T H E M O N T A N I A N , . •Fubluhtd EveryFridayat Choteau,T* on o.Mont. S. M. CORSON, Editor. OFFICIAL PAPER OF TETON COUNTY FRIDAY. JANUARY 21, 1898. P r o t e c t i o n R e c i p r o c i t y . S i l v e r a G o l d , n o t O n e , b u t B o t h .PROTECTING AMERICAN LABOR. There-is one thing in which I believe; I believe in the protection of American labor. The hand that holds Aladdin’s lamp must be the hand of toil. This motion rests upon tho shoulders of its workers, and I want the American labor ing man to have enough to wear; I want him to have enough to eat; I want him to (have something for the ordinary misfor tunes of life; I want him to have tho .pleasure of seeing his wife well dressed; X want him to see a few blue ribbons iluttenng about his children; I want him to see tho flags of health flying in their beautiful cheeks; I want him to feel that this is his country, and tho shiold of pro tection above his labor. And I will tell yon why I am for pro tection, too: If we were all farmers wo would be stupid. If we were all shoe makers wo would be stupid. If wo all followed one business, no matter what it was, we would becomo stnpid. Protec tion to American labor diversifies Amer ican industry, and to have it diversified touches and develops every part of the human brain. Protection protects integ rity; its protects intelligence; and protec tion raises sense; and by protection we have greator mou and bettor looking women and healthior children. Free trade means that our laborer is upon an «quality with tho poorest paid labor of this world. And allow mo to tell you that for an empty stomach, “Hurrah for Jim Blain” is a poor consolation. I do not think much of a government whoro the people do not have enough to eat. I am a materialist to that extent; I want something to oat. I have been in coun tries whoro tho laboring man had meat but once a year; sometimes twice—Christ mas and caster. And I have seen women carrying on their heads a burden that no man in this country could carry, and at the same time knitting busily with both hands, and those women lived without meat; and when I thought of the Ameri can laborer, I said to myself, “after all, my country is tho best in tho world.” And when I came back to my country and saw tho beautiful stars and stripes Hying in the air, it seemed to me as though the air from pure joy had burst into blossom. Labor has more to cat and more to wear in the United States than in any other laud of the earth. I want America to produce everything thal Americans need. I want it so if the whole world should declare war against us, so if wo were sur rounded by walls of cannons and bayo nets and swords, we could supply all our human wants in and of ourselves. I want to live to see tho American women dressed in American silk; the American man in everything from hat to boots produced in4 America, by the cunning hand of tho American toiler. I want to see every workingman havo a good house, painted white, gruss in the front yard carpets on tho floor, pictures on the wall. I want to see him a man fooling that ho is a king by tho devino right of living in a republic. And every man hero is just a little bit of a king you know. Everyman hero is a part of the sovereign power. Eyery man wears a little of the purple; Every man haB a little of crown and a little of scepter; and every man that will sell his vote for money or be ruled by prejudice is nnfit to be an American citi zen. I believo in American labor, and I tell you why. The other day a man told me that we had produced in the United States of America one million tons of rails. How much are they worth? Sixty -dollars ajton In other words, the million tons are worth 860,000,000. How much is a ton of iron worthin the ground? JuBt twenty-five cents, worth of iron in the ground and addB to it 859.75, one million tons of rails, and the raw material not worth 824,000. We build a ship in the United States worth S500,000, and the value of the ore in tho earth, of the trees in tho great forest, of all that enters into the composition of that ship bringing 3500,000 in gold, is only S20.000; 8480,000 by American labor, American labor coin ed into gold; American brains mado a legal tender tho world around. Therefore I propose to stand by the nation. I want tho furnaces kept hot. I want tho sky to be filled with tho smoko of Amencau industry, also tho ranges in all tho hotels, especially tho Choteau House, for tho numerous cooks, for tho employment of all cooks. That is what I am for. this year would have helped his party. You know that an early frost would have helped them and been a God send to that party. You know .that a potato bug could haye done them more good. than all their speakers. I wish to belong to thnt party whioh is prosperous when the country is prospérons. I belong to that party which is not poor when the golden billows are running over the seas of wheat. I belong to that party that is prosperous when there are oceans of corn, and when the cattle are all over the hills and praries. I belong to that party which is prosperous when the furnaces are aflame; and when you dig coal, iron silyer, when -cow punchers and cooks, night wranglers and printers all have work and plenty to eat, when everybody is happy, when the children are all going to good schools, and when joy covers my nation as with a garment. That party which is prosperous then, that is my party. G eo . L. B ickler , Shelby, Mont. MONTANA AS VIEWÇD-BY OUTSIDER.'