THE TARIFF IN MONTANA.

In another column will be found a
sta tistical article of direct personal in
terest and Importance to every wool
grower and cattle owner in Montana. In
eastern Montana, where Hon. w. A.
Clark and other free trade spell binders
are trying to obtain the votes of the
wool growers and stock raisers on per-
sonal issues, the article will be found of
peculiar value, as it shows what the
people will lose if they allow any local
or personal question to obscure the great
tariff issue and it's relation to the homes
and pockets of the people. This is a

IT'S PLAIN ENOUGH.

In this campaign men are doing their
own thinking. They can not be misled
by sophistry, nor by falsehood, nor by
the few wretchca dollars they could sell
their votes for if they desired to hate
themselves all the rest of their ives.
1t is plain to the average man that
the object of the democratic party lead
second, to down the Amalgamated com
pany by a system of persecution through
the legislature and through the courts.
1t is plain to the average man that
personal ambition and business rivalry
are at the bottom of the democratic
campaign and thai the question of good
government, of low taxes and of busi-
ness prosperity is considered of least
Importance.
1t is plain to the average man that
the fusion ticket, representing parties
of opposite political beliefs, is based on
no moral or economic principle and that
it stands for greed, spoliation and re-
venge. It's success will be regarded as
a commission from the people to begin
war upon private enterprise, upon out
side capital, upon home labor employed
by that capital and upon the prosperity
and independence of all men who are
identified in any capacity with the COM
pany whose disposition to resist beins
robbed has so angered the democratic
powers that be.
It is plain to the average man that Nc
good cause would rally to its support
some of the creatures who are officiating
as boosters in this organized assault Oh
property and property rights, and whose
regulations disclose and proclaim the
nefarious conspiracy now being carried
on. ,.
It is plain to the average man tina:
all the Amalgamated and Standard Oil
talk on one side and all the corruption
ak on the other is largely a demo-
cratic quarrel. with which the republican
party has nothing to do. The republican
platform speaks for itself. The repub
lican candidates are well known citizens
having no connection with any corpora
ton, intimate or remote. They are il
the campaign on their merits, asking the
support of all men who distrust the de,
mocracy and uphold the law; of all mer
who want to keep the mines open: of al
men who expect to do business in Butte
and make a living for their families il
peace; of all men whose motto is 'liyt
and let live of all men who are tree
of democratic turmoil n disgrace.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1900.
AN IRRELEVANT CHARGE.

T. it pteases the Miner to refer to the
Irter Mountain as an ~Amalgamated
let it go ahead. The Inter
Mountain has nothing to do with the
Anaa!gamated, directly or indirectly.
Neither have the republican nominees.
Neither has the republican party.
Tie Independent democratic ticket,
which is partly made up of employees
Of the Amalgamated, is connected to
tina extent with that corporation, and
the members of that party will no doubt
|ute against the ticket whose organ, the
Butte Miner, a few days ago declared
that the issue in this county is the Peo-
pie VS.. the A~malgamared. Naturally,
therefore,, the employees of that corpora
tion, desiring to keep it's mines in oper-
alton, and fully understanding that the
democracy proposes to close them down,
will vote the Independent democratic
ticket. And the Miner may call that the
A~malgamated ticket, and the Standard
an Amalgamated organ, If it pleases.
But the republican party has nothing
all legitimate mining companies, and
pledges them all the equal protection OF
the law. It is the party of the people.
1t offers a safe political haven for all
men who are tired of the ~squabbling de-
mocracy and who desire to see the peace
and reputation Of this community re-
established.

both of labor and capital, in this great
district has been the law. 1t has been
upheld with equal zeal by both. At
times in the legislature there have been
differences of opinion as to measures in
troduced affecting labor and capital. but
they have always been amicably settled
and the affairs of the companies anu
their employees ave gone on as before.
Never until now was the very exist
ence of a great mining company made
an issue in politics. Never did a political
convention d%eneunce a mining
on general principles in the hope of
making political capital for the benefit
of office seekers and of melting mine
employees against their employers. Never
did a candidate for the ~governorshl go
about the state promising his o-opera
ton With a policy which means the per-
secution II destruction of a mining
mpa Never did a leading news
| paper assert that the chief issue in a
presidential election year was that of
the people against such a mining COM
pany. Never was a deliberate plot con-
cocted to close down an enterprise which
employs 1000 men in the state and dis
tributes seven-eighths of the money paid
out for labor in the great city of Butte.
1t remains for the workingmen. and
particularly the miners of this county,,
to determine whether they will become
parties to this great outrage: whether
they will allow themselves to be used
to pull chestnuts from the fire of poll
tics for the benefit of a few desperate
men, and ultimately against the labor
interests: whether the miners of Butte
| propose completely to reverse their past
policy and become part of a political
machine which is incapable of doing
good.
The Inter Mountains supreme trust is
in the good sense, consistency and patri-
otism of the miners. They will not vote
the democratic ticket.

THE ICE TRUST AND THE SUGAR
TRUST.

