THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.


A short time since Secretiry Car.
Isle Issued an order suspen Ing the
issue Of gold certificates, thus antici-
pating to some extent the requirements
Of the law, which provides that when
the gold reserve In the treasury is be-
low 00.000,0OO such suspension shall
take place. The secretary was not pro-
hibited from stopping the issue before
that point was reached, II being Alto
gether u discretionary matter with
him; but after the point Ia passed, the
law regarding suspension becomes
mandatory.
Ii seems, however, by the kilograms
that Mr.. Carlisle Is paying out gold
coin in redemption Of gold treasury
notes, these having been issued In pay
ment Of the silver bullion purchases
under the Sherman act, by means OF
which q steady drain upon the gold
supply Ia maintained which IL in no
manner retrieved. The silver thus
bought Is stored away In vaults like no

When the law spoken OF was parsed -,
undoubtedly the design was to coin

OF the law has been violated. As a
result Of this, the unholy cause OF tn.
demonetizers Is strengthened greatly,
while tho administration Ia seriously
embarrassed. Every bar OF bullion

OUR GREAT ORATORS.


A correspondent asks the Courier
Journal whether or not Daniel Webster
was the greatest orator Of his time. and
who 1t Is that holds that distinguished
position today. The answer given il
that Webster was one OF the greatest,
but TO place him at the head would bc
an Injustice to others Of that time. II
would, indeed. Webster had many
contemporaries who in some respects
were altogether superior TO him. He
had not the fire OF Henry Clay, the
vehemence OF John g. Calhoun nor
this grand vocabulary OF Sargent b.
prentiss; and yet Webster was "evory
inch" AN orator.
Among the great speech.mhkers OF
today Chauncey NJ. Drpew, w. q. T..
Brecklnridge, J. G. S. Blackburn, r..
Dewitt Talmage and Il. q. Ingersoll
are placed at the fore, and this, while
perhsps good enough AZ far "a 1t goes,
does not 20 far enough. There are
many more entitled 10 the distinction
named and they are not all "prtfes.
sionsls" either. Why should We over.
look tho splendid takers who write
editorials for a living? Henry Waiter
son Is equal In some respects to any OF
those named tut he Is not spoken OF,
perhaps Though his own modesty. A
kentuckian with no much modeaty
ought not to hurry away from the
Worlds Fair; he ought to give as
many people as possible q chance to

DEPEW'S OPINION.

1t keeps Democrats busy these days
finding reasons for the present finan-
cial depression. Some lay it to silver,
or to prevent committing themselves
call it ''money matters" Some say,
"why, the Mckinley law is still IN force,
the Democratic party has enacted no
legislation" The latter reason is not
creditable to a man of sound sense and
could hardly eminate from anyone OF
business sagacity. n scissors grinder
or peddler probably may not look far
ahead in conducting their business.
Men who have millions invested and
who must rely upon the future for
their profits move very cautiously.
They cannot start in business under
one policy and conduct it under an
other which Is radically antagonistic to
them, and the doubt as To that policy
Is even worse than the realization.
The distrust and uncertainty not only
ducers of what the pro-Brltishera call
the raw material as well, for one Is
dependent upon the other and the
prosperity of the country is largely due
TO the success OF both. This is clearly
demonstrated here in Montana. MIR
! Depew states the facts in the following
extract from an interview:
"The election Of u Democratic ad
nlinistration, and the success of thai
party in both houses of congress, was d
tremendous surprise to the mannfac
turing interests of the country. They
hadn't thought it possible for the
| friends of protection To lose at the same
| time the executive and both branches
| Of congress. Every manufacturing in
| terest in the country, which relied up
on tariff protection, stopped immedi
ately its new work of expansion anC
/ extension, and reduced its business to
sort of hand-to-mouth policy so as to
avoid the accum ulation of stocks, the
increasing of debts and general weak.
ness, fearful of immediate and drastic
legislation against the protective policy
and the same fear of accumulatins
stock possessed their customers. 1t is
to this cause, more than to any other
that we have such immunity from fail
ure of mills, factories, furnaces anG
| their related industries during this re-
| markable absence cf usual and ordi
nary accom- modations from the banks
to business men and business enter
prises. Nothing travels so fast and
affects one neighborhood after another
so quickly as distrust. 1t is undoubt
edly true that this apprehension on the
part of the protected industries stimu
lated an unusual anxiety in regard to
| our currency and finances"

The Closing of Banks.

Thursday OF last week will be a memoir
able day in the history of Monrana, par
ticularly of Helena. Ii WAS day of gloom
and excitement in the capital city. While
trouble was anticipated in the banks. the
extent Of the run and the result could not
be determined in advance. and when the
crisis came there were many surprises to
people in all parts Of the state. The tele-
phone messages came into the Lewistown
office thick and fast Friday morning, bring
ing news not only from Helena, hut from
other cities and towns in the state. Fol
lowing is "a list OF banks. firms md indirid-
uals that have temporarily closed their
doors or made assignments in the past
week or ten days: First National and
Montana National banks of Helena. First
National and Merchants National banks
of Great Falls. Gallatin Valley National
and First National banks oI Bozemau
First National and Park National banks
Of Livingston. First National bank of Red

Fergus County argus., 1893-08-03

the news of the closing of banks at
Helena last week was received here
with surprise and deep regret. 1t was
not thought possible that Helena, the
richest city of its size in the world and
possessed of larger amount of bank
ing capital than many more pretentious
places, would ever suffer from money
depression. But a sudden combination
of unforeseen circumstances brought
about the panic of last Thursday. The
bankers of Helena have always been
liberal loaners and investors and the
sudden decline in silver, the shrinkage
in securities and the inability torealize
quickly on loans caused two strong in
stitutions to haul down their blinds.
That these banks have assets two OF
three times greater than their liabilities
there can be no question, and it is safe
to predict that few weeks will find
their doors open for business. People
who rushed to the banks to draw theil
money, thereby causing them to close
will regreat their hasty action. 1t is tc
lie hoped the Queen City of the
Rockies" has seen the worst and tha
her recovery will be rapid.
