MAY LIE.

To the Inter Mountain: . z
A campaign article from the Indian
apolis Sentinel, appearing in the Miner Of
Wednesday morning on page 10, fur.
nishes another example of partisan,
blindness that refuses to see but one side
of the truth, that affects unconsciousnsss,
of all facts except those which furnish
arguments for it's own party principles.
This article, entitled debt Grows
Yearly purports to prove from condi-
tons in Indiana that the republican, cry
of prosperity is humbug and false pre-
tence. Instead of there being any de-
crease of mortgage debt in this state,',
says the Sentinel, "the mortgage debt,
real estate and chattel, has increased
during every yea of the Mckinley adj
ministratiOn. y y II AS will be seen
from the tables, there is a yearly in
crease of mortgages of all kinds both in
number and amount. In 1897 there were
62,3S9 new mortgages recorded and only
81, ass satisfied. In 1898 there were 72,257
mortgages recorded and S,649 satisfied.
In 1899 there We're 4 1920 mortgages re-
corded n 1904 satisfied. The differ
ence between the amounts of the new
mortgages recorded and those satisfied
shows the increase of the mortgage debt
each year." Then are given the follow
ing statistics: -
Increase of debt, 1897 .........S SIG, 500, 361
Increase of debt, 1898 :......... Is, 294, S96
Increase of debt, 1899 100000. S,552,116
No republican pretends to deny these
figures, but it is clear that they do not
prove what is claimed for them. They
prove nothing but that, during each year
of Mckinley's administration, the
amount of the new mortgages recorded
exceeds the amount of those satisfied:
they do not demonstrate that this *
cess has been greater in Mckinley's ad
ministration than in the democratic adj
ministration preceding in 1887. What
the Sentinel terms increase" of debit is
not increase of debt at all. For instance,
it says, increase of debt in 1897, $16.SO9.-
$751;" when these figures represent mere
ly the increase of new mortgages record
ed over old mortgages satisfied. In Or
der to show the increase or mortgages
in 1897, the figures for 1896 must f be
shown. The statistics for Cleveland's
second term are not at hand. but the
statistics above given indicate that the
real increase of debt for 1898 is 81, 4S5, 535
ii. e., SIS, 294. s96 above given by the Sens
tinel for 1898. minus SIG. 500. 361, for 1890
an increase ~unfavorable to republican
administration. but the figures for 1890
show a remarkable decrease of s9,742, 7SC
q. e., SIG, 294, SOC minus IS, 552, 116).
AS regards the number of mortgages,
as distinguished from the amour rep
resented in dollars, the figures are even
more favorable to the republican claim
of prosperity. The excess of the mum
bers recorded for 1897 over the humble,
satisfied is 1901 (62.3S9 minus 80, 4SS)
this excess for 1898 is a mailer number
IS, COS C2.257 minus 4s,649). and for 1S9;

Let. Mr.. Sovereign explain his hostility

charged by President Boyce, before try
Butte.
Let every patriotic American vote for
law and order. peace and plenty, prop
erty and personal rights, as defined and
defended in the republican state and
county platform. Fusion simply stands
for Doodle, dishonor. the closing of mines
and the Wholesale discharge of labor i'll

Let Mayor Mccarthy, for the credit
and honor of Butte, appoint policemen to
disorder and interruption. If he will do
that he will crafty all law and order
citizens. There will be a republican
meeting here tomorrow night.
Let all men remember that the repub-
licans of Silver Bow county are in favor
of eight hours as a matter of justice. not
for political expediency. Put eight hours
into the statutes and it will stay there.
Let mining %litigants settle their cases
in the courts, not at the polls, and lei
the courts represent the people, not the
barrel, in politics.
Let no laboring man believe the
cooked up yarns of the street politicians
who are getting $40 a day for telling bet
ter and brighter men than themselves
how TO vote.
Let no laboring man give serious at
tention to the paid agitators who seek
to create alarm about wages. Wages
are as safe as the everlasting hills. For
seven-eighths of the miners in Butte the
fusion chiefs do not propose to reduce
wages, but to abolish them by closing
down the mines in which labor is en-

FOR THE PEOPLE TO DECIDE.

