itual happiness.
The matter of the increased expen
ditures of the national government. as
discussed by the democrats, was taken
up and Mr.. Carter showed how the
continued advancement and the con
stantiy growing needs Of the country
made increased cost OF maintaining
the government absolutely necessary.
Tariff and Other Matters.
MI. Carter spoke at some length on
the tariff and brought back reminders
OF the days when the democratic party
was put into power in order that it
might have an opportunity to show
how it would conduct the government
and add to the prosperity and happi-
ness of the people. The days of the
Coxey army were recalled, which
caused a voice from the rear of the
auditorium to call out: That's right:

by Cleveland in times OF peace so that
the expenses of the government might
be met, was reviewed and it was told
how that great and good man, that
personification of official honesty and
integrity, had sent for J. Pierpont
Morgan and in the quiet of the night
sold MIN the bonds at private sale for
lO4 and how Morgan a couple of weeks
later had sold those same bonds pub
licly for III.

said the speaker, "the democrats ask
us to give them another chance and
to elect Parker, the protege of David
Bennett Hill and August Belmont, the
American agent of the Rothschilds.
Mr.. Carter also spoke OF the much ex-
plotted sale abroad of American goods
at prices less than are charged for
them at home. He said that the arti-
Giles sold abroad and of the cheapness
of which the democrats never tired of
longer saleable here. In addition
man, things were manufactured in
the United States under the protec-
ton OF patents. Those patents had
no force in foreign countries and the
products thus protected at home were
sold abroad minus the royalty. Then
it often happened that American man
ufacturers found themselves with a
surplus of goods on hand. Instead OF
closing down their factories and dis
charging their employees until such
time as that surplus could be dis
posed of at home, they preferred to
continue operations and sell the sur
plus in foreign lands.
AS ascertained by a senate commits
sion appointed in 1892 for the purpose
OF inquiring into the sale of American
articles abroad at prices lower. than
were charged at home, Mr.. Carter
said the total yearly sale of such arti-
cles at that time did not exceed
100000, while the sale of goods and
articles of American manufacture on
the markets aggregated the astound-
ing total of $4,000, 000, 900. The sale
or articles cheaper than at
home. was 1870 per cent OF those sold
in the United States.
Mr.. Carter spoke of the good work
done by Roosevelt for the west in
lending his aid and influence to the
passage of the national irrigation act
and asked the people of Montana not
forget the debt they owed him. He
read from writings and speeches OF
Bryan in which that distinguished
gentleman gave his estimate of Par
ker and then asked the people to com
pare the democratic and the republi-
can candidates.. Aside from the per-
sonal objections that could be urged
against the democrats was the fact
he stood upon the same platform
On which Cleveland had been elected
and if he should be chosen president
would give the nation another Cleve-
and administration.
With al urgent appeal for support
FOR the entire republican ticket, ma
tional, state and county, Mr.. Carter
closed amidst loud applause.
