DEMOCRATIC BUT HONEST.

While no less intensely democratic
in it's politics, the Anaconda Standard
places a good example before it's con-
temporarles of the same political
faith, in that it has more regard tor
the truth. In it's editorial comments
on the republican meeting held there
a few nights ago and at which the
Honorable William Lindsay was the
principal speaker the Standard says:
For a fact the Anaconda republl-
cans whooped it up pretty good last
night. The turnout, to hear Lindsay
and Mason. amounted to a rally that
wasn't dull or slow. 1t set the pace;
the Deer Lodge democrats would bet
ter brace right up and face the fact
that they are going to have a run for
it this year. Mr.. Lindsay spoke after
the manner of a candid man, and he
received courteous attention"
How different and more truthful is
this than some of the comments that
have appeared in the Butte Miner and
it's satellite across the range. Not one
kind, considerate or gentlemanly word
have they said concerning Mr.. Lind
say. In every way in their power
have they sought to ridicule him and
make it appear that the meetings at
which he has spoken have been, to
use their own elegance OF dictlon
"frosts." Although politically op
rosed to him, the Standard is mani

~FALsIFYlNe HISTORY.

Omaha Bee: A democratic organ
says that republican tariff legislation
eliminating in the Mckinley act OF
1890, caused the industrial panic OF
1884" AS every one familiar with
the history of that period knows, the
two years following the enactment OF
the tariff law of 1890, known as the
Mckinley act, were the most prosper
GUS years in our history up to thai
time. This is especially true of the
year 1892, which was referred to In
the annual message of President Har
rison as s%plendidly vindicating repub

lican tariff policy. That message was
sen to congress in December, 1892,
and consequently referred to then ex-
listing industrial conditions, which had
not yet been very seriously affected
by the democratic victory in Novem-
Der.
1t was not very long thereafter,
however, before the industries began
to show the effect of democratic sllc-
cess and when Mr.. Cleveland became
president in 1898 depression had Sc,
in anG it continued during most OF
his administration. 1t was the appre'
hension that the democratic party
would completely overturn the policy
OF protection, which it was pledged
to do, that caused the industrial panic
of 1884, and it is utterly absurd to
charge that panic to the Mckinley
tariff under which the country had en-
joyed unprecedented progress and
prosperity. Such a fragrant falsitica-
ton of history is wholly indefensible.
