Capital Buzz Flies.

Marcus DAILY is doing some tall r~nstlinp
moving the capital to Anaconda.
and II the east side doesn't look out it will
soon be called upon to transact it's CAPITAL
business at the little town ut the hsad of
Deer Lodge valley. DAILY has already
knocked out both Deer Lodge and Butte.
and now he is going right 10 work to build
a new railroad from his o~ompany's copper
mines at Butte to the smelter ut Anaconda.
and incidentally to vote the thousands of
men employed on the grade in favor Of
Anaconda. II his plan 10 carried through
as outlined. Anaconds's stature in the cap
ital fight will assume the proportions of a
Jim Corbett. and the east side will need to
spit on her hands IL she expects to hold on
to the state seat of government. Those
little buZz-fies this side of the range
that are doing such loud talking about their
capital aspirations would better come in
out OF the wst and turn their attention ia
helping Helena hold tho capital within
reach Of east side people. These Jim Grow
towns have not the slightest show in the
fight. never had any. and never will have
any, and the sooner they get onto thsm .
selves the better. II they want to sec the
capital located oil within a stones throw ri
the edge Of the state, outside of eyervbodv, -.
reach except the men who are on the Ana
oonda company's pay roll, they are taking
just the right course 10 bring that rssuI,

The Portland Oregonian receives a
communication from a correspondent
who is evidently mad clean through.
He is disguised with both political par
ties and finds no hope from the peoples
party until the women's rights and
financial p!anks are removed from the
platform. The letter is sufficiently in
teresting to reprint. The writer says:
I'm the first place, We know that voting
for Cleveland means free trade, ruin to
American industries and catering to Eng
land, to say nothing of tho robust ~ pa
~trlotisnl displayed by both the democratic
candidates during the late war. Then a
vote for Harrison and Reid means voting
for aristoorats and ~millionaires; it means
the sending of such men IS Fred Grant and
Robert Lincoln as ministers to foreign
countries. These men have never demon
stra:ed that they are possessed of any more
ability than a S2-a-day carpenter, but were
appointed for their pediQrees. To be con-
sistent, the United States should be a king

1t ssvors too much of catering to the rich.
We know from bitter experience that there
is nothing in common between a million
aire aud a man who earns his living. Then
why should w vote for one? We hold the
republican party responsible for the over
crowdinR of our country by the paupers of
Europe, AZ every platform ever promul-
gated by that party has invited foreign i'm
migration.
We hold the republican party responsible
for the 'Millionaises' Club" misnamsd the
United States senate. | venture the asser-
ton that not ten of the present senators
would not be returned il they were to be
elected by a direct vote of the people.
There is too much "sassiety" and not
enough business in Washington. We don't
send our servants there to hold swell recep-
tions. We don't cadets appointed to West
Point whose only claim, the only one recog-
nized. is that there fathers or uncles were
generals or had a political pull. There are

CONTINUE THE WORK.

Some time ago THE INDEPENDENT
suggested the necessity Of looking about
for conventions ia be held in 1893.
We enew the suggestion.
Let us carry forward this work unit,
Helena's prestige as the convention
town in this northwestern country il
thoroughly grounded; let us take hold
OF it with determination to win out and
let every loyal citizen do his duty. 1t
is true that places for holding many Of
the coming conventions have already
been chosen, but many others have not,
Let Helena have some of them.
The success OF the gatherings held
here during the past was most crafty
ing despite obstacles which no n could
foresee and which are not likely to oc.
cur again. It was certainly shown that
Helena could royalty entertain all her
visitors; good proof of this was fur
nished by the many letters of gratitude
afterward received. The first efforts
were instructive and the work could be
done better another time,
The coming year will certainly bring
more guests to conventions in the west.
Everyone will go to the Worlds fair, Of
course, and it follows that reduced rates
will bring thousands to the Rocky
mountain country. A convention in
Helena would be several times better at
tended than in the present year or even
in 1894. The advertisement OF this city
and the surrounding is a
matter Of tremendous Importance and
no opportunities should be overlooked.
Several months ago THE INDEPENDENT
printed a list of all national conventions
to be held during the year and sug-
that the Board OF Trade appoint
a convention committee. The fact that
nothing has been done does not signify
that nothing cannot be done yet. The
Worlds fair and Helena can work hand
in hand this year. A trip to Chicago
and convention business in Helena unite
to form an excellent argument.
1t is not a question of how much
money visitors will spend in this city; it
is a question OF benefits sure to come
with the future. Let US work to that
end,

also increase.

