on THE DEAD SQUARE.

Great Falls Leader: On the dead
square now, Mr.. Man, doesn't all this
talk Of saving the nation make you a
tribe tired?
And at time when our factories
were never buster, when farmers new
er had SO good II market. there never
were so few idle men, and prosperity
never so general?
TO read the democratic press and
listen to the democratic spellbnders,
one would be led to believe that this
country Of ours was on the verge OF
nervous collapse spelling ruin, and
that only through democratic man
agement could salvation come.
Once upon II time the democratic
party experimental upon saving the
United States, and it was less than
two decades ago at that. The coun-
try was many, many years recover
ing from that salvation.
DO you remember it?
Five million men walked up and
down the highways of the country Of
fering their labor for bread and Of
fering in vain. The soup house be-
came national institution, and
CoNey's army Il democratic auxiliary.
Those people who lived in Great Falls
at that time will remember them
will remember the ruin wrought
through democratic mismanagement:
those people of NJ ontana of the age of
reason at that time can hardly have
forgotten the bankruptcy and desola-
ton wrought through democratic sal
vation-well hardly. Four years Of
democratic administration left the
United States one thousand millions
Of dollars worse off than when it
went on the saving job, LETT the sur
face of the country Uttered with
wreckage-an the laboring man with
no more job than rabbit.
Senator Cumnins of Iowa, to
whom the democratic press some
time since was wont to gleefully
point when the aforesaid press be-
lieved the Iowa man to be about in
surging into the democratic party
gives the following definition OF the
democratic party:
"a political organization which
holds view of the constitution that
would paralyze our efforts in dealing
with modern problems of commerce,
industry and transportation, and
winch holds view of the tariff that
it put into execution would bring
upon us universal disaster"
Which is exactly what happened
during the democratic times OF Mr..
Cleveland also you do not notice
the democratic press cheering Senator
Cummins of Iowa of late.
And it is the same way in Montana
the democratic press and democrat
tbs Speakers trying by every possible
means to belittle MOntana's republic
can representatives in order to Sc
cure votes. IN congress Montana
never had II representative who was
Oh the job better, who accomplished
more Legislation, did more for Mon
tana's interests, and delivered the
goods better, than Charles n. Pray
of Fort Benton and that goes us it
lays.
Yet the state must be saved by
democracy from Charles \. Pray
democracy only knows why.
And the same obtains Of Senator
Thomas Carter, than whom brain
Ter man does not stand in the Cuited
States senate today. nor in Montana
a man who has done, or can do, more
for the state. Senator Carter has ac-
complished great work for Montana.
he has been voice in the nation, and
man Of whom any state might well
he proud in senate standing and ac-
romplishment.
Yet the little self constituted saw
ers Of the state do nothing but howl
diatribes against Carter day and
night and democracy only knows
why.
Anything that has the label of re-
publicanism upon it has earned the
mdying hatred of democracy-beinp
