The Anaconda Standard recounts partisan blame for silver's decline, arguing Republicans destroyed silver as money by advancing a monetary policy that makes silver a pariah. It contrasts Democratic eras, silver purchases, and recent legislation with calls to reframe free coinage amid party divides.
The piece rails at a Montana political paper for opposing silver while praising Republican stands. It argues both parties dislike silver, but only one has courage, questions Democratic policies, and asserts copper and other industries prosper under Republican policy.
The Inter Mountain endorses no outside advice as 417 delegates meet in the state capital to nominate a state ticket and adopt a plain fearless platform. The GOP aims to unite, restore Montana’s good name abroad, protect workers, and guarantee equal justice to all investors, courting a sweeping victory.
A Montana discussion notes that no democratic paper supports free silver this year while candidate bimescu avoids the issue. It recalls four years of silver advocacy when money was scarce and farm prices low, now reversed as money is plentiful and wages good. The piece mocks papers that push the old argument and praises the silver republicans for adapting.
The publican party shifts focus from silver while the Democratic press keeps hammering the old silver stance. Editors at the Anaconda Standard, Butte Miner, and Helena Independent face reader questions as they balance past silver arguments with current issues and audience reactions.
The Standard reprints ex Senator Edmunds of Vermont arguing that the Philippines belong to the United States by international law and payoff. He says the inhabitants are U S citizens or subjects and that dropping the Philippines would have left Manila to massacre or foreign control. He cannot support Bryan and Stevenson and urges a pro US stance to preserve national interests and humanity.
Helena readers are asked to study questions about abandonment of Porto Rico and Hawaii, government ownership of railroads, and a Kansas City convention vote on a silver declaration. The piece cites Joseph H. Manley and wage data from labor groups, with Gompers references and export growth through 1900 to argue prosperity under current policies.
The piece contrasts McKinley era gains with Harrison and Cleveland, noting higher exports of manufactured goods in 1900 and growing farm prosperity. It cites wheat and corn production, domestic consumption versus exports, and savings bank totals under different administrations to illustrate national growth.
Chicago Tribune notes Charles A Townes critique of Theodore Roosevelt as eccentric in a speech at the League of Republican Clubs convention in St Paul Townes, once a party bolter and now a Democratic challenger, argues Roosevelt is an incorrigible eccentric from a political view.
The piece extols Governor Roosevelts eccentric approach to policy over personal interest and criticizes rivals for lacking such independence. It argues eccentricity can curb corruption and improve public service, urging rivals to adopt a similar dignified silence instead of attacking.
