Whenhe took up side issues. Mr.^Carter said. Saturday night: ^'There^many i|Uestmiis put by the ^ L. in^Malta press. Otaf is why I did not^keep my pledge to ^'11 a pulilic build^ing for llutte. 1 never promised any^^uch thing. Rightyon are, Mr. Carter. No dein^ocratic newspaper in Montana ever^charged you with that promise, and^you have never beeu accused of break^ing any phdges on that score so that^your denial is entirely gratuitous. Mr.t arter had Wn elected and was^in Washington before a public build^lug for Untie w.i. talked about. Not^B word of ag.:atiou was In aid on that^^ubject until the h 1 iKDAKB started it.^A bill for a building 1:1 Helena had^been introduced and it bad the help, in^the senate, of members w lc^ hav e real es^tate interests and personal friendships^In Helena. Immediately the M wn^Alt!^ urge^l the proposition that, when^it comes to the distribution of federal^favors. Butte ought to be preferred to^Helena. That is true. Unite s popu^^lation, -vealth and business warrant^the claim. Appropriationsfor baihliiigw were^scattered lavishly in tin- ussion lately^closed, and many i.n tnl^ 1, of congress,^early 111 the session. ex| e.-M-d the be^lief that the republican D ajority would^be disposed to do something tor Mou^tana. Following the agitation which^the Nt.\M'm:i^ started, a bill for a^llutte building was introduced, and at^once word was sent from Washington^to Montana that to,, 1,1 ,^ li had already^Mfl appropriated and the thing must^Map. Inspite of this tale, there isn't a^doubt in the world that Montana could^liave secured one building this year.^Mr 1 after'! dilemma was that he could getone but probably 00 I'dli't get two,^yet the claims of 'towns were rightunder the cotign ^ :aii*s nose. It^was a case where t arter cojild have^been happy with titbet were t'other^dear charmer away. Motive* of politi^^cal expedience made it impossible to^pick between these two cities, accord^^ingly both lost: and with that winsome^rhetoric for which the Helena member^is distinguished. Mr. ^ arter said, Sat^^urday night, ^1 want to carry out that publicbuilding bill and will do it de^^spite the democratic press and party. l'leasegive us n rest, Tom. For^heaven's sake, don't start in again this^year by making a lot of foolish prom^^ises the first thing. THEFACTS ABOUT IT.^^There is not a family in llutte, whose^household expenses will no; lie less^than heretofore because of the McKill-^ley bill. Mr.Carter said this Saturday night^in his speech at the republican rally 111^Hutte. We cannot understand why he^should make a declaration so utterly at^variance with well-ascertained facts.^The Mckinley bill has been followed^by a sharp advance in the puce oi^scores of commodities that go into^daily consumption with every decent^family in llutte. and proof on that^point has lM*en given right from mer^^chants in Main st reef. Theliih 1 M'liiiiinin, organ of the^republican party, is displaying every^day an advertisi 1, . ..t . I one ol li-ittt -^leading business ho ises announcing an^advance ' owing to the passage of the^McKinley bill,^ 011 a large line of goods.^Were there room for It. the Stamiaiiii^could quote irom seventy live newspa^|hts a lot of advertisements giving^similar notice to the retail trade. Thetestimony f urnished by the clerk^of the senate linance committee ought^to pass for pretty good evidence on^this question he ligured it all out for^the information of the committee be^serves. The figures show that the tariff^011 ready made clothing is .'hi per cent.,^formerly Si;on furniture H*^ per cent.,^formerly:*!; on glass chimneys fill per^cent., formerly hi; on common^plain earthen or stone ware 2^^^tier cent., formerly :^i, on spectacles^and frames fill per cent., formerly 3.1 to^4ti; on several grades ol yams l^^ |^er^cent., formerly X^; on many styles of^hats .^^,^) per cent., formerly '-^^ to ,'fii; on^brushes and brooms Id per cent., for^^merly 2.1 percent; m cigars i*1..1oa puund^and 25 |ht cent., iormerly 82.50 and ^^|ter cent and the list might be^lengthened to a column on the grade of^articles which are emphatically a part^of daily consumption under every^laboring man's roof. Alreadythe si amiauii has shown^how the advance 111 retail price affects^hosiery, linens, many articles in^women's wear, a large variet y of dress gIs,cutlery, table furnishings, small hardware,plush, all grades of em^^broidery work, carpets, varieties of^curtains, shoes, goods manufactured^from bather, canned goods and 1111^counted id her articles. If there is one particle of doubt about^the effect of the McKinley bill on^prices, the inquiring voter can get the^tacts to a demonstration on his own ac^^count. If be lives near any merchant,^be can secure the circulars which, with^^in a month, have been mailed by hun^dreds from eastern factories and lob^^bing houses announcing an advance in^rates. I low can it l^c otherwise, since^the average rate of tarnl under the Mc^^Kinley bill is admitted by its trainers^to be the highest the country ever^knew '.' Take the average petcei.tages^for lifly years. They are these. Fromli-IT to l-\s53.30 FromMM lo 1KKIMS FromIs,; : n, mt431.is Froml^M lo iwiM4ft.UU It,,111lai to ^lllsml .