So loud and long continued are the vOcif-
erations of democratic orators respecting
the iniuuity of trusts and their support
by the republican party, that 1T is well
once in a while to Iay a little attention
to their record on the subject. In point
of fact every law that has given any
promise OF correcting the evil during the
last half century that has been
brought forward, has had the sup
port of the republican party, and
been orposed, so far as oppo-
sition has existed, by the democrats.
Yet on account eff the prevailing tenden-
cy of the democratic party 20 hold the
republicans to account for changes in the
weather and every other manifestation
of natural law, it has applied the same
method, with equal blindness ito the solu-
ton of the trust problem.
The economic conditions coincident with
an increasing development of organized
society, have resulted in the formation of
gigantic trusts during the last few de-
cades, in ALL civilized countries. They
have been formed both where protection
prevails and where free trade is supreme.
They are simply a prominent manifesto
ton of irresistible tendencies. When we
understand how to control them, they
will be great blessings. on the
whole they are serious evils now. and
give promise of becoming greater ones,
few can deny. The republican party
pointed that out long ago, and against
strong democratic opposition, Sought to
enable h country to obtain the power to
regulate them, restrain them, to forbid

cidal policy of considering the mass of
the voters as ignorant of the record OF the
two parties, the democrats omit any
mention of fact and proclaim a list Uf in
ventions in the hope of trapping a few
votes.

'otton goods, boots and shoes and silk

cotton goods, boots and SHOES and silk
and rubber goods, are considerably
cheaper now han they were fifty years
ago All manufactured goods. with hard
ly an exception, are cheaper, mainly be-
cause of improved processes of manu-
f~acture, which enable the maker TO re-
duce the cost to the lowest point. The
development Of our vast arabic terri
tory in the west, northwest and SOUTH
west, and the striking results of irriga-
ton, when applied to were formerly
considered desert lands, have increased
our crop supplies more rapidly than the

predictions that prices of wheat, corn
and cotton must inevitably advance be-
cause little land remained to be cult

is hat millions of acres are still await

MONTANA'S WOOL INDUSTRY

The protective tariff is genraliy thought
of, as applicable only to the interests Of
capital and labor employed in. manufac-
turing industries. Even if this were all
it would add greatly to the comforts of
national life and to the we'll being of the
people. But back of all manufactures,
back of all other industries, are the occu-
pations of the stock raiser and the farm
er. Before any article can be fashioned
at the factory, the raw material must be
produced from it's original source in ma
ture. from h range, the mine or the
farm. Hence it is desirable that the gov
eminent should give these industries
such support as Is necessary to proper

BEAT THE GAME.

The Endorsement Of part of the regular
democratic ticket in Lewis and Clarke
county by the Independent democratic
convention, and particularly of the legis-
lative candidates, gives the snap away.
The plan is to elect a democratic legis-
lature. Whether the democrats are reg
ulars or independents will make no diff
ference. If, combined, they shall have
a majority they will vote together and
divide the scholarships. That is as cer-
ain as daylight. It is one of Mr.. John
r. Toole's shrewdest moves. -
There is one way to beat the game.
That is to send no democrats, either
regular or independent, to the legisla-
ture. The republican candidates are
safe, intelligent, patriotic men, and by
electing them the people will prevent
any democratic combination against the
states interests.
The division in the democratic ranks
is not so i~rreparable as it seems.

C|TY'S RIPARIAN RIGHTS.
Board of Trade Decides
to Discuss Them
Later.

The Board of Trade after a somewhat
lengthy executive session, did little BUSH
ness in open session. There was a dis
position to discuss the eity's riparian
rights on the Hackensack water 'front.'
but Mr.. Condict, of the Boards commit
tee having the matter in charge, said he
mad prepared a statement for the Mayor
and the Street and Water Board and ex-
pected meeting of the authorities shortly
to discuss the matter. He said he would
prefer not to make any report until after
that meeting. The Riparian Commissions
ers could give rights only to the owners
of the nplands. Mr.. Condict also pre-
ferred not to report the question of rights
of the city in the Morris street dock and
in the property from the foot of Hender-
son street to tide water until after the
meeting of the city authorities.
A motion was made to the effect that
the secretary prepare list of members
of the association in good standing. Sec
retary TAFT said he would have full list,
showing the status of each member, pre-
pared for the next meeting. The motion
was thereupen withdrawn
A communication or address from ths
Tariff Commission League, sent to COM
mercial organizations throughout the
United States, entitled Take the Tariff
Out of Politics" was received and referred
to the Committee on Commerce. 1t en-
closed a bill introduced in Congress in
1897, and declared that over 200 organiza-
tions out of 2.1O0 to whom the communica-
ton was addressed endorsed the bill with
out amendment. The communication fur
ther set forth that owing to the war with
Spain and other circumstances incident
thereto the League was unable to press
its passage until the present time. Atten-
ton was called to the fact that the Re-
publican platform contained plank in
favor of such a department with the idea
of having a commission created in time
for the President to appoint it's secretary
on March 4, 1901.
The treasurer's report was received ana
filed.
Andrew ]. Corcoran, of the COMMITTEES
on Pan-American Congress, reported that
Governor VOORHEES, had declared that it
was too late to get together to make a
proper exhibit. The committee was dis
charged with thanks from further con-
sideration of the subject.
