SENATOR TELLER's farewell to the Re- publican party at the St. Louis Con- vention was a remarkable exhibition, it was the decided outpouring of an honect heart, heart that beats in uni son and sympathy with the great la boring classes of the United States. He could not stay in the party that for got its first and paramount duty, the welfare of the weak and lowly, the up- building of the down-trodden and op- pressed, sooner than remain and be- come party by consent to such iniqit- ous conduct he preferred to ostracise himself from the party of his choice, the party of his whole life and make of himself a political martyr. Such an exhibition of courage in these de- generate days of politics and politi- clans is, to say the least, refreshing and aids in strengthening ones belief in human kind. All honor to the brave Senator from Colorado. firm in the hon. esty of his convictions, he possessed that rare moral attribute, the courage to openly express them, and not con- sent, like many of his contemporaries, to adhere to republican principles, and live lie.

CONSUMPTION OF MUTTON.
1t Is Greatly on the Increase in
 This Country.
[ American Agriculturist.


 Owing to lack of old-time profit Id wool growing and the uncertainties sur rounding the future of that market, it is all important that the outlet for sheep for the mutton purposes be en- larged. Deplorable as are the serious inroads made into our focks, itis grati- flying to know that there IS positive and increasing demand for mutton. The exports of live sheep, chiefly to the United Kingdom. have grown enor- mously, as frequently pointed out Tn these columns. Argentine offers sharp competition, yet the European de- mand for our sheep is very helpful, to- tai exports to all countries increasing to 406 900 head in 1895, compared with l32. 900 in 1894. Exports of dressed mutton last year were smaller than the year before, foreign buyers preferring to import sheep alive. The growth in the chilled mutton trade has increased wonderfully, however, from 10O,0 900 to 100000 pounds annually q few years ago, to over 100000 pounds in 1894, chiefly to the United Kingdom. British colonies, Bermuda and Mexico.
 Best of all, however, is the steadily increasing favor shown mutton by home consumers. Never before were so many people fayorably disposed toward mutton as an article of food, and never hoe tI,o CuoJ;f1y opj Ho1yor I,oay, boffa- than today. Out of the remarkably large number of sheep slaughtered at leading packing centers, by far the greatest proportion is going into home consumption. Last year over $500 900 sheep were slaughtered at Chicago, Kansas City aud Omaha, compared with less than 100000 in 1889.
 Careful inquiry made by this journal among the leading dressed-meat con- cerns and also retailers in New York, Boston and Chicago. reveals the de- cided opinion that the iucreas in the consumption of mutton is enormous. Comparing the last five years with an earlier period, these authorities esti- mate the increase all the way from 10 to 50per cent. The great packing house of Armour & Co.,, Chicago, began slaughtering sheep in 1881, placing 46l,- 842 on the market that year. Following was a steady and rapid increase, until 1895 they slaughtered 622,7I3 and other leading packers show a big increase. "We consider that the increase shown by our figuers," say Armour & Co.,, ''is a very fair indication of the growth of favor mutton has found as food during this period. We think the use and de- mand for it has increased probably 50 per cent within the last five years; be- lieve this is partly owlng to it's cheap ness. but more to improvement Of quality, which, during that time, has been very marked.

sideration is given to the acts of the
 late Congress Every effort was made
 to pass tariff laws for the enlargement of the revenue and every such bill was
 unanimously tabled by the republican members, headed by that foxy Iepubli- can leader Sherman. With this record before them will the people allow them selves to be bamboozled? Take the circulating medium of any country and place it in the hands of few people, same as the gold of the United States, and the result can only be disastrous, tariff would simply augment the troub- le and could not possibly alleviate, af- ter the finance is firmly settled, and not sooner. can we afford to agitate the tariff question. Do not permit repub- llcan sophistry to wean you from the the only issue of the con- tug national election, the money prob lem.

THE Mckinley platform taken as


 THE Mckinley platform, taken as q work of political art, (which it is,) stands to-day without parallel, it's a chef d'ouvre, and in this respect it "soars far away" above any effort of the G. o. P. in the past. According to this platform the flow of money (not gold) into the pockets of the people will be so great that they will neither know nor care anything about the cur rency system, in fact they will be so oc- cupied ln gathering in the money har- vest that whether or not the govern ment owns Or controls currency sys- tenn will be to them a matter of the most sublime indifference. With gold as the single standard, the millionaire hoaTders and brokers in this money will be so delighted that they will at once sell some of it to the government t and ask for it back again on silver cer- tifcates, thereupon another hundred million of U. $, bonds will issue and times will be good for the brokers and millionaires, and the people, well, they wont be in It to any percept:ble extent. but comfort may always be derived from the thought that they can change it all in four years, whats four years out of life time? supposing you can't find work, and your wife and little ones are hungry, it's a poor American that cant starye four years, especially when you consider that it is done in good cause, for the great republican party, the champions of the money power, the makers of millionaires, and the controlled of monopolists, tut, tut, never let hunger or lack of employment tash you, but keep right on, with your eyes on your leader and your hearts full of sympathy for the oppressed mo- nopoIists and millionaires.

THE Sulphur Valley News says: The democratic party is very uncertain and IS forever changing issues, that four years ago all the talk was tariff, now We don't hear single word on the sub- ject. What would you have gentlemen? So far as the tariff issue of the demo- cratic party is concerned there is noth- ing more to be said, they done exactly what they pledged themselves to do, they knocked out the iniQuitous Me- Kinley bill, and knocked it stiff and cold, never again to be resurrected. Their principal issue now is 10 knock out the parent of that bill, and if noth- ing happens to you in the next four months to impair your vision or facul- ties you will seee William laid to rest beside his bill.

