lllxiiic h Letter.
The foUowing letter from Hon. James
G. Blaine was made public Tuesdav.
Hon. Jos. H. Manley, chairman of tiie re
publican state committee, Augusta, Me.:
My dear sir: Not being able for reasons
which 1 explained to you, to deliver pul.
lie speeches in the present campaign, I
take the liberty of submitting m.v views
on the issues which I regard as being
the strongest for the republicans to urge
be I ore the people. The issue of the
greatest consequence is the tariff on im
ports, and it will continue to be until a
settlement is effected by a majority so
large that it will be tantamount to gen
eral acquiescence. Republicans are ag
gressive on this subject.
, - ;
I wo years ago they passed a general
enactment known as the McKinley tar
iff, which for the time failed to meet (
popular approval, and was regarded 1
with a certain degree of distrust iiy
those who always upheld the protective
system, but u powerful reaction came in
consequence of the vindication of the
McKinlev tariff by experience. It was
found to work admirably and within the
last >ear produced a greater volume of ;
business, internal and external, export |
anil import, than the United States ever
transneted before.
Notwithstanding the character and '
extent of the opposition to it, agricul-I
ture was remunerative, manufacturers
were prosperous, and commerce was |
ll ? ore nourishing than at any previous ;

laid down by Jefferson.

tated to »he improve
the strongest condition of affairs upon
which the protective tariff can be justi
fied and Jeffrson
ommend it.
The democrats
is needless to say,
tion to the policy
oui lined and adhered to. When the
h
principal of reciprocal trade was
proposed to bo introduced into the tariff
system, democrats showed the most gen
erovis appreciation of the question, and
gave it their support as long as the re
publicans refused to accept it. But
when the republicans came to approve
it we find the democratic national con
vention passing a resolution hostile to
the system.
But in spite of the democratic opposi
tion. wo attained through reciprocity
new and valuable trade, and the system
lias demonstrated its many advan
tages.
We are about to declare sugar, mo
lasses, coffee and bides, free of all duties
in tbe .McKinley bill, but instead of that
we asked several nations interest
ed what they would give to have
those articles made free. We fourni that
the privileges which we were about to
give without cost and without charges
would secure a large trade in Brazil, Cu
bi and Porto Rico, in the windwaid
and leeward islands, in British Guinea
and Jamaica, San Domingo and the tive
Central American state, . nd to a minor
degree in Austria, France and Germany;
I a y Hi exchange for articles which we in
1 tended to gratuitously admit.
: The free list on the McKinlev
:
tariff is
larger in the number of articles and in
the aggregate amount of their import
value than the dutiable list.
What would have been the result to
ai h u* üfuû :# a -, » .
the United States if every article before
it were put on the free list had
been made the subject of inquiry to see
what we could get in exchange for it?
We omitted to do so for many years and
that neglect cost the government an
advantage in the trade which would
have amounted to tens of millions of
dollars. This is the whole of the reci
procity scheme. It is very plain and
very simple; it secures valuable trade to
exchange for articles otherwise destined
to be put on the free list.
The democratic party think they can
discredit it and they will make an effort
apparently, for tbe unpatriotic renson
that they did not originate it.
With all of its calamities the war
brought us one great blessing—national
currency. There are many who will say
it was worth the cost of the war to
bring about so auspicious a result to
capital and labor. Prior to the war we
had the worst currency system of any
enlightened nation, thoroughly irrespon
sible. Banks existed by the thousands
throughout the United State and when
ever one of them failed the result was a
large loss and great distress among the
people. No one was resposible for their
bills and they were generally found
scattered in the pockets of the laboring
men to whom they were a total loss
without any redemption whatever.
Of the state bunks it is often truly
said they caused the debts to measure
their profits. They caused an aggre
gate loss of hundreds of millions of dol
lars among the poor. Since the close of
the war all this is different. Every
paper dollar that circulates among the
people has the United States behind it
as a guarantee. All banks that exist are
under the control of the national govern
ment, and if they fail as tinancial
institutions the government will take
care that their bills shall be paid by the
securities deposited in the government
vaults. Under these circumstances it is
a matter for extraordinary surprise that
a democratic convention should delibert
ly pass resolutions for the revival of
state hanks.
I he palpable effect of this policy, if
carried out, would be to cheat the po r
man out of his daily bread. If state
banks lie adopted and their circulation
attain a large issue, no device could be
more deadly for the deception and des
poilment of all commercial and laboring
classes. How the democratic conven
tion came to make such a declaration,
who was its author and what intelligent
purpose was in it, will remain a mys
tery.
1 have heard the argument adduced
; that wo would keep the money at home
if state banks were institued, but we
should keep it at home because it would
( be 6o worthless that nobody would take
1 it abroad. Were the system of state
hanks revived, we would again have dis
counts at the state lines and large
charges for drafts on financial centers
and a general suspicion of every bill of
fered in pavment, with a liquidation
every few years that would be adestruc- j
; tive loss to innocent holders of bills and j
| and a corresponding protit to parties ow
in^ the banks. ;
Ihe three issues which I have given |
' are the issues on which 1 would arraign
the democratic party. I would not mul
tiply the issues nor be diverted bv our
| opponents from a steadfast adherence to
; and constant presentation of these ques
! tionB before the people, until every voter
! is made to know and understand their
I true and weighty significance. Very

