HE HAS THE MONEY!.

President Hill is aprince in finance
when it comes to raising money, says
the Anaconda Standard. Better than
that, he is a model of good manage
ment when it comes to the judicious
use of borrowed money in railway
construction. He was the promoter
of the best road that connects st.
Paul with western Montana today,
and he asked no government subsidy
at that, nor is he trying to add to a
subsidy robbery the shameless
plumber of miles wide of the public
domain on each side of his road bed,

OUR TRADE WITH BRAZIL,

The subjoined statistics indicate
that Secretary Blaine's reciprocity
ideas, as applied to Brazil, are in the
right line and will do much to in.
crease the trade of this country with
the new South American republics:
During the year ending June 80, 1890,
we bought from Brazil $50 900, 600 worth
of its products and sold it $11,OO9, 00U
worth of Ours.
The diplomatic consular report made to
the British parliament in 1889 contains
this statement:
The United States of America takes
much over half the coffee export of Bra.
iii, over half the india-rubb-r, fully hall
the hides and horns, and about two Fl fths
OF the sugar crop, altogether about hall
the entire exports, while the imports into
Brazil from the United States barely
reach one-seventh of the total, the remain
der being paid via Europe instead of di
rect exports of products.
In 1888 there were entered at the port
OF Rio de Janeiro, not counting goods ad-
mit:ed free, $4,000 900 of imports from
Great Britain, 100000 from France.
TstOOVyOOO " VCIllduy, duu 6f,UUU,UUU
from the United States.
The trade is now principally with Eu-
rope.
Under the policy of reciprocity the
balance of trade as between the Unit
ed States and Brazil is likely to be in
the formers favor and if recipro-
cal relations were entered into with
other nations this country would be
vastly benefited. Blaine's policy is
in favor of freer trade and to that ex-
tent is a vast improvement on the
Mckinley idea of high protection
duties in the interest of the manufac-
turers without regard to the welfare
of commerce or of the people gener-
orally.

are incomparably the best kept, it
services is the most satisfactory and
its servants the most courteous. This
much is frankly admitted by the
travelling public. 1t will be remem-
bered by all observing people that
the impulse given to Butte's present
era of property was coincident with
the arrival of Mr.. Hills road around
the curve at Meaderville on its march
into the Silver City.
We expect to see the Great North
ern continue its line in this section of
Montana. We expect to see it extend
its tracks from Butte to Anaconda, up
the canyon to the great camps near
Phillipsburg, ver the range to the
Bitter Root country, on to Missoula
and beyond toward the Flat Head
country, perhaps, there to meet the di-
rect line which MIR. Hill Is construct
ing from Assiniboine to the Pacific
coast. 1t is betraying no secret to say
that the fact that the route we have
just outlined is not a reality today is
in no sense the fault or failure of Mr..
Hill. Long ago he realized that the
stretch of road from Butte to Ana
conda and Missoula opens to railroad
builders as tempting a field as the
affords. This road will be
built and its construction will be vel
Yesterdays dispatches announce
that Mr.. Hill has secured all the
funds required for completing his
northern line across this state and for
continuing it to the coast. That is
good news. 1t is the end of prelim

cautious in nearly all lines, SO that pur
chasers are closely combining to actua
demand for consumption, the volume Of
business transacted is nevertheless much
greater than a year ago in some of the
most important branches, and in scarcely
any is there material decrease. Money
markets are everywhere easy, in part
because speculative %liQuidations and the
marketing of crops have liberated large
sums of money for which there is nj
immediate use, and the volume of cur
rency in circulation therefore decreased
nearly $4,0OO,Oo 0 in January. But 1t is
noteworthy that while outstanding legal
tender, bank notes, silver certificates,
silver notes and silver coin all decreased,
there were over $11 ,OOO,OO more gold
certificates taken out and held in circu-
latiOn.

"DEMoCRACY opposed to free silver" is
the caption of an article In the Leader, in
which Mr.. Clevelsnd's views on this sub
ject are set forth. We did not know be.
fore that Grover Cleveland is the "democ-
racy." If the Leader would learn the
opinion of the democracy on this subject
let it study the votes OF the democrats in
the national senate and house of repre-
sentatives on the ~free-coinage i'll. The
democracy is practically a unit in favor
of free silver, and Mr.. Cleveland's views
do not change the situation IN the least.

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 81. 1891.
WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN,

Gen. W. L. Sherman, one OF tn
prominent figures in American his
tory, passed to the great beyon(
yesterday at his residence in New
York city. His fight against deatf
was a brave one, as might be ex'
pected of the hero of 30 many battle
fields, but in this instance he had to
succumb. His death bed was sur.
rounded by his family and many re-
latives and friends, and the nation
mourns his loss.
William Tecumseh Sherman was
the son of Judge Charles r. Sher.
man and was born in Lancaster. Ohio,
Feb. 8. 1920. From the time of his
fathers death in 1929 he was reared
in the family of Hon. Thos. Ewing
and in 1886 was appointed a cadet in
the U. S. military ACADEMY, gradual
ing in July 1910, receiving the COM
mission of second lieutenant. In 1858,
when he had attained the rank of
captain, he resigned from the army
and engaged in the banking business
in San Francisco. In 1857 he removed
to New York in which year the affairs
of his firm were closed, and the fol-
lowing year he located at Leaven-
worth, Kas., and engaged in the
practic of law. In 1859 he accepted
the presidency of the Louisiana State
Seminary of Learning and Military
academy, remaining at its head until
the war broke out. In January, 1861,
he wrote TO the governor asking to be
relieved the moment the state de-
termined to secede, and his request
was soon granted. He then returned
to st. Louis and was soon afterwards
appointed colonel of the Thirteenth
infantry, From this time began his
great military career. He led a
brigade at the battle of Bull Run and
did perhaps more hard fighting than
any general in the civil wal. At
Shiloh he commanded a division and
according to Gen. Halleck Saved the
day" To follow his career for the
next four years would require more
space than the TRIBUNE has at COM
Iaand. He was in the forefront of the
great Wal aud one of its most con-
spicuous heroes. The history Of his
famous march to the sea" is we'll
known as is the prominent part he
took in bringing the war to a close.
He reached Washington with his
followers May "a, 1865,
and after a grand review his army
was dissolved. In June, 1865 he was
to command the military
division of Mississippi; vas promoted
to be lieutenant general IN 1866. On
the accession of uen. Grant to the
presidency lie became general March
1869. He was retired February 8,
1884, having reached the limit of
service allowed by law.
On May l, 1850, Gen. Sherman
married Ellen, daughter of Thos.
who was then secretary of the
The union was a happy
one and several children survive the
general whose wife preceded him to
The grave.
General Sherman was universally
respected by his countrymen on &C.
count of his unselfish and patriotic
devotion to his country as we'll as for
mis- manly and sterling qualities of
head and heart. He will stand in
as one of the greatest military
captains of modern times.
