McKinIey's Letter of Acceptance.


In the national republican platform the
/ chief place Is given 20 the tariff ques-
ton. in Mr.. NcKinley's letter Of accept
ance the position Of honor Is given 10
the silver question. No better evidence
is needed that Mr. Mckinley az last ad-
mits that the silver issue j. the leading.
II not the only issue OF the campaign.
Doubts have existed as 10 Nr. McKin-
ley's position on the silver question His
letter leaves no room for doubt. he is
against free silver coinage az the ratio
OF Is 10 7 without an international agree
ment.
The care he takes in stating what free
silver coinage is shows he realizes the
importance OF tho silver issue IN the cam
paIgn. II must be conceded that from his
standpoint his statement is an admirable
one. II is so clear and simple that no
one can misunderstood 81. Il is a state
ment that amounts 10 an argument
against free coinage. II there are those
who are In doubt as to what free silver
coinage is it will assist them greatly in
getting rid OF the doubt.
II Mr. Mckinley had confined himself to
the monetary question his letter would be
very good campaign document But it
was not to be expected that he would
forego the opportunity 10 discuss the doc
trine Of protection. He refuses TO believe
that the people are not at this time inter-
ested in that doctrine and he devotes
large part Of his letter to telling them that
the credit Of the Government is denand-
ent upon a protective tariff This part Of
his letter IS rather hazy Surely II the
tariff is raised high enough TO give manu-
facturers the protection that Mr.. Mckinley
demands for them the volume Of imports
would be very small. and If we imported
but little the revenue from imports could
not be very great. And yet Mr.. McKil-
ley demands a higher tariff for the pur-
pose of raising more revenue. in order to
protect the credit of the government The
only way to raise more revenue from I'M
ports is to adopt a revenue tariff. and
not a prohibitive protective tariff. or put
a higher tariff upon articles We do not
produce. or cannot produce in sufficient
quantities to supply our wants.
A fault of the letter is that 1t is too
long. If it were only half as long it would
be more effective. Mr.. Bryan's speech at
the Chicago convention was a great sue
cess. 1t won him the nomination. It was
short. His Madison Square Garden speech.
in response to the official notification of
his nomination was long. and it failed to
make much of an impression.

Southern IRON shipments.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem)

The shipment of 800 tons of Alabama
pig iron to Genoa, Italy. is only the pre-
Jude to much larger export trade with
Southern Europe in that great staple. A
prominent Alabama ironmaster is author
ity of the statement that his product.
even after the freight has been deducted,
brings a better price in Europe than in
America. This being the case, there need
be no fear Of a glut in the home marke.
for some time, at least. In fact, the
steadily increasing favor which our south
ern iron is earning even in England would
seem to assure its permanent hold in the
European market.

From the Augusta Chronicle Dem).
There will not be a single southern state
missing when the count is made in No
vember. The south will be solid for de-
mocracy. Fuslons with popuHsts cannot
secure victory for republicans, and we
have little respect for the sincerity Of
any populists who are ready to fuse with
gold standard republicans.

A cable dispatch says English society
is just now agitated by the question, who
shall clean the bicycle? 1t is permissible
for a gentleman to clean and polish his
own shotgun, but may he with propriety
clean his own wheel? 1t is clearly not in
the line Of the coachman's duty to clean
the wheel, nor could one expect a valet
to perform such service. 1t would appear
that the only solution of this momentous
problem would be for the gentleman to
hire a groom for the wheel.

The outcome of the South Carolina pri-
maries should stimulate the courage of
the old line democracy of that state. 1t
indicates that the power of the Tillman
oligarchy is on the wane. The people are
waking up to the fact that they have been
bamboozled by a ring of self-seeking poll
ticians, who have not only failed to keep
their promise to reduce taxes, but have
rather made them more ourdensome, and
at the same time have created numerous
new Offices and built up a gigantic politi-
cal machine calculated to perpetuate the
ring in power With long pull. strong
pun and pull all together. the democrats
may before long succeed in placing their
politics back upon the high plane from
which it has been pulled down by Tillman
and his hangers-on.-

nm sim silent.

What Mr.. Bryan said to Senator Hin, or
what Senator Hill said to Mr.. Bryan, on
the occasion of the latter's visit to the
former on Tuesday, is unknown to the pub
lie. It is not even known that they dis
cussed politics. When it was known that
Senator Hill had invited Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan to dine with him there was a vast
amount of speculation as to the meaning
of the invitation. 1t was suspected by
many that it was step on the part of the
senator to an announcement of a purpose
TO support the regular democratic ticket.
though it was given out by Senator HIS
spokesman that it was only an act of cour-
tesy to the democratic presidential candi-
date. There is as much curiosity now to
know what effect the visit will have on
Senator Hills future political course as
there was to know the object Senator Hill
had in view when he invited Mr.. Bryan to
visit him.
The suggestion has been thrown out that
Senator Hill wanted to know whether Mr..
Bryan intends to accept the populist nomi-
nation in the event he is formally notified
of it. The statement is made that
Senator Hill thinks it would be
mistake for him to do so. There may not
be, however, any basis for this suggestion.
The chances are that Senator Hin did not
mention the populist nomination to Mr..
Bryan. If he wanted information in res
pect to what Mr.. Bryan intends to do in
the matter of the populist nomination he
would have sought it. in all probability,
from Senator Jones. the chairman of the
national democratic committee and the
manager of the campaign.
! Still. 1t is difhcult to believe that sena-
tor Hill had not political object in view
in inviting Mr.. Bryan to visit him. What
that object was, if any, will be disclosed
probably at the convention of the New
| York democracy in Buffalo, next month.
Until then the public 1t is safe to say will
have to hold its curiosity in check as to
whether Mr.. Bryan and Senator Hin have
| reached an understanding which insures
to the former the support of the latter in
the campaign.

