WHERE THE FAULT LIES.

The fact that the silver question was
practically eliminated from the demo-
cratic campaigns in the various states.
and a futile effort was made to win on
the issue of so-called anti-imperialsm,
proves the contention all along made by
the Inter Mountain that the democracy
had by agreement relegated free COIN
age to the rear. No further evidence of
the truth of the position taken by this
paper need be cited than the activity dis
played by the democratic party In letting
the silver question alone.
1t is not to be supposed that the fault
lies with the eastern wing of the dem
ocracy, which was against silver in 1896
and is against it to-day. No concessions
in the interests of the white metal could
reasonably be expected from it's avowed
enemies-men so bitter in their opposi-
tion that they refused to even endorse
the international bmetallism of the re-
publican party in 1896, and put up Palmer
and Buckner as simon-pure representa-
tives of gold monometallism of the most
primative type
These men naturally resented any at
tempt to reproduce the paramount issue
OF the late presidential election, and theJ
We're placated and brought back into
party lines with the understanding that
free coinage should be relegated to the
rear. This was accordingly done. the
sill
sion required of them as the price of
party harmony. In some states a gem
eral undefinable endorsement of the Chi
cago platform was allowed, as a cheap
and economical way of letting the silver
men down easy, but in states where the
old-line democrats felt able to win with
out that concession they refused to make
it. as was the case in Maryland.
But the voters throughout the country,
who are really in sympathy with silver,
cannot fail to roundly censure the So
called silver democrats for having so ef-
fectually betrayed the cause. Had they
stood manfully by the free coinage issue,
and made it the slogan in every state.
of their purposes in 1900. But this they
refused to do.
Beginning with the cowardly political
conduct of 1898, which abrogated the co.
operative policy of 1896, they followed up
their mastery retreat with throwing over
the free coinage ratio, and assuming gold
standard grounds as to the adjustment
of metallic values. From this it was
silver should be placed in the background
and then dropped.
The primary responsibility for all this
rests upon the democratic party in Mon
tana. This is supposedly a silver
stronghold and silver men everywhere
have looked to this state for initial move
ments in the interests of the white metal.
When the democratic leaders here took
the back track. it was useless to wage
war in behalf of free coinage in the nom
silver producing states. They gave the
struggle up as lost, and went into the
campaign on the paramount issue sug-
gested by the late accredited leaders of
the silver cause-ant-imperialism
Montana democrats must shoulder the
load of responsibility which they have in
vited They have killed off the free
coinage issue. Their treachery to the
cause has dealt it a death blow Ons
cannot survey the political field of Tues
day without reaching this conclusion.

In his Thanksgiving proclama ton the
democratic governor of Missouri, Lon B.

was not held, using the following lam
guage:
This paper did not publish a half page
illustration of the Montana volunteers
passing under the arch, the next day after
the celebrated parade wasn't held.
OF course, a parade was given-one that
fitted the description given in the news
columns of the Inter Mountain of the
same evening, barring most of the adjec-
tives and nouns-but that was not the
parade which held exclusive privileges in
the high art department of the Standard
and in the field of imagination. News
paper enterprise suggests the propriety of
publishing important news that take
place on the eve of going to press. Occa-
sionally. unlocked for events disarrange
the settled details of an agreed upon pro-
sramme, too late, perhaps, to admit of
the proper corrections being placed in
type. Thus it happened to the Inter
Mountain the evening Of soldiers day.
pleaded in extenuation of the course pur-
sued by the Standard, the day after the
celebration was held, when it took all
the adjectives it could find in the Inter
Mountain and worked them in as filigree
for it's celebrated half-page cut of that
parade which didn't take place. There
may be some justlica ton for mistakes
as to details in the publication of con-
temporaneous news, but to carry out
that system the following day, after all
the facts are known, even in a half-page
cut that apparently has been chopped
out of the side of a barn with meat
axe, is not recognized as good journal
ism. Had the Standard labeled it's cut:
''The above is what ought to have hap
pened,' and then described in detail what
the picture was about, there would have
been no room for criticism Or, had it
illustrated the parade that did take place,
instead of the one that did not. its high
art gallery would still have a suspender-
hold on the affections of the public.
We have no objections to the compari-
sons which the Standard may have insti-
tuted between the pictures that appear
but when it compares it's pictures with
the Inter Mountains news columns, as
it did this morning, it is only q step to
all sorts of comparisons. Pretty soon it
hv 1o;,
nicer than .he job work which the other
printing establishments are turning out.
Then it will begin to show that none of
the Sunday morning pulpit ora tons can
hold candle to it's pictures. After
awhile the downtrcdden laborng man
with a meal ticke. will want to swap it
for one of those high art specimens.
Dealers in wall paper will soon dis
cover that their most artistic designs
are merely samples of misplaced conf
dence, when pasted up alongside the as
sorted cuts of the Standard Patrons
will be- given cut rates for extra copies
of that paper and when a man awakens
in the morning he can study the walls of
his bedroom from an historical, political,
chronological, astronomical, judicial, mill
tary, and all other standpoints, without
rolling over. There is undoubtedly
great future before that art department,
AND that is why it should be accorded
all due respect. 1t is only fair to say,
Bill Shakespeare did not refer to the
Standards productions when he wrote:
