"The platform accurately describes the Dingley
tariff law when it condemns it 'trust-breeding

which they do not deserve and to place upon the
many burdens which they should not bear Under
its opemtion trusts plunder the people of the
United States, while they successfully compete in
foreign markets with manufacturers of other coun-
tries. Even those who justify the general policy Of
protection will find 1t difficult to defend II tariff
which enables trust to exact an exorbitant toll
from the citizen.

THE FINANCIAL PLANK.

The platform reiterates the demand contained in
the Chicago platform for American financial
system made by the American people for them
selves. The purpose of such system is to restore
and maintain bimetallic level of prices. and in
order that there may be no uncertainty TO the
method of restoring bimetallism the specific deca-
ration in favor offree and unlimited coinage at the
existing ratio of l6 to independent of the action
of other nations is repeated.
'.In 1896 the Republican party recognized the
necessity for bimetallism by pedging the party to
earnest effort to secure an international agree
ment for the free coinage of silver and the Presi-
dent, Immediately after his Inauguration, by au-
thority of Congress, appointed commission com
posed of distinguished citizens to visit Europe and
solicit foreign aid. Secretary Hay, in letter writ
ten 10 Lord Aldenham in November. 1895. and
afterward published in England, declared that at
that time the President and majority of his Cabi-
net still believed in the great desirabity of an
international agreement for the restoration of the
double standard, but that 1t did not seem oppor
tune TO reopen the negotiations just then.
1.-THE financial law enacted less than year ago
contains concluding section declaring that the
measure was not intended 10 stand in the way of
the restoration OF bimeiallsm whenever it could
be done by cooperation with other nations. The
platform submitted TO the last Republican conven-
tion with the Endorsement of the Administration
again suggested the possibilities ofsecuring foreign
aid in restoring silver.

1.-The platform adopted at Kansas City commands
my cordial and unqualified approval. 1t courage
ously meets the issues now before the country and
states clearly and without ambiguity the party's
position on every question considered. Adopted
by convention which assembled on the anniyer-
sary of the signing of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, it breathed the spirit of candor, indepen-
dence and patriotism which characterized those
who at Philadelphia in l776, promulgated the creed
of the Republic.
Having in my notification speech discussed
somewhat at length the paramount issue. imperial
ism, and added some observations militarism
and the Boer war it is sufficient this time TO
view the remaining planks of the platform.

1.-The platform very properly gives prominence
to the trust question The APPALLING growth of
combinations in restraint of trade during the pres
ent administration proves concusiyely that the Re-
publican party lacks either the desire or the ability
10 deal with the question effectively. IT, may be
fairly assumed from the speeches and conduct of
the Republican leaders, that party does not intend
to take the peope's side against these organiza-
tious. then the weak and qualified condemnation
of trusts To he found in the Republican platform is
designed to distract attention while industrial des-
potism is completing its work
"a private monopoly has always been an outlaw.
No defence be made of au industrial system in

disc Under such a system the consumer suffers
extorlion; the producer OF raw material has but
one purchaser and must sell at the arbitrary price
fixed: the laborer has but one employer and is
powerless to protect against injustice. either in
holder is at the mercy of the speeulatCr. while the
travelling salesman contributes his salary to the
overgrown profits of the trust

of the Executive and the Republican members of

"The platform renews the demand for arbitration
between corporations and their employees. No one
who has observed the friction which arises between
great corporations and their numerous employees
can doubt the wisdom of establishing an impartial
court for the justand equitable settlement of dis
putes. The demand for arbitration ought to be
supported as heartily by the public. which suffers
inconvenience because of strikes and lockouts and
by the employers themselves as by the employees.
''The establishment of arbitration will insure
friendly relations between labor and capital and
render obsolete the growing practice of calling in
the army to settle labor troubles

INDEPENDENCE FOR CUBA.

