WHAT PROTECTION DOES.

Everybody remembers the demo
 cratic shout set up when the tariff du-
 ties on tin plate were increased. The
 democrats sang the changes upon ''in-
 fant industries" and all that sort ot
 thing, and did their utmost to prevent
 the advancement of an industry that
 was bound to thrive if properly pro-
 tected. The expectations of the repuh-
 licans were realized, but 'the pool
 mans dinner pail'-and everybody i knows how the democrats rattled it-
 was not increased in price. American l brains, American skill and American
 money were all put forth in an effort
 to stimulate the business of manufac-
 turing tin plate in this country, and success followed.
 We do not recall whether or not the United States has begun to export tin plate, but the business has so in creased in this country that the tin plate manufacturers of England have been compelled to close their works or run on short time. We are making for ourselves and therefore buying less. Of course our visionary and un- business-like free trade friends look upon this sort of thing as selfish and injurious to others. But we have to look after our own interest first. Not only in the matter of tin plate, but in other directions, has it been demon strated frequently that protection has stimulated business at home and en- couraged manufacturing enterprises. There is no occasion to go over the list, and we have mentioned tin plate sim ply as a reminder to the people who were compelled to listen to wild cries, a few years ago, Of the oppressive" tin tax as operating against the poor man. Now a recognized financial and shipping publication in England has just printed this paragraph:
 Considerable orders for ship plates have been given by British builders to American manufacturers, who have been able to accept lower prices and give quicker delivery than our home makers.
 It was cnly few years ago that the United States was importing all of the ship plates ard steel plates used here, but protection came to the rescue, and now we are selling such plates in the markets where we had to buy before. The world is being forced to recognize that we can, if given half a chance against close competition, eventually turn out whatever is needed for our selves, of better quality and at less figure, and still have something over to sell. Our English friends, for in stance, would not send over here for ship plates if they could get them just as well and have them delivered just as quickly at home.
 We are now sending iron pipe to Glasgow and steel rails to all parts cI the world simply because we make the best for the least price, and our work ingmen are not forced down to the Eu- ropean level in making all this pos sible. Had it not been for protection we would, as Q nation, be where we were thirty-fva years ago. But we have set about to help ourselves and we have done so satisfactorily. We have 1 forged to the front as the first manu- featuring nation in the world, and the greatest exporting nation as we'll We have forced Q recognition of our ca pacity and our resources and prosperity should continue

All this is very pleasant and encourag- ing for Americans to read. That our country has come out of a great and costly war far stronger financially tha-- it went in, and without having to bor- row dollar from any other country, Is the crowning marvel of history. That we are on the eve of the grandest de. velopment of American trade and of the general prosperity Of the United States, that we have eve- yet ssen, is fact which every capable observer Cf events predicts.

The law fixes February as Arbor day in Arizona, when small boys and girls may and should plant trees. In obedience to his unnecessary duty Gov ernor Murphy has proclaimed February as Arbor day, but he has sensibly suggested that in the Arctic regions of Arizona if the day is not propitious for gardening, the school authorities may name a day, later in the spring, when green things may be set out, with safety to the plant and comfort to the planter. Up in the region of Flagstaff, for example, the small boy who would observe Arb3r day on February would necessarily be armed with a snow shovel and a miners pick and drill.

"Some doctors have a most eXtraOrdi-
nary gift of diagnosis" remarked a cler-
gyman of this city. apropos IF nothing in
particular. "A very startling example
of that sort of thing came under my OBJ
a few years ago, and made an
indelible impression on my mind. A ply
sician with whom I am on very friendly
terms had dropped in at my study and I
showed him a letter I had just received
from an acquaintance in Chicago touch
ing upon a subject in which we We're mu-
tually interested. After studying the
handwriting closely for a few moments
the doctor surprised me greatly by saying

"'You're greatly mistaken I said; he's
in vigorous health, quite a noted ath-

locomotor ataxia all the same, and I

He did have latent lOcomotor ataxia at

my study. and it subsequently developed
in it's most appalling form. In a years
time he was reduced to almost complete
idiocy, and not long afterward his unhap-
by life was abruptly terminated by an ac-
cident. The doctor say now that there

THE KENTUCKY DISGRACE.

