Is times like these the men with
money readily double and quadruple
their holdings by taking advantage of
the circumstances OF their neighbors
who are in debt. In Oregon the sherffs
are reaping such harvest that it has
occurred to Gov. Pennoyer to send let
ter to the members Of the state egisla-
ture requesting their opinions as to the
advisability of calling special session
for the purpose of passing law to stay
the execution of judgments. In all
cases where creditors are able to be len
lent the unfortunate debtor should not
need the protection contemplated by the
governor, but human greed is generally
ready to gather in its pound of flesh"

FARMING Is THE THING.

The news from Europe reports that
France has lost more from the damage
to her agriculture caused by the dry
season this year than the whole sum OF
the war indemnity which she had to pay
to Germany after the Franco Prussian
war. There has been severe drought
also in this country and people in the
state of New York and other sections OF
the east are suffering severely from the
protracted dryness.
In Montana also the season has been
unusually dry, and yet it would be a
revelation to any man to see the won
derful crops of grain that have been
raised without irrigation in the vicinity
of this city, and in all cases where the
ground was broken up the previous year
and sown early last spring the wheat,
barley, and oat crops are far above the
average produced in Minnesota or Da
kota. 1t puzzles the observer to under
stand how such growth of grain was
possible without rain or irrigation, but
the fact proves what has been held by
Mr.. Gibson and other practical farmers
that crops may be raised here year in
and year out without artificial irriga-
ton, if the land is properly prepared and
the seed properly sown. The advantage
to be gained by getting the seed in as
early as possible can scarcely be creres-
timated, and with the necessary condi
tions complied with there is no question
that the intelligent farmer can make a
larger return from his investment in this
part of Montana than from any other
enterprise in which he can embark.
Mining is always more or less Of gam
BILE, while diversified agriculture intel
ligently managed can be made as GER
tain a source of revenue as the coupon
on government bonds.
We believe that some of the great en-
terprises of the future hereabouts will
be concerning the products of the soil.
There never was a better opening for
capital in the proper hands in this line
than there is today. We have the land
lying fallow and magnificent market,
but indtferently supplied.
The success of few practical farmers
would cause others to come into the
field and the profits might not be so
large in a few years as they are now, but
we think that it is no exaggeration to
say that larger returns could be made on
capital invested in farming here, always
with proviso of good and intelligent
than from any other kind
Of investment.

tries have been obliged to shut down
owing to the general depression, Great
Falls has one of the largest pay-rolls in
the state today. At period of this
kind when all enterprise is at q stand
still there is not likely to be much move
ment of laboring men, wherefor it would
seem unnecessary to issue warning
that could be of no service to them and
which might do the town grave injury
The evil is done now and cannot be
counteracted by anything said here. but
lesson may be learned to the effect
that crying wolf" can do no good and
may do much harm.

THE silver men must roost high when
the gold bugs come buzzing around
them with the fanciful project of an in
ternational silver conference. This old
game, like the time-honored bunco, has
become wearisome, and it is hoped and
believed that the silver men have got
the hayseed out of their hair to such an
extent as to be safe from the imposition.
No more iunketing on this question is
admissible. What we want is to stiffen
up our own back-bones and secure free
coinage. Let European nations fiddle

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC,

Nothing could touch the whole gamut
Of the country's woes like the failure OF
the Northern Pacific railroad. These
words OF Vice President Williams tell
the whole story:
In consequence OF the extraordinary
depression OF business and the stoppage
OF shipments along the line, the North.
ern Pacific Railroad company has been
forced to acquiesce in the application for
a receiver. The falling off in earnings is
owing to several causes. The money
stringency prevents the marketing OF
crops, cattle, and products Of all kinds;
consequently the road is not getting the
traffic usual at this season ~ the year.
The failure ~ banks has tied up money
on which we depended for cash. The
depression prevailing over the whole
county IL exceptionally severe 10 the
younger states. 50 general business

tcally at Il etandetilI

A GRAND PROPOSITION.

Says the Butte Miner "As surprising
and unexpected a report as was ever sent
out from railroad circles is that which
tells of the consolidation of the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific under
the management of a company of which
James j. Hill Of the Great Northern is
to be the president.
If this rumor, which comes with seem
ingly conclusive confirmation, proves
true President Hill will be at the head
Of the greatest railroad corporation in
the world and will represent an invest.
ment of fabulous proportions. 1t is a
scheme 80 exceptional in it's nature and
30 far-reaching in it's effects as at first to
seem visionary and chimercal.
1t is impossible under present circum
stances and with present meager advices
to speculate intelligently upon the ef-
fects of the consolidation in Montana.
The impression at present is that it will
mean not only general reduction in
salaries but decided reduction in the
number of executive and administrative
employees. The fact that such rumor
is given credence in financial circles and
that the election of j. j. Hill as presi-
dent of the great corporation is seriously
discussed is high tribute to that gen.
tleman's ability and sagacity. Whether
the rumor be true or false 1t is striking
reminder that j. j. Hill is one of the
great men of the nation and that in the
railroad and financial world he stands
upon the heights to which few men
climb

LET the multi-millionaires Of this
country who are back of the conspiracy
to keep the people down by limiting and
corralling the money succeed in their
plot and the cry in 1896 will not only be
free coinage" but also free trade" and
it will sweep everything before it. The
American people are beginning to real
ize how little they are benefited by the
socalled protection" The high tariff
and the gold bug work of Harrison ct al.

SAYS IT WAS NECESSARY.
President Reynolds Gives His Views ON
the Labor Council Circular.
To THE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE:


| To THE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE:
Sir: In The TRIBUNE yesterday morn
ing you print under the caption "Was II
Necessary" the circular sent out by the
Trades and Labor council, following il
with comments. At the time the circular
was issued, nearly three months ago.
it was necessary that note of warning
be given to the laboring men of the land
that Great Falls was not the proper city
to come to in order to secure employ
ment. At that time this city was being
flooded with all classes of tradesmen and
mechanics, who had been led to believe
from reports published in newspapers
and magazines that there was great ac-
tivity in all lines of trade and that who
ever came got job Immediately. Then
it was that the Trades and Labor coun-
Gil decided that their Acknowledgment
throughout the land must be tod the
truth, and the circular was issued and
sent to all the leading cities and towns
in the United States and Canada. 1t
was not the wish that the contents of
the circular be sent out through the AS
sociated Press, but as it has got into
that great news channel so much the
better
There are many idle tradesmen, me-
chanics, and laborers in Great Falls who
are puzzling their brains in trying to
figure out where they can get the means
to supply their wives and children with
food and shelter. l do not say that there
is actual suffering, but there will be if
does not turn up to give them
We do not want any more
laboring men here at present There are
enough to do all the labor that is to be
perfol med. There is nothing wrong in
letting our fellow workers in other sec
tions OF the country know it. The same
course as was pursued by the Trades and
Labor council in Great Falls is followed
in other cities, and it is good thing. 1t
keeps the workingmen informed as to
the condition of labor in all parts of the
country, and many is the time that they
do not get led into trap.
The workingmen of Great Falls take
deep interest in the prosperity of the
city and are as anxious for its upbuild
ing and its future as those who possess
the wealth and furnish employment to
the toilers, but when the condition of
the city warrants it you can rest assured
that the Trades and Labor council will
see to it that their brothers in the labor
field are informed that there is no work
for those who journey this way.

President Trades and Labor Council.