.iW r
For the Amalgamated company itself
the Inter Mountain does not care two
cents except for the business and bene-
fits it creates for the people of Montana.
But it has a right to the protection Of
the law and the people in their own in
teresthave a right to resist the dastardly
fusion plot to drive it out of business.
The mining companies of Butte are all
entitled to the credit of being factors
in the states growth. They are all en-.
titled to the equal protection of the law.
Their employees are law abiding, patrl-
otto men. who hould insist on every
right the law guarantees or humanity
suggests. This asks for all
companies justice and protection from
the voters and business men. 1t asks only
that no mines be closed down and tina
no political party which proposes to
close them down shall be given public
support. The Inter Mountain would de-
fend all companies from persecution and
robbery and all laborers from coercion,
and the company of paid demagogues or
the temptations of corruptionists. But
1t warns the business men of this COM
munity, and the clerks assembly, the
real estate owners the h~ouseholders,
and all others who depend now on
Butte's vast and increasing business,
that if they or any of them, for any per-
sonal reasons or for any minor business
consideration or any personal friendship
or personal animosity assist the fusion
party in this campaign, and if that party
wins, it warns them that the fusion
party, under it's present control, will do
all it car to drive the Amalgamated
company out of business in this camp;
that the fusion party threatens and
fully intends so to harass and prosecute
the big by special legislation
and by judicial outrages that it will
have to close down in self defense until
such time as it can successfully claim
the protection of the law. That is the
purpose of fusionisln. The company IS
making money, and wants, naturally, to
continue in business, but Joseph X.
Toole and his crowd say it shall not.
He is going about the state cursing
the and melting public
passion and prejudice against it by
calling it a trust and pointing to. the
democratic national platform which
demands the suppression of all trusts.

BUTTE P STOCKS.

It is true, as the Butte Miner says
Butte copper stocks are high.
This does not prove that the fusion
party is not trying to close down Butte
copper mines by ~denouncing their own
ership as a trust"
1t simply proves that the people of
the east have confidence in the law
abiding character of labor in Butte and
in h common sense of the people, and
that eastern investors do not expect flu
sion to win.
The value of Butte copper stocks rests
upon the supposed intelligence and pa
triotism of Montana voters.
Will those voters justify such conf
denee on election day or will they drive
out capital now here and keep other
capital from coming here?

elected? Do you want proof of h a
charge, Thomas Carter?
Mr.. Carriers worst enemies nave never
accused him of being a fool, and those
who know him have never thought him
capable of violating the laws of his
country. But he would have to be a very
bad man or a very crazy one to have
bought his seat in the senate by issuing
checks signed Thomas Carter" He was
on his way to the enate. not the peni-
tertiary, so he could not have issued
checks signed Thomas Carter" which
every member of the legislature GER
tainly knew was not his full name, anG
which We're so obviously worthless that
the thirteen men referred to certainly
would noteven have pickedthem up from
the table, even had Mr.. Carterbeeninsane
enough to issue them. or had the thir-
teen men been depraved enough to ac>

porting to lave been signed "Thoma.

for an exposure of the criminal plot to

No doubt. for a sufficient sum-, a hun>

who would swear they had the original
of the alleged check signed Thomas

handed to them by that gentleman.
Hired p~erjurers are plentiful in this
campaign. as witness the registration
lists. padded by the fusion democracy
after the importation of the toughest
gang of repeaters and political thugs
that ever reached Butte from the vari-
Gus state prisons of the country.
The Inter Mountain has too much con-

of Montana to suppose any defense OF

vicious and baseless lies. Some of Mr..
Carriers detractors want his place in
Washington. some hate him because OF

INFAMOUS ATTACKS ON SENATOR
GARTER.

No man who can read and write will
expect Mr.. Thomas H. Carter to dignity
his detractors by paying any attention
to the ludicrous, senseless and baseless
questions the democratic press has re-
Gently asked him.. Their cowardly and
malevolent nature is a~bundantly proved
by the fact that the charges are implied
by a resort to questions and not made
directly, as they would be if there was
a particle Of truth behind them.
These charges the Inter Mountain here
ana now p~ronounces false in every sem
tence, line n word, and in every cover,
suggestion.
The paper which reproduced them in
Butte yesterday to the surprise of it's
respectable readers did not dare not
endorse those implied charges or state
that any one of them is true.
Were not the purpose behind them so
malignant, they would be vastly anus
ing. They are written in grandiose and
ddiotic style, beginning, Mr.. Carter,

In this course Mr.. Toole is backed by
the whole fusion horde, and every man
who has a lawsuit against the company
is working for fusion success, asking the
people to pull his chestnuts from the fire
and indorse the attack on a concern that,

eight hours and keep more who are in

shifts, is that any reason why all the
other mines of the district should be
closed and the city of Butte paralized?
The eight-hour day is inevitable. not as
a matter of charity but as a matter of
economy and justice. The republican
party in state and county is pledged to
eight hours, and every man on the re-
publican legislative ticket is in active
sympathy with that reform. The fusion
platform on the other hand is a fraud
in the eight-hour plank, for it contains

admit that the democrats are as much in

as hi republicans. The only difference
lis that the republicans are not attempt

classes for temporary effect, and are will

fusionists cannot do under their plat

and capital, against law and order
against good government, against prop.