to independence removes the general principle in

SMITHS TYPEWRITER rs FIXED.
Cakes Republican: In the Repub-
lican Office is an old Caligraph type
writer that has been in constant use
for about seven years. 1T has sat
around the Office uncovered, where
every summer breeze has filled its
Joints with the sands Of the earth; it
has been used for a waste basket, a
cuspidor and a coal scuttle; it has
worked nights and Sundays until this
week when it went on a strike; it
dropped stitches, lost time, its valves
stuck and it refused to feed. We took
it to Charley Andrews, the jeweler.
He never saw the inside of a tpye-.
writer before in his life, but he went
atitlike a maj who had done nothing
else for aHlifetime but make typewrit-
ers. He Strengthened the main shaft,
built a new diaphragm, shortened the
stroke, frightened up the screws,
scraped off the mud, and inside Of an

it runs like a young boy going to a
circus. and writes as fast as two men
car think. We would have taken
four dollars for it when we turned it
over to him for repairs, but today we
would not trade that old Caligraph for
any new typewriter on the market.

HURST IS HANGED.
Convicted Murderer Hanged 1T Glen
dive for Murder Of Cavanaugh
this Morning.
Protests His Innocence Of the Gallows,
andsSays He is Not the Murderer
Claimed.

Joseph Hurst was hanged ait Glen
dive at 2:30 o'clock this morning for
the murder Of Sherin gayanaugh at
Glendive in December, 1898.
s3 Hurst made an address from the
scaffold protesting his innocence, and
stated he was not the man who MUIR
dered Cavanaugh.
3Ihe Hurst case has been the most
interesting in many way in the Grim
51nal annals of Montana. The crime for
which he vas hanged was committed
on Christmas eve. The dead body OF
Sheriff Cavanaugh was found, beaten
and bruised, near a barn back of his
residence on the following day. Cir
$cumstantial evidence convicted Hurst
Of the murder, although one witness
testified that he saw Hurst following
Cayanaugh a little while before the
murder must have occurred. 1t trans
pred after the murder that Hurst had
made threats against Cavanaugh. The
w men had been rivals for the nom
nation for sheriff. Hurst had been
heard to say, according to testimony,
#lnat II Cavanaugh were elected he
would never live to take the office.
ASSi muTQeF HURST was
one Of the principal candidates for the
appointment to fill the vacancy and
lacked only one vote of the board Of
commissioners for the appointment.
there was a number of other cir
#cumstances brought out In the trial
that looked bad for Hurst. After his
conviction an appeal was taken to the
supreme court, but that tribunal held
That the suficiency Of the evidence was
Ia matter for the jury and refused to
interfere with the finding of the lower
court Final appeals were made to
Governor Smith, but he took the same
stand and destroyed the last hope OF
Ia communication of sentence.
Hurst was married and had a wife
and children. By many he was well
liked, n there were many who could
not bring themselves to believe he had
committed so coWard1y a crime. He
resided in Mandan for some time and
was well known in Bismarck. CAY
anaugh, the, murdered man, had a
brother living in Stutsman county.

MAKING IWINE.
First Product Of the Irvine Factory
Finished and Ready for Balling and
Shipment.
Aptitude Of the Prisoners Who Have
Been Broken in at the Plant
Since Starting.

The first Irvine has been made at
the state p%enitentiary plant. The first
of the product was spun the middle Of
the week and a hundred or more bob
bins were filled ready for balling. The
plant is now running with a force Of
about thirty prisoners. Eight were
broken in to various parts of the work
Yesterday four more will be added
today. The men show remarkable
aptitude for the work. The first ma
chimes used in the preparation Of the
the breakers are now in charge
OF the first four men who were broken
in last week. AT first it was neces-
sary for Superintendent Stiles to take
charge of the machines, but the pris-
soners are now familiar with their
workings and manage the machines
we'll.
As new men are broken in the pro-
duct of the plant will increase and the
amount of the Irvine turned out great
er. The work at the beginning is
necessarily slow, as men and machines
both have to be broken in to the work.
Editor Winship of the Grand Forks
Herald made a visit to the plant yes
terday IN company with several resi-
dents Of the city and brought back
EWith]him a piece Of the finished Irvine
as q souvenir. He was surprised at
the magnitude of the institution and
the general excellence OF the plant,
and says the people of the state gen
orally have no proper idea of the mag
nitude of the enterprise.
superintendent Stiles says he will
need about seYenty-fve prisoners in
the operation Of the plant and hopes
TO have them all broken in and at
work in the shortest possible time,
that the plant may be run to its capac-
5ity if desired.
