S t)wing to this ilispositiun on the part c n , of sheep men to stuldy the real truth for It themselves. they are now familiar with i e- the fact that when the high tariff on y wool was inaugurated in I};7 the wool t e supply was almo st twi.e is grnat in pro portiont to the population as it is at the 1. present time. which would seem. to in dlicate that sit far as lthei cvllouIe of pro Sdtlution is ciloncernedll th tariffl has beien r an absolute ltetriltent to the imlustrv. I I The population ,of the I nited States in I 1t i;7 was, in round numbeirs. :bi,itn(x.4). andt the oflleial ligures show that there were then about :..,'i5,(KXt sheep in the Scoyntry. producing about 2:h.~t(.illha - pounds of wool annually. 1 Twenty three years of high protection on wool have intee,'ened, anti where do we stand today' The census of 18.Nte shows that there are now approximately 4:.145,(Xt01 sheep in the entire country, Sshowing an increase in almost a quarter of a century of but 1,(tXO,(Nk). while the increase of population for thei same pe riod was 27,50(Kh5t). These startling facts tllhe shieep leln t are becoming familiar with. because democratic speakers andt newspapers are above pandering to their prejudices or I appealing only to their selfish interests, t and instead invite themn to a sober con sideration of figures that are not of less importance or interest to them than to the consumer froml whorn their revenues ft ultimately coenw. And. on closer scrutiny. what do these figures disclose' They show that the sheep men are as badly deceived and as seriously injured by the tariff robbery asr any other class of citizens. Examine the. subject for one mloment: To supply our present spopulation at least 70X),h0,-: (0)S pounds of wool is annually die mandedl, and we are producing only 2.5. l0j0,l00K, a deficit of 123i,0001,()0 pounds. If we do not buy or trade for this wool from our foreign friends what are we going to do? The people must have' clothing, bedding, sad house furnishings, and this monstrous tariff, ranging from 1u cents a pound to h) per cent of the value, is intended to shut this wool out It succeeds to such an extent that mill. ions of our people are today not as well clad as the workers of Europe and have not as comfortable clothes and bedding for their homes and children. It suite the purposes of the republicans to play upon our credulity by denying this, but the truth of it can be easily demon strated. The spirit of the sheep men when made acquainted with these figures was ad mirably illustrated in Choteau county the other day when a democratic orator said to a meeting composed almost en tirely of men Interested in sheep grow ing: "Are you willing as men, and as American citizens, to say to your neigh bor. "I am willing to have these duties on wool maintained in the hope of mak ing a larger profit myself even if you have to Igo are backed through the cold winter." This orator had shown them that the price of wool is not materially effected by the tariff, and proved to the satisfac tion of most of them tie) that their wool would not be one cent lower if the duty were taken offt. The only effect of tile wool taritff is to shut out foreign wools, which together with the cruel tariff on woolen manufactures, places comfortable woolen clothing beyond the reach of per sons of semull nlcans. The day is dawning when special privileges will Ie allowed to no c-lass in this country. The rule of the democratic party which will begin in March next in every brancl of the national government will mean the rule of the people as against the plutocrats who now hold sway. It will mean the placineg f all the peopleh on an equal fooxting. and the final overthrow of class privilege, no matter where or in what form it exists today. TIiE I-AY I 01" ilECKO(NINi,.

Because it succeeded as the exponent of American principles at a great epoch of tlhe country's history and accorn jIlished the mission which it undertook its leaders were blinded by their success antl conceived a notion that anything they attempted could be carried out. They went from one extreme to anll other. int uding little by little upon the rights of the people until their insidious l prlogress culminated ai the McKinley bill. which was intendlled t eret a treat privileged Blass. anlll t lhe forc bill. an in famIous Illeasure whli.h was Il.eant to centralize the federal power lt Washing ton and to placein Its hands the weapons oilI of <Ilpo' tinsl..

