democratic parties. 4
The crops were just as good under
as they have been under Nc
Kinley, and hungry mouths had to be
Ted in the same way, but through the
application of what was practically q
free trade system to American COM
merce local producers could not realize
adequate margin on their sales,
hence poverty stalked abroad in the land,
and the more property a man had the
poorer he was. With the reapplication
of republican business methods to the
affairs of this country, confidence was
restored, trade relations regained their
normal condition, and gradually pros
perity returned to the people. The
change which took place after the demo-
Icratic regime had been displaced by a
administration was not a
Sudden revolution in nature-not 8 mir
aculous Transformation in the physical
conditions of the earth-not a marvel
Gus metamorphosis that made the ster-
lie wastes produce good crops, or en-
idowed mankind with a greater desire
for victuals-but merely a change of
business management, which enabled
the people to enjoy the natural advan-
tases of trade and commerce which be-
longed to them.
Good practical sense in the handling OF
national affairs may not have created
prosperity, but it has allowed prosper
lity-which is always knocking at our
doors-to return and take up her abode
under the American flag. Under a DEM
@iocratic regime, the goddess OF good Tor
tune was turned out of doors, to wan

was not permitted to wave her ever
iwilling wand over the heads OF the peo-
pie. The election of Mckinley redeemed
the outcast; and robed in purple anu

HAS COME TO STAY

There seems to be a concensus of
opinion that the eight-hour movement
has come to stay, and that insofar as
Montana is concerned all underground
workers will sooner or later enjoy the
operations of that system. When the
Inter Mountain SO warmly advocated an
eight-hour law in the past, it was in
the belief that the justice of the posi-
ton taken would ultimata'v demon
strate itself. 1t is said to be an i'll wind
that blows nobody good, and if, in the
curious transmutations of political life
in this city, a recognition of the right
has come about, there is abundant cause
for congratul~tion.
Like all great reforms for the benefit
of humanity, the eight-hour system is an
evolution from the ancient forms of ser

Prominent silver men within democrat

But to those who, aside from their
views on silver, I'VE given their best
energies to the republican party, the
methods pursued by Bryan in bringing
the gold elements of his party into line
become in%tolerable.
Among those who have recently defin-
ed their position in the present campaign

of Utah-men who gave Bryan their
most arden support in 1s96-namely.
Governor Heber M. Wells, Thomas
Kearns and Charles E. Loose.
Though Bryan leaders in the late presi-

of President Mckinley.
In 1896 each of these men contributed
$25, 900 toward the election of Bryan.

Remembering how Walter used to pay

Kansas City to try to get a seat for his
brother.
No matter what a ant standing may
be, he wants a sea when he goes to a
national convention.
Charlie is willing to squeeze into the
gallery, or into some crack in the wall,
or hang his chin over the rim of one of
lBryan's protraits, but he must get a seat
for Walter.
There is some suspicion that Walter
was placed on the delegation in order to
get Charlie to intercede personally with
Bryan in behalf Of the DAILY crowd, re-

everybody knows that the boy orator

men were essentially slaves. being al

step their conditions have improved UNI

long step is taken in the direction OF

THE HARTMAN RRD7AERS.

In intianating that Walter Hartman
was elected a delegate to Kansas
City by the DAILY rump convention, in
stead of his brother Charles, out of con-
,sideration for the feelings of the Inter
mountain, the Anaconda Standard in
vites a discussion of their respective
merits.
While Walter Hartman has always
borne a good reputation, until he made
the same mistake that poor Did dog Tray
once made, and got into bad
his sudden prominence in the DAILY side
show. posturing on the %acrobatic repu-
tation of his extinguished brother, sub
jects him to the usual attention which
greatness provokes wherever it may be
found.
1t is related of the Hartman brothers
that when they first came to Montana,
and opened up the law office in which
the alleged silver republican commit
tee met the other day, it was decided
that they should draw cuts, to see
which one of the firm should be a re-
publican and which one should be a
democrat.
Through some strange fatality, which
may never be known till GabrieIs trum-
pet aWakens the quick and the dead,
Charlie drew the republican straw
though his tendencies were all demo-
cratic and his neck seemed to be espe-
,cially built to fit almost any collar he
could ram his think-tank through.
Walter, whose mind ran in republican
channels, drew the democratic straw
and from that time on their politica
careers diverged.
According to the Standard. whik
Charles was winning worldwide re.
nown, on account of having drawn thu
lucky straw, Walter, who drew rhe un
lucky straw, staid at home n rustlet
the dudads to pay his brothers boarl

PARTY RESPONS iBiLI7IES.