The democratic state convention at
Louisville is a disgrace to the American
nation. Legally assembled to carry out
political functions belonging to the DEM
ocratic party. it has degenerated into q
mob of wild beasts. For several days all
attempts to do business have been frus-
trated, n at times revoivers We're drawn
and a free fight threatened. The democ-
racy is so hungry for the spoils Of Of
fee that they cannot permit the usual
rules governing bodies of that kline TO
be enforced, but seek to brow-beat and
trample each other under foot. The pres
ence Of the police alone prevents blood
shed, and the adding Of the crime of MUIR
der to the disgrace OF riot.
Not only is common decency outraged
by such proceedings on the part of a
great political organization, but profana-
ton has been added to it's other offenses.
On one occasion the bowling. yelping
gang Of political hyenas broke forth into
AS uCiS y SOlIS, dIiu Will liiuIutI III
their hearts they rendered Nearer, My
God, to Thee" Think of such an exhibit
ton Of indecency in a democratic state
convention in the sovereign
wealth of Kentucky. Shades of the inn
mortal Clay. can such things be? The
i've in the half-world Of a great
city would scarcely invite the o%pprobrium
which such indecency would invite. n
poetical% production which association has
made sacred, which has lifted the con-
trite soul of the repentant, which has
healed the broken heart of grief and
the falling tears of the worlds
is dragged before the world
by the bar-room loafers of the blue grass
state as if it We're a lewd lullaby for the
political lust of designing men. Shame
upon them.
Taken in it's entirety, the democratic
state convention in Kentucky calls for
the condemnation of every right-minded
man. 1t is a burlesque on the right to
peacefully assemble for political pur-
poses. And yet, how quiet is the demo-
cratic press. They havc graphically pic
tured scenes of discord in Ohio that do
not exist, outside their own su~per-heat-
ed imaginations, but not one word Of edi-
torial censure of the Dear garden in
Louisville. Whichever faction wins the
disgraceful row., it will be lauded to the
skies by the democratic press as repre-
sentative of the best interests of the ma
ton and as the triumph of immutable
justice! Kentucky is giving the democ-
racy an elegant send-off for 1900. AS a
pioneer in the forthcoming presidential
contest the stamping ground of Henry
ought to become a landmark
which future generations will point
with pride!

WILL o DEBATE ".

If it were really dangerous, the hysteria
exhibited by the Helena Independent over
the silver question would excite alarm,
but as its spells are not chronic. and are
intermittant whenever a juicy Office is in
sight, no one becomes greatly worried.
Yesterday it said:
With every reason under heaven to as
sert that the democrats will reaffirm the
chicago PLATFORM. can anyone honestly
declare that silver will not be an issue in
1900, and the Leading issue at that? No.
Owing to the crowded condition of it's
advertising columns the Independent fails
to respond to several propositions pub
lished in the Inter Mountain relative to
dismisses all argument with an imperious
wave of the hand. and declares that no
n believes that silver will not be the
paramount issue in 1900, that they SIM
ply lie who say they do Any street
loafer can meet an argument in this way,
but it takes a gentleman to discuss a
proposition on it's merits.
The Inter Mountain has submitted a
number of arguments as to the course
pursued by the democracy in this state,
as well as the national democracy, all of
which are studiously evaded by the DEM
ocratic press of Montana. Why does not
the Independent make an attempt to
snow that our arguments are fallaciouso
Why does it not render the community a
service by Earring loose it's ponderous
logic upon our head?
The way to arrive at the truth of any
proposition in controversy is to discuss
1T, permitting it to stand or fall on is
merits. The Inter Mountain has con-
clusively shown that the democratic par
ty in this state has treacherously treated
the cause of silver, and that it has
stabbed the free coinage issue in the back
while assuming to be it's friend. We have
shoWn that the national silver leaders of
that party are trying to relegate free
coinage to the background and spring
something else for a paramount issue in
1900. But the Independent refuses to dis
cuss these accusations on their merits,
knowing full well that they are true. 1t
therefore resorts to the methods we have
referred to. and gives the lit direct rath-
er than risk the uncertainties Of debate.

nv ELEVEN STATES.

The elections N November thisy year will
sentiment along the issues that are shap-
ing up for more active field work in 1900.
Eleven states will test the efficacy Of the
ballot box in settling the great problems
of local government, as follows: w
Iowa-Governor, state officers and leg.
islature.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and other state
officers.
observation-disclosures n both houses
of the legislature. w.
Observation-Disclosures, state officers
and both houses of the legislature.
Mississippi-Governor, state officers

court ard two members of the board of
regents of the state university.
New Jersey-Eight state senators and
60 members of the assembly.
New York-TWo~j justices Of the supreme
court in the First judicial district, one
justice in the Fifth district, three justices
in the Eighth district and $50 members of
the general assembly.
Ohio-Governor and all state officers.
Pennsylvania-State treasurer, two
judges of the supreme court and one
judge of the superior court.
Nirginia-Secretary Of state, treasurer
and minor state officers and legislature.
In Iowa, Massachusetts, Ohio and
Pennsylvania republican success is as
sured in advance, while the democrats
may look with equal confidence upon
Mississippi M Virginia. Kentucky,
which is usually classified as a democratic
state, gave Mckinley a plurality Of Isl
votes over Bryan in 1896, and in view Of
the feud which is being intensified by the
democratic convention now in session at
Louisville, may again go republican in
November. Harmony on the part of the
democrats this year might have saved
Kentucky to that party next year. AS
matters now are it can be placed in the
doubtful column.
McKinley's plurality of 80, 232 in Mary
land in 1896, out of a total vote Of 241, S4l,
indicates that his policy will doubtless
be endorsed by that state in it's forthcom-
ing election, while New Jersey will follow
suit. Aside from the election Of $50 mem
bers Of the general assembly, which for
local reasons will be a mixed proposition,
the contest in New York is Of a judicial
character, with little political signifi-
canoe. The same may be said of Ne
braska. However, the general average
of results will be interpreted as having q
bearing on the great opening battle of the
new century.
