EXPECTED %ROORBACKS.
pound a little -:

Inasmuch as the Inter Mountain will
not be issued again until the evening of
election day, we desire to caution the
public against the campaign roorbacks
that will doubtless be sprung by the Ana
conda Standard when it is too late for
his paper to make rejoinder. The course
Of the Standard through the campaign
iustifes the belief that it will resort tC
any statement that may apparently con-
serve the end it has in view, regardless of
it's truthfullness.
We dislike very much to impute a dis
regard for the facts to SO ably edited a
journal as the Standard, but candor COM
pels the admission. On the theory that
:the end justifies the means" the Stand
ard will spring any sort of a proposition
on the eve of election, and then chuckle
in it's sleeve later on for having fooled the
people with neatness and dispatch.

Democracy and Silver.

The Standard is one of the
newspapers that have felt that
an exact statement of the ratio
is not a vital factor in silver's
restoration. The ratio is a mat
ter of law; 1t has varied slightly
in our own currency; our ratio
has also varied slightly from the
one that has ruled in some other
countries. The worlds OK
changes practically fix the ra-
tio-Anaconda Standard. Janu-
airy 9, 1899.

AS TO RIBER

Thousands of dollars will be placed in
the hands of democratic workers toEbe
used next Monday in the purchase of
votes. The pure and indebted democracy
will forget that it is just as much of a
crime to bride a voter as 1t is to bribe a.
member of the legislature. The moralfef-
feet is often worse. The voter sometimes
accept the bride of $40 that is offered him
because he is out of work and his wife
and babies are hungry, and he is lead into
crime by his necessities.
The member of the legislature
who accepts a bride either to
vote for a candidate for the senate or for
a corporation bill, is a bad egg to begin
with and from a strictly moral standpoint
is a hard man to spoil. To spoil one good,
we'll meaning man, by taking advantage
of his necessities, is a worse crime against
morality thar to bride a dozen of the
hoboes in the sixth legislative assembly.
But the democratic boodlers next Mon
day will not think of that. Any man who
offers a bride, either to a emb of the
legislature or to an honest citizen for his
vote should be punished to the limit.