^,7.00 Weraise no question regarding Mr.^farter's motive in making before a^llutte audience the statement we have^quoted. We assert, however, that the^declaration is false and proven false.^It has no more foundation 111 fact than^the republican assertion that Mr. Itoal^ner is a gold bug. or that the present^unsatisfactory silver bill is better than^tree coinage, or that the tarilT is not. a^tax on the consumer. These things^become willful campaign falsehoods^when they are given out in the lace of^ascertained truth to the contrary. Mr.farter knows that the McKinley^bill bung lire lor weeks because many^republican congressmen, deeming it a^disastrous measure lor the party, re^^sisted its passage with undisguised^earnestness, n111l4l1.1t. 111 the cud, three^republican senators, seeing its especial^unlitucss to the West, refused to give^their vote for it. Mr. farter has Inen^long enough in Wadiiugtou to have^learned that tins bill has developed in^the republican ranks a faction winch^is utterly at variance with those of the^party leaih rs who pushed the tariff bill.^The very tact that the McKinley bill is^radical gave impulse to the reciprocity^theory which, as Mr. f il ter is aware,^has gained surprising republican^strength within four mouths. Weremember Hie congressman's^comment that, in this business, ^Mr.^Itlaine is on the wrong tack.^ yet we^submit to Mr. farter the proposition^that Ml paf cent, of the republicans 111^Montana are moderate tariff men.^much more disposed to the milder pro^tective policy advocated by Mr. Itlaine^than to the extreme policy promoted^by the McKinley bill, livery considers^turn of Imsineas and of sell interest^naturally prompts Montana's people to^this view. Is that not true. Mr. Carter!1 ACaMPA GN OF PICTURES.^The resemblance of the last house of^representatives when in full swing to^a modern circus seems to have given^the republican congressional campaign^committee a new idea or two in the art^of campaign advertising. The commit^toe has caused to be published and sent^iuto many districts where the light is^unusually hard, enormous colored cir^cus posters to lie pasted upon walls,^fences, bams and other convenient^places for the amusement and edibca-^tlon of the public. Some of the smaller^of these bills represent reproductions^of the photographs taken ot the house^ufter the democrats in si It defense bad^vacated the premises. The reproduc^ing artist has taken a tew trifling liber^ties With the photographs, such as^placing every last republican 111 bis seat^and enlarging Or' vacancy on the dem ocraticside of the house until it looks^liken howling wilderness. Ibit these^additions and improvements are an^artist's privileges and are strictly in^line with the republican style of pre^sent ing things anyway. Hutneither in scope nor design are^tin se smallei lulls a marker to the^superb circus posters proper. For ,',^^ ^^ .countable reason Mr 1 artt 1^has not seen tit to placard the hams and^fences of Montana with these amazing^triumphs of republican ingenuity, so^that we are indented to the republican^Washington /W for a description of^^ bat must lie confessed to be,^both from an artistic and a^political standpoint, marvels of^skill and effectiveness. They repre-^sent the home with the seats all tilled^and tin-galleries packed. In the back^^ground is the speaker's desk with the^speaker, as is every one else in the pic^^ture, listening witla rapt attention. In^the foreground, standing in one of the^aisles, and with its right arm and hand^extended in earnest gesticulation, is^the figure of a man of noble bearing,^wearing a turn down collar. Thehead upon this figure is variable,^first it is Major. McKinley that is en^^thralling the house with the (rower of^his eloquence. Ilelow the picture, in^all the glory of red and blue ink, are^palatal brief sections of the major's^speeches. Tens of thousands of these^posters are printed and sent into Mc^^kinley's district to instruct and edify^bis constituents, Again a new set of^as many more pictures is stricken off,^representing the same scene, the same^dramatic figure, the same rapt atten^^tion on the part of both floor and gal^^leries only the head upon the figure is^changed. This time it is Mr 1 aniion^w ho is holding the audience spellbound:^and balMf the pictiire is punted in gor^^geous inks choice excerpts of the^Illinois man's speeches. And thus^the same design is made to do^service for any republican repre^aantatiri that wants it, a change^of head upon the accommodating^figure and a change of sentences ap^^pended beneath, being allthat is needed tomake it applicable to any district^lanavtal hy ^ republican in the^lilly first congress. Kmintimated before, why Mr. Carter^has not availed himself of these circus^posted in his own district is not at all^clear. Of cum so in view of his rela^^tion.