An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS. manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laXa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance. and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

The Cause of Our Prosperity.

~ CCORDING to Mr. Nash, the re-
n publican candidate for governor
of Ohio, the prosperity which the
country is now said to be enjoying, is
the joint result of the gold standard
and protection.
It is a little singular that the repub-
lican party was so long in discovering
what a good thing the gold standard
is. Until the st. Louis convention met
in 1896, if any one had ventured to inti-
bate that the republican party was in
favor of that standard, it requires a
very extensive vocabulary and a fer
tile imagination to think of bad name
that the average republican would not
have applied to him. Liar" and "slan-
derer'' would have been among the
mildest of them.
Why. the party did not even emerge
from that convention as gold stand

miral, a decision which vindicated
anew his title to sound judgment and
common sense. Dewey would make a
good president. There is no doubt
about that. But would it pay to sur
render the place he now occupies as the
greatest of living Americans to accept
the thankless office of president?
Dewey belongs to no party and cannot
be made the mouthpiece of any faction.
He is the proud possession of the entire
country and every man, woman and
child in this broad country Is interested
in keeping the bright lustre of his fame
untarnished. Dewey never makes mis-
takes.
The welcome which will be extended
to the great admiral this week in New
York is more than a local testimonial
1t is the tribute of a mighty nation to a
noble man, and as he passes through
the surging, tumultous crowds who will
greet him Thursday and welcome him
home, he will know that throughout the
country there are millions more who
are sending a silent welcome to the
man who did his duty and did it well.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-27

ard organization. So far from il the
platform adopted was a direct admis-
sion that the gold standard was a bad
one, and it pledged the party to en-
deavor to get rid of 1t by means of an
international agreement.
But beyond all this. If our present
prosperity Is owing to the gold stand
ara ana protection, what caused the
awful panic of 1878, and the hard times
which lasted without a break until the
enactment of the Bland law in 1878?
what caused the panic of 1880, and the
depression which continued with only
occasional faint spurts of improvement
until the close of 1891? How comes it
that republicans are constantly refer
ring to 1892 as the banner year" up to
1898, when, as everybody knows, we
then had Sherman law" throwing
about four million five hundred thou
sand dollars in silver into the currency
each month? How comes it that the
republicans enacted that law as party
measure, and boosted of its beneficent
effects all through the campaign of
1892?
If the gold standard is so good, why
dld the republican national convention
OF that year denounce the democratic
party for its alleged efforts to demone-
TIE silver, and why has Mr.. Mckinley
wasted so much of his precious time
ana lung power in castigating Mr..
Cleveland for his efforts to fasten this
excellent standard upon the country?
But further Even now fears are be-
ing aroused at the great financial CEN
tiers as to the continuance of the present
burst of prosperity. Suppose a reac-
ton should come, as it may, and hard
times strike us again, will the gold
standard and protection" be the cause /?
Not in Mr. Nashs judgment, We may
be sure. If the democrats should score
triumph in the meantime that would
be the cause. If the change should
come before the election, it would
be ascribed to a fear that the demo-
cratic party would succeed. If the re-
publicans should triumph, and then the
prosperity should dwindle and vanish,
the stereotyped excuse would be "over-
production" Now we are prosperous
because We are producing SO much

~ ITY the sufferings of Mr.. Taylor
~ Cook, the Kansas murderer, who
has petitioned the governor of
that state to go ahead and hang him.
Mr.. Cook has grown tired of waiting
and will not be comforted. There are
sixty murderers in Kansas awaiting
execution, and as the governor is not
required by the law to sign the death
warrant the signature has not been
forthcoming in many years. Most of
them are bearing up with more or less
fortitude, but occasionally one like Mr..
Cook finds his patience exhausted and
his condition so unbearable that he
feels he can stand it no longer We are
in doubt as to just what advice to offer
these sixty unhanged murderers, but
perhaps If they all signed a round
robin to the governor uroing him to
sign their death warrants he might re-
lent and accommodate hem. It's worth
trying anyway.

The Rising Tide.

- ULLER reports of the proceed
r ings of the Massachusetts, demo-
cratic convention only serve to
emphasize the overwhelming character
OF the Bryan Williams victory in the
old Bay state. A ''Bryan-Willams vic
tory" simply means a splendid triumph
for the principles of the Chicago plat
form, with the great monetary question
at the fore as the paramount ISSUE,
to borrow phrase that has been some
what overworked in certain quarters
here in Montana.
The platform in all its essentials
appears in another part of this issue,
and it will repay the most careful read
ing, both for the beauty of its diction
and the clearness with which it states
the issues. The most significant point
connected with it's adoption is the fact
that Notwithstanding the disturbance
created by the Quincy minority from
Boston, led by Congressman Montgom-
cry, the platform was adopted without
a dissenting vote. The minority, how
ever it may have felt was so small that
it dared not make an exhibition of its
weakness through a yea and nay vote.
Speaking of the result, Willis j. Alb
hot one of the truest silver men in
the country, in letter to the New York
Journal says: With all the patronage
of the city of Boston to support him,
Mayor Quincy has failed to make even
an impression on the state convention,
striking illustration of the impossi-
bility of doing anything to-day in demo-
cratic politics while ayowing hostility
to Mr.. Bryan and the principles he
maintains"
Mr.. Abbot then states that the &C
tral voting force behind the noise of
the opposition was SO small that when
noses We're once counted the opposition
gave up in despair.
After predicting substantial harmony
among the Bay state democracy, Mr..
Abbot concludes: THE net results of
this convention held under such I'M
usual conditions, are the opening of the
contest for the democratic presidential
nomination with solid delegation OF
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-27

