Las Vegas OPTIC is most inconsist-
ont. 1t says protection and statehood is
its campaign motto. Now, The OPTIC
should know that statehood can never
come from a gold bug congress and a
gold-b bug president, and as for protection,
the Mckinley variety has been too often
repud;ated by western wool growers to
cut any sort Of figure in this campaign.
THE OPTIo's own files will demonstrate
this fact. Dare THE Optic draw upon
them for facts?-NeiU Menicdn.
1t Is not yet an assured fact that a
gold-bug congress will be elected, nor
that the republican president, who will
certainly be elected, will be the arch
enemy to silver that our friends, the
democrats, would have us believe.
The allusion to the mckinley va
riety'' of protection is an insult 10 the
intelligence Of the wool growers of the
west, whose industry has been ruined
by the democratic, free-trade tariff
We shall have more to say about this
latter proposition as time wears on.
