7HE WrNDoM PLAN.

Secretary Windom's silver project is
not likely to pass. although it is a step in
advance. The country will never tolerate
any currency which is not uniform and
redeemable in gold or silver interchange
ably Mr.. Windom's offer is a delusion.
1t has not even the support OF the presi
dent, who refers TO it coldly and cvasive-
ly in his message, reminding one Of Pres
ident Llncoln's remark that he had no;
much influence with the administration
The Salt Lake Tribune, which is republi
can, but is loyal to the silver interests OF
Utah, Montana and the entire northwest
regards the Window plan as intended fol
the complete decentralization of silver
The secretary has been in Office eigh,
months. During that time he has failed
to buy silver to the legal limit and has
allowed Mexican producers to pour leat
ore into the country in violation of the
letter and spirit Of the law. Having thus
betrayed the silver and lead interests, i
is not probable that his scheme to ISSUE
silver certificates with silver bullion as
security would be carried out loyalty ane
honestly,
Great Falls tribune., 1889-12-14

terests surrender the compulsory coinage
law which is the only safe guard they
have. He asks them to accept instead a
law which would give the secretary pow
er to suspend temporarily the exchange
notes for silver bullion when necessary
to protect the government against com
binations to give silver fioticious value
The friends of silver will not consent to
any such compromise. Mr.. Window who
has reduced the coinage of silver be-
low the legal limit would be likely to sus-
pend the issue of notes very arbitrarily.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. DECEMBER II. 1889.
SEMI-W WEEKLY
THE CRISIS.

The democratic senators who for p
days have detied the plot and plans Of the
conspirators must not now surrender. In
refusing to aid in perpetrating great
fraud, the democratic senators have done
their duty and won the approval of the
people who elected them. Their conduct
has been approved also by the democratic
party of the United States, which expects
that the Montana democracy will "hold
the fort" and thus hasten the day when
the United States senate will be demo-
cratic, which it would be now if the peo-
pie could exercise their choice untram
melted by republican schemes to defeat
the popular will.
No duty can be higher than to stand as
sentinels at the capital resolved to defeat
the atrocious fraud which the republican
found that the people of Montana had de-
c'ared against them. The obligation that
rests on the democratic senators to
resist this fraud is as binding and as i'm
ptIdIlVt dS Ludt u Iuo SUlultE WIZ lS
placed to defend with his comrades a
strategic position of vital importance. No
democratic senator should abandon his
post unless he has the permission of those
who elected him-permission which we
are sure will never be granted, for the
people abhor fraud and are prepared to
make as great sacrifices themselves as
any senator or representative.
There are some matters on which there
can be no compromise. The patriots of
1776 believed so when they demanded
freedom and nothing less from the British
crown. They endured for years all the
horrors and privations of war rather than
submit. No such sacrifices are imposed
on the democratic senators. They have
simply to maintain the passive resistance
which they have observed so far to the
confusion and perplexity of the couspira
tors. They have right on their side and
will be expected to show as much endur-
ance as those political road-agents who
strive to rob Montana of two United
States senatorships.
Great Falls tribune., 1889-12-14

THE deadlock has its comic as we'll as
its serious aspect. In later years it will
seem absurd that five fellows from Silver
Bow, who have no more title to office
than x. Beidler, were able to prevent the
meeting of the legislature, deprive Mon
tana Of representation in the United
States senate and discredit the state
throughout the union. People may won
deringly ask, as the poet says, how hands
SO vile could conquer hearts so brave.
Great Falls tribune., 1889-12-14
BUSINESS OPPORTUNI7Y ES.

