conda Standard, said silver is on Of
politics. and proved it by figures which
no democrats organ in Montana ever
tried to c~ontrovert. The simple truth is
that both parties are against silver. but
only one party has the courage to say 50.
The other is holding the hope of silver
to the peoples lips and breaking 1t to
their hearts. On all other Montana in
dustries the record of the republican
party is such that we challenge COMPARE
son with that of the democracy. Where

the Anaconda Standard know the an

the fairness to tell the truth. 1t has
itself confessed within the past two
months that the policy of expansion

is true of copper is true of every other

THE STATE CONVENTION.

So much confidence has the Inter
Mountain in the patriotism, conserva-
tism and good sense of the republican
party that it has undertaken to give 10
advice to the Al delegates who will on
Wednesday meet in state convention at
the state capital.
They will act as patriots rather than
partisans, and will not be unmindful of
the fact that to them has been intrusted
the task of providing a better govern
ment for the state: of doing their share
towards providing for the restoration of
the states good lame abroad, and of
sending a message of hope to the lead
ers of the party as to the stand Montana
will take in the coming presidential cleo
ton.
There is reason to believe that the con-
vention will be made up of men who are
armed so strong in honesty that any
effort to create a division by the circu-
lation of alarmist rumors, or the use of
non or falsehoods about corporate die
tation. which does not and would not
be allowed to exist, will end in dismal
II significant failure.
A state ticket will be nominated, the
very names of which will be a sufficient
answer to calumny.
A platform will be adopted, plain,
fearless, complete, patriotic, having re-
gard to every class of people, every occu-
patton and industry and every section
of the commonwealth, a platform which
shall take care of the laborer in the
exercise of every human right and the
enjoyment of every available blessing,
and pledge protection and equal justice
to every man who invests his money
to develop the states resources.
With such a ticket and such a plat
form the republican party ran conf
IDENTIFY face the people, and with union
and enthusiasm will put up such a battle
that the only result will be a sweeping
victory.

as also the drop in the figures of that
administration below the figures of the
Harrison administration.
or the exports for 1900, 81 per cent was
of manufactures and 81 per cent of ag-
ricultural products. This leads natu-
rally to a consideration of the farming
industry. The statistics show that the
FARMERS have ~prospered under Mckin-
leys administration equally with the
manufacturers merchants and artisans.
The total value of horses, sheep and cat
tie in the United States in January, 1895,
was Sl.541, 1916, $3.50: in January, 1900, 3D.
o42.S4 .S13-an increase under Mckinley
of $5ol .444,474, or nearly 80 1-3 per cent.
The increase in New York state. by the
way. has been $26. 426. O55: in New Jersey,
s.. 262, 104. Every single state and terri
tory shows an increase, n not one a
decrease. The value of the principal
crops has been much greater under Nc
Kinley h under the preceding demo-
cratic low-tariff administration. For eX-
ample, the value of the wheat crop was,
in round numbers. $255, 000, 900 in 1894, and
$780,. 900, 900 in 1898. OF course the value
of a crop depends greatly on it's size and
quality, but it also depends greatly upon
the demand for it, at home and abroad,
and the official tables show that in 1894
the wheat retained for domestic con-
sumption was only 3.41 bushels per
capita, and the export of wheat was 1884,
DOC, 900 bushels. While in 1898 the amount
retained for domestic consumption vas
4.21 bushels per capita, and the export
was 217, O00, 900 bushels. The export price
per bushel in the two years named was
respectively IS cents and SO cents. The
figures for corn, cotton and other i'm
portant crops are similar to those for
wheat.

is found in the records of the savings
banks. The following figures are in

TEE OLD ARGUMENT.

1t is a noteworthy fact that not n
democratic paper in Montana is pre-
senting to it's readers this year an argu-
ment in favor of the free coinage of sill
yer. Not n of them ever undertakes
to show the need of bimetallism in this
country or point out the evils of a single
standard. On this subject the demo-.
cratic organs are as silent as their can-
didate himself, who is going about the
country claiming to favor silve when he
meets a silver audience and saying not
a word on the subject when he can pos
sibly avoid SO doing. Four years ago
the Montana democratic organs and the
silver republican organs were full of the
silver argument, and they had reason
then for their views. There was a
scarcity of circulating medium. There
was lack of employment. Interest was
high. Farm products We're low. For
these four reasons, in the main, men de-
manded silver coinage, honestly believ-
ing it to be a remedy. Time and events,
however. have completely reversed the
situation. Money is not scarce, bu
plentiful. Labor is fully employed at
good wages. Interest is lower than ever
known before. The farmer gets good
prices for what he raises. The silver ar
gument, therefore. has lost it's force. A
paper which should present the old ar
gument now and talk about the money
contraction and the high rates of in
terest and point to several millions of
men out of work and claim that the
others were earning only a pittance and
that the farmers were in distress and
getting deeper int debt-such a paper
would be laughed at. People ould think
it edited by a crazy man. or a con
firmed falsiher. The silver republican
press. realizing the changed conditions,
has returned to the support Of he re-

THE ECCENTRICITY OF ROOSE
WELT.

