THE GOSPEL OF POLITICS.

The text of the state republican
platform appears in this issue.
1t declares against trusts in re-
straint of trade, and all unlawful
combinations of capital.
1t invites and welcomes capital to
de 'elop the states resources, to give
employment to labor and create
homes and occupation for the people.
1t declares against entangling al
liances with democracy, or with any
faction of democracy, and asserts the
ability of the republican party to
correct abuses and give the state
good government.
1t declares for the election of sem
ator by direct popular vote.
1t declares that eight hours should
in this state be working day, which
declaration, being supplementary and
confirmatory of the various county
pledges on the same behalf, puts the
party irrevocably on record for a
shorter working day as a wise, hu,
man and beneficial reform in the in
terest of the toiling thousands.

latest and best ideas for absolute COM
fort and luxury while travelling.
Besides the splendid buffet library car

tors in ability and influence and has
wholesome and beneficient legislation
that republican congresses have enrolled
upon our statutes.
That the republican party of Montana
invites and welcomes the investments of
capital that are conducive to the indus
trial development of our state and the
employment of labor, and assures them
of the protection of equal and just
rights. At the same time it insists that
injurious combinations shall be forbid
den; that corporations shall be limited
to their Legitimate functions, and that
so-called trusts shall be regulated by the
enforcement of The existing law, or ad-
ditional legislation, if necessary, so that
they shall not restrict competition and
unduly increase the prices of commodi-
ties or stife Independent agencies of
production.
That we regard with Indignation and
shame the odium that was cast upon our
state by the corrupt methods employed

and express our unqualified condem-
nation of the republican members of the
sixth legislative assembly who cast their
| votes for William A. Clark
We condemn all bribery and pledge
the republican party to pursue those who
practice it with our laws and our courts.
That the republican party has no part
to perform in the rivalries and conten-
| tions of democratic leaders and factions
that it will form no entangling alliances
and will not be debauched by promises
of money or votes, but will carry on the
present campaign true to the declara-
tions of the republican platform and to
the everlasting principles of truth and
honesty.
That in pun suance of the traditional
AMI unfailing policy of the republican
party to seek by all practical and lawful
means the advancement of the interests
and welfare of the working classes, we
recommend that the hours of labor be
limited to eight hours per day.

That we offer welcoming hand to all
voters, without regard to their past ties
of party, who recognize the fact that
the policies of republican legislation
and administration embody the only as
surance that the great republic for all
succeeding years shall enjoy prosperity
at home and honor abroad.

DEMOCRACY GONE TO SEED.

BY their fruits We shall know them.
Do men gather figs of thistles, or
grapes of thorns?
The above epigramatic statements
are found in the Great Falls Tribune ;
but it is lurkingly suspected that the
Tribune borrowed them from an old
reader. AT any rate, they are the
best thoughts seen on the second
page of the Tribune for many day.
Do men expect w. A. Clark to
purify the politics of Montana? He
is already self confessed criminal
of the blacklist kind. "By their
fruits ye shall know them"
DO men expect the democratic
party in Montana to bring glory and
honor to the state during the next
four years. They have had the glori-
GUS opportunity of the past quad
rennial. The Democrats of Mon
tana are barren and unfruitful. Men
do not gather figs of Canada thistles.
Reforms are needed in the ex-
ecutive, legislative and judicial de-
partments of our once glorious COM
monwealth. Shall we try democratic
misrule again? BY their fruits ye
shall know them.
The Hon. M. G. from Montana is so
little known in Washington that even
the door keeper doesn't recognize
him. 1t is doubtful if the speaker
ever saw him. He is a nice man.
but "by their fruits ye shall know
them"
The governor is probably the
squarest one of the whole lot. But
he has so much private law business
that the willy lieutenant runs the
place most of the time, and sells out
the chief at every opportunity. Then
it must be borne in mind that Gov.
Smiths prayers are not fervent
enough for the needs of our state.
They never acknowledged receipt of
the last one, which goes to show it
wasn't even heard.
The superintendent of schools, and
the attorney general, have each play
ed for rap across the knuckles, but
the public is SO thoroughly disgusted
with the whole business that such
sturdy bourbonites as the Tribune
can say nothing to improve the mat
ter. There is an old parable about
a husbandman who planted vine
yard, and when he would have
gathered grapes, behold the vineyard
brought forth wild grapes. The
Tribune ought to read that parable,
and see what is to happen to demo-
cracy. The husbandman didn't do a
thing to his vineyard, only pillow it
up and SOW it in alfalfa to raise whis.
kers for the populist party.
Tommy Hogan, the only really
upright state officer, is a populist,
and democrats have no credit upon
his honor.

or figs of thistles? BY their fruits
ye shall know them"

REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM.

