Nebraska Silver Republicans.

IN Nebraska it is we'll known that
the democrats. silver republicans
and populists held separate con-
ventions, but united upon the same
candidates and made a complete fu-
sion. This is especially worthy of note
in view of the fact that here in the
mountain states, where the silver sem
timent has been stronger than any
where else-or at least has been sup
posed to be-so many so-called silver
republicans are sliding back into the
republican fold for the alleged reason
that the democratic party has aban-
doned the silver cause.
Neither the silver republicans nor the
populists of Nebraska seem to have
been able to discover that abandon
ment," which is so patent to the class
mentioned in this section. 1t is also
worthy of consideration that the Ne
braska silver republicans substantially
agree with their democratic allies upon
other great issues. They declare
strongly against trusts and militarism,
and draw the line of distinction clearly
and sharply between the republicanism
of Hanna and that of Lincoln, Grant,
Logan and Blaine. They demand that
the spirit of the resolution promising
free and independent government to
Cuba be applied to Porto Rico and the
Philippines.
Thus it will be seen that according
to the silver republican doctrine as
laid down by certain newspapers in
this state, the Nebraska silver repub-
licans are false to the paramount is
sue" in venturing to think and speak
their views concerning other ques-
tions. They are also traitors to the
country in daring to question the
wisdom of Mr.. McKinley's Philippine
policy. The difference between the Ne
braska silver republicans and some of
the Montana members of. that persua-
sion is certainly broad enough to be
seen without a microscope.

~ HERE was a flavor @

~ HERE was a flavor of romance
in yesterday mornings special
message to the Standard that
told of the gathering of the old-time
clans at Virginia City. That is the
ancient capital of Montana whittier
the states pioneers have made pilgrim
age for this years meeting. There was
especial fitness in this selection. En-
cept for incidents that relate to the
days spent at Bannack, the pages of
Montana's history dates from the time
early in June of the year 1853 when
Fairweather made his memorable dis
covery.
Even though Alder Gulch is part and
parcel of history that is modern, it is
nevertheless not an easy matter to get
the true recital of the facts that date
from the discovery and the famous
stampede. Within a fortnight items
suggested by the meeting of the pio-
neers and relating to Virginia City
have made the tour of the Montana
press, some of these carrying to the
reading public ridiculous plumbers in
regard to the men, time, place and cir
cumstances. One page of the Stand
ard for yesterday morning gave an
extended sketch of Fairweather's ex-
periences. 1t is entertaining reading;
one merit of the story is that it is ac-
curate in its statements-it is the work
of a Montana veteran who is acquaint-
ed with our early-day chronicles.
But there was a thread of romance
in yesterdays Geographic report of
what occurred at Virginia City on
Monday. The list of arrivals included
Henry F. Edgar, who was a member
of the Fairweather party thirty-six
years ago, when the treasures of old
Alder Gulch were first revealed There
has been a dispute as to the spot
where gold was first found. Mr.. Ed
gar, in company with a group of the
pioneers, went to the site and pointed
it out.
Think of all that has happened and
of all that has been accomplished dur
ing these thirty-six years. 1t is not
short of a marvel. 1t is story of pro-
gress in which these Montana men
have had a part. The Standard con-
graduates them that it has been their
singular privilege to have had so large
a share in the upbuilding of our splen-

Trade With Canada.

e~HE report of the statistician of
the United States treasury de-
partment shows that for the year
1899 the exports from this country to
Canada amounted to 800, 900, 600. That is
to say the people living in the Do
minion of Canada purchase goods from
us to the value of SIS, or whereabouts,
for each person of the 5,00000o making
up the population of that country.
On the other hand, the people of the
United States only bought from Can
ada to the amount of about half
dollar per capita. Proportionately the
Canadians bought from US about thir-
ty-six times as much as we bought
from them.
These figures and proportions are
very suggestive, and they are COM
mended to the calm and intelligent
consideration of those who are indulg-
ing in so much fiashy nonsense about
commerce following the flag" as an
argument in favor of general and in
discriminate expansion.
There is no sentiment in trade. 1t
is the most cold blooded. calculating
thing on earth. If sentiment played
any part we would scarcely have found
our Canadian neighbor buying from us
>thirty-six dollars worth of goods, while
we were buying one dollars worth
from him. On the contrary, he would
have wrapped himself in the ample
folds of the Union Jack and either
bought the goods in EngIand-or some
other British colonY--or not bought
them at all. He would have told the
grasping Yankee that commerce fol-
lows the flag" and that he. as a good
and loyal subject of the queen, would
never forget his patriotism so far as
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-08-30

to buy anything that was produced
beneath the stars and stripes.
But he did nothing of the kind. He
just made his purchases where he could
do so to the best advantage, and he
will continue to pursue that policy.
incidentally, while upon this theme, we
should like to have some enthusiastic
imperialist figure out how long it will
be before we shall sell to the Filipino
thirty-six dollars worth of goods for
every dollars worth that he sells to us.
