NEW STANDARD FOR FRIENDSHIP.

The Helena journal has erected a new
standard by which friendship may be
meas,. red if one may judge from the fol
lowing which appears in its yesterday
mornings issue:
Time will demonstrate that The Jour
nal is the true friend of silver and the
consistent advocate of free coinage, and
that in no better way could its fidelity
be expressed than by opposing the Bland
bill. as reported from the committee.
The Bland bill provides for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver; the res
t~oration of the metal to the place it has
occupied for over three thousand years
as the royal mate Of gold. True friend
illness, however, to the metal, according
TO the Journal, is shswn by degrading it
to the level of pumpkins, or onions or
any other marketable product. That is
knock 1t down and keep it down. Choke
the life out Of it. That's the way to
show friendship for the white metal.
Harrison, and Sherman, and Mckinley
and Blaine, and Reed and the Helena
Journal and every leading republican in
the United States are Just such friends
to the metal, while Bland, and Crisp and
the other 100 democrats in the house are
its enemies.
Let us carry the Journals idea of
friendship into our relations with the
world. We would manifest friendship
for a lifelong comrade by "beating the
%stuiiin'" out OF him every time we met,
We would display supreme friendship to
those nearest and dearest to us by kill
ing them on the spot. We would ex.
hibit the most intense friendship for the
Helena Journal by refusing to subscribe
FIR it, or taxi. it, or read it, as long az
the paper shows its friendship to the
miners of the state who furnish its
bread and butter, by opposing their vital
interests in opposing free silver coinage
The murderer displays quite as much
friendship for his dying victim as the
Journal displays for silver.

IT is not in a boasting spirit that the
TRIBUNE would institute comparisons
between this glorious Montana weather
and that which prevails in its sister
state in North Dakota. Tho fierce
billiards. which have prevailed there
during the past three or four days
rendering railroad travel impossible, and
the beautiful days here in, the meantime,
call to mind, however, that this il a
highly favored state, not only in it's vast
and wonderfully rich resources, but in
the salubrity and comparative mildness
OF it's climate. Providence has, bestowed
the richest Of gifts upon Montana.

WANTED-FARM Frs.

Montana formers are credited with
raising l,856,000 bushels Of wheat and
2,648,OO0 bushels of oats during the past
year. The wheat is valued at 81 $4,000
and the oats at sl.7JO,925. The former
was grown on 92,SO3 acres of land and
the latter on 94,747 acres Of land. The
wheat averaged twenty bushels to the
acre. the oats yielded t~hirty-eight and
one.half bushels to the acre. During
the same year it is estimated the cattle
business netted Sl0,oO0,OO0.
The stranger would naturally infer
from the above figures that bonanzas are
found in the cattle business while only a
living is found in farming. 1t does lool,
so but when the capital invested in each
industry with their attending risks are
taken into consideration the stranger
will revise his conclusions. One unfaror-
able season, say d couple feet of snow for
ii month or two, would fatally cripple or
wipe out the cattle industry in Montana,
while it would leave farming lands in
excellent condition. The one would lose
his last dollar; The other would gain in a
greater yield of crops.
But laying aside all risks, and bearing
in mind that men can enter upon and
cultivate lands when they cannot pos.
sibl> go into the cattle business, the
figures given show that something more
than a living can be made upon lands
which average 20 bushels of wheat and
3Sl5 bushels Of oats to the acre. And
these, it may here be t%ruthfully said, are
very low averages for Montana. Markets
are found at home for everything the
farmer may raise. At no time since the
settlement of the state has the supply OF
farm products equallcd the demand,
dollars are sen out of the state for -four
corn meal, bacon, hams. lard, butter
cheese, eggs. beans, oatmeal, and vegc.
tables of all kinds. This is done bccaus,
nearly all the Old-timcrs sought IA e.
cut to fortu g through mines, and al
not succeeding the disappointed ones en-.
gagged in various trades and businesses
which kept them in the neighborhood
OF their old camping grounds, leaving
farming TO the stranger and the pilgrim
who came after them.
But the stranger and the pilgrim alsC
sought the FL Dorado of their dreams IN
the silver and gold ribbed mountains
and left the fertile valleys and the more
productive bench lands to the struggling
bands of cattle and horses. or to the few
who. tied down by families, could not
move about at will or afford to take the
miners hazards. Thus it happens that
Montana with 100000 acres of the
finest agricultural land in the world and
which with water for irrigating purposes
would produce "a wealth far beyond that
Of the cattle industry, has comparatively
So few farmers and shows SO little credit
to its farm productions. Montana wants
farmers; not the half farmer and hall
prospector. but well trained, industrious
filters Of the soil. who make farming a
business and a paying business.

AFTER al there is not much danger
from the great combination that'is said
to have been formed for controlling the
copper mines Of the country. 1t may be
remembered tina ii much greater combi-
nation was formed some years ago for a
like purpose. Its existence was brief
and Its end disastrous. 1t bankrupted
everyone of its promoters and nearly
swampcd the French republic.

