CARTER GETS IN LINE.
n< Montana Sanator Gf(M Hit Con
stituent* to Stand by McKinley.
IIbi.rna, Mont, Sept. 10.—United
States Senator Carter has written a
letter to the Republican State con
vention, which meet* to-day, explain
ing tha action ot nimself and the four
other members of tha Montana dels
gatiou to the St Louis convention in
reserving tha right of the Republicans
of tna State to accopt or reject the
financial declaration of the platform
there adopted. The Sanator aaya in
the letter:
"At a Republican I believe fa tha
frea coinage of silver and protection
to American labor and Amerioan in
dustry. I do not believe in free coin
age conpled with frea trade, and I do
not believe that free coinage, eonpled
with free trade, can be successfully
established and maintained by our
government. The free trade policy
will render the establishment of bi
metallism an utter Impossibility. The
attempt to secure free coloage In con
junction with free trade Is an Utopian
dream. After looking the whole sit
uation over, it will be found that the
Republican party haa not declared in
favor of the geld standard, but In
favor of the restoration of silver. I
find in thia particular that it differs
from the opposition platform in the
matter of method.
"I believe that the Republican party
in this behalf ia too conservative, but
aa between the acceptance of the Re
publican party, with its conservative
expression on thia subject, and the
Chicago platform, with Its free trade,
State's rights, free riot and other ob
tactionable features, 1 find no room to
leaitate. I believe it la the clear and
unquestionable duty of the delegates
who assemble under and in conformity
with tha forms and usages of the Re
pnblicen party of this State, ami
as delegates representative of other
people who reside here, to piece in
the field electors favorable to McKin
ley and Hobart The party In Mon
tana should, in mv opinion, indorse
the entire Republican platform, ex
cept as to the feature declaring inter
national condition precedent to the
remonetization of silver. For that
UCLiBI BVIVU »lll« t-WM VM/U •UUHIW
substitute e declaration for the free
coinage of gold and silver, In the name
manner aa our state conventions have
heretofore declared.
“In the future, aa In the past, I
shall stand for protection and free
coinage. Flrmlv believing that the
beet interests of our state end the na
tion at large will be subserved by the
election of McKinley end Uobert, I
■bell give them my support, notwith
standing the national platform does
not meet my approval in one particu
lar.

Kaiuar Citx, Mo., Kept. It.—Will
iam J. lirysn was given an enthusi
astic recaption in Kanwte City this
morning, end after a etay of three
hours, he left for e daylight trip
across Missouri. At 7 he spoke briefly
to two thousand workingmen In the
West bottom*. Two hours later,after
breakfast end an informal reception
at tba Coats, he made a second and
longer speech in the open eir at
Elarenth and Orand avenue before a
crowd of at least 10,000 people.
He eald In part at the bottoms:
“home of our opponent* tell us that
the thing to do is to open the inilla
instead of the mints That remind*
me of the man who aaid that bis horse
would go all right if he could Just get
the wagon started. It is putting the
cart before the horse. What use is
there for mills unless the people can
buy what the mills produce, and how
can you start them as long as those
who produce the wealth of this coun
try, particularly the farmer, are not
able to iret enough out of what they
raise to pay their taxes and interest?
There is no more efTestive wav of de
stroying the markets for what the
mills produce than to lower the price
upon the products the farmer has
raised, so that they will bring him
not enough to pay him for raising
them. ”
It was 8:3ft o'clock when he began
speaking up town. The jam around
the speaking stand was so dense that
it was impossioie lor me itryan party
to get to it, so he stood up in the
tally-ho on which he rode from the
Coatea house, and spoke as follow* In
part:
"Our opponents tail us that we pro
pose to change the operation of nat
ural law. 1 assert that the advocates
of free coinage are the only people in
this campaign who base their argu
ments cn the fundamental principles
of natural law. That law is the law
of supply and demand; it is the great
law of trade. Now we propose to ap
ply that law of supply and demand to
the money question, and we say that
when you increase the demand for
gold by making it the sole standard of
values, you raise its price just as you
raise the price of anything else by in
creasing the demand for it, and that
when you raise the price of gold in a
gold standard country you lower the
price of all products wnlch are meas
ured by money. A gold standard
then means falling prices, and falling
prices means hard times to everybody
except the man who owns money or
trades in money.
“Now, if the money owner has a
right to use the ballot to raise the
value of the mouev which he owns,
why have not all the test of the peo
ple the right to use the ballot to keep
him from destroying the value of the
properly which they own?
"Now another proportion. We be
lieve not only that the free coinage of
silver will raise the value of silver
bullion as measured by gold, but we
believe that the demand created by
the United States will be sufficient to
take all our surplus silver and there
being no silver on the market which
cannot be converted into money at
our mints and used in the develop
ment of our industries. There will
be no silver in the world that can be
purchased for less than Si. 2U per
ounce. Hut our opponents say; ‘Sup
pose we have more money, how are
you going to get any of it?’ That, to
them, is an argument which answers
everything. Let me suggest an argu
ment, or rather a question, which you
can ask them: 'Suppose you have
something to sell, how can you get
anything for it until you Unit some
body who has money to bur it?
Money Is the creature of law. There
can be no money until the govern
ment provides for that money. If you
want more of sny of the products of
labor you can go out and bring them
Into existence: but if you want more
money you cannot go out and create
more money, because the law impusea
a penally—punishment in the peniten
tiary—for anv man who tries to create
money. Therefore, my friends, the
only way to bring more money into
existence is to taue charge of the gov
ernment, which is th* only Instru
mentality, and by law often the mints
and permit the coinage of enough
money for the people to do busiuess
with
“Now I am not permitted to talk to
you but a short time nor have 1
strength enough to go through the
campaign if I should do otherwise I
