SENATOhJ OLORUE U 5H0LP. j Telia Why the Mountain and Western 6tateg Will Co for McKinlcy and Iloosevclt. There are many reasons wlilch Impel Im-pel tlie Voters of the mountain states' to support the nominees ami tlie policy of the lh puhlicau party this fall. One w-ord more than any other explains tlie position of our people In this ui-port, ui-port, und that Word Is couhilciice. The record of tiie Kepublican party Is a record of fulnlh-d promise, l'our year ago we promised the people of the l iiited States that if the lh-puh-lic.-in patty was returned to power tlie Ioiicf which it would pursue would reuit in intieh material prosperity throughout the laniL Kvcrjt piedge made at that time ha been faithfully kept nn.l our people have wituessed a revival of industry and of commercial activity unprecedented In American history. The f.rst n't of the party after Its return to power was the enactment of tlie l'ingley tariff law. which again placed us on a protection basis. In this great vave of prosperity the i"-o-!ic i f every state and territory have l-e, i, I. i.e .i ,;. . but ii'-nc to a greater great-er ih-gf. e than those who n side in thee gnat mountain nates of the Noriliwcst. Take, lor example the In m-lit which fc'.ve iiccrj.-d to my own state. Idaho. Among our principal industries are nninng. cattie and sheep growing; and fanning. Idaho is one of the largest had producing nates In the worid. I ii-h-r the free trade administration of rresiiient Cleveland lead milling was ui.prot-table. as we had to compete com-pete With the producer of Mexico, who employed cheap labor, and were therefore able to undersell the American Ameri-can prodin-cr, who paid American wage,. To-day tlie gnat bad iniucs of tlie state are wolfing every man possible at wages of .;.." per day of eight hom. loir tig tne thru- years of l'ies,dint MeKitihy's a.liniii'-tra-t.otl tlie value of the had produced lu tlie state w as U.l U.Ci. w hile during the last three year of president presi-dent Cleveland's administration the total value was only tT.s-1 . I'd. an Increase In-crease of between six and seven mil-Poll mil-Poll dollars. I iocs anyone think that these men will vote the lcoiocralic ticket? Our sheep have ml van. -id In price from ?1 l." to ."J per head, a gaiu to the I pie of tlie state of over tiiree million dollars in tlie value of the sheep alone. In tue year ls-ij the wool cl.p of Idaho was valued ut H-.Vi. while lor the year 1i it Is estimated that It will Lring to the wool growers of the state :..:;, Not one of the many who depend upon this great industry will this ji-nr vote for the party which stands for low tariff and a (oiistipn-tit decrease in our exports and increase in our imoits. Our cattle men, too. have protited greatly at the hands id the lh-pMbiaan party.
