Russia has just placed an order
with United States firm for 6, 900, :
600 pounds of beef on the hoof to
feed the Russian army in China. We
call to the attention of the Salt Lake
Tribune that this business is because
of war, and neither the transpo
ton companies or the rasers Of beef
can credit it up to the gold standard
except as the gold standard lncites
to territorial conquest and leads TO
war. 1t is the same way with the
big bacon order given a Kansas City
firm the other day by our own gov
eminent for our army in China.

The farmers of the Palouse coun-
try are circulating the following pc
tition to the Northern Pacific
''We, the undersigned, citizens of east
ern Washington and patrons of your
road, respectfully petition and represent:
That being heavy shippers, our interests
are closely identified with yours; that
during the present season, owing to the
low price of grain, and the high price of
labor, sacks, Irvine, and all things per-
tanning to placing our grain on the mar
ket, we will have nothing left after the
sale OF the 1900 crop, unless we get re-
lief OF some kind; that this condition
would materially decrease the incoming
and outgoing freight in this section for
several years to come; that owing to the
present freight rate from this section to
the coast coupled with high charters
caused by foreign wars, we can see no re-
lief in view unless your road would de-
clare an emergency and assist us in this
crisis by making an emergency rate on
wheat of not more than % cents per
bushel to Chicago or 20 cents per bushe
to Duluth, Minneapolis and st. Paul;
that your petitioners would greatly APP
preciate such action and know that only
through such a measure will eastern
Washington and neighboring territory
be able to avoid a crash similar to the
one of 1893 a repetition of which would
be equally disastrous to you and to us;
that it is absolutely necessary for the
mutual benefit of your road and your
petitioners that you act favorably and
promptly.
How have those toiling farmers
been helped by the gold standard2
While unusual causes have temper
arily relieved things in some channels,
their property is still measured by a
redemption money which has been
cut in two. Their products must
still buy money which has been cur
tailed in its supply by law. The
ratio of property to money Is still as
it was in SO and with all the famine
and short crops their wheat will not
buy enough money to pay the ex-
tortions of transportation monopolies
and trusts and leave the producer

AN EVADER.

AN Ef ADEh.
The Weiser Signal is very bitter toward
the purchase of the Philippines. Why.
then, does it not arraign Mr.. Bryan for
resigning from the army to rush to
Washington TO urge the ratification of
the treaty with Spain? 1t declares that
the $50, 900, 900 paid to Spain for the
Philippines would have reclaimed the
entire arid region of the West" How
long since the Democratic party became
the champions of internal Improvements?
How long since the Democratic party
began TO be concerned about the arid
lands of the West? The lands have been
here good while. When did the Demo
cratic party propose any measure for
their reclamation? For that matter,
what other measure for the good of the
country or the benefit of mankind has
that same party to point back to with
pride" for the forty years last passed p
Salt Lake Tribune.
1t is comforting to see one poor
straw for drowning republicans to
catch at Themselves following a
presidential candidate who has, at the
command of his coachers, reversed
himself on nearly every public posi-
ton until a diagram of his course
would show something akin to n
spiral coil, it is with the chatter of
magpies that the republican press
pretends to find one lone point
upon which to assume that Mr.. Bry-
an stands in contradictory position
1t is the one position in his career they
are able to criticise Mr.. Bryan in
his acceptance speech gives his own
explanation of his course, and it
shows that if he made any mistake it
was of the head and not of the heart.
The Signal is bitter towards the pur-
chase of the Philippines, and wheth
err Mr.. Bryan did or did not consent
to the ratification of the treaty does
not furnish an excuse for the mis-
appropriation Of public funds and
useless sacrifice of human lives.
The Signal did not make party is
sue of the arid land, but simply in
stanced how the money could be bet
ter applied at home in ways of peace
that would yield ten fold more com
merce and require no bullets, bayonets
or blood, and cited that there was
yet room for all the expansion at
home Gin territory acquired by demo-
Gratis to be utilized as states where
we could expand in the good demo-
cratic way as opposed to vicious re-
publican expansion that our land
would need for the next hundred
years. A hundred years of all
the surplus expansion and
development the country has
will not exhaust the resources of the
west, without going across the sea
into the domain of the syellow ter
ror' the Tribune so frequently harps
upon. The Tribune's words are
simply an evasion of the main point,
but as far as that goes the republicans
have been in power the larger part
of the period it mentions and they
have done nothing The born
democracy has yet had no opportunity
to put its ideas into effect, but it will
after this year the Tribune bargain
ed off its soul just as it was within
reach of st. Peters hands.

