people would become Industrial slaves.
Mr.. Hartmann passed from point to
point in the Oh scussion of the financial
question. He ridiculed the goidbug
statement that IL is not lack of money
we are 'sufert ng from, but a lack of
confidence. "A kewise he knocked to
pieces the gt ,ldbug statement hat
money has init fnsic values. II has no
intrinsic value whatever. Its only value
IL the purchase ng power IL possesses.
He referred 40 the recent In
Omaha. in VIII lch he Dol part. At
that time % OF the most noted single
standard men 81 ,oke upon the question.
They confessed that wherever there is
the greatest an of industry. the
creates amount of prosperity. there are
also the most sarikes and labor trou-
bles. Mr.. Fowler said in SO many
words that the highest degree Of civil
ization can only be- reached when the
lowest possible prices are reached.
How do you III se that. you producers
of Montana? Blu I they give you a sugar
coated pill. TIL say hat they intend
To send the pric Us down to the lowest,
but they are q ing to send the wages
of labor up. w BY. anybody knows that
labor Is paid &C cording to the value of
the product of lis toll. and this state
ment is therefore intended as a blind.
Mr.. Hartman continued to speak on
the financial csiestion for some time.
and then he .tur red his attention to his
w withdraw as a candidate for
congress He "a Id he had not one word
Ia withdraw fro m the letter he had sent
to the central committee. but besides
his reasons therein contained. there Ii
another. He said that when he went
home from the Anaconda convention
he Dol mp a Est OF the counties of the
state and made careful analysis. and
he came to the conclusion: First. that
he would have been elected to congress
by a majority of from 1000 to 1000:
second. that he had a good many
friends in the democratic party. He
believed that IL he remained in the
race he would have drawn many votes
from the democrats. inc split IL I'm
from seven to nine counties. and al
n result those counties would send gold
republicans to the legislature. who
would In turn send a goldbug to the
senate.
Mr.. Hogan. he said. would only split
the silver forces partially. while he
would have split them in two. Hogan
IL rot a dangerous candidate. but he
will get somc votes that ought to go
to MI. Campbell. and the only thing
he was sorry for is hat we cannot
send Mr.. Cam pbell to Washington with
the highest possible majority. We
must remember that the cause Of sill
yer In greater, than any mans per-
sonal ambition: greater than all mems
ambition. We must leave nc stone un.
turned to send to congress a true sill
yer man: to send to the legislative
assembly men who will elect as a
United States enato a man known
tn be true to silver. known to be OPP
posed to gold. tn the turning over TO
the n the issuance Of money. to
the retirement Of ~greenbacks and To
the issuance of bonds.
Mr.. Hartman's address lasted about
an hour, and at its conclusion Major
Martin Matir mis- said n few words. He
called upon all tn vote the democratic
ticket from head to tail: the whole
democratic ticket. not "A ticket with a
democratic head and a mongrel tail.
He scored the republican party for its
opposition to silver and for it's effort in
trying 10 inject the tariff question into
this car lpaign. when the tariff was not
an issue lat all. He paid a handsome
tribute ito' Mr.. Hartman in saying that
ne did not see why every silver man
cannot do what Mr.. Hartman has done.
He has pulled OF the Shout
der straps OF leadership and
has enlisted in the cause. not
for pc ssonai reasons but for principle.
In spe sking of Mr.. Hogan's candidacy.
the sp saker said that all Hogan could
do was to take votes away from Camp
bell aid run the risk OF sending Mar
shall TO congress.
