SOME GREAT FORTUNES.

The great CRY OF free traders is
that great fortunes are made on pro-
tected INDUSTRIES, yet 70 argument
has less basis in fact. The follow
ing list Of the ten wealthiest men in
the United States resutes the claims
of the free trade cranks:
William Waldorf Aston, real estate.
jay Gould, rai.roats, telegrap'ts aud speeaia-
tons.
John ID. Rockefeller. oil.
Cornell ny Vanderbilt. railroads,
William X Vanderbilt, railroads.
Henry NJ, Flasler. oil.
John l. Blair. railroads and banking.
Russell Sage, railroads ard speculation.
COLTS r. Huntington, railroads..
VIM, Rockefeller. oil.
Any man at all acquainted with
the laws Of protection will observe
at a glance that not one OF the for
times noted above was amassed
ON a single protected article. The
fact is the rapid multiplication OF
wealth is the natural result OF the
development Of our country's re-
sources.

of precious metals, just as she did in 1890.
1t is there to stay. You may remember
that the big copper mine at Butte. the Ana

from Mrs. Frances Hobson, of Anaconda, a
most artistic collection of Montana Wild
flowers. The work is far superior to any
shown in Helena during the holiday season,
and in Montana's exhibit at the Worlds
fair will attract a great deal of attention.
Mrs. Hobson sent Secretary Ramsay a
beautiful hnnd-painted book containing
thirty varieties of Montana fora, among
which are the rose, anemone, clematis.

and aster. Mrs. Hobson will make a large

tary Ramsay for information as to how he.
can arrange for taking the band to Chi
cngo, and saws the Indians will want to sell
trinkets on the grounds. Mr.. Ramsay has
written to Chicago in regard to the matter.
There are a numDer Of people who want to
make displays at the Worlds fair, and also
to sell curiosities. and Just how the latter
affair can be managed is what the secretary
is endeayoring to find out.
Among the other peculiar things Mr..

said to be largely controlled by the Wander

Times asserts the Northwestern has been
gathering material all along it's western end
for some time preparatory to pushing this

aggressive moment is the receipt OF what is
considered reliable information that the
Gould party has taken up the old scheme of
Charles Francis Adams for the extension of
the Union Pacific from its present terminus
in Utah across Nevada n California to
San Francisco. i1
The Times asserts that the Union Pacific
also contemplates breaking its alliance with
the Northwestern and joining with the
Rock Island, in which Gould has secured
heavy interests. These various considera-
lions. says the Times. lave forced the Van
derbilt interests to become aggressive in
self-defense. and the rails Of the North