* - The editor of - the Salt a n : O n Saturday last the committee, which was appointed by Vice President Suther- lin, the Montana member of the Omaha Exposition, to select types of Montana beauty, in compliance therewith, held meeting in “ Tho Helena” and chose two photos of young ladies whoso pictures will be used in making tho composite picture that will furnish the design for the reverse side of tho souvenir medal to be used by the exposition. All the membere of the committee were not present, but those present consisted of Oapt. B. E. Fisk, of the Herald; George W. Sikes, of the In dependent, and A. K. Yerkes, ot the Boze man Chronicle. There were twenty-two photographs to select from, and all were the pictures of handsome young women, we are informed. Some of the pictures, it appears, did not meet the requirements announced when the contest was deter mined upon. The most important point was that the photos submitted should show a full profile of head and shoulders. Some of tho number gave front views,and though the charms of the original might have impressed tho beholder, were obviously not suitable for use in the forming of a complete picture that is intended when completed to be a profilo similar to that of the goddess of liberty on our present silver dollar. It appears there were but three candidates voted on. While the two pictures solected will be sent to the com mittee on ways and means for the expo sition, we are told that the remaining twenty will be returned at once by Mr. Sutherlin. They were not mentioned ns first and second choice, for. each will take rank with tho other, and all the states of the west and northwest included within the scopo of the Trans-Mississippi Expo sition who have candidates will have equal rank, too, in the making of the picture. The artist selected to make the model for tho medal is tho inventor of the composite photograph, of New York state. O wing to a bicycle over which we lost temporary control last Sunday evening, our political enemies have been suffered to partially escape the usual weekly screed against them and our friends to suffer from our lack of caution and inex perience in riding a bicycle bare back when on a dead mn and a down grade. As it is, wo are lying nearer death’s door than over before, and at the present writ ing we are not more than 50 or 60 years this side of tho dread portal with a brok en leg, fast depleting treasury and a large family of boys and girls to bump up against our upturned toes as we lie prone and helpless upon our back, a mere wreck cast upon the 6andy beach. But thankB to a large and efficient crew of wreokers, our old hulk is being care fully watched over and every precaution taken to prevent its going to pieces ere the tide comes to fiont it off and into deep water and plain sailing once more. Be sides tbiB, thè' measles have broken out pretty badly in the family which, added to our inability to get out and rustle, greatly adds to ohr condition, which con dition it is more pleasant to imagine than to realize. Numerous friends have and are now doing their level best to save us from the effects of that'rash ride and we hope from the bottom of our heart that success may attend them. T here is but one expression of senti ment as to the outcome of the senatorial fight in Ohio—satisfaction at the result which has returned Mr. Hanna to the Benute. The will of an overwhelming majority of the Ohio republicans finally prevailed and simple justice was done. Mr. Hanna is a strong man. an able man,’ and ho has fairly won the honor 'Which was at last accorded him. IIo was en dorsed almost unar imonsly on iorsed by the state. Nearly every republican coun ty convention endersod him, the state convention at Toledo endorsed him, and he was thereby made ns much the repub-' lican candidate for senator as though the tho election had been by popular vote. was an act which it is difficult to justify from any standpoint. Lake Tribune,. , -*v- * ' Jt-' •« I who has studied ariff become somewhat familiar with Montana and her unbound ed resources and great advantages since his first visit in 1882, and also many of the people who live here, has again written an editorial article for the' holiday edition, and being so highly complimentary to Montana, and especially so to her people, we cannot resist the temptation to give publicity to an extract, as follows : “Montana has, during the past year, produced about her usual mineral har vest of 850,000,000, although ;hér silver yield falls off something over 83,000,000. She makes up the lose, however, in cop per and coal. Sue claims to be the great est of wool-producing states, her clip for the year aggregating 22,000,000 pounds, while the value of her sheep' and wool doubled, as compared with the previous year. The state has done a little rail- read building during the year. She has developed power enough to run her roads and factories by electricity. She is extensively opening her coal mines, a rage for building has kept every ham mer in Butte ringing during the year, and the journals say that the mineraal reserves give more promise of perma nence and continued great production than they did a year ago. A majestic Btate is Montana. She is the. third larg est in size; she has more vacant land, that could be brought under cultivation, arid has more water with wliich to irri gate her lands than any other state ; sho is marvelous in hor mineral wealth, while as a range state no other can compare with her. Her people are what might be expected on such soil and amid suck surroundings. They are strong and brave and capable. They are proud of their state, and proud that they have citizen ship in such a state. They have that kind of pride of ownership which makes them self-respectful, and they are generous, as all people are who aro all the time receiv ing a princely reward for their exertions. They are just such a race as makes it certain that for all time to come, iri peace or in war, the men of Montana can be counted upon to perform their full part as American citizens.” H on . B en .

Chicago o r New York, Tho increased demand abroad for corn has been one of the most satisfactory commercial features of 1897. During the month o f December nearly twice as much corn went to Europe as in the correspond ing month of 1896. The people of Europe are slowly learning that com is good for man as well as beaBt. The total exports of corn last year amounted to 186,000,000 bushels, or nearly 70,000,000 bushels more than in any previous year! In the six years preceeding 1897 the average annual exportations of corn wub only 66,000,000 bnshels. It is clear, therefore, that the various efforts which have been made to bring this king of American cereals into favor with foreigners are beginning to bear fruit. There is no country in the world that can in anywise compote with the United States in growing corn, and if we can establish n large and increasing mnrket abroad for the \product it will bring our farmers untold wealth. What is most needed to insure a general de mand for corn abroad is a knowledge of preparing it for the table. Of the large amount of cornmeal 6ent to Ireland dur ing the famine many years ago, much was wasted, as the poor people could add nothing to it but water, and insisted it was cow feed. Arth.nr H.
