The very unfortunate death OF Consul
Wildman just as he had reached his ma
tive shores after long service as Ameri-
can representative at Hong Kong, pre-
cludcd any possibility of his views re-
garding the Philippine instruction be-
ing secured by reliable sources. But in
view of his death an interview which
nc gave TO the editor of the Republican
at Honolulu, when on his way home,
is doubly valuable. When asked con
corning the situation in the Philippines
Mr. Wildman said:
Before answering your question let
me say these words in a predatory way.
Our present administration has acted
most wisely in handling this matter.
The Philippine question is practically
at an end. II our forces can keep the

ClARk's CAMPAIGN ENPtNsEs.

During the election last fall Fergus
county Democrats-or some of them
made very loud cry because the ARGUS
charged that the expenses Of their dele
gates to the state convention had been
met by W. A. Clark and that in addi-
tion his money was shelled out to
accomplish the election OF Weaver and
Cort. All over the state Democrats
denied that they had been purchased
by Clark and il was claimed that his
"vindication" vas only the honest YER
diet of the people against Anaconda
Copper Co. methods. Among his many
henchmen and dispensers of the ''neces-
sary' were II, Il. Knapp and 7, j.
O'Farrcll. the latter's duty being es-
pecially 10 look after the Clark string
Of newspapers. Evidently Mr.. Clark
did not do just what was right by these
individuals, for they have gone to Wash
ington and are going to present to the
senate committee on privileges and
elections some data concerning how
Clark's 'vindieation" was accomplished.
The allegations they make are long and
Of about the same style as those which
were made at the time Of the previous
Investigation. But among these are a
few of local interest. In an approved
interview the gentlemen say:
I'VE can show that Clark's expenses
in the last Montana campaign were
nearly $500, 900, Of which he has made
no returns on the election certificate.
Ills personal contribution to the cam
paign fund was 100000, and the Demo-
cratic state committee only shows an
expenditure OF s2j, 900 in the entire cam
paign We can prove that in Silver
Bow county, which polls 40 per cent Of
the vote ofthe state, Clark spent $50, 900
in order "a elect the fusion candidates
for the legislature. He spent between
$4,000 and saO,OO0 in Cascade county
for the same purpose. He spent $500
to secure the reelection Of Senator Cul.
len from Dawson county and 5000 in
each Of five counties-Granite, Jeffer-
son, B~roadwater, Beaverhead and Madi.
son
''lIe spent proportionate amounts in
all of the smaller counties. In addi-
ton we can prove that Clark paid all
the expenses of the Democratic state
convention, ms well as the hotel bills,
railroad fares and personal expenses Of
the delegates"

TARIFF on SIEtl PRODUCTS.


1t is possible that we may have a
wrong idea Of the purposes Of a pro.
tectivc tariff and If 50 we are willing TO
be corrected by some contemporary
more learned in economic law. But 1t
is our understanding that a protective
tariff was devised to raise revenue and
at the same time protect the American
laborer and manufacturer from the
cheaper labor of Europe and Asia. To
this purpose was the idea born. by
placing a tariff ON goods Of foreign
manufacture which came into compcti-
tion with American made goods it en-
ablea the American to pay the laborers
and tradesmen higher rates of wages
than were paid for work on similar
goods manufactured abroad. II enabled
Infant industries" TO be encouraged
and finally to successfully compete with
the manufactures Of foreign firms. And
the protective tariff has been very sue
cessful not only in these directions, but
also in supplying sufficient revenue for
the expenses OF the government.
We take no stock in the Democratic
cry that the tariff is the breeder of
trusts. Trusts thrive in free trade Eng
land as well as in this country. Wedo.
however, heartily acquiesce in the move
ment started by Congressman Babcock
of Wisconsin 10 remove the tariff from
iron and steel and the manufactures
thereof, This portion Of the tariff law
is not only a producer of no revenue
comparatively speaking-but is work
ing Il great injustice 10 the consumer OF
iron and steel products in this country.
1t is stated that the Carnegie works
at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, lately
acquired by the Morgan billion-dollar
steel syndicate, does now and for some
time past has taken contracts to deliver
its manufactured goods in Russia at
lower rates than the same could be pur-
chased by firms in p%ittsburg. In other
words, the company has been protected
TO that extent that il has been enabled
to demand such extortionate profits
from home that it could well
afford TO lay their goods down ten
thousand miles away at less rates than
al a distance of one hundred miles from
the factory. This is wrong. 1t is an
instance where the American consumer
pays the tax instead Of the foreign a
ufacturer, and, what Is worse still, that
tax is paid not into the government
treasury for the use Of all the people
but into the Golfers of Carnegie or the
billion-dollar steel trust.
American should not be
forced to pay such rates for the stee'
and iron products. They are mucl
more entitled To the lower prices thar
are the firms in Russiaor Germany.
The bill ofCongressman Babcock wa
introduced too late to admit Of actor
at the last session of congress, but it i
hoped that il will be renewed wheI
congress convenes mex December AM
pushed to the front and adopted. Their
may be other instances of this extortiol
from American consumers. II so the
should be included in the bill. 1t vii
make no appreciable difference in gov
eminent receipts aud will prove Of benz
lit to the home consumer.