THE WEATHER,
The pending bill is IN the interest of

The pending bill is IN the interest of
the wool grower as we'll as the wool
manufacturer; but it is especially in the
interest of the American consumer II
the report Of your committee is care
fully considered it will be seer that the
expense Of the past quarter of a CEN
fury of high protective tariffs on wool
and high protective tariffs on wooden
goods has proved to be disastrous to the
wool grower, disastrous to the wool
manufacturer and disastrous to the
American consumers. 1t may be asked
how, under free wool, can wooden goods
be cheaper, if native wool is higher.
The answer is that the foreign wool,
which ID subjected to a tax of A cents
upon the amount of such wool in a
pound of cloth, will come in free, and
that such mills as the Arlington will
not be permitted to earn dividends
amounting to so per centum per annum.
Take off the tax IN foreign wool; per-
NIT healthy competition, and prices of
WOODEN goods must fall. Consumers
will get the benefit of nll that Is paid on
foreign wool, and of all that is charged
for protection on cotton, shoddy and
other adulterants.
In conclusion, MI. Chairman, I desire
to call attention to the fact that the
placing OF raw sugar or the free list
and the corresponding reduction of the
duty on refined sugar, by the aot Of Oct.
l, 1890, caused an increased consump-
ton of sugar to the amount of 1886 per
centum during the year 1891, the first
year after its passage. The passage Of
the pending bill will have a similar eff
feet. 1t will cause an increased con-
sumption Of wooden goods to an equal
amount. Such an incrsa se in the con-
sumption OF wooden goods would during
the first year OF it's passage cause a de-
mand for 500 more wooden establish
ments and cause the 27l establishments
which were idle during 1890 to be started
up again.
1t will demand an increase OF capital
in such establishments to the Mount
Of seventy-four millions OF dollars; an
increase OF materials to be used to the
amount OF forty-eight millions Of dol
lars in the production OF WOODEN goods;
a demand for 100000 pounds more of
domestic wool and for 2G,00O,O0O pounds
more OF foreign wool. 1t will give m
ployment in wooden factories to 81, 900
more hands, and will increase the
amount of wages to be paid such hands
to sls,OoO,0OO.
With increased demand for wool,

THE CAPITAL RACE.

A new element in the capital fight came
to the surface the past week in the an
nouncement BY the Hon. Marcus Daily that
his company will Immediately build a rail-
road from Butte to Anaconda. 1t is fair
to assume that this move 10 made just now
partly for business reasons Of the y,
but chiefly to supply Anaconda with more
votes for the capital. 1t cannot DO ques-
toned that Anaconda's chances for SUI
cess will be materially advanced by this
project, but it is bringing to her support
voters who ought not by right exert any
strong influence in the determination OF an
important state question like this. 1t il
too much like the colonization tactics often
resotted TO in party politics. and in the
minds of reasonable men will not be re-
garded as at all creditable to Ana
conda. Such question as the
locating OF a permanent state cap
itai ought to be entirely in the
hands of tho permanent population, but
this scheme seems to be in the interest of
giving the "hoaters" a very important hand
in the matter. If anything wore needed to
rally the permanent residents Of Montana
to the support of some city centrally
situated with reference to the fixed popu-
lation of the state. this scheme should
be enough to do it, and il will not surprise
Us to see Anaconda forcibly reminded by
the people of this state that they will not
co~untenance the practice of any such
tactics whom applied to the settlement of
an important and serious matter to the
state. or course it will be claimed by the
friends of Anaconda that the capital con-
test is merely coincident to the building of
the new Anaconda road, but the people will
fall readily into shat way of thinking.