Chicago Tribune: Charles A. Towne of
Duluth, Mimi, who has been posing for
several months as a martyr to the sacred
cause of free silver, has just answered"
/ the speech of Governor Roosevelt, deliv-
cred before the national convention of
the League of Republican, Clubs at st.
Paul. Mr.. Towne has been chiefly note
, worthy heretofore as a man who has
bolted one party II declined a nominal
ton from another. Now he has gained
almost national Importance as the demo-
cratic champion, chosen to enter the
arena Of debate against the idol of the
young republicans.
The climax and keynote of Mr.. Towne's
speech is the charge that Theodore
Roosevelt is eccentric. their vice
presidential candidate is even a pre-
destined and in~corrigible eccentric
when viewed from the standpoint of the
average politician. is a statement to
which republicans will take no eXcep-
ton. In fact, they may we'll afford to
glory in it and might even furnish q
bill of particulars for the benefit of
democratic spellbinders who may feel
inclined to follow the same line Of argu-
ment.
In the first place. Governor Roosevelt
is eccentric. from the politicians stand
point. in the absolute fearlessness in
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1900-09-04

which he expresses his views on public
questions. He is eccentric, in the dogged
persistency with which he sticks to the
right in disputed questions, overruling
in so doing the threats and e%ntreaties
of self-seeking politicians. He is eccen-
trio in making principle his guide in
practical politics. He is eccentric in
allowing his patriotic feeling to carry
him further than mere speech-making.
1t was an extremely eccentric thing. as
a politician looks at it, for a public man
to risk his precious life in leading .
charge up San Juan hill. 1t may as
we'll be admitted that the public career
of Governor Roosevelt Is a perfect tan
gle of eccentricities which 'Dick' Croker
and other great democratic. statesmen
will never be able to understand. They
may as well give it up.
1t Is believed, however, that the great
majority of the American people are
quicker to understand and appreciate the
particular form of eccentricity for which
Governor Roosevelt is distinguished.
They know that if there was more &C.
centricity of the same, kind on the part
of public men there would be less cor
ruption in public Office and a constant
Improvement in the public service. They
know that the eccentricity which leads
a mar to place the welfare of the coun-
try higher than his own personal in
terests is a rare enough thing in con-
temporary politics to deserve recognition
and encouragement.
Unless Mr.. Towne and his fellows car
ma a more serious charge to bring
against the republican candidate for the
vice presidency they will do well, from
a party standpoint, to develop a little
eccentricity of their own in the direction
of maintaining a dignified and non-com-
initial silence

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1900.
REPUBLICANISM IN MONTANA

Said the Anaconda Standard yester-
day:
The republican party has been the chief
factor in destroying silver as a money
metal in this country, thereby deprivlng
it Of it's most important use, restricting
the demand for it and lowering it's price.
The same party has now enacted legisla-
ton which it is hoped by the leaders of
the party will make the metal a none
tary outcast for all time. And yet we
have republican newspapers prating
about the great things the Mckinley adj
ministration has done for Montana.
Lest some good man might be induced
to believe the foregoing, it should be
stated that when last the democratic
party acquired power the government
was and rad been for many years. pur-
chasing 4,50O, 900 ounces of silver every
month, thus providing a market for -four
at the going price. It kept the silver
mills and silver mines working. When
Cleveland was elected and when both
houses of congress were democratic and
the republicans powerless, h vital
Clause of the law authorizing silver pur-
chases was repealed and the result was
that nearly every silver mine and mill
in the United States was closed down.
That is history. That is the record of
the last democratic administration. No
sane and sober man who will look up the
books on the subject will come to any
other conclusion.
1t is true that after the democratic
party had utterly wrecked and ruined
h silver industry the republicans
placed on the statute books a single
standard law to put an end to the exist
ing financial uncertainty. 1t received
the support of many democrats in the
house, but the republican party was
solely responsible for it. The republican
party is opposed now to free coinage. So
Is the democratic party. At the Kansas
City convention silver got a place in the
platform only through the votes of
Prince David of Hawaii and a delegate
from Oklahoma Territory. Bryan. in his
speech Of acceptance. did not mention
the white metal. The New York Journal,