4 GREAT COPPER COMBINE.

The formation of a combine among
the copper producers OF the United
States is a move in line with the tend
rncies of the day. 1t is not a trust in
any sense of that term. as the object of
the combine is to regulate the produc,
ton Of raw material to "A quantity Gov
cred by the demand, while the purpose
Of a trust of any kind is to obtain con
troll Of raw or manufactured material
and force up their prices to
The one is a legitimate business PROPOSE
ton, the other is prohibited by law.
a few years ago raw copper brought
from 40 to % cents II pound. It's uses
were limited to the manufacture of a few
indispensable articles, into which its
presence was actually required. But as
new mines were opened aid the output
of the metal correspondingiy increased
in volume prices fell, and as they fell its
employment was extended in other direc-
tions. Within the last decade wonderful
developments have been made in copper
| properties. Ten years ago the great
Anaconda mines did not produce pound
Of copper. To-day they are the largest
producers Of the metal in the world.
Owing to its malleability, ductility,
and to its extreme tenacity, which Is ex-
ceeded only by iron. and to its being the
best known conductor Of electricity.
except SILVER, the metal is now being
used in greater quantities and for more
purposes than ever before, Still its en-
ploymcnt has not kept pace with its
production. Improved mining machinery
and improved processes in smelling cop
per ores and refining the crude output
Of smcltcrs have thrown such immense
amounts of the metal upon the markets
Of the world that the demand fell far
short of the supply. There were, there
fore, but two courses open TO copper
prOduccrs-to run their works at a loss
or to shut down. As tho former course
would eventually bankrupt them, and
the latter would throw thousands Of
men out of employment or give them
only temporary work at the best, the
producers have formed a combine to
escape the alternatives presented to them.
Tho output OF the Anaconda company is
fixed at 70,0OO,OO pounds, which 1T, say,
IL cents per pound, will enable it to sell
57,7O0,0O0 worth of copper a year. This
is n good round sum to distribute among
the laboring men Of Butte and Of the
Valley works.
If the farmers, and the cotton planters
and the wool growers would form com
bines to regulate their respective pro
ducts of raw material they would not ex-
perience those dep sssions in prices for
their holdings from which they so often
suffer. The formation Of such combines
is feasible and when system and method
in the growth and production OF raw
material take the place of the present
shiftless, go.as. you. please way of wheat
raising, and cotton planting and wool
growing they will be formed among the
leading industries Of the country to the
benefit Of all concerned.

A GLORIOUS EssAGE

The article published in the TRIBUNE
Sunday morning regarding the new hour
mill to be erected here this summer bore
a glorious message to Great Falls. 1t
means that extensive building operations
will be carried on here; that an army OF
workmen will be employed-first on the
building and then in it. 1t means that
Great Falls will be the grain center OF
the northwest. 1t means an increase in
local trade, an increase in real estate
values. 1t will bring in its train a num-
Der of other enterprises of similar char
acter, and will be followed in the near
future by other branches Of manufac-
turc.
To the farmers of northern Montana it
bears "a message no less important and
no less unmistakable. 1t u to
item in plain language that Great Falls
will hereafter give them Il market for all
the wheat they can grow; that they will
be able to secure a good price for their
grain. 1t announces further that they
will be able to get flour at "A rate SO low
and in such quantities that it will not
be necessary to import a single pound.
*.*
The people of Great Falls and north
crn Montana are only beginning to get
acquainted with the country. 1t has
been looked upon as a mining country
and as a grazing country but people are
just waking up to a realization of the
fact that it is an agricultural country as
well. In the opinion of those best &C
quainted with northern Montana, there
is no room for doubt on this question.
Whenever and wherever the experiment
of raising wheat and other grains has
been tried it has proved success.
~
, An inducement is now offered to the
farmers of northern Montana to try this
experiment on a grand scale. With the
building of the new mill and the enlarge
ment Of the mill already ia operation
here they will lind ii ready market for
their product at good prices. The mills
must have the gram. If they cannot
get it here they will import it. Will the
farmers of northern Montana let the
money go out of the state? Not if they
know where their interest lies. They
will cover the valleys and bench lands
with fields of golden grain.
*.%
Another feature of this milling propo-
sition which contains no less promise for
Great Falls is the fact that the new en-
tcrprise has secured a freight rate which
enables the protector to ship in wheat,
if necessary, and ship out -four at a cost
that leaves a good profit. This is indica
tive in itself that any enterprise that
can furnish the freight to be carried can
secure rates that are satisfactory. The
Great Northern railroad desires the dc
velopment of northern Montana and will
substantially aid any enterprise that
will develop the and the traffic
of the country.
The increase in our milling facilities
besides giving the farmers a ready mar
ket for their grain will in turn supply
the people with all the flour they "a use,
thus cutting off the necessity of import
in a single pound. This means cheaper
flour and of a better quality. The
money now expended for flour instead of
going to the eastern millers will be spent
here in Montana, and will again find its
way into the hands of the farmer in pay