The republican state convention was j
called to order at the opera house at !
Great Falls at noon Tuesday by B. F.
White of Beaverhead, and the call for
the convention was read. E. I). Weed
of Lewis and Clarke was chosen tempo
rary chairman by acclamation. Weed
thanked the convention for the distin
guished honor. It was a compliment to
the young men of the party, who had
never disappointed the republicans of
Montana. There was no need for apolo
gizing for the conduct of the party either
in the state or nation. In the state af
for the republican party in Montana was
never brighter. On every question, sil
ver, lead, wool, the mineral land ques
tion, on every question affecting the ma
terial interests of the state, the course
of the republican party command admi
ration and respect.
Mr. Weed paid , a handsome compli
ment to Carter's efficient administration
of the land office and scored the demo
cratic house for its action towards min
eral lands. He lauded Harrison and
Reid. The democratic party presented
a ticket with a gold bug at one end of it
and a greenbacker at the other. The

whole state.

Oliver Svvett of Silver Bow offered a
resolution denouncing Piiikertonism,
which was referred. The convention
then took a recess until 3 p. in.
When the convention reconvened at
3 p. in. Hon. Lee Mantle of Butte was
made permanent chairman of the con
vention. The platform ratifies the nom
ination of Harrison and Reid, commends
Harrison's domestic and foreign policy,
endorses the principle of protection to
American industries, demands a cunt in
ounce of the duty on wool and denounces
the efforts of the democratic house to
admit lead free. It demands the free
coinage of silver and declares in favor of
sound currency and against wild cat ;
money. It demands additional protec- i
tion for labor in the maintenance of a ]
high standard of wages and in the créa
tion of boards of arbitration for the ad- '
justinent of differences. ,
The platform advocates a liberal sys- j
tern of pensions for veterans. It ex- i
presses sympathy for Blaine and admi
ration for his statesmanship ; commends
Messrs. Sanders and Power for diligent
services, and recognizes Carter's efficient
administration of the land office.
A supplemental resolution was read

The sad news of the death of F. F.
Fridley was received in this city
Wednesday night. Ilis death, which
occurred on that date at Ills home near
Fridley station, resulted from an acci
dent on the 18th of August. Oil that
date Mr. Fridley had taken a party of
tourists across the Yellowstone to the
warm springs near Chico and upon his
return the team he was driving became
unmanageable and ran away, throwing
him from the wagon and badly shatter
ing the bones of his left leg near the
ankle. As a result of this injury blood
poisoning ensued and amputation of the
limb was decided upon as the only
means of saving his life. The ojieration
was performed on the 23d ult., and it
was hoped he might recover, but he con
tinued gradually to fail until Wednes
day wheu he expired, surrounded by his
family and friends.

where he resided until 1864, when with
the first party of emigrants to the upper
Yellowstone he came to Emigrant gulch
and assisted in building Yellowstone
City, upon thd present site of Chico.
Here he engaged successfully in placer
mining for several years and afterwards
removed to Bozeman as one of the pio
neer settlers of that place. Later he re
turned to the Yellowstone valley and en
gaged in agricultural pursuits, locating
and improving the ranch upon which he
resided at the time of his death and
upon which the town of Fridley was
founded with the completion of the Park
branch in 1883. He leaves a wife and
two children, Ed L. Fridley and Mrs.
