Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1876-02-03

THE people OF Helena are kind, courteous
and attentive to the Legislators and throng.
of visitors in their midst. We had the pleas
IRE of attending one Of the soirees of the
Pioneer Club. The hall was spacious, mu-
sic excellent, ladies abundant and exceed
ingly bewitching, and joy intense. We
We're almost captiyated by the charms of city
life. For while it is honorable and all that
to be from the rural districts, it is pleasant
enough to be a city gent.
Monday morning we took the coach for
Radersburg. 1t was rather an airy berth on
the boot OF the coach, but we always liked
the open air, and this time it was both choice
and necessity, as the inside was full. It was
quite cold-about 22o below-but ourfellow
travellers We're each well provided with a
spirit thermometer and although as the
day advanced the spirits continued to 90
down, until they were imperceptible, still
u party were kept warm with mirth and
merriment. On leaving the dinner station,
III little party took possession of the coach
and elected us to hold the strings, but at the
same time signified to our good-nat,red
driver that we meant no %offense, but were
merely II on a little North Pacific tear.
We really believe that the coach was drunk.
from the way it topled from side to side, but
1t kept on its wheels and our team on the 90.
The essence of corn and rye stirring the
souls OF our passengers, swelled forth in the
merrianeht Of song as we jostled along.
We reached Radersburg in due. time. f.

what the railroad company hold out that
they shall receive. Like propositions here
tofore have always been fair upon their face,
but in the cunningness of their construction
the fatal trap has been laid. These things
are purely business transactions in which
both parties are equally concerned, and
should either get the best of it, it is consid-
cred legitimate. Hence, the necessity OF be-
ing cautious in guarding our interests.
1t is generally understood that the farm
ers, and the farmers movement, are OPP
posed to railroads, but such is not necessari-
" the case. They are antagonistic to whole
sale plumber and high-handed robbery of
which some railroads are guilty. And, al
though we accord to the North Pacific hon
esty of purpose and %uprightness in dealing,
it is well to remember the words, " lead us
not into temptation" and leave no hinge or
loop to hang doubt upon-no weak points
which will subject us solely to the honesty
of the company and their successors.
There is not a man in Montana who has
her dearest interest at heart, but will hail
with joy the resumption of work upon the
North Pacific, and but few who are not will
ing to extend any aid that we reasonably
can, to assist. And, while we think that
this can and will be done and shall lend our
aid to it to such an extent as we deem wise
and prudent for the Territory, we will not
shut our eyes to the lessons of experience,
nor in wild enthusiasm for results to be at
tanned by the carrying of the project to sue
cess, forget the disaster to which a failure to
comply with the stipulations would subject
us. r.
We have an abiding faith in this great
highway from the great lakes to the Pacific,
and also in the rich agricultural and mineral
region through which it will pass. Let it
but start forward again, and the strong arm
of Civilization from Montana will go forth
to meet it. The country along its line will
stir with life and activity, and their immense
land grant be to them a source. OF untold
wealth.

men differ in opinion, for il is only by dis
cussion and the comparison of views that
correct conclusions are arrived at. Discus
SION for such purposes, is wise and prudent,
but 1t Is useless to try to convince any per-
SOD against his will. Hence we shall not
attempt to convert the Muscular to our
way of thinking but we are here to defend
the interests we advocate from any and all
attacks-to stand sentinel upon the tower
and give the alarm when the omens please
Ills not, and if need be, do battle in their
cause. We are glad our friend has been so
frank as to admit the major part of our prop
%osition, but he errs greatly if he thinks that
business cooperation among the farmers is
a failure; in proof Of this we need but refer
him to our correspondence signed "Sy,"
which we published last week.
AS to the price of sewing machines, that
was reduced before the expiration of the
patents. But we merely cited this because
most familiar. We might have enumerated
hundreds of articles. Mowers, reapers,
threshers, and nearly every other agricultu-
raj implement, has heen reduced in price to
thef farmer, while the manufacturer realizes
the same profitas before. Our logical friend
will do well to guess again. And perhaps,
he would do well to inquire of his neighbors
as to how they are succeeding, before MAX
ing such seemingly astounding assertions.
There is a disposition on the part of some
newspapers to create a feeling of antagon-
ism between all other classes and the farm
ers, and especially those who are members
of the order Of Patrons of Husbandry. They
insinuate that the Order is composed Of
croakers and grumblers, whose chief merit
is to complain of their grievances. But the
truth is, it is composed of the very best farm
ers in America. Tits a condition which they
have been forced to accept through necessity
AL other classes were organized, and con-
sequently they were compelled to take
this step to protect their interests. And in
their organized capacity, are quietly pursll-
ing their vacations without any attempt to
regulate the business of others. They are
not attempting to infringe upon the rights
and privileges of any other class, and are
satisfied with preventing other classes from
infringing upon their rights.
If they make a mistake, they alone will
suffer for it,. While they will no doubt
thank their we'll wishers for their good adj
vice, it is certainly their %prerogatiyc to ac-
cept it or not as they think proper.