Months ago the Inter Mountain stated
that what the democratic party needed
more than anything else was a panic.
Something in the shape Of a financial
crash. resulting in widespread poverty
and the destruction of values, would
have been heartily welcomed by politi-
clans of the bourbon type. They realize
that the good times, following SO closely
upon the heels of the disasters which
overlook the country during the late
democratic administration, V greatly
strengthened the republican party.
For a long time they e~ndeavored to
persuade the people that the dawn of
prosperity was a myth, that the revival
of business and the strengthening of
values We're Pigments of an over-heated
by, and the evidences of prosperity be-
came so marked as to directly or indi-
rectly affect the interests of all, the ar
guments of the bourbon malcontent be-
and a change of tactics became neces-
sary. The attempt to destroy returning
confidence and stem the tide of pros
perity, gave way to an effort to show
that even if good times have returned to
the country, the republican party is not
responsible for them.
Forced to admit that the country has
recovered from the horrible condition of
affairs which Clayalandisno had foistad
upon the people, the highest duty of the
democratic press at the Threshold of a
presidential campaign seems to be to
prove that the good times We're inevita
bile. and in no sensA cite TO the superior
generalship of the republican party in
the affairs of state. The task before the
bourbon organs is a difficult one, for in
the admission that prosperity is actually
here, regardless of its cause, they mus
concede that a republican administra.
ton does not prevent the people from
enjoying that luxury, hence is not a bat
thing to have at the head of cur gov
>rnment. By the same reasoning it fol
bows that if the democratic party is no
the cause of national disasters and uni
versal poverty, it is at least powerles
to prevent that state of affairs from
arising.
II the democratic press can succeed Il
proving, in the light Of a compariso
between C~levelandism and McKinleyisn
that the safeguards of the democrac
are preferable to those thrown out b

ADEMOCRATIC TRICK.

A good example of the methods the
democrats are using to damage the ad'
minis.rstion is found in the following
false report of the fizzle OF Saturday
night, sent out from here by some
correspondent to the San Antonio Elk
press:
DENOUNCE PORTO RICAN TARIFF
Ell PAso, Tex, March 31.-tSpeciaD.
"A general mass Meeting, irrespec-
tive of party lines, was held at the city
hall here tonight and resolutions pass
ed denouncing the Porto Rtcan tariff
bill. The meeting was well attended
by republicans as we'll as democrats.
Copies of the resolutions will be for
warded to the United States senate and
house OF representatives.
Similar reports were sent out to many
other newspapers all over the country,
In deliberate effort to misrepresent
the facts.
The truth was published in yester-

consistent repub lican. He himself
says there was no other ''republican"
In attendance, unless the free silverite
democrat Clifford be 20 regarded.
Mr. Howard, who was ore of the
signers OF the call, was so disgusted
when he fret reached the hall, be-
cause of the absence Of mass meeters
and the lack OF light, that be was in
clined to go away at once. But by nine
O'Clock he had twenty supporters.
Among these were Ben Cstlin, r. j.
Clarke, Joe Magoffin. G. G. Wimber-
~. Henry Ware Allen, Billy Bridgers,
Harry Wood, Judge Crosby, George
Ogden, O'Brien Moore, Judge Harper,
Homer Ellie, Judge Kemp, Harry
Chairman, and five others.
Here is the truth. Now how do the
people of Ell Paso like to have such
false report go abroad as that quoted
above? 1t is low bit OF trickery,
whoever Is father OF it.
And as suggested yesterday. just at
this time Ell Pa5o is doing her best to
get the ad ministration to push the in
tern atioual dan. A deliberate slap In
the face is no doubt the best way to
achieve the desired purpose.

is n Alaska, Southern California. Flo

instance, for three months he will
