In view of the larger experience of our
English friends in cooperative enterprises,
and their greater hazard in the adventure
now proposed, we should defer much to
their Judgment in details. They furnish the
capital, only requiring us to take $4,000 of
stock as an assurance of our sympathy and
cooperation. The question of interest was
an important one. It was fixed in the orig
inal articles at eight per cent. They have
now agreed to be governed by the rates of
the Bank of England, as above stated. Let
this international commerce be established
ON a thoroughly cooperative basis, and the
Incidents to it will be scarcely less valuable
to us than the direct object. Direct trade
between our southern ports and Europe will
alone to secure to us the immigration we so
much need. A closer acquaintance with
our English friends may assure them of the
economy Of bringing capital, machinery and
skilled labor to this country, where the raw
material and food are produced upon which
they depend. .

THE following preamble and resolutions,
adopted at a recent meeting Of Bozeman

WHEREAS, certain public journals O Mon-
tana Territory, only advocating the inter-
ests of a few monied men, ~disregarding the

efforts in the columns of such papers to de
feat early railroad connection with the outer
world; thereby depriving the citizens of
cheaper and more direct transportation to
and from the Territory by their unjust
and unwarrantable action they have driven
both men and capital from the territory to
seek homes and investments in other local
tiles not naturally as worthy as our own
Territory but more accessible to railroads
and others means of speeding transporta-
tation by defeating the bill to encourage
the n. P. r. r. Co., in completion of their
road within our limits, they have placed
barriers in the way, thereby d~iscouraging
emlgfaJlOn anQ CaplGaI from coming among
us, Gripping our revenue and causing q de-
preston in all branches of business greatly
retarding improvements which are very
essential to our future welfare; therefore.

with, and withdraw our patronage from all
journals that do not advocate the interests
of the people generally.

liar resolutions.