thirty for Bryan, the expression of the
demand of Massachusetts, for plat
form even more radical than that
adopted at Chicago, and the virtual as
surance that nearly if not quite all the
New England states will join in similar
action"
Right in close connection with this
comes the New York Journal, hereto
fore by no means a Bryan paper, with
the statement that Edward Murphy, jr.,
Richard Croker and Hugh Mclaughlin,
three of the Big Four" democratic
leaders of that state, are not only per-
scnally for Bryan, but are using their
influence to secure for him a solid dele
cation from New York in support of
his candidacy for the presidential nom
ination. What is more, it is very strong
ly intimated by the Journal that David
B. Hill, the last of the big Four" is
also very likely to swing into line.
However this may be, that the east
ern tide is rising strongly in Bryan's
favor is SO plain fact that it is not
open to an honest denial. The unavoid-
able corollary is that the principles of
the Chicago platform are gaining
ground generally, for it is not reason
able to suppose that the astute poll
ticians of those great eastern states are
deliberately engaging in game of
"hari kari" They are simply putting
themselves in line with the trend of
public sentiment

The Irrigation c ongress.

n ? OF so long ago, in a statement
M made before the industrial COM
mission, one of the officers .:
the National Grange gave as the reason
for his objection to national aid to ir-
rigation projects. such as storage reese =
voirs, the fact that 1t would SO increase
the productivity Of the West that east
ern farmers would be driven from the
market
While this statement Is exaggerated
In its conclusions, it nevertheless brings
out fact to which the West is slowly
waking up. thanks to the earnest efforts
OF the National Irrigation congress, the
tireless work of which has aroused an
interest which grows stronger with
every year The eastern farmer sees
that to which many in the West are
blind-that irrigation on a vast scale
would give the West an immense agri-
cultural supremacy and make it even
worlds markets.
The sub-arid district Of the West is
one of the most fertile in the world
1t needs but the magic touch of water
to make it bloom like a garden. 1t can
be made to support millions where now
the sage bush, the coyote and the rat
tier hold undisputed sway. The redemp-
ton of these lands to civilization and
culture means much for the country at
large and should have a vital interest
to every one who has the welfare of
the West at heart. When these lands
are settled and made productive, the
effect will be felt by every class in the
West. 1t means more people, more
money, more trade and business and
it also means that the West will be in
a position to demand and receive its
rights in national affairs instead of be-
ing obliged to put up with sights from
the East with its larger constituencies
| and preponderance of influence.
And it is not alone the West which
would reap the benefit. Every farmer
on these new lands would constitute a
demand for Eastern goods. 1t would
mean more wheels turning in every fac
tory and a greater demand for eastern
labor So interdependent are the rela-
tions of nearly every industry that
prosperity in one reacts upon all.
Nothing but good can result from the
session of the National Irrigation con-
gress at Missoula. Thorough discussion
of the great problems which means SC
much for the West is clearing the field
| for intelligent action which must Lead
| to ultimate success.
In a tentative way, the West has be.
| gun its great work. Here and there
| throughout this vast country scientific
agriculture has done away with the lot
| terry of the seasons and the success o.
| these first hating steps are indicative
| of the wonderful results which will en-.
sue when the task is taken up in earn.
| est and the problems are tackled sys
| tematically.

" INNATE WORLD POLITICS.

When we discuss the subject of ma
tional expansion, we should do so in the
llsht OF one momentOus fact, the great
est. the most profoundly significant. that
has ever confronted the human race. II
is this-that the movements now in prog-
ress are about to settle definitely. for the
first time in history, the international re-
latiOns of the whole earth. 4
Until now, the extent of the world has
been. for all practical purposes, infinite.
The empires that have risen and fallen in
the past have run the ir course in a vague
environment without bounds. Hence.
they were predestined sooner or later to
exhaust themselves and die. Rome add
ed province after province to her dOmin-
ions; but with each extension the Roman
stock became more diluted, the ~frontie
to be held against the pressure of the
mysterious beyond became longer. and
the power of resistance became feebler.
There are some fifty million square
miles of land on the globe. In the time of
Pericles European civilization covered,
say, fifty thousand quare miles-about
the area of an ordinary American state
to which the neighboring civilizations of
Carthage, Egypt and Persia added per-
haps two million more. Beyond tina
there were misty visions of kingdoms in
