Mr.. Wanamaker has made no i'm
provement in the two cent stamps.
When the cnange from green TO red
was made in the fours it was stated
that it was done because the tonrs and
twos were too much alike in color, and
too apt 10 be mistaken for each other.
Now comes the two cent stamp changed
to the same, or practically the same
red as the four cent stamps, and the
old difficulty is restored. Beside this
the new two cent stamp is an eighth OF
an inch shorter than il should be for
symelry, and it is printed on inferior
paper. Mr.. Wanamaker would do
well to return to the two cent stamp
which he has discarded.

Song of the Summer Winds.
BY GEORGE DARLEY.
Up the dale and down the bourne.
O'er the meadow swift we ilY;
Now we sing, and now we mourn,
Now we whistle, now we sigh.
By the grassy -fringed river,
Through the murmurlng reeds we swcel
Mid the lily-leaves we qutyrr,
TO their very hearts we creep.
Now the maiden rose in blushing
At the fIolic things we say,
While aside her cheek we're rushing,
Like some truant bees at play.
Through the blooming groves we rustic,
!,issIng every bud we pass,-
As we did IL in the hustle.
Scarcely knowing how IL was.
Down the glen, across the mountain,
O'er the yellow heath we roam,
Whirlng round about the fountain,
Till It's little breakers foam.
Bending down the we, ping willows,
While our Vesper hvmn we sigh;
Then unto our rosy pillows
On our weary wings we he
There Of idlenesScs dreaming,
Scarce from waking we refrain,
Moments long u ages dceming
Til we're at our play again.

Sherman Talks on Silver,

WASHINGTON, June Sin tie argu
ment for the silver bill and against free
silver coinage Senator Sherman said to-
day that the result of free coinage would
be to damage domestic gold. Free coin
age Of silver would be a reversal of the
established policy Of the government
from the beginning. 1t would limit the
coinage to a single metal which would be
silver. As sure as fate silver with free
coinage would be only the standard of
money In the United States.
In conclusion Mr.. Sherman said he
would vote for any measure that would,
in his judgment, secure and maintain a
bimetallic standard or that would not de.
monetize gold nor cause it to be boarded
or exported, and that would establish
both gold and silver as a common stand
ard at a fixed ratio, not only in the United
States, but in all nations of the world.
This was no time for a radical change of
public policy which seemed to have no
motive except to reduce the burden of
obligations freely undertaken. Such
change was likely to impair the public
credit and produce disorder and confu
sion IN all monetary transactions. 9th
ers might wish for a change but he pre-
ferred to it the standard of value that
had the approval and sanction of every
party which had administered the gov.
eminent since its beginning.

MATCHLEss IRON DEPOSITS,

The Basis of an Extensive Industry at
Great Falls.
TOTHE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE: Your
editorial OIL the iron resources of this re-
gion was read with much interest. Your
only error was in not stating the case
strong enough. If there are any other
places In Montana or in the north that
possess equal advantages with Great Falls
for manufacturing steel and iron, they
are unknown up to this date. Our ad-
v%antages in this respect are far superior
to those of Birmingham, Alabama, from
the fact that Jul ores greatly excel any
ores in the South.
Throughout the iron ore districts of that
favored country there are no ores suitable
for making steel, by the Bessemer pro
cess, except in the Cranberry mountains
OF western North Carolina; while the
iron ores of the Great Falls region are
equal to the choicest steel ores Of Lake
Superior. Eastern people will tell you
that the iron ores of the United States are
confined to the mineral district of Lake
Superior, whereas within distances from
Great Falls, ranging from twenty to fifty
miles, are found steel ores Of the highest
type, and in quantities sufficient to meet
the demands of this western empire for
all time.
In conjunction with our ores we have
coking coal and a vein of coal especially
fitted for the smelling of iron ores and
also limestone in abundance. To add to
the importance of these pos
sessed by Great Falls for the manufac-
ture of steel and iron, all the material
for making them can be brought to
Great Falls over descending grades.
The time will certainly come, and I be-
lieve it is not far off, when the steel and
iron industry of Great Falls will surpass
all Others and will give employment to
thousands of men.
give below two analyses of iron ore
from the adjacent mountains:

A Large Increase in Money Orders and
General Business.

A Large Increase in Money Orders and
General Business.
The express business of any town is a
good standard by which to Judge of its
condition. As the town retrogrades or
progresses SO will the express business.
The business conducted here during the
month of May amounted to $2,736. Al.
The business for May, 1880, was about
$1,400. The money order business for
May, 1890, was $3,657.24, while that for
May, 1889. did not exceed $500. These
figures show that the express business
here increased 100 per cent, while the
corresponding figures for the money Or
der business show the astonishing IN
crease of 1900 per cent.
This increase of business is not only a
solid compliment to the popularity and
excellence of the company's service, but
is the strongest recommendation which
Mr.. L. w. Curtis, their popular agent
here, could receive. He is always at his
post and by his genialty. pleasant address
and accurate business methods has been
enabled to make this wonderful showing
for the company.
