senator Carter at st. Paul.

Senator Thomas H.Carter was given
big reception Tuesday hight in st.
Paul, where he addressed large audi
ence of voters at the Auditorium. Sen
ator Carter told his great audience that
the republicans of Montana would elect
their entire state ticket. He said that
three years of unparalleled prosperity
under the administration of President
Mckinley have brushed the scales from
the eyes OF the voters of .he nation, and
from the limits OF the land, from Canada
to the Gulf of Mexico, from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, their ballots on November
& will sound the death knell of and for
ever doom free silver to its deserved OBJ
livion.
Senator Carriers speech, consuming
over an hour and a half, was confined
largely to the consideration of the con
ditions of the country during the admin
istration of Mr.. Mckinley, those existing
under the preceding democratic admin
istration, and the pretended issue, impe.
rialism. He said the democratic party
had always stood for a tearing down
policy the republican party for the ele-
walton of all men and the degradation
ot none. In 1892 factories from Name
to California were in full operation, se-
cure under the protecting care of sue
cessive republican administrations, la
bor was employed at satisfactory wage
the whole country was prosperous
happy. The national debt had been re-
duced by s25O,O00,O00, every line of com
Inercial activity was being built up and
strengthened. With the return OF the
democratic party into power came the
Wilson bill, business contraction, facto-
ries closed, great army OF artisans and
craftsmen became tramps,a a menace to
the country. The period beginning
with 1898 and ending with 1897 was one
of t.le black spots in our nations his
tory. With the election OF Mr.. McKin'
ley the pestilence of democratic misgoy-
ernment disappeared as if by magic.
From the slough of despond to which
the nation had been reduced it sprane
TO the high ground of activity unprece.
dented in the history of the republic.
From 1887 to 1897 the excess of exports
over imports of this country amounted
to $300000,0O0. IE little more than
three years OF Mr.. Mckinley's admins
tration the export exceeded the imports
by 81 l,4O0,000,00O.
Senator C4rter denied the disability
OF Imperialism and brought out the alb
surdity of the Bryan claim of militarism
He SAID Mr.. Bryan was personally In,
strumental in securing the ratification
ofthe treaty OF Paris by which the Phil
ippiue islands came into the possession
oi the United States Mr.. Bryan, be
said, resigned the command of his Ne
hraska regiment Of volunteers when il
was believed that regiment was about te
be ordered TO Cuba, and went to Wash
ington, where he personally importuneC
and secured the votes of sufficient demo
Gratis, populists and Silver republicans
to secure the ratification of the treaty ii
the United States senate. He said anti
trust legislation proposed by the repub
licans was defeated by the democrats q
the last session OF congress- and quotac
Congressman Richardson, the democrat
leader, who said to pass the proposed bil
would rob the democrats OF the trns
question in the pres .nt campaign Sen
ator Carriers speech received the closes
attention and was frequently interrup
ed by tumultnous bursts OF applause.
Contrary to program says the Pionee
Press, Senator Carter arrived from 81
Cloud Tuesday morning, instead OF q
2:45. He spent the morning with Sena
tor Cushman X. Davis and IN the after
noon received at the Windsor the con
mittee of prominent citizens apLointe
to welcome him to the city. The receI
ton was entirely informal, and duria
the afternoon many republicans an
citizens paid their respects to the dis
tnguished visitor, who has become
st. Paul, as elsewhere, favorite. In th
s, evening he dined with party OF pc:
sonal friends and acquaintance, goin
directly from dinner to TIE Auditorium
