REPUBLICANISM VS.. DEMOCRACY.

1t may appear somewhat strange to
make the assertion that nothing con.
tanned in any Democratic platform dur
ing the past fifty years has ever been en-
acted into law; but such are nevertheless
the facts. This more than indicates the
inconsistency of Democracy. The party
is apparently chuck full of promises and
has an abundance of bait to include
when making up platforms for the pur-
pose of misleading the public. Demo-
Gratis never hesitate to promise anything
if they can thereby advance their own
chances of success ia politics. No one
can consistently believe that Democrats
are sincere in their silver arguments
There is a motive back of it other than
the success of the white metal and pub
lie welfare. Why do they not advocate
the free coinage of silver in New York
and elsewhere IN the east, but select
solely the silver mining sections for such
arguments? If they were honest about
it they would advance the cause of silver
lar as we'll as in the regions where the
metal is produced. Silver is what the
people in the silver producing states
want; we all want it. irrespective of any
party affiliations whatever, and no party
will do more to aid in accomplishing he
recognition of silver as a money metal
on an equality with gold than the Re
publican party.
1t has been demonstrated time and
again that free coinage will never be
brought about under a Democratic ad-
ministratIon, and the free coinage plank
in 9G was only intended to catch the
votes of the silver states. Had the
Democratic party been successful, moth
ing more would have become of free
coinage than exists today. The party
has never been known to fulfill its cam
paign pledges, and 1t should not be ex-
pected to break the rule in this case.
The Republican party is the only ma
tlonal party that has ever done anything
to benefit the general public, and to 1t
we must look for aid in the silver cause.
Free coinage of silver is what we all want
in Montana, and great many more in
fiuentlal Republicans than Democrats
in the east are in favor of slver's restor-
alton. The time will come when the
great silver mining Industries shall again
flourish, but no one need expect that
this will be accomplished by Democratic
legislation. The policy of expansion is
most assuredly step in the right direc-

JEFFER>ONIANISMA AND SOUP HOUSES

The statement that the business fail
ures in the United States for the first
quarter of 1899 are 55,OO0,OOO less than
during the first three months of 1898
and fully 80 per cent less than during a
corresponding period of 1897 or 1896 is
undisputable proof of a general business
revival. This country has never before
enjoyed greater commercial activity
than at present, and the nations of the
world are alarmed at the rapid forward
strides of the American foreign trade. A
most notable feature of the present pros
perity is that it is being shared by all
alike. Democrats are enabled to give
high priced Jeffersonian banquets and
appear to have all kinds of money for
their various dinners, while only a few
years ago urder a Democratic admins
tration it became necessary to establish
soup houses in the larger cities to feed

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE,

A contract for the construction of 6
steel bridge which is to span the Atbars
river IN the Soudan has just beer
awarded to the Pencoyd Iron Works oi
Philadelphia, whose bid was not onl,
lower than those of English manufactur.
ing concerns, but the time IN which the
Americans agreed to fill the contract was
considerably less than that asked by the
British firms The affair has created no
small amount of excitement among
British manufacturers, who have been
accustomed to believing that the steel
industry of Great Britain was far su-
perior and strong enough to defy all
competition. 1t is said that the head of
an English firm which failed to secure
this contract took his defeat ha.d and
INDUCED in making charges of fraud, de-
claring that the American firm either
had the specifications before or had
adopted standard bridge to suit the re-
quirements of the case. Such charges
appear amusing to American bridge
builders. and the head of the Philadel-
phia firm which secured the contract de-
clares that instead of preparing the
work in seven weeks as the contract
provides, they could have done 1t in
seven days if necessary. Euglishmen
require too much time for thinking, and
the facilities in the United States are
advanced with the times and are ever so
much better than anywhere else in the
world.
A controversy growing out of the or
der given by the Midland railway deveI-
oped the fact that superior locomotives
could be turned out in the United States
in less time than required by British
builders to consider the question wheth-
or or not they could afford to take the
contract. In a recent article Mr.. j.
Stephen Jeans, secretary of the
British Steel & Iron association, called
attention to the fact that the United
States had better and larger steel plants
than any other country in the world.
The advantages of American over Eng
lish iron and steel production are un-
surpassable, and with much superior
faculties, this country is at the head of
that great industry. Thlrty-six locomo-
tives for the Ugunda line in the Soudan
are being built in the United States, and
at the rate that this country is getting
control of the foreign markets, Great
Britain will soon be supplanted by the
United States as the leading CONNER
cial nation of the world.