LAST week we gave an account of what
we thought to be alarge calf, but from the
following it will be seen that a Marylander
has beaten us by several pounds:
The Frederick (Md.) Eransiner says
"Mr. Ezra Houck, Jr., residing about two
miles northeast Of this city, near Worman's
Mills, has a COW that lately gave birth to a
calf which weighed, when ten hours old,
$50 pounds"

In referring to the spirit of the Territorial
press upon the proposition of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, the Bozeman Times saws:
"The HUsBANDMAN, claiming for itself the
special organising of the Changers of Mon
tana, throws cold water upon the project.n
We supposed the Times understood plain
English, but from the above our readers will
naturally be inclined to decide to the con-
trary. If the revelation of facts regarding
the frauds that have been perpetrated upon
the people by railroad companies, assisted
by corrupt legislators, has anything to do
with the North Pacific proposition, it is
more than we were aware Of. Should
the North Pacific representatives have taken
exception to our words of warning, while
we had the charity to accord to them hon
esty of purpose, we should have had doubts
for honesty does not care to be properly
restrained, and theft needs to be.
In making a trade it is the privilege of
and few men will declare their readiness to
accept a bargain when the party with whom
they are dealing indicate a willingness to do
better. We did not Jump at the proposition
of the North Pacific, because they plainly
stated it was not an ultimatum. We do not
retract a single sentence. History raises its
warning voice to the people, saying, beware
of railroad companies! They are powerful
monied corporations. They have controlled
our halls of legislation and have traduced
our tribunals of justice. 1t is almost impos-
sible to get a decision from the Bench that
is not colored by their influence, and to sit
quietly by and allow a people to tie their
own hands, without parading these facts be-
fore their understanding, is worse than
criminal.
We declared ourselves plainly nfavor of
extending aid to the North Pacific; pro-
vlded, suitable safeguards be thrown around
the interests of the people, to ensure them
what they expect from the proposition, and

tered situation, but like most of the mining
towns, its glory has began to wane. There
is still a good business done here. The town
consists of several stores, two or three
saloons, a livery stable, blacksmith shop,
two good hotels, and quite a number of neat
private residences; also, a fine court house.
school house, and a well conducted school
of twenty-five or thirty scholars; also, an
interesting Sabbath school. Radersburg is
situated favorably to became a place of con-
siderable importance. A broad, fertile val
ley on one side, and a rich region of mines
of silver and gold on the other, and situated
on a great thoroughfare between Montana's
eastern Metropolis and the Capital. A
brighter future, no doubt, is in store for it
than is to-day anticipated.
Tuesday we loitered about town, calling
on old time friends, and Wednesday, return
to Helena. We found the city, upon our re-
turn, in a fever of excitement upon the rail
road subject. A large delegation had just
arrived from Bozeman hot for the North
Pacific. But strange to say, a number of
Helena's widest railroad fanatics, who but
a few short months ago, cried railroad we
must have regardless of cost or consequent
ces," were off on economy and reform, max
ing long arguments about bankruptcy, end
less taxation, and the woe and misery which
would be entailed upon our people by loan
ing our credit to the railroad. 90! consis-
tency, thou art a jewell" The little circle
with it's narrow gauge, and an outright mill
ion and a half subsidy, is growing beauti-
fully less. We agree with our narrow gauge
friends as to the danger attending the deal
ing with corporations the lamentable effect
often produced the taxation, etc, that
threatens. If the North Pacific proposition
be a steal, it will bankrupt the country.
Voting a million and a half to the Utah
Northern could not do less. Therefore, let
us invest where there is a show to get our
moneys worth, and where there is a posi-
bility of escaping the dire calamity referred
to-. We believe that the North Pacific has
friends enough, provided the Governors sig-
nature can be s~ecured-that is, should the
interests of the people be properly guarded
to secure aid for it.
Friday morning we took the coach, and
before the sun had reached the snowy peaks
of the western range, We're at home. This
demonstrated the fact thatP. B. Clark's line
is a first-class one, making as good time as
in ummer.
