TARIFF AND MONEY
II One Standard Is Established. why Not
the Other?

q
Why should not the protective tariff
policy be as firmly and irrevocably
established" as the Democratic party
and its candidate for the presidency
comedies the gold standard to be?
The gold standard was advocated by
the Republican party, and on this issue
the country went Republican by an
overwhelming majority. The question
OF tariff or free trade, and tariff reform
and revision, has been the issue in sew
eral national campaigns, and the peo-
pie by their votes decided finally that
the protective tariff principle should
prevail and that this country should be
recognized as fayoring and supporting
protection and not free trade. The
Democratic party was placed In power
and given the opportunity Of demon
strating the fallacy Of its free trade or
tarin for revenue-only policy, and the
result was so disastrous that the peo-
pie gladly returned to protection at the
first opportunity, and refused to Elk.
PERTINENT WITH FREE SILVER.
The legislation by congress fixing the
gold standard was in accordance with
the demand Of the people, as expressed
by their votes. They, the people, have
just as firmly expressed their prefer
ence for protection Neither currency
nor tariff legislation is so firmly enact
ed that the laws could not be changed
by congress IL the people demanded
their revision, and the only reason that
the Democratic party is attempting to
make the tariff an issue in this cam
paign is that they hope the people have
forgotten their sad experience under
the Wilson, German Democratic tariff
Dill After the votes are counted In
November, the Democrats will find
that the people who by their votes rule
this country consider the protective
policy as well as the gold standard
firmly and irrevocahly established az
cardinal principles.

be taken within six or seven miles of
Kalispell. We have had dry year

fair crops. Some wheat went as high

nip the other day that weighed twenty
pounds and an apple which weighed
one and one-fourth pounds. There is
lots OF fruit raised here. Plenty of
game and fish. I killed the first deer

TIRE BIG TREES.
Wondrous and Awe-InspirinG Product
OF Nature, Found only In California.

California's attractions are mostly of
its own kind, peculiar to the state, and
of none is this SO emphatically true as
that unique product, the Big Trees.
The age of these colossi is from | 500 to
1000 years. The Mariposa Grove,
which can be visited while enroute to
the Yosemite, contains some of the
largest. In the Calaveras Grove are
from ninety to one hundred of huge
size. Near Santa Cruz is beautiful
grove of redwood Big Trees which will
we'll employ days visit. These can
be best reached by the Union Pacific
whose fast trains from Missouri river
reach California 16 hours ahead Of all
competitors.
Pamphlets and maps describing the
wonders OF California, and full inform
alton about the most comfortable and
direct route to the Pacific Coast, can

hauling down Of the stars and stripes

ried out, the contraction of rural free

ton of money in circulation, contrac-
ton of our bank accounts, contraction
of values, and contraction OF our belts

From his chosen seat among the
catacombs Carl Schurz has dictated a
15,000-word letter damning Theodore
Roosevelt for the egotism of his per-
sonality. This is the fifth presidential
campaign in which Mr.. Schurz has as.
sailed Republican candidates from the
unscalable heights Of his own colossal
egotism. Other men now and then
have a suspicion that all the rest of
mankind differing from them may be
right. Carl Schurz Is never troubled
by any such weak mistrust In his own
Omniscience.

sLAPs THE BRYANITEs


Bryanites seem justified in declining
to affiliate with the Parker Cleveland
party. While Mr. Cleveland is not the
Democratic candidate, he is the great
est gun in the party. What he says is
a sure indication of the sentiments of
eastern Democrats-and they are now
firmly in the saddle. Mr.. Cleveland
soIemnly rejoices over the defeat Of
Organism at st. Louis. When asked
by correspondent what he thought
of Judge Parker's gold telegram and
the action of the convention following
its receipt, Mr.. Cleveland rose slowly
and. after a brief silence, said:
The party's action speaks for itself.
1t has returned to sanity and future
progress along the right lines now Is
assured. Yes, 1t speaks for itself. The
welfare of the Democratic party Is
close to my heart, and 1t Is once more
upon the right road"

A Word to Partisan Democrats.

Republican prosperity is not vague,
meaningless platitude. 1T is not some
thing that may be good for the other
fellow and not good for you. If you
would be willing to deny yourself Re
publican prosperity for the sake of be-
ing a hide-bound partisan democrat,
you ought nevertheless to ask yourself
whether you have a good moral right
to vote to deprive others of 1t.
Republican prosperity is what viii
conduce to the happiness of your home.
In Democratic times your wives and
children and your neighbors suffered
as well as yourself. If you are will.
ing to try for yourself another dose OF
Democratic hard times, your affection
nevertheless for the helpless ones at
home, who want the good things of
this life if you don't, ought to be suf-
ficient to make you vote for four more
years of Republican prosperity.

Republican party is the only one that

Republicans passed the Sherman anti

have been instituted by Republican

Brooklyn, n. Y, Man is Believed

Rev. Arthur @. Kinsolving, ID. ID. 4,

probable successor to the late Right
Rov. Thomas U. Dudley, as bishop of
the KentucKy.d diocese of the Episcopal
church. DR.. Kinsolving was life
long friend OF Bishop Dudley, and it
would seem altogether appropriate
that he should ill his place. He is q
southern man, belonging to distin-
guished Virginia family.
DIR. Lee, Of Lexington has been
mentioned as Bishop Dudley's success
sor, bat objection is made to the broad
ness OF his religious views, which
will probably interfere with his selec-
tion.
Paducahans favor DIR. Kinsolving
for the bishopric, and would like to
sec him chosen for the honor in the
council OF the church which convenes
in May. He has been in Kentucky,
but never in Paducah, 80 far as known.
