The arguments set forth in Tim Collin’s catechism are in the intesests of foreign industries. T I M ’S I A I t l l F 1 E <J»i NCUS. The following is tak**n from the catechism issued by the Dem ocratic central committee of Mon tana, to which are added a few queries which na uially rise in the minds of those not .»chooled in free trade principles: “The present, tariff levies a duty of seventy-live c«*nt>- per ton upon Lethbridge coal brought into Mon tana This is a specific duly. Seven ty five cents are paid by the mi porter upon every ton of coal regardless of value. ‘•Q Who pays this tariff? “A. Primarily the importer, ultimately the purchaser or con sumer. “Q. How does this appear? “A. The importer of coal adds seventy-five cents to its price, which the purchaser or consumer must pay. From the above one is led to believe that if the tariff was taken off the Lethbridge coal it would sell in Great Falls for seventy five cents less per ton than what it now does. But why should Mr. Galt reduce the selling price of his coal? He is now competeing in price with the Sand Coulee ar ticle and can continue to do so by reason of the superior quality of h's coal. Certain!ey he would not l>e compelled to come down the amount of the removed tariff’ unless his competitors did, and if they did would lie not. have a margin of seventy-live cents to meet, them with before they could begin to effect his present profits? To take the tariff* off would not compell him to reduce the price of his coal, it would simply be presenting him with that amount. Of course Mr. Galt desires that! the duty he taken off* his coal, 1 “primarily” to get rid of paying it, “ultimately*’ to compell the pur chaser or c uisumer to pay it to him. And Mr. Galt is not alone in this effort, to have the duty re moved on foreign products. The entire British nation is with him THE VALUE OF KJLYER. The silver men have been howl ing about the republicans trying to secure the establishment of the relative values of gold and silver, claiming that they were only do ing so to prevent the free coinage ol silver. W. A. Hauser, a relative of ex-Gov. Hauser, writing to Gov. Hill of New York, commending him lbr iiis t-pceeh in favor(?) ol silver, say? on this matter: “The most foolish and rcdiculous things have been said and doue by the gold uionometalists and their ndheichl.» to po-Upone and dolns Uio remonetization ol silver. Not atmmg the least of these was the Sending of commissioners and em bassies to England, France and Germany, with ali possible digni t.y ami power on the silver ques lion. No one not wild wit - vision- won! ! suppose that these old count lies would or could be indue ed to change their financial systems in the least jot or little to nceouimod.«to us. The embassy ta k is ihe last resort to stav ‘ ' if the day lor n monetization, and u m. kes i t.e sick and tired to hear of slit h wild roose chase;-.” Oneaf the tilings in finance a good government always does i> r that which benefits the people, and as it is manifest that “the business of the country demands the use ot both metals,” to quote Mr. Harri son, the several governments will remonetize silver, and that, too,on a parity with gold. That Etigland needs a larger circulating medium than what gold alone affords is an established fact as it is. also, in France and Germany. The busi ness men of all these countries an loud in their demands for silvei ever since the visit ot the embas sy which gives Mr. Hauser tlm> “tired feeling.” Many meetings have been held there, demanding that silver be remonetized ana placed on a par with gold—just a* the republicans of the United States desire it should be. Tin embassies may not have secured the consent of these foreign pow ers to agree upon the relative purchasing powers of the two metals, but they have succeeded in interesting the people theie in the good cause and by whose efforts the thing will be done. On November 30th the United Textile Factory Worker’s Associ ation, representing the entire tex tile trade of of Great Brit an,issuei. a manifesto demanding of the government the remonetization and recognition of silver as tin standard money throughout tin British empire and between it and other countries. TIM S BOOK. Inter-Mountain. In his leisure moments Mr. Col lins has developed quite a literary tendency and has recently prepar 1 ed and printed for circulation among a few of his close and inti mate friends a heavy political work entitled: “The Tariff and Sil ver.” No sooner had this edition been printed than it totally disap peared. Even the press seems to have been ignored in the distri bution of the usual complimen tary copies and an offer of a large advance over the printed price has so far failed to bring a single return. By some it is said that the book a fib i tied such convincing ev id e nee that Grover Cleveland is the only truo friend of silver ami that Iree trade will double wage.'' in this country, that the republi cans bought up and destroyed the edition. Others again say that the edition was bought up by men Ciinanding influence in the demo crude party, and that they paid fabulous prices for copies of the book. Perhaps history will never record which of the reports is true, but it is believed bj' nine tenths of the people of this state at pres ait that the less the democratic party has to say about, “silver and -lie tariff,” the better lbr the dem oeratic party. T hk C osmopolitan magazine for January contains the announce ment that, “In the absence of governmental or concerted effort. The Cosmopolitan has determined to attempt the salution ot aerial navigation, a id under its direc tion a series of experiments will be brought tò a satisfactory con clusion.” Thus. A. Edison, Pro lessor King of Philadelphia, and Louis M. Haupl, professor of En gineering in lite Uni ve I si ty of Pennsylvania, have been engaged on the work. The result of these tabors are not. to be patented, but are to be given to the public, five. The question will soon be “How far and how fast can we fly?” rat lier than “can we flv?” The ♦ readers ot The Cosmopolitan will note with much interest the pro gress made by tha* magazine in its aerial flight. A little pamphlet on “The Tariff and The Silver Dollar” lu-s (and don’t you forget it) upon out- table. It purports to be “Short and easy Lessons on The Tariff and Silver Dollar—A Plain Presenta tion of Intransic Subjects-A Little Book for the Masses, issued by the Democratic Central Committee of Montana.” It’s a nice little catechism of 63 pages, bound in pea green paper covers and is a bout the size of Tim Collin’s hand. Inside, it contains the remarkable -tatement that the tariff is a tax ind that free irade increases wages. ____________ . T iie Irrigation convention will meet in Helena next Thursday. A happy New Year to all. A democratic bird with one free trade wing and one protection wing can’t fly. W e point with pride to Ben Harrison’s administration of pub lic affairs. Can the democrats do the same of C’eveland’s conduct ? J erry C ollins has severered his connection with the Great Falls Tribune by selling his inter est to R. W. Cooley, who will be the new editor and manager. The change took effect to day. H aving wings, one would nat- uraly suppose that the demo erath* party would soar into power next fall. And it would if there was only strength enough in the old bird’s body, to work them in u nison. S ince the dark lantern show given here some weeks since by Mr. Reese, the democrats haven’t been studying tneir catechism so closely as before. It is transpir ing that every democrat is not a free trader. M ajor S teell of the Blackfeet agein-.y, is iti W.iJiingtou City with White Calf, “Big Nose,” Little Dog Running Crane, Four Horns and three or four, other Piegan chiefs. They had an inter view with the president the other day in which they stated that they did not desire to dispose of any more of their lands. If Mr. Harrison realy wants their lands, however, all he would have to do would be to let Sti po con and old Nee-oks kali toes have a pull at that barrel of Scotch whiskey with a promise ofjmore when the trans fer was complete.