DURING the issuance of bonds by the Cleveland administration. the Re, ub- lican party as a unit derived great en- joyment from the Yillifcation of Cleve- land and Carlyle. Their organs were loud in denunciations alleging scheme On the part of the President and Sccre. tary of the Treasury to enrich the money brokers of Wall and Lombard streets respectively. Every effort was made, every wire pulled, and every sin gle representative in congress was ap- preached by the minions of the great party. To stigmatize the President and east reproach upon his administra. tion, it was openly asserted that Grover Cleveland was an interested party in Wall street, and that he had sold him. self to the foreign money power and all because lie Was firm enough to issue Eonds and strengthen the credit of our government; that credit they so basely deserted by their continued refusal to assist. And now, where IS the g. o. D.? Where now are the villifers of our na- tional protectors? Where now are the champions of the people ys. the blood suckers of Wall street? Sold, body and soul, through that arch monopo- list and money grabber, Mark Hanna. Triumphaatty handed over to the power they treacherously decried Ye gods! what an humiliating exhibition of party vilIainy and disgracefnl de- pravity. The great party of the people, under the leadership of bloated mil lionaire and monopolistic champion, tamely submitting to his commands, forced to bow to his pudgy decrees, and meeklY swallowing principle that was decidedly repul-ive to the majority of the party. Surely such criminal tim- idity; such departure from time hon. ored principles of all political parties, m st be indicative of Republican de cadence. The great masses cannot afford to sanction such a monstrosity of party corruption, nor will they. Such lesson will be read to these boodlers next November as never before was read to any great party, and from the date of the St. Louis convention, the nomination of Mckinley, the sell out, and the adoption of the gold plat form by the Republican party, will date the dissolution of the grand old party of poodle and corruption.

AN exchange says

Ii there were any Democrats in the convention "Wednesday they should have applauded Chairman Thurston when he said: "Eight years ago 1 had the distinguished honor to preside over the convention which nominated the last Republican President of the United States" There are others than Mir. ThurstOn who believe that the last Re- publican President was nominated eight years ago.
 Yes, and the honor bestowed on Mr. Thurston eight years ago, and of which he is so exhuberantly proud, will never again be repeated; at least, not in MT. Thurston. An honor of that kind, un- der present conditions, can only come once In long lifetime.

 This is quite in keeping with the principles of the g. o.p.. and in this respect they are of kin with the Popu- lists. The latter are called the party of one idea. The Republican party profess no more. Oppose Democracy is their battle cry. The Democratic party is the great party of the people, and the avowed champion of their rights and liberties. As a consequence. the sole, the all-absorbing principle of the great Republican party is, anything to defeat the people.

l Several extensive wool hrmS at Las 1 Vegas have issued call for conven- ton of wool growers at that place, to meet July : and s. This committee consists of three democratic trms and one republican, and they say that "the present odious, unjust discrimination 1 in the tariff law against wool growers demands our earnest, emphatic and united protest" Will the democratic wool growers of this territory continue to vote with the party that has ruined their business?-A Alb. Ct.zen.
 Respecting the query twill the dem ocratic wool growers of the territory continue to vote with. the party that has ruined their business ?" All de- bends upon the sort of wool growers you appeal to, MT. Citizen. and also the party they attribute their ruin to. for example, the writer, although not q voter of New Mexico, is both wool grower and Democrat, and there are a whole lot more such in this county, and these wool-growing Democrats, you can bet your hat, will vote the Democratic ticket at every opportunity. Why? For the sole reason that the present tariff is not unjust discrimination, nor is it odious; quite the reverse. Every wool grower Is aware of the fact that prices for that commodity during the past two or three years have been ruinous to the producer, but it does not follow that every intelligent (note the distinction) wool grower attributes the cause of the depression to the removal of the tariff. If our memory serves us, during the creation of the Mckinley bill, Repub- Iican stumpers and the Republican press of the country demanded high protection; for what? To aid in build- ing and fostering our infant industries. This was the cant. That theory has long since been exploded. 1t didn't work. The conclusion now generally arrived at is this: to foster infant in- dustries. give us free raw material and then place prohlbitive duty on foreign articles of manufacture that compete with such home industries. So, if our lawmakers want or desire to benefit wool-growers, let them pass a law pro- hibiting the importation of foreign woolen goods; then our wooden mills can open up; every loom in the United StUtes will run 10 it's fullest capacity i; our seventy millions of people will h. sume the product of these mills, and the natural law Of supply and demand will send mp the price of wool and the wool-grower will be more prosperous than ten thousand Mckinley bills ever could make him. The Republican the ory of high protection is falIaclous. It proved so during the two years It was in effect. Every wool-grower in the United States knows that from the time the Mckinley act became law until it was abrogated, each wool clip was less i'll value than the preceding one, So, you see, the party that ruined the wool business is the Republican party, and the few Democrats that went wrong a few years ago are coming back to the fold, and will vote with the party of the Democracy this fall and many succeed ing falls.

GARRETT A, HOBART.

McKinley's running mate, although but little known in politics, is nevertheless man of considerable prominence in the far east. His principal claim to recognition and preferment by the Re- publican boss who run things at St. Louis lies in the fact that he is im- mensely rich again, he is attorney for several wealthy corporations of the east, aud is himself president of the East Jersey Water company, an inn mense monopoly, with offices in Wall street.
