1t will be seen by the above statement
that over Two Million dollars were paid
into the First National for transmission
to other places, during the twelve months
referred to, OF which nine months are in
the current year. These remittances are
Of nearly all kinds and represent the cir
cult which money makes on its way to
the mercantile house which sold the
goods. 1t is noteworthy, however, that
the transactions are not speculative.
They do not belong to that class Of bust
ness which at Duluth, Chicago and New
York swell so much the bank clearings
without representing sound, ordinary
business transactions.
1t will also be seen from this statement
that Great Falls is doing a big business in
wool, cattle and general merchandise.
She is the mart for broad, rich country,
which this year has had fat steers, large
wool clips and good crops. In conse-
quehte the people have bought freely
hard III .. dry goods, groceries, farm i'm
pleaaMk and general merchandise, which
our merchants have paid for in due
course by the drafts issued by the First
National. 1t should be noted that the
above total does not represent all the out
ward business of the city, for the Bank
Of Great Falls also deals in exchange and
considerabl@ ealils are paid in other chan
nels. On sic Wlu,a Great Falls has rea-

cises. and B. R. johnson acted as funer-

the character of Mr.. Ramage. As a
good and Just man he had the esteem of
all, and principle endorsed by him he
maintained regardless of results affect
ing himself or his business. He was
prominent in public affairs, and was a
man of sound judgment in his private
and business life. 4 good, kind neigh

HOT SHOT FROM FLOPPERs.

HOT SHOT FROM FLOPPERS.
The New York SIM, contrary to its
usual practice" publishes three letters
in its Sunday issne, with the remark;
THE authors we know to be what they
profess, Democrats of the old school,
and all declare that in the coming cleo
ton they are resolved to vote against
the candidates of the party" The Su1l
does not agree with the conclusions
reached by these writers, and appeals to
them to consider well the course they
take. They are reminded that while the
platform is not to the liking of many
Democrats, and While the candidate for
President is not above criticism, still he
was fairly and unanimously nominated,
and the causes of complaint are of a
temporary and passing nature.
"E. R. D." is the first complainant in
order. He says: II believe Mr.. Cleve-
land to be the most perfect example of
selfish ambition and political cunning
this country has ever produced since the
days of Aaron Burr"
The next, "An Essex county Demo-
crat," says he has "always been Dem
Ocrat and at the same time firm be-
lever in the protective tariff" While
on the stump in 1880 and 1884 the writer
took the position that the Democratic
party was in favor Of protection, but the
tendency of the President is now un-
qualifedly to free trade. "This commu-
nication," says the writer, does not rep
resent my sentiments alone, but the SEN
timents of many"
The last of the three signs himself,
"One Who Has Not Protection Enough" J"
He says: "As an American mechanic
and lifelong Democrat, voice the SEN
timentS of more than dozen of my fel-
low workmen when 1 say cannot vote
for Cleveland. l tell you the party lead
ers are ctazy. They do not know how
strong the protection spirit is implanted
in the wage-earners. 1t is not ques-
ton of Democrat or Republican, but
bread or no bread"
The identity and character of these
writer's being vouched for by so eminent
an authority, their statements are enti-
tied to all the more weight. They show
that for every one who makes public
the fact that he has Topped, dozen or
more have made up their mind quietly
to do the same thing.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1888-08-02

IT is rumored in New York that the
British advocates of free trade have
raised $10,O00000, which they intend to
place at the disposal of the Democratic
campaign committee to assist in the
election of Cleveland. Considering the
interest which English manufacturers,
merchants and importers have in the
success of the Mills bill and similar leg
islation in this country, the investment
would be a safe one should the contri-
button bring about the desired end. The
British would be better off by keeping
their money, for all their gold will not
be sufficient to re6lect Cleveland and a
free trade Congress.
