Assumes More Serious Aspect, II
Reports are True.
BUFFALO, August 4.--E Z. Evans,
general manager OF the Anchor Line,
stated at meeting of the local mem
beers of the Lake Carriers Association
held here to-day, that the demands Of
the striking longshoremen of Eric in
cluded the abolition of the contract
with Coyle and Cain. The only griev-
ance presented by the local men up to
the present time has been the failure Of
the Anchor Line to dismiss Contractor
Cain, OF Erie, who is now on bail on
the charge of manslaughter, for the al
legged shooting of a member of the
Longshoremen's union. 1t is said that
one member intimated that the real
object of the strike at Erie and the
sympathetic strike at Buffalo was the
abolition OF the contract system at the
former port. II this Is the case the
strike assumes a more serious aspect.
With this complication arising 1t was
found impossible to determine upon
any line of action and an adjourn
ment was taken until tomorrow.

I'VE shall not consent to yield up the
only rights we have as laboring men.
We decline to allow the employers to-

meet the issue raised by the employers

sTATEPE.ss COMMENT
H. L. FRANK.

Great Falls Tribune: Out of the SEN
atorial contest H. L. Frank of Butte
comes with flying colors. He is not sem
ator, to be sure, but he has earned the
respect of every man in Montana who
admires one who is big enough to sink
his personal aspirations when the test
comes between them and the interests
of his state.
During practically all the late session
of the legislature H. l.. Frank was In
the lead for the short-term senatorship.
His friends stood by him loyalty, and
day by day the figures that followed
Franks name grew. Thursday night he
reached the highest point of any fusion
candidate and had within eight of
enough to elect. Mr.. Frank had it in
his power to prolOng the deadlock. He
had it in his power to prevent the cleo
ton of any senator. He did not take adj
vantage of that power. He pushed aside
personal ambition; he pushed aside nat
ural chagrin over losing what was al
most within his grasp, in order that Mon
tana might be fully represented in the
senate. He allowed senator to De

Mr.. Frank made clean, able and man.
ly fight for election. BY that fight
he made friends by the hundreds. But
greater than his fight was his surren'
der. By it he has gained the respect
and admiration of every reading person
in this state. He has established FOL

OUR PROBLEM OF OCEAN TRANS
FORMATION.

Charles r. Flint, an expert on COM
mercial problems, recently pointed out
that the position now held by the United
States as the leader of the worlds mar
Eets, rests upon these factors, first, our
skilled labor: second, our inventive abil-
ity; third, our organizing ability; fourth,
our raw material; fifth, our land trans
rortation system.
Celebrating on these facts, o. P. Aus
tin, chief of the bureau of statistics at
Washington says we are now the great
est producer in the world of practically
all the articles which man must have for
daily sustenance and comfort. We pro-
duce more provisions and breadstuffs
for food than any other nation; we pro-
duce more of cotton for clothing. more of
iron ore and copper for use in manufac-
turing, more of coal for heating and use
in the domestic arts and industries. more
of petroleum for light, have better manu-
featuring facilities, more ingenious ma
chinery and skilled workmen than any
other nation, and more effective rail-
way system for Transporting these COM
1nodities, natural and manufa ctured to
the waters edge and a great ocean on
each side to float them to every part of
the world. We have all the articles that
the world requires for daily use; our
rivals, though numerous, have not the
facilities of production which we possess
If We deal fairly by our customers, why
may we not, he asks, continue to lead and
why should there be any possible failure
in our continuing to lead the world in
International commerce?
Mr.. Austin presents, through the New
York Tribune, long array of figures
showing the heavy per centage of the
worlds supply of grain, cotton, coal
mineral, petroleum and manufacturer
articles of all kinds produced in the
United States, backed up by 40 per cen
of the entire railway system of the world
The one thing lacking to insure THU
proud position of leadership is vessels t.
carry all these products to the foreign
markets. When We shall have added t.
all of these wonderful advantages whicl
nature and the inventive enterprise an
boundless energy of our people hav
given US the single remaining requisit
Of transportation facilities from GU
ocean ports to those Of other countries
we should have no difficulty whatever i

markets which we attained in the closin

year of the nineteenth century; and 1t
would appear that we could only fail in
retaining that supremacy through serious
neglect of the great advantages which
nature has given us. 1t was to meet this
enc want that the ship subsidy bill was
introduced.
Upon this very point. in closing his adj
dress in the senate upon that measure
Chauncey NJ. Depew, a master OF trans
rortation matters. said:
Under this bill, as new lines are es-
tablished between our ports and lands
across the Atlantic or Pacific they must
carry free American mail. With the en-
aotment of this measure five years VIII
witness a wonderful change i'll the rela-
tions of the United States to ocean trans
rcrtation. Long before the limited period
of the subsidy has passed we shall have
returned again to the jublant and pa
triotic feeling of Daniel Webster. We
can again proudly boast that our ships
are upon every sea, our flag in every
pert and the name and fame of our
country respected by all nations. and
that the products and goods of the
United States are in successful COMPETE
ton in every market of the world with
our rivals in production, trade and man
uactureS.

LESSON FOR MONTANA.

Livingston Enterprise: 1t is all over
now. Montana has received a good les
son. One which will be productive OF
furnishing a representative set of repub-
licans for the next and eighth assembly
two years hence. The nation will be
blessed with four years more of pros
perity under the guidance Of President
McKinley-four years of happiness.
prosperity and honor will be the lot OF
the American people. Montana will be
an equal sharer in a measure with other
states, but there will be brighter times
when the fusionists are cast aside. as
they will be in the fall of 1902. Let there
be democrats for the sake of squirting
republicans to prompter action. but God
forbid that Montana ever again falls
into the hands of that mongrel political
mess called the fusionists.

PROTECTION IN ENGLAND.

it
The chancellor of the eXchequer. who is

meet the expense of operations in South
Afri permits the announcement that he
favors duty on sugar. The necessities
Indicated however, do not in any way
obscure the fact that the proposed duty
is essentially protection. and the design
is doubtless to give the British sugar in
dustry a chance as well as to get funds
for the treasury.
This may perhaps, be denied, but what
does Mr.. Reid say?
Indeed. the refineries of my constitu-
ency will not be satisfied with mere
import duty. arguing that this will leave
them little better off than before. What
we hope to get though I am a retiner
myself, is a countervailing duty which

France Germany and Belgium. Twenty
five years ago there We're fourteen retin-
cries in Greenock. Now there are only

wealthy. Now they are reduced to me-
dioCre circumstances. l do not think Il
tax or countervaiing duty will seriously
affect American sugar. 1t is chiefly aim :
ed al the cheap beet sugars of the con-
tineut which, thanks to the subsidy can
undersell anything produced here.
That looks very much like an entering
wedge. At all events it is a most strik-
ing change for England. the home of the
Golden club. when a protective tariff
policy is seriously considered AS Mr..
Reid points out in the interview above
quoted is it about time England consid-
cred it, so far, at least, as relates to su-
gar. The imports of refined sugar in Eng
land for January showed an increase OF
80, 51o,90 pounds compared With Jan
uary of 1900 while the raw sugar imports
showed an increase Of less than l., 900, 900
pounds.
But if British sugar manufacturers are
in bad way, owing to unrestrained for
eign competition. how about iron and
steel" The British ironmasters, owing to
the stress of American compe ttion, are
manufacturers, and once start is made
plotec elton is not likely to end with tbs
latter industry
Any step in this direction is an endorse
ment Of th= wislom of the American pol
icy of protection.