Resolved that the republicans of Mon

principles and policies adopted by the

! adelphia.
That we declare our earnest and unit
ed purposes to support those splendid
types of American manhood and Ameri-
can craftsmanship VIM. Mckinley and
Theodore Roosevelt, the republican can
didates for president and vice president.
That we congratulate our fellow citi-
zens of Montana upon the results which
followed the success of the republican
party of the United States in 1896,
which are to be seen in the rescue of our
state from its slough of stagnation and
! despair, in the revival of our industries,
the employment of our laborers at liberal
| wages and return of prosperity that
extends to all sections of the state and
to all classes of citizens engaged in pro-
ductive pursuits.
That we recognize in the democratic
party the historical and persistent enemy
of the policy of protection to American
| industries, and that we warn the voters
of Montana that its success in the COM
ing election would be fatal to the exist
ing legislation to which we are so largely
indebted for the earnings of our labor
ers, the prices of our products and the
prosperity that has revisited our state.
That we commend the action of the
national administration IN China, in the
Philippines, in Cuba and Porto Rico as
wise, just, patriotic and humane, and we
declare our implicit and unwavering con-
| tidence in the ability of the republican
party and nc other, to solve all the pro-
blems respecting our new possessions in
manner that shall shed new honor on
the republic and win the appreciation
and applause Of all loyal Americans.
That we extend our heartfelt thanks
to the volunteers of Montana, who so
nobly bore their part in upholding the
flag of their country upon the field of
battle. To the memories of our fallen
heroes we offer a tribute of gratitude
and veneration and the assurance that
they shall not be dishonored by dis
crediting the cause for which they laid
down their lives or the furling of the
stars and stripes in the lands that are
subject to the sovereignty of the United
States.
That we are in favor of the election
of United States senators by direct vote
of the people.
That. we heartily approve the action
of Hon. Thomas Fl. Carter in the senate
of the United States and commend his
diligent attention to the wants of his
constituents, his laborious and efficient
devotion to the interests of Montana and
his loyalty to the principles of the re-
publican party. In single term he has
advanced to the foremost rank of sena-

THE GUZZLING RECORD.

The American people can be proud
of their temperate ways when they
look over the record of the drinkers
across the water. A British Parlia-
mentary report just out gives the
drinking statistics of the world for
1896-7-8. OF the four principal
nations the French drink the most
wine, their consumption being $685.
100000 gallons, or 24.25 gallons per
capita. The Germans are second,
with 7S,00O,0O0 gallons, or 1.5 per
capita. The British drink less in the
aggregate, but more per capita of
wine than the United States, the
British figures being 100000 gal
Ions, or A per capita, and the Ameri-
cans 2l,OOO,OO0 gallons, or 3 per
capita. But when it comes to beer,
the British lead. They consumed
l,25O,OOO,0OO gallons, or BIB for
every man, woman and child in the
United Kingdom. The Germans are
not much behind. Their consump-
ton was 382,000,O0O gallons, or 26
per capita. In several separate
States of Germany the consumption
per capita is greater than in Great
Britain, the Bavarians being the
great beer drinkers of the world,
with 80 gallons apiece to their credit,
while the people of Wurtemburg con-
sumo 43 gallons. The United States
consumed 92O,O0O,OOO gallons of
beer, or l2.6 per capita, ranking
ahead Of France, which drank 205,-
100000 gallons, or 5.3 per capita.
Beer drinking is on the increase in
England, France and the United
States.

The greatest trouble with demo

trade in the manufacturing districts
and the consent of the governed is
