THE EFFECT IN MONTANA.

Belief That the Copper Output Will Not
BE Materially Reduoed.
HELENA, Mont, March l9.-The re-
port of the bursting of the French cop
per syndicate was not much Of q sur
prise to the Montana copper miners, as
such news has been expected for several
days. The Montana copper mines in
the syndicate comprise the Boston and
Montana, and the Anaconda and Butte
reduction works, the aggregate output
being 12,0O0,0OO pounds a month. An
official Of the Boston and Montana, re-
ferring to the effect of the collapse,
says: "If this news proves true,
the result will be the shutting
down Of all producers which are not in
the syndicate. The recent high price of
copper has induced the smaller opera
tors to work their properties, but with
the failure of the pool the price of cop
per will fall, and the result will be that
small mines will close. Both the Boston
and Montana and Anaconda can pro-
duce copper as cheaply, if not cheaper,
than any other company in the country.
At cents pound either our company
or the Anaconda can mine copper at a
profit, though, of course, at 1S cents a
pound the stockholders are happy. My
opinion is that the big Montana pro-
ducers will keep on as usual, though of
course the profits will be smaller.

TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA.

As showing the Importance to the
United States of the Pan-American con-
gress now about to assemble in Washing
ton, in view of the object for which was
called, i. e. to devise some means that
may be agreed upon by the respective
countries concerned by which an amic-
able commercial reciprocity may be es-
tablished, the following brief resume of
the trade relations between our southern
neighbors and ourselves, and they and
our European rivals for their trade, will
be of especial interest, presenting as the
statement does, the situation as 1t now
is and the disturbances and Importance
of a change:
1.-The commerce of the countries south
of us reach yearly valuation Of bill
lion dollars. Last year our imports
thence were ISL, 900, 900, exports hence
81 100000, while England from and to
them, imported $61 900, 900 and exported
$116,0 1000. while France bought $780,
100000 and sold $75, 100000. In round
numbers, in an aggregate of exports,
specifying articles, England showed in a
total of$94 900, 000-in cotton goods alone
SAC, 800, 000-and the United States 81,
100000. In iron and steel England ag-
gregated $21, 750, 900: the United States
S7,500,000. In wooden goods England
had $4,000, 900; the United States $780,

STANLEY'S WHEREABOUTS.

The New York Sun says that accord
ing to the dispatch just received from
Captain Wissmann, Stanley's expedition
may be expected to reach Zanzibar in
the latter part of December. Mpwapwa
is a we'll known mission station nearly
$50 miles inland on the direct route be-
tween Zanzibar and Lake Tanganyika.
Captain Wissmann's dispatch says that
Mr.. Stanley is accompanied by Emin
Pasha, Sig. Casati, the Italian explorer
who for years has been sharing the for
tunes of Emin, and six Englishmen
The six Englishmen who are accompany
ing Stanley clear across the continent
are Lieutenant Stairs, Mr. Nelson, Mr.
Jephson, DR.. Parkes, Mr.. Bonny, and
Stanley's servant, William. Mr.. Bonny
was originally with Barttelot's rear
guard at Yambuga, and he was the only
white man left at Bunalya to take care
of the Emin stores after Barttelot's tragic
death. Stanley found him there a year
ago last August and took him back to
Albert Nyanza with him.
1t is useless to comment upon the re-
port that Emin and Casati are accom-
panying Stanley to the coast until we
know we have the facts in the case. 1t
is we'll known that Emin never intended
to desert his province as long as he was
able to hold on, and it is quite certain
that he has not abandoned the Upper
Nile unless compelled to do so by adverse
circumstances.

A GOOD THING TO HAVE.

The wholesale purchasing of properties
IN this country by capitalists from Eng
land and the European states is causing
serious thought to some of our more con-
sentative citizens. To our mind it is an
encouraging augury. Certain it Is that the
purchasers cannot remove the properties,
and it is equally certain that they will
not permit them to became imperative.
On the contrary it will be their purpose
to make their new acquisitions as profit
able as possible, and in order to do this
they will have to extend the markets for
their products. In this event the milling
and elevator properties acquired by for
eign capitalists cannot fail to prove bene-
fetal to the farming interests-anything
that will increase the demand for farm
products will not only increase the
profits of production but also call for
more labor in every stage of the per-
Torrance, from seeding the land for the
augmented crop to the delivery Of the
finished product, in whatever form. to
the consumer Then add to the benef-
cent effects the added millions of cash to
our operating capital, and the result of
the innovation, if it may be SO termed,
will unavoidably be felt eXtant and by
every department of industry and trade.
Good money is one of the good things
that there IS not much danger Of having
too much of.

MORMONS IN TERRITORIES.

The reports from the governors Of the
portance, Arizona and Idaho, are partic-
ularly noticeable as they deal with the
Mormon problem as it exists outside of
Utah. Governor Wolfley, of Arizona,
says: Morally and politically they are
an unwelcome and dangerous element.
Arizona had law DISTINGUISHING all who
practiced, taught or encouraged polyga-
my. The first legislative act signed by
my late predecessor was the repeal Of
that act. l request and urge that con-
gress repeal the repeating act and re-es-
tablish the above territorial law. Po-
litically the Mormons seem to have
adopted the plan of sending colonies or
stakes to the surrounding territories in
sufficient numbers to form balance of
power between the two political parties.
They are willing to trade with either, but
remain true only SO long as the interests
of the church are best served. The
church Is their law, and all other law is
subservient to the orders of the church.
They are, therefore, most dangerous
and INSCRIPTIONS factor in politics, with
out regard to party"
Governor Shoup. of Idaho, states that
there are more than $4,000 people in
Idaho who are adherents to the Mormon
faith. The population of the territory is
113, 557. Polygamy is not at the present
time openly practiced, but the governor
saws that it is practiced secretly to a
limited extent, no doubt, as indictments
are found in nearly every term of the
court held, and number of convictions
have been made. He states, however.
that he has reason to believe that divis-
ion of sentiment is springing up in the
church on the subject of the practice of
polygamy. Under the constitution
polygamy will be prohibited and the in
Sertion of this provision may be regard
ed as the expression of the voice of the
people of the territory ON this subject.
Certain is it that the presence of the
Mormons in these territories will mill
tate against any effort to accept them as
states. unless they shall come in with
constitutional PROVISIONS providing. in
effect, for the elimination of the polyga-
NOUS faith of the Mormon church.
