1t is Exceedingly Lnll ut Present In B,th
Countries.
The New York Engineering and Min
ing Journal in its latest issue, August 4,
says of the copper market: The market
is ~life'ess, as both producers and con-
sumers are averse to doing anything,
pending settlement Of the tariff ques-
ton. the former claiming that they can
lose nothing by waiting, while the latter
contend that until something definite is
done they will not be justified in making
additional engagements. Although no
sales have been made at lower figures, 30
far as known. prices are not as firm as
they were, as some OF the producers
seem a little more willing to accept a
slight cut. We quote Lake at 9M91a,
Electrolytic at SM@SH and Casting at
$685..
Abroad, speculation has CAUSED an i'm.
provement in prices OF e.. M. BIS, which
opened Monday at f38 5s. for spot and
f'S lbs. Cd. for futures and close today
at LBS lbs. Cd. and f39 respectively.
There has Deen no corresponding i'm
provement in the market FOR the finer
grades, but rather the contrary, rs it Ia
stated that such have not only been
offered, but actually sold at prices lower
than were ever before known, and this

followed the English system Of finance.
He urged that we cut loose from the sys-
tenn and adopt a policy Of our own.
Mr., Smith advocated the passage Of
the income tax clause of the tariff bill
and gave his reasons at some length, and
speaking OF the objection that 1t was
inauisitorial he said il he had his way
he would make it 80 inquisitorial that
the man who answered falsely once
would never get from behind the prison
bars to answer falsely a second time.
The anti-immigration clause, the postal
savings bank, the government ownership
Of railroads, telegraph and telephones
were referred to and approved. Speak.
ing of the railroads he said that the
time had come when the country must
own the railroads or the railroads
would own the governments. This
was not a new question for
many OF the governments own a portion
at least Of the lines, and though the
rates are cheap they are q source Of reve.

vote to foreclose the mortgages on the
Union Pacific and the Central Pacific al
once and let the government run them
for awhile. II the government would
take charge of all the roads at their cost
value and charge the rates that are now
being charged the roads would pay fol
themselves in fourteen years. In con-
clusion he thanked the audience and ex
pressed hope for the party's success in
November.
After the baud had rendered an all
three cheers we're given for the populist
party and the meeting adjourned.

Engage i'm Footing Honest Farmers In
Indiana.
ELwooD, Ind, Aug. IA new swind-
ling scheme is being worked on the un-
suspecting farmers by some slick per-
sons, as follows: Stopping at a farm
house that is insured, the swindlers
represent that they are special agents
around inspecting risks and SO get the
mans of the company the house is insur-
ed in. A few days later they return
with a typewriter statement to the ef-
feet that the company has failed and
that they are empowered with authority
to transfer the policy to another com
pany. The farmer is prevailed upon to
sign what he supposes to be a transfer,
but which proves to be a promissory
note for ii sum ranging from $40 to a
800. The swindlers are reaping a rich
harvest and rarely fail to work their
game.

and Platform.
List OF tho Successful Candidates for
the Nomination for County
Officers.
The Dark Lantern Methods Adopted
by the Convention Not Regarded
FavOrably.

The populist convention OF Cascade
county assembled at the court house
Tuesday afternoon at . O'CLOCK to put
in nomination a full county and legisla,
tive ticket. Before the hour arrive the
court house was packed with delegates
and spectators. Among the latter class
we're many well-known local politicians
who appeared to take a lively interest in
the proceedings. AS the clock marked
the hour Of Dds, Dan Mckay, the father
of the peoples party in this city, rose to
his feet and called the meeting to order
o. NJ. Holmes, secretary of the central
committee, read the call under which
the convention met.
Then Chairman Mckay addressed the
convention in an earnest speech which
was greeted with great applause. He
spoks in part as follows:
1.-THE peoples party owes no debt to
any individual and personal ambition
must be set aside il the party would
win. The office in this new party should
seek the man and not the man seek the
Office. The man who comes before this
convention asking a nomination for any
office at it's hands is a man who ought
to be defeated, for that fact is evidence
that the ways of the old political parties
cling to him and that he is not true to
populist principles. While l feel sure
that no states have been prepared for this
convention, yet it is the duty OF the
convention to smash any that shows
itself. l hope and trust your nomina-
tions here today will consist of true
populists, men, just as willing
to carry the banner Of the
party in defeat as in success. l have
heard talks of fusion or endorsement.
Let me tell you il you will only put up
none but true men and men fitted for
the Office for which they are named you
will need no endorsements, for the peo-
pie will endorse you at the polls. Gen
tlemen, nominations for chairman are in
order"
Samuel Moore of Sand Coulee, T. W.
Broenan and o. NJ. Holmes we're nomi
mated, but the two latter declined the
honor and Mr.. Moore was nominated
unanimously.
For secretary, o. M. Holmes was unani,
mously chosen.

We believe that the county commits
sioners and county attorney Of Cascade
county should have long since instituted
suit or taken some mean to collect from
the county treasurer the money tied up
in the Merchants National bank of this
city and the money should be paid over
by the county treasurer to it's proper
funds. We call the attention Of the tax
payers Of Cascade county, Mont, to the
fact that Cascade county is the third
county in the state in taxa.
BILE property and in the short
period Of it's existence 1t has incurred q
large and enormous indebtedness,
amounting to several hundred thousand
dollars, and its Indebtedness 10 such at
the present time as to cause great un.
e~asinees among property owners and tax
payers Of this county, and we believe
that with reasonable and fair financial
management OF u financial affairs that
our taxes in 1893 could have been re.
duced at least $4,000, and we earnestly
invite all citizens and taxpayers Of all
political parties who believe In reform In
county affairs to join us in i~naugurating
a system Of reform In this county. We
believe the prosperity OF ou county
and city depend upon the rate OF
taxation and IL we would invite new

| Ten Thousand Men Estimated to BE Out.
Men Who Wish to Work Are Driven
Away With Clubs and Pistols.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, April 3.-The storm
has broken, and the scenes of 1891 are
being repeated throughout the coke
regions. The big coke strike is now on in
full force.
The ranks of the strikers have been re-
inforced, and the lowest estimates give
them 10000 men. From the outset the
strike has been turbulent, with tendency
to open defiance of the law. There was
rioting in several quarters Sunday night.
1t has grown steadily worse, and yester-
day there were more serious outbreaks in
this end of the field.
The men of the Oliver works went out,
leaving 1900 tons of coke burning up in
the ovens. The company, to save the
property, attempted to put some men to
work drawing the coke, when the strikers
made ferocious attack on them with
stones and clubs, driving them from the
grounds In the melee several men were
badly hurt. The Oliver people have tele-
graphed the deputies, and the works will
be guarded hereafter. Their coke will be
drawn under protection of the sheriff.
The greatest outbreak was at the fa-
nous Hill Farm mines, near here. About
400 foreigners from Morrell g. Wheeler's,
of the Cambria Iron company, armed
themselves with guns, revolvers and
clubs, and started out to drive the men
from the neighboring plants. They first
visited the Humphrey works, and finding
the men at work, drove them away under
the muzzles of pistols.
One workman chose to stand at his
post. He was given one minute to leave
by Hungarian who covered him with
revolver. After driving the workmen
away, they continued their march to An
chor, where the workmen offered no op-
position and Immediately left the works.
The next engagement was at Hill farm.
The men were quietly at work when the
mob Of infuriated strikers ponnced down
upon them, ordering them to leave at
once. Some alterations followed, when
the rioters enforced their demands by an
attack, in which half dozen workmen
were seriously injured.
