The Helena Board Of Trade Mt their
meeting protested against the stopping
OF the coinage Of silver, m~emoialized
Congress to continue it at the present
rate. Experience for the past five
years has demonstrated that the fears
are groundless that the coinage of silver
dollars would drive gold out Of the coun-
try and that silver would not DO accept
ed as n medium Of circulation. Silver
mining is Montana's chief industry, and
the memorialists ask that IT be protected.

republican voters, at the spring caucuses

pointed to county conventions first step
IN the presidential campaign, and an i'm
portant one-and candidates to be named

tanning full, fair and free expression of the
choice of the party, is by full attendance
on the primary meetings. If you have not
sufficient interest in the matter to attend the
caucuses, don't kick and growl about what
is done by those who do attend, and don't
bolt the ticket. The caucus is the place to
make your influence felt in the selection of
candidates, and, if you neglect your duty in
that respect it is pre-eminently unfair, for
you to assist in defeating the candidates

No. lac, Laws of 1883. The act is not an
amendment of the law under which the

fuller census than has ever. yet been taken

The Morrison Bill.

Chairman Morrison and his committee
have succeeded in placing the democratic
party in avery embarrassing situation. Start
ing out with the idea that there was to be a
great popular demand for free trade, a tidal
wave, as it were, that would carry the demo-
cratic party on its crest, into full possession
of all branches of the government, they
elected free trade Carlisle az the Speaker of
the House, and with grand flourish of their
political trumpet, they proclaimed the true
test of genuine democracy, to be free trade,
and revenue reform.
But it has not proved to be as smooth sailing
for the ancient democratic hulk. as it's man
agers expected, and already it has encount
cred a disastrous storm and is fiounderinC
among the breakers, and Morrison, Carlisle
d Co.. are vainly trying to calm the tumult by
pouring oil on the troubled waters. In other
words, the free trade democrats have sue
oeeded in placing their party in such posi-
ton that split in its ranks seems to be al
most inevitable. Mr.. Morrison has encount-
cred an unexpected opposition in the house
of his political friends, large number of
whom do not believe in free trade, and re-
fuse to be lashed into submission by the
crack of the political whip, whether welded
by King Caucus, or otherwise, and they
declare that the passage of the Morrison bill
means certain and sure defeat for the demo-
Gratis in the approaching campaign. On the
other hand, should the bill be withdrawn,
then the free trade wing, who declare that a
vigorous prosecution of the tariff bill is the
only salvation for the party, will kick over
the political traces, and refuse to work in
harmony with the anti-free traders.
The republicans look calmly down on this
democratic tempest and smile placidly. II
is none Of their fight and they can afford to
smile.
