expansion, but that he said TO President Mckinley

that he opposed to the acquisition of the islands The

they might be- As a result Mr. SChurman obtained
them and in doing became convinced that the islands
should be retained and that the United States could give
them vastly better than they would obtain under
other circumstances.

THEY DO o 7ALLY

Without any desire to deprive our DEM
ocratic friends of the sympathy to which
they may be entitled, in making UGH a
serious mistake as to get on the wrong
side of the expansion question, one IAN
not resist the temptation to point out
the inconsistency of their several and
respective arguments. The public is in
formed by such leading lights as Colonel
Bryan, for instance, that the United
600, 900, thereby paying 50 per head for the
inhabitants. He recognizes the purchase
as a purchase, and descants at length
upon the immortality Of the transaction.
But while he is doing this, the Ana
conda Standard. which shares with
Bryan the honor of democratic leader
ship, insists that the policy Of the ma
tional administration is one OF ICON
quest" Now, both positions cannot be
right. If the government bought 10000,
600 Filipinos at 50 each, as Bryan pro-
claims, it's policy was a commercial one
and not one of conquest. If, on the on
trary, the policy of the government is
one of conquest, Bryan was wrong when
he claimed it was a commercial one. The
two propositions do not tally. Bryan
and the Standard should get together.

LOOK AFTER II BOYS.

Now that the soldiers have been cor
daily welcomed home by the people of
this state, every locality doing it's full
duty in this respect, a graver RESPONSE
bility must be met. Hundreds of these
men will need employment along accus-
toned lines, and it is the duty Of en-
ployers Of labor to see that an opportun-
ity is given them to go to work.
These men have performed an import
ant service for their country, they have
earned the honors which have been so
freely bestowed upon them. But every
worthy volunteer now aspires to take
his proper place in the community as an
industrious citizen. They should be
given the opportunity to do so.
Employment should be found for these
men without unnecessary delay, for the
Industrial opportunities of the state are
ample to assimilate all. Let it not ba
said that any member of the First Mon
tana is unable to find an opportunity to
again enter the ranks of the Industrious
wage earners of the state. The welcome
extended by Butte and other cities was
most heartily appreciated by the volun-
teers, but let the good words of praise
be supplemented by opportunities to sue
cessfully enter the walks Of civil life.

Inter Mountain why does it not repro

due to the fact hat no such arguments

The Inter Mountain has merely pointed
out the course which the alleged demo-
cratic friends of silver have pursued in
placing the free coinage issue in the
background. In doing this no state
ments at random have been made. The
language of the late leaders of the silver
cause has been given in these columns,
allowing the reader to draw his own con-
c!uslons when it's relevancy to the
next campaign was pointed out.

an undying opposition to any compr
mise that would subordinate in 1900 the
paramount issue Of 1895. they might have
saved the day for free coinage. But
they refused to do so. On the contrary,
they entered with zeal into the prelimi-
nary steps to be taken to bring about a
reunited democracy at the expense Of
free coinage.
