Mr.. E. G. Mcintyre of Helena,
Mont, who is visiting Washington,
said of politics in his state: "Although
the democratic candidate for Congress
was successful in Montana last year,
that does not signify that the state is
anti republican. AS soon as the free
silver craze is dead, Montana takes its
place in the list of sure republican
states. The sentiment in favor of
silver, which was so overwhelmingly
manifested in the elections of '96, is
not nearly SO strong among our peo-
pie now. They are prosperous and
are beginning to realize that the free
coinage of the white metal is not alb
solutely essential to their welfare"

1t has been claimed for many years
that wires are not essential in send

the length of which varies with the

has been in operation between the

THE RISE IN WAGES.

The extensive rise in the wages of
labor has received much attention,
and yet not as much as it's Importance
would warrant. There is a natural dis
position to make the most of such
recognized and indubitable signs Of
public prosperity, and some uncon
scious exaggeration has not been
wanting in recent announcements
about wages. Some works have been
included which actually made the ad-
vance early in March, and some
others which then made public an
nouncement that the advance would
take effect April 1. In one or two
cases hands say that the advance is
not as great as has been represented.
Some men have an especial talent for
looking gift horse in the mouth. But
all the whiting and pairing that can
be excused will not alter the fact that
this extensive advance in wages is
worth more to the country than
many triumphs or gains which ELECTS
profound thankfulness.
The reason is that the sources Of flu
ture prosperity are thereby directly
increased. The farmer has glad har-
vest home when a rare good year
gives him a gain of tenth of his
yield, but what would be his joy if
magic had made his fields more pro-
ductive by a tenth for all time! The
railroad manager rejoices if a year

A REASON PARTLY STATED.

The New York Stats Zeitung in re-
buking the Republicans for claiming
any credit for the increased revenue
from Tariff receipts, says the treason
why Tariff receipts under the Wilson
Tariff were not SO high as now was
because Of the general business de-
preston ard the low consuming ca
pacity of the country, and that the
depression has disappeared is GER
tainly no merit of the Republicans"
No Protectionist will deny that the
low Tariff receipts under the Wilson
law were d1e to ''the general business
depression and the low consuming ca
pacity Of the country" There is no
doubt that if the people of the country
had had more money they would have
bought more foreign goods-as well
as more domestic goods.
But because of the closing of Amer
lean factories through the operations
OF the Wilson G orman law the wage
earnere of the country were deprived
of work and wages, and the employ
ers Of labor were without business and
without profit. Naturally the con-
Stunning capacity of the country was
low. The consuming capacity always
is low under Free trade, because
Free trade means destination of
American industries. The strange
thing is that the Stats Zeitunq cannot
see the inevitable connection between
Free Trade and a low consuming ca
pacity. That connection has been IL
Illustrated more than once in the his
tory of the country.
The Stodts Zeitung apparently
thinks that business depression just
comes and goes and that no man
knows the why or the wherefore. But
all effects have cause, and the Staats
Zeitung would do we'll if it would pom
der with unprecedented mind upon the
cause of the Industrial depression
which prevailed throughout the coun-
try during the existence of the Wilson
German law and the Free trade ad-
ministration of Grover Cleveland,
and which disappeared at the restora-
ton of Protection. There is no doubt
in the minds of the vast majority of
the people as to the cause of the in
dustrial depression of 1893 60. The
result of the presidential campaign of
1896 showed how they interpreted the
matter.-Anaerican Ecoraom asst.
