COURAGE NEEDED.
Big Task Ahead of Tariff Reducer
in Dealing with the
Trusts.

If Congressman Babcock is in earnest
when he that he will make
a fight for tariff reduction he should
find encouragement in the failure of
the industrial commission to obtain
replies from the principal trusts re-
garding sales of products abroad
cheaper than at home. Their silence is
a self-impeachment of the tariff which
takes a bonus out of the citizens
pocket for their higher profit.
Especially significant is the fat re-
fusal of the steel trust to answer the
series of questions proposed by the
commission. Yet Mr.. Schwab, when
testifyipg, asserted that if the tariff
were reduced the corporation of which
he is president would be forced to cut
wages. Further than that he refused
to commit himself.
In the last speech of President Me-
Kinley the work of such men as Mr..
Babcock was outlined when the former
great advocate of protection said thas
commercial wars are Improbable.
If. perchance, some Of our tariffs are
70 longer needed for revenue or to en-
courage and protect Il industries at
home, why should they not be en-
ployed to extend and promote our mar
kets abroad? We must not repose in
fancied security that we can forever
sell everything and buy little or moth
ing"
Yet continued grab seems to be the
policy of the trusts which have refused
to furnish data to the industrial com-
mission. Does their attitude mean
that the present system of high protec-
tive tariffs will be continued by bluff
ing the laboring people with the un'
grounded fear that wages will be low
cred? Are the dividends of shrinking
industrial stocks to be buoyed by
forced profits?
Mr.. Babcock has a big task before
him. This attitude of the trxrts will
hardly change. The tariff must be
maintained by the forces that are now
threatening such men as Representa-
tive Babcock. There is need for cour-
age IN the part of those who think to
alter the present policy of the
republicans in charge of the
party machine. Of argument there
is a plenty. Facts and differences are
on the side of the tariff reformers.
But are they brave enough to continue
in the fight to the end? viii not Bab-
cock go the way of Knute Nelson?-St

STILL STICK TO SUBSIDY.
of the Old Bill VIII Open
The Campaign with a
New One.


OF course, Senator Frye is still con-
vinced that the ship subsidy principle
is sound, and that it was wisely en-
bodied in the bill introduced in the
last congress. But we believe that
there r more people who disagree
with him than there ever were be-
fore. The Hanna-Frye-Payne bill is
admittedly dead. And the men who
drafted it and pressed it as vigorous
ly as they knew how have been forced
to lay it aside in favor of another
n that they hope may be less OBJ
jectionable to the people. So the
campaign will begin again with the
opening of congress. What the new
bill is we do not know, but it is safe
to say that if it is satisfactory to
the interests that have been so clam
orous for a subsidy it will be objec-
tionable to the people. More and
more they are coming to oppose the
whole subsidy principle, and to OPP
pose it strongly. And their opposi-
ton is something that the republic
In leaders had better look out for.
That there will be a vigorous fight
against the new bill is Of course
clear. Republican senators and rep
~resentatives and able republican
newspapers throughout the west are
known to be hostile to the proposed
gift. Anyone at all familiar with the
feeling in this region realizes the
danger involved in pushing this
subsidy scheme on an unwilling and
protesting people. 1t is known that
there would have been a very respect
able republican vote against the SUBJ
sidy bill in the last congress if it had
ever come to a vote. And there is
reason to believe that it would have
not been for the fact that the bills
republican enemies almost openly
co~untenanced the democratic flibus.
ter against it. We think that the
situation is growing steadily worse
for the subsidy people. Senator Frye
who seems disposed to judge public
sentiment by the sentiment of the
people of Maine, is apparently un'
able to understand that the opposi
ton to his measure throughout the
west is almost as strong among re
publicans as among democrats. YET
such is the fact.
The popularity of reciprocity, thu
belief that the tariff must come dow
and the favorable view of the move
ment against imposing tariff dutle
for the benefit of trusts are all 81
many indications of the growth o
the opposition to the policy of tax
ing one set of men for the benefit o
another set. Thus the ship subsid,
proposition is in direct antagonist
to the prevailing tendency of tn
times in the matter of taxation. In
stead of more subsidies and discrin
mating taxes, the people want fewer
and they are convinced that the tim
has come to tighten tax burden
rather than to increase them. An
when they believe-and on the bes
of evidence-that the ship subsidy
demanded by a few rich men who az
already doing a large and proftabl
!, business without it, there is httl
chance of converting them to the Fry
view.-Indianapolis News Qnd.):

LATEST SPEECH OF M'KINLEY.
The Course of Ohio Democrats VIII
Make Things Warm for
Republicans.