The leading question in eastern and
mid-western homes is: show can we
make more money!" 1t is not greed that
inspires this inquiry, but desire to
enjoy what Burns calls .'the glorious
privilege of being independent" With
out going into detail we will give some
"pointers" for busy readers, with the
view Of showing them how to make
money in Montana.
I. Money has been made by
ranchmen or farmers in north Montana.
Most of them came here without money
at time when the population was sparse
and there were no railroads. They took
up clalms-that is tract of 100 acres-of
the public land and by raising hay, wheat,
potatoes and other farm produce were
able to live in comfort themselves and
put some money by for rainy day. The
opportunities are now better than ever.
There is plenty of good public land with
in moderate distance of railroads. A
great deal of land can be had along the
line of railroad Farm and dairy produce
sells at good prices. The home market
is large and is increasing constantly. The
copper smelter will in itself provide a
home market for much farm produce,
for the thousands Of workmen employed
there will be steady consumers Horses,
farm implements, furniture are cheaper
now than they have been, enabling farm
ers to start on easy terms. If they need
money, the banks and loan agencies will
accommodate them, for they all have con-
| fidence in Montana ranches.
II. Trade-Money has also been made
in trade. The field is not overdone. The
energetic, industrious clerk or salesman
may fairly expect to have store Of his
own in some of the new towns and settle
ments that are founded yearly. Salaries
| are better than in the east. Profits are
reasonable. The people are enterprising.
The prospects of acquiring partnerships
in stores are good. The general credit
Of the country is also good. The young
| merchant who makes tair showing aad
has good reputation can get all the
goods he needs on time. Many stores
that were started within the last few
years, are now strong concerns. We
advise young merchants to come and
judge for themselves.
III. Labor-Miners, carpenters, ma
sons, brick-layers, plasterers and other
skilled workmen earn good wages in
Great Falls and the country around.
Ordinary labors are also in request, es-
pecially in the spring and fall months.
Many men now own ranches or
farms who began life as laborers.
They made enough money at their trades
to supprt them them while they lived on
their claims until it was time to prove up.
The prospects for industrious, temperate
men were never better in Montana.
When any particular tr;.de becomes over
crowded it is easy for workmen to find
employment in other localities which are
readily accessible.
Should further particulars be desired
the TRIBUNE will readily provide them
on application, or it will put people in
the way of learning accurate, trustworthy
information.

CHICAGO and New York will soon lock
horns in congress on the exhibition pro-
ject. The aim of each, will be to secure
official standing, for without such, foreign
governments will not concern themselves
in the project Chicago IS likely to win.
The northwest calls for magnificent
display of American products, in city
which will be in itself noble exhibition
of western growth. If New York under
stood her true interests she would stand
aside and let Chicago take the lead.
Gotham would profit by the enterprise, as
we'll as the Garden CITY,

MONTANA has copper, silver and lead
ores in limitless quantity. Large profits
can be made by reducing these ores
Here rests the strong position of Great
Falls. In no part of Montana are the con.
ditions so good for the economical reduc
ton Of ores as here Hence, it follows
as u matter of course, that this is the
place where the ores will be brought fol
reduction. Mine-owners are not gov
erned by whim or sentiment. In estab-
fishing smelters, they go where the ores
can be reduced on the best terms.

THE democratic members of the senate

The democratic members of the senate
of Montana addressed a very courteous
letter TO their colleagues of the republi-
can party, asking that a committee com
posst! Of three of each party be appointed

whether or not fraud was committed.
This is lair proposition and ought to
have been accepted but it not. -l,oze

Great Falls tribune., 1889-12-14

We say confidently to farmers, miners
and capitalists in other states that law
and order will be maintained in Montana
despite the misconduct of the republican
boilers. The union came out resplenden,
and glorious from greater perils thar

feel any alarm? The ship of state will
not be wrecked by the false lights dis
played by the Silver Bow imposters.

THE Red Lodge Picket expresses terse-

issues his proclamation calling US to as

EDISON foresees great future for
electricity. In reply to an inquirer he
says: you ask me about the future of
electricity. 1t is the coming motive
power. 1t will be used on all railroads
some day, but the point is to get an econ
ical engine. Ny theory is to have i'm
mense dynamos located all along the line
of the road and have the electricity con-
veyed from these stationary engines to
the locomotives by wires through the
rails. For example, I would put two big
engines between New York and Phila-
delphia, and enough power would be
furnished to whisk the limited at the rate
of 10o miles per hour" At Great Falls
electricity will find full scope when the
mighty water power af the Missouri pro-
puces it in almost limitiess quantity.

been eating the hard tack OF obscurity for
twenty-five lcng years, but nothing In all
that democratic rush for the spoils si vic.
tory will compare with the utter heartless-
ness OF two republican spoils hunters who
live IN Salem. Some weeks ago when the

was cast down on a bed OF sickness and
every one knew that death was near al
hand, these two "civil service reformers,' y
as typIfied in Harrison's letter of accept.
ance, were rushing over the city with petit
tons asking to be appointed as postmaster
at that place svAea a raeaaep sksaid esea,

death of Mr. Dearborn. The mad ambition
for Office makes fools OF great man,
