manu-
featuring product is greater by $780,
900, 900 than that of the whole south to-
gether, had no voice in the framing of
a tariff law which was to effect home
and every days labor in the state. New
England also could only protest as it
witnessed the destructive cyclone sweep
ing over and against its industries. A
law thus made cannot permanently
stand. The majority must rule, and the
majority voice alone can write into pub.
lie law statute which will endure.

orr RACE INTERESTS LIE WITH THE RE-.
PUBLICAN PARTY.

The race interests of our people lie
in the hands of that political party
that is the synonym of progress. We
are duty bound as a matter of self
interest to affiliate with the party
that is best calculated to promote our
welfare and subserve our present and
future wants 1t is a cold-blooded
proposition with us as to which party
shall receive our votes. 1t is ques-
ton that should be divested entirely
of sentimentality. Therefore as
people we must look at things from
practical standpoint. 1t cannat be
denied that the republican party has
stood by us in every crisis that has
confronted us. We sincerely believe
that it is the only party that merits
our support under the existing condi-
tion of affairs, 1t must be distinctly
understood that our interests lie with
the republicans not because of good
done for us in the past, but because
of its promises for the future, its pro-
gressive tendencies and the utter rot
tenness and unrelsability of the other
parties. The colored mans interests
are safest in the keeping of the re-
publican party and he is keen enough
ia know it and there is where he will
be found.

Running In Debt.
Langdon, ID. G.

The Democratic president and Demo
cratic congress have been running the
government for s months, during which
time little else has been running. In
dustry has been practically stopped.
Labor has found little employment, and
when employed it has been at greatly
reduced wages. Both government and
people have been draining their reserves,
and both have been running in debt.
The government has suffered in its reve-
nues and the people in their incomes.
The total losses to the country in bust
ness, property and wages are beyond
human calculation. There has been no
cessation in the waste Of wealth and
wages. No contentment, brightness or
hope has anywhere appeared. Discon-
tent and distress have been universal
The appeals to charity have never beeB
SO numerous and incessant, nor their
necessity everywhere SO manifest

Politically they should be wary of
men who preach prescription in what

PRESCRIPTION.

Prescription, whether on account
of race, color, religion or whatnot is
un-American. Itspropagation should
not be fostered, and where it exists
at all should be stamped out as would
be an epidemic. Men who go hither
and thither prating about drawing
proscriptive lines on this or that one
are public enemies to society and
should have quietus put upon their

The United States Treasury is
fast nearing a point when it will
be face to face with a great crisis.
Democratic imbecility, reckless.
ness and hostility to American
industry have deranged the
finances as well as paralyzed the
industries of the nation. Gold
is going out of the country at a
threatening and unexpected rate.
Several millions in gold were
shipped on the steamers which
left New York on Saturday and
the treasury reserve is now about
S4s, 600, 900, or less than half
what it ought to be, and "a. 600,
600 below the amount in Feb.

ated its new loan of $4,000, 900.
