we should be doing injustice TO ourselves,
Injustice to the people of the Territory

yerest censure if we,did not say that we

or and better nation, prepared to take a
higher stand and do a nobler work on
the platform Of history than has ever
vet been allotted to any nation Of the
earth. Montana has scarcely had a two
years. political existence, and already
numbers fifty thousand Inhabitants.
Places of habitation and of business are
dotted all over our fertile valleys, and
our numerous thorouglfares are con-
stantly trembling with the crush Of
merchandise. The gold andstlyer which
the Almighty had long kept hidden and
garnered in our hills and ravines have
been revealed or discovered at q time
when tho nation needs new channels of
flowing wealth to supply her treasury,
and Montana possesses, as well as great
lnsjneraI wealth. alltlose AGRICULTURAL re-
sources So well calculated to make her
early nomllous andpowerfnl. Atthe same