The last speech of President McKin-
ley-the speech he delivered in Buffalo
created a sensation in free trade Eng
land that was remarkable. The read
ers of the Observer have been told
how it was printed in full and com
mented upon by English journals.
Ohio democrats have taken up the
Mckinley utterance. What repub-
licans choose to call reciprocity" is at
least a departure from the high tariff
protection theory. 1t is a retreat, so
far as it goes.
In the opening of the Ohio campaign
in Bucyrus, Col. James Kilbourne, the
democratic gubernatorial candidate.
declared that the democratic principle
of tariff for revenue only had been
adopted by the republican party, too,
by the late President Mckinley. He
made the declaration while a%rraigning
the republican party for trust legisla-
ton. His words were:
1.-THE death knell of the high protective
tariff. which is robblng the many for the
benefit of the few, was sounded by Pres
ldent Mckinley in these words: The pc
riod of exclusiveness is past The Amer
lean people will proceed in the direction he
pointed out, and will continue to so for
ward until the true and perfect reciprocity
advocated by the democracy is established
in trade with all the nations of the earth,
unhampered by tariff restrictions, except
ing such as may be necessary for the pur
pose of revenue only"
Ohio will be a hot state turing the
next campaign.-Utica Observer.

mond, young aeronaut OF
~ Evansville. Ind. was fatally in
jured last night by fall from his
balloon while making an ascension at
this place.
In the presence of 5000 persons the
monster balloon with car and parachute
equipment attached, shot up into the
air.. A cheer followed the intrepid
aeronaut, but died on the lips of the
spectators when with a resounding clap
the big gasbag exploded.
The balloon was 400 feet in the air
when this happened, and it began to
descend rapidly. Simmonds, with rare
presence OF mind, desperately endeavor-
ell to cut the parachute away from the
debris, but though he succeeded the UNI
hcella shaped contrivance did not have
time to open and thus break the fall.
Man and parachute shot down to the
earth with terrific rapidity. Hundreds
sickened at the sight and many women
tainted as the man struck the ground.
He was carried, senseless, to the hos :
pital. Physicians examined him and
found serious internal injuries and a
fracture OF the spine.

Warning to the Country.
(By Associated Press.)

n ONE, Aug. 31.-The complete tri.
X umph of the anarchists in the re-
cent election to the Rome labor
council is causing alarm in government
circles.
This is the first time the ANARCHISTS
openly, contested against the socialists,
with the result that the council stands
with two anarchists to three socialists.
But more serious fact is that all the
societies OF workmen which participated
il. the voting qualified as anarchists, So
oialistic or republican; not single mon.
archial workman appeared on the list.
This demonstrates clearly that the en-.
tire working population of Rome. like
that of the other large cities in Italy,
has completely abandoned the monarchi-
cal party.
Leading newspapers seriously COM
ment on this. The Cecolo says: "Is
all the working classes Of Italy have be-
come socialists, anarchists or rerubli-
cans, where are we to find defenders Of
the monarchy"

seen at Butte or anywhere else. Its or
ganizers and managers have spared no
effort to make it unusual as to size and
attractiveness. Within it's ranks will be

all, of the great labor organizations Of
Butte, and the separate bodies will be
very numerous. Also it is expected that
there will be several thousand indi-

brilliant with banners and flags and
uniforms, and march to inspiriting band
music.

Sports Will Be the Features of the Day.

n N THE world of labor the coming
Monday is the most important day
in the year. 1t is Labor day, one of
Butte's greatest holidays and a day
i celebrated with the very greatest
enthusiasm. Every past Labor day
was a red-letter occasion, and the ap-
preaching one will be more tremendous
affair than any of those that have gone
before.
On Labor day the people of Butte lay
aside their daily occupation and turn out
err masse for a festival of the very
grandest kind. The thousands of labor
ing people and industrial workers of all
kinds in Butte join hands to make this
occasion one of a marked character.
They are joyfully and enthusiastically
assited in their laudable undertaking
by a great many visitors from outside
localities in the state.
Work at the mines and smelters and
industrial plants of all kinds and every
character within the limits of the city
and it's suburbs is nearly altogether
abandoned for the day, while the people
give themselves up to merry making and
the distinctive ceremonies and Observ-
ance appropriate to the celebration in
hand.
The day will be observed with pa
rade in the city and speeches and amuse
ments at Columbia Gardens. The ad-
dresses will be delivered by Charles H.