It would probably be just as well for
Mr.. Bryan TO quit quoting from the Bible
until he has become a little more fami-
liar with it. For instance. the Bible does
not say that wise men come from the
east" as Mr.. Bryan said at Winnisook
Lodge. 1t says wise men came from the
east" at the time of the birth of Christ
The difference is very wide. and his enc
mics viii be sure 10 make the point
against him that he misquotes the scrip
lures.

The Augusta Chronicle is very much
exercised about that interview of Sena-
tor Bacon's a few days ago. in which, it
it reported. he said it frequently oc-
CURED that silver advocates were GUITAR
gued by gold bugs. With regard to this
the Chronicle says: If Senator Bacon
cannot send out to the public any bet
ter or more encouraging statements about
the candition Of the campaign he had bet
ter keep silent" 1t seems to US that our
contemporary is unnecessarily impatient.
The senator explained his remark. by say
ing the reason the gold advocates were
able to put up a better argument was
that they were better supplied with liter
AZURE, and the effect of the interview will
be the acceleration of the distribution of
silver literature. From the Chronicles
own standpoint, therefore. the effect viii
be good. 1t is hard to see why Senator
Bacon should be told to keep his mouth
shut when he sees a weak point in the
campaign that might be strengthened,
and perhaps, also the stronger argument
is on the gold side.

TaIIging BimetaIIIsm.

Mr.. Hanna, the manager of the republi-
can campaign. in an interview with a
New York Herald representative in Bos-
ton the other day. talked about bimetal-
lism in way that is rather alarming to
the advocates of the gold standard. He
said that it is the purpose of the republi-
cans to show to the people of the west
that the republican party has never been
hostile to silver that it does not intend
that the democrats shall get all the credit
in the west as the friends of silver, and
that the tendency of scientific thought
is in the direction of bimetallism. Mr..
Hanna also said that the republican farm
ers of the west are in favor of bimetal-
lism almost to man.
From the foregoing it is evident that
the republicans are going to be more lib
eral in their attitude toward silver in the
west than in the east. They are going
to try to hold on to those of their mem
bers who are inclined toward silver by
promising that the republican party will
do what is fair in its treatment of silver
IL it is given control of the government.
The truth Is. Mr.. Hanna is very much
alarmed by the strength of the silver
sentiment in the west. In fact. he said,
in the interview with the Herald repre-
sentative, that the republican party has
"a hard fight on its hands,
But does he strengthen the republican
cause by intimating that the republican
party is not hostile to silver. and that
the people of the west will be made to
understand it is not? Does he not, by the
position he takes. strengthen the position
occupied by the democratic party? 1t is
true that the republican party declares
for bimetallism by international agree
ment The democratic party, however,
has no objection to such an agreement. 1t
would welcome such an agreement, but
it does not believe in waiting until other
countries get ready to enter into an agree
ment.
The silver talk that Mr.. Hanna is in
dulging in for the purpose of holding on
to the silver republicans is not likely to
please that class of republicans nor to
satisfy the gold standard republicans. The
former see no immediate prospect of
getting what they want through the re-
publican party, and the latter remem-
boring the Bland-Allison act and the Sher-
man purchasing act, will be in
clined to think there is little safety from
silver in supporting Mr.. Mckinley.
If the Herald interview is a specimen
of the kind of talk Mr.. Hanna is going to
give out during the campaign he isn't
likely to do Mr.. Mckinley any good.

in any part of the United States. Small
fruits, especially Strawberries, have a
very fine flavor, and command higher
prices in the market than those Of other
fruit growing states,
The reason for the difference in pre-
cipitatlon in eastern and western Mon
tana is due principally to the fact that
storms moving in an easterly direction,
coming in contact with the high noun
taine, condeuse their moisture on the
western elope, thereby giving to that
section greater rainfall and mider
climate.
After passage of the air, devoid Of all
moisture, it reaches eastern Montana as
d dry, cold wind.
The United States weather burca u
classes the stations in Montana as among
the most important ia the service in
making forecasts, Re it gives the first in

The government has in this state about
% voluntary observers, who report
monthly to the central Office at Helena,
giving the maximum and the minimum
temperatures and precipitation each day.
These data are carefully compiled at
Helena, and in time will prove valuable
in studying the climatology of Montana.
The publications made up from these
voluntary observers are issued by the
Washington and Montana offices, and
furnishes reliable information to those
seeking homes in this state. AS these
publications are official, the people
OF the east who desire to make Montana
their home can rely on the facts they
contain.
One very noticeable feature of this Sec
tion of the state is the almost entire ab-
eence of consumption. The name of that
dreaded disease is seldom even heard of
here, and scores of people who have been

there are not more than two or three