'The election of 18IK) gave them a foretaste of what they might expect with regard to the McKinley bill, but us McKinley was elected governor of Ohio they sought to forget the lesson, and set out in this campaign to raise a corruption fund of 2.it.O,(t.pN to ride into power over the necks of the people with a banner of the robber tariff and another of the forea bill as their emblems. And now that the people have be conme more fully awake to the infamies of the McKinley tariff. they perceive that it does not accomplish anything that was promised for it. but that on the other hand it has cramped every kind of industry, placed the A.\meri:an inanu facturers anti the AIl.erictan consumer at a terrible dii.adivantage. and given no b..itihit to thie .Amneric:an producer in any wise c.,nienr- urate with the alllic tions hi must Ie-lure iI'nder the rule of thtis law. ''1he revolt ag.aiinst the force bill Is sthared in by iv I'ry free man who lives his liberty. The revolt against the McKinley law is one which includes most of the people who are paying the high taxes exacted. and who have no share in the so-called benefits that were granted with the in tention of erecting a privileged clues, and by many of those who were expected to concur because of the benefits they would derive and who now see that they were deceived by false promises. ()n the whole it amounts to this: That a lot of designing men representing a political party which had gained pres tige through the good deeds done by its founders have been discovered in an at tempt to over throw the liberties of the Ieople and have been called down in a nanner which is unnmistakable.

After referring to these, and the superb prospects of a sweeping democrati: victory in Montana, the Butte Miner says of the candidate for governor: The fact that Mr. Collins is now and always has been the true friend of the common people is so well established as to make the subject undebatable. Ills record us a miner, laborer, busi ness man and public officer is a sufficient guarantee that if elected he will be faithful to his trust, true to the people upon whose toil depends the future of the country; loyal to the principles of genuine democracy and unswerving in his devotion to honest government. As a member of theconstitutional con vention he was the fearless and consis tent friend of labor. He voted to pro hibit the employment of convict labor in competition with honest toil. Hle voted to prevent the importation of armed Pinkertons into the state of Montana. In this respect his record is in strikirºi contrast with that of his opponent, who stood on the side of the convicts and the Pinkertons as against the workingmen of the state. .\s chairman of the committee on rev enue and taxation his reports were al wa)s conservative, and in all cases lihe ipposed the placing of unjust or un necessary burdens on the people. In fact, MIr. Collins" views on this most ini portant subject have become a guide for I others anti show that his administration as governor will be economical its well as honest. \ r. Collins is tone of the self-made imen of Montana. lie is a product of the state or which every citizen should be proud. His career is an elouenttribute to Amer ican institutions. His success is proof of what a laboring man can accomplish in this glorious land of the free. and his rise from the humble wilks of toil to an undisputed leadership in the state which was his home as a miner and prospector is an inspiration to every man who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow. Vote for T. E. Collins anti insure an honest. capablle, public-spirited and pro gressive administration of the affairs of state. ON WITH TI.C cONTiAsI'. It is scarcely necessary for the plress of (;rea, Falls to say anything more habout the claims of this city in the capital race. The friendly newspapers of other locali ties are presenting our case with such force and devotim, as should c'ommand universal attention. Hliere is what the Iclt Mtountain liner says in its lat is sant: I\very now and then(i an outsnider drops 3 into camp for the plurpose of instructing t our peiople how they ought to vote on the capital questioi.

From the day the c.tndidacy o this city for the capital was announcei there has never been a moment of doubt in my mind that it would be the choia of the people. I have had most excel. lent reasons for thinking so. Last Jan. uary the Knights of Labor of the state met in Anaconda, and matters relative to the interest of the workingmen were discussed in every phase. Prior to the passage of any resolutions by the state assembly the question of the place if the permanent seat of government for .li,n. tana camp up for consideration. When the resolutions were presented mfr read. ing the following was read and adopted: "That we will oppose the selection of any town or city for the permanent capi tal wihose inhabitants tolerate the ePIm Iployment of Chinese labor." "Now it must Ie borne in mind that no intiuencie was brought to bear upon the membersof that assembly relative tip favoring any particular place or discrial inating against any town or city. It was tlihe asle of toe mlembers in attendance, iwho rettlectedl the views of the various lodges represented, that the capital of Montana should be a city not cursed with Chinese laborers. I have since heard it said that the resolution was ijn troduced to further (Great l"alls' claims. but I want to say here and now that thI. deliberations of that body were uninflu enced by any motive except to prmnote the interests of the workingillnn ,if Montana.
