A Voice Out of the West.

In the present campaign the DEM
ocrats, and especially their party
organs, are straining both mind
and conscience in their effort to
convince the people that under this
extended period of Republican
rule the West is groaping under a
burden of tariff imposition placed
upon it by the New England man.

this burden is lifted and promptly
by reducing the tariff duties the
West is in danger of going into
The hands Of receiver. Our
neighbor, the Independent, is fol
lowing up this line of dope editor
tally, but last week it got little
careless in keeping its news col
1mns in harmony with it. We
give below paragraph from a
letter found therein, written by a
former Potosian now travelling in
Montana for commercial concern,
which tells another and happier
tale, viz:
This is great state, people most
all have money and spend it freely.
Everything is quite high in most
places. l have paid 40 cents for
two eggs near the Canadian line.
There are all kinds of people, even
Chinese, who landed here with $35
or $40 who are now worth 5000
900 or $500, 900. One fellow l
talked with personally came here

From the above would appear
that the West is groaning under
the burden of wealth rather than
poverty. if it is groaning at all.
While the cost of living seems high
the people have the price. The
writer above quoted paid his 40
cents for two eggs without appar'
emily being depressed over any
exorbitance in the charge. As for
money, why the ordinary people
of Montana have stacks of it, and

nothing of acquiring little wad

Why Farmers Are Republicans.

Forced to face the fact of the
great benefit which comes to the
American farmer by reason of Re-
publican tariff legislation, the
Democratic United States Senators
who recently Submitted their min
ority report on the question of
wages and prices, seek to deceive
that prosperous element in our
population into the belief that it is
Free Trade and not Protection that
this country should have.
Notwithstanding the increase in
the price Of farm products, the
farmer, they say, ''has realized a
small net return ON his labor and
Investment"
The time has gone by, however,
when sbitty gentlemen can make
the American farmer believe that
sort of nonsense. The farmer has
come into his own and Republicans
are glad of it. He knows that con.
aitions were never before better
for him than right now and he will
not take kindly to the suggestion
which the Democrats make in this
campaign that he help put them
back into power. Many of them
are old enough to remember the
last Democratic administration
which put into force free trade
ideas in this country and compelled
farmers to endure four years Of
awful sdversity. Things are diff
ferent now. Now be is prosperous
and he knows the reason why. To
quote leading authority:
| "To- day there is not farmer il
the country who for given quan
tity of his products can not buy
and lay down at his door more q
the necessities Of life, more o:
clothing, more of everything tina
goes to make up the comforts Of 1
home, Notwithstanding the higl
prices than ever before in the his
tory of our country"
/ Under these circumstances th
Democratic doctrine Of discOnten
and disaster appeals to The Ameri
can farmer only as something to b
, spurned.

We have Just reviewed book
by Arthur E. Stilwell, entitled,
"Conidence or National Suicide"
As the author is man of consid-
cradle Importance in the financial
world, a railroad promoter and at
present president of the Kansas
City, Mexico and Orient railroad,
his views are worthy of considera-
tion. Mr.. Stilwell takes the stand
that our national prosperity rests
upon the prosperity of the rail-
roads and that unless investors
have confidence in the stability of
railroad securities, which would
tend to improvement and exten.
sion of this public utility, the
United States will be in fair way
to 90 to commercial perdition. In
other words. the author maintains
that there should be less legislative
interference with railroad opera
tions; that the roads should be per-
mitted to increase rates whenever
they felt that the safety of railroad
securities demanded such a raise,
without interference from a gov
ernment rate.making commission;
that the law should uphold these
rates, once made, for period OF
not less than fifteen years. This,
he says, would give the foreign in
weston confidence in our railroad
securities, bring in capital, pro
mote railroad prosperity aud Incl.
dentalIy national prosperity. This
sounds very fine Of course, to rail
road presidents and railroad stock,
holders, but it appears to us Mr.
Stilwell has put the cart before the
horse in arguing that railroad
prosperity must precede nationa
prosperity before we can get aheat
at all as a commercial nation. Un
Intentionally he makes strong ar
gument in favor of government
control of railroads by pointing t.
the fact that Mexico supports it
railroad securities by the govern
ment ownership of go per cent o
the stock of The leading roads o
that country, and also that in Can
ada the government there guaran
tees the interest on railroad bond
and exercises a certain contro
over the roads uf that country

less agitation against the railroad