* with Mr. Iloatner, of Louisiana,^Mr. farter is excusable for not wishing^to Ik^ represented on the barn doors of^Montana in the act of making a sjieech^mi free coinage. Hut t here would seem tobe plenty of other g1 npportiini tieswhich he might embrace, farter^carrying the Tort Idlis reservation bill^through the house; farter ill bis suc^^cessful speech on the fooke fity rail^^road; farter 111 his triumphant (den for^the public buildings of llutte and^Helena; farter in his masterly praam^tatii'ii of the mineral land bill and bis^Scathing denunciation of the Nor! hem^Pacific railroad any of these would till^the bill, the big. colored circus bill, to^per feet ion. PLENTYOF CHANCE FOR IT. SaidMr. ( arter, Saturday. ^There's^110 debate in this campaign. OB,yes. there is. To be sure, a good^many points in difference were settled^before the congressman got back from^Washington, and he evidently has no^new ideas to present at any rate he^didn't present them lastSaturday.su^that some features of the contest have^passed beyond the realm of debate. Thereis Mr. farter's pair, for in^^stance, which was not with a gold bug,^as the republican organs used to claim.^It is settled now that be was paired^w itii a sterling friend of free coinage^and that the pair, being on political^questions, did not In fact bold on the^silver issue. There is no doubt about^that. 'Thenthere is the significance of the^vote which Mr. Carter dodged that is^dsbstsbll no longer. It has been^proved on the testimony of the Con^id 'II nl that the vote was a^^quart lest of free coinage strength in^the bouse. Again,we have the tunnel precinct^robliery business. The republican^press lias had little heart this year for^defending it. We have come up to a^time when sentiment with more than^half the people of Montana amounts to^a conviction that the manipulation of^that vote in the interest of two un^^popular men who had uncurbed ambi^^tious to gratify was a crime. Unceinore. their is no longer any de^^bate over the fact that the McKinley^bill operates directly to advance prices^on a largo line of staples which the^wo, Kingmen of Mon'ana purchase for^their homes. Concrete evidence gath^ered right here at home has put that^point lieyond successful debating. Nevertheless,there is debate enough^at command to keep Mr. farter busy^as long as he stays on the stump in his^eSWptiB of IsrSDS \ T'or instance,^there are people 11(1 Plulipshurg way^who have lived in their minds the no tionthat fn0111 age. with silver 1111 changeahlyat 91Ja\ is letter than a bill^Isriisd tor Wall street manipulators^who happen to hold the metal at 81.mi^this morning. 'These people also aver^that when a test was taken on free^coinage Mr. farter and the four repub^^licans trum Washington and the two^li.ikotasought to have stood flat-footed^with the tree coinage men. That is a^proposition which Mr. farter might de^bote with thesi people in an effort to^convince them that they are wrong. Thenthere are those broken promises theone made in Iteaverhead, for ex^ample, about a sure advance in the^price of wool if that county would vote^lor farter. I he price and the promise^are good themes for debate in Dillon,^dr. there are the pledges to Kaslern^Montana about the Crow reservation^and the Oosks City railroad right of^way. These are live themes for politi caldebate. If Mr. farter could con^^duct the discussion under the idea that^lies at the bottom of Heed's rules, he^could prove, we presume that the reser^ratios has SSSa really opened and the^railroad right of way actually voted by 1congress. Missoulacounty has a pat theme for Ia debate which merits Mr. farter's^best energies. Within thirty days ef^^forts were made by republicans in that^countv to secure the. fraudulent regis^^tration of more than a hundred and^twenty votes. The liM! ^ game has been^blocked by alert democrats. The con^^gressman might debate the propostttoa^that it was a good thin; for Dixon that^this outrage was catigli' in tune to be^scotched. t Onceagain, there i^ the declaration^made early in the campaign that^^Dixon is cold.^ It would entertain^the peiqde were Mr. Carter to debate^the temperature of Mr. Dixon's0SBTSBS,^as he finds it iu various quarters of the^state. Notso very many weeks ago, Mr.^Carter declared that the selection of a^resident of Helena, this year, as candi^date for congress would be unwise, im^^politic and unfair. Denying that^declaration, the SRvc How republican^managers insisted thai liuttsongM to^press the nomination of a Helena man.^Mr. farter could afford a joint debate^with one of these llutte republicans on^that subject. It would be interesting^we'll lie there if the debate is arraug-d. There'splenty of stuff for debate in^this campaign, after all. If Mr. 1 at r^will give his best thought to the sub^^ject, we think he will s ithdraw his as^sertion of Saturday night We could^suggest other themes, but, then, he is^right iu the swim and can think up^themes faster than the sr vMuttncaii;^there's plenty of them.