"Look at our enormoust export of
manufactured goodsi" shouts the
worshiper of the unsound, fictitious
prosperity of war, famine and short
crops. What is The significance of
these exports? Simply that the
American tax payer is compelled by
law to pay double prices. for all man.
ufactured articles in order that manu-
facterers can sell at half price abroad.
We must pay more in order that
foreigners may pay less.

Mr.. Bryan has given notice that Lin
coin is not a great centre like Canton; that
large crowds cannot visit that place with
out serious expense and Inconvenience
that hence he thinks it is far better Tor
Mohammed to go to the mountain than
to try to induce the mountain to make a
night march to Mohammed. So when
the campaign really opens, we can look
for seventy or eighty speeches daily, rear
platform speeches, from Mr.. Bryan
Salt Lake Tribtne.
Then the Tribune INDUCES in
half column ridicule of Mr. Bryans
oratory, and repeats the contempt
IDLE act every other day. We pause
long enough to ask the Tribune to
kindly explain to its former admirers
why it found in Mr.. Bryan four years
ago none of these points it now pro-
fesses to treat with contempt, and by
what great light it can now see some
thing to cavil at which it could not
see then. The Tribune owes it to the
section of country which has yielded
substantial sustenance to it to give
some common sense reason to snow
that it has not passed into secono
childhood, that it is not utterly aoan-
doned and entirely unworthy. IL
must wipe off the mud and show an
honest countenance before it can un-
educate its own pupils.

A SQUIRMlNG ORGAN.

The Helena (Montana) Independent
gives the venal Salt Lake Tribune this
delightful little prod:
The Salt Lake Tribune was trying to
fool the people in 1896, or it is trying to
fool them now. Then why should any
one believe it. In 1896 it advocated BIZ
metalsm, and said bimetalism was right,
was principle. 1t advocates gold
monometalism now, and says gold mono
metalsm is right, that it is a principle
What claim has it TO the confidence of
the people?
There's nothing that infames the
gnawing conscience of the Tribune
more than reproach like that. and
it snarls back at the Independent
that the latter is border ruffian,
compares it to coyote when cor
rallied, accuses it of blackguard
beastliness and wants to know how
any one can know that the Tribune
is either trying to fool the people
now or tried to fool them four years
ago-as if two and two did not make
four; as if people had not intelligence
enough to compare the Tribune of
today with the Tribune of Yesterday;
as if the ostrich could hide its body
by burying its head in the sand; as
If brazen challenge of the authority
Of those across the street to ask
questions constituted an impenetrable
cloak for its own disgrace.
1t then restates its imbecile asser-
ton that there is no longer need of
silver and gives as reasons why it
cannot longer remain true to the
west that
1t must advocate the dishonor of the
flag
When that is simply a piece of
gibberish which, with all Its insane
prejudice, it cannot demonstrate.
1t must denounce the present Admin
istration for performing It's sworn duty
in the PHILIPPINES.
When the administration has no
sworn duty in the Philippines other
than what it may have pledged itself
to do in the interests of the sharks
which placed it in power. The only
guiding star for our duty is the basic
principles of the republic. Mr.. Nc
Kluley is waging war in the Philip
pines without authority of congress,
which is the only power that can
declare war, and he is no doubt open to
impeachment today. Mr.. Bryan
says he will call congress together to
settle the matter, the proper source
of settlement but the Tribune prefers
the gold standard to a Just and proper
course like that
1t must practically indorse Ed Boyce
and his dynamters (see Sioux Falls plat
form)
Which is too maudlin to waste time
upon.
1t must advocate, covertly, the issuance
of an unlimited volume of irredeemable
paper money.
When it would have to advocate
no different kind of money than it
advocated in ninety-six.
1t must advocate the taking away of
some of the highest powers and preroga-
tives of the courts and offer homage to
every scoundel in the land who hates
order and law.
When it found no such objection
in ninety six and there has been no
change in the man or his position
from what the Tribune then endorsed.
1t must, in effect. make hot warfare
upon protective tariff
When it did not think so four
years ago.
1t must indorse the palpably false and
demagogue charge that there must be a
secret alliance between the Republican
party and Great Britain.
When it was positive, four years
ago, that the plot to fasten the yoke

Bryan, would exact $3.50, 900 year

Shoup has been recreant to his trust
Pretending to be silver man until

He supported the present infamous
republican financial bill which takes
the currency function out of the
hands of the government, where it
was placed by the constitution, and
turns it over to the national banks,
giving them power to say how much
or how little money the people shall
have, No man in Washington coun-

lature this year unless he is anti
