THE WEATHER.
ENEMIES IN THE CAMP.

The only menace to reviving prosper
ity and confidence in Helena comes
from the pound-of-fesh Shylocks VIII
pounoe upon and distress every debtor
who owes them a dollar which, owing te
the scarcity of currency, he cannot I'M
mediately pay. It is q matter 81 COM
mon notoriety that men with large
property interests, men who have IN
vested millions OF dollars in developing
the country and in establishing indus
tries that give employment to thousands
of laborers, have had harrassing attach
ments issued against their property by
miserable skinflints who have never
risked one dollar in any enterprise Tor
the benefit of the community. These
assaults upon the credit OF q lew men
have driven many others to assignments
through fear Of like proceedings, n
the result has been the creation Of dis
trust at home and the impairment OF
Helena's credit abroad.
These userers and money lenders JUS
tify themselves with the plea Of Shylock
of old, that the money is theirs and they
are going to have it regardless of conse-
quences. In the abstract justice 10 on
their side, but every man owes some
thing more to his neighbor, in times
like these, than cold justice. He owes
him sympathy; he owes him helping
hand. And every man, too, owes m
thing to the community in which he
lives. AS he has profited by its pros
perity, he should share its adversely. AS
the enterprise and public spirit OF his
fellow citizens have made his possess
sions valuable, SO in turn is reciprocity
due from him. The man who preys
upon his fellow men in times like these,
no matter who he may be, is a common
enemy, unworthy the confidence or res
pect of the community. He should be
made to feel it's displeasure in a way so
marked as forever to deter others from
initiating his example. There are only
q few of these miserable skirtiints in
Helena. Let us see that their tribe
does not increase. Give them the lash
of public opinion!

FRIGHTENING PROSPECTS.

Ten days have passed since two of
orr Helena banks temporarily sus-
pended business by reason of the money
stringency, and, Notwithstanding the
calamitous wall of croakers and proph-
cts of evil, the bottom has not fallen
out of Helena and the business Of tho
town is uninterrupted. The bank sus-
pensions in the closing week of July led
TO the direful prediction that there
would be no first of August settlements
and that business would &C to the dogs.
Well, the first Of August came and the
bill collectors were %astonished at the
readiness with which people met the
demands upon them. There was ready
cash III plenty and the collectors re-
ported at night that they hadn't seen
such a harvest in months.
And this state OF things continued
all through last week. All the Helena
banks reported on Saturday night that
there had been q great increase in their
deposits-some of them more than dou-
Bile the amount of the previous week.
There we're no more suspensions OF
banks or business houses and the week
closed with less of apprehension of the
future and more of confidence than
marked It's beginning. A great many
people had discovered that they were
more frightened than hurt.
The fact is, as the situation is studied.
it is seen that the conditions of panic
do rot exist in Montana. Money strin-
gency there is, of course. That, how
ever, is due not to local conditions, but
to the withdrawal Of money to meet de-
mands at eastern centres. We have had
no booms in Montana, no over initiation.
We haven't been sending up balloons.
We may stand still for a time until there
is a settlement of the financial question
that will give us sufficient currency for
the demands Of business, but we shall
not go backward. We are on firm
ground. The everlasting riches of Mon
tana are under our feet and on all sides
OF us, awaiting capital and labor to de-
velop them, and when tho call sounds
We shall be at the head of the process
sion in the forward march of empire.
We repeat it, there is nothing in our
local conditions to warrant a panic in
Montana. Let us keep our heads cool
and our faith unimpaired. We have
gold and silver and copper and lead, and
cattle on a thousand hills. These are
not going to slip away from us. Let us
stand fast while tho financial storm
blows over the country. W. shall not
suffer lasting harm.

system was better, although open tc
many other objections. A correspond
ent OF tho Minneapolis Journal Gays
that tinanciers are finding many tea-
lures of the Canadian banking law val
liable and suggestive, and are giving
consideration to tho question Of their
adoption here. In the Canadian system
notes are put out, not against bonds,
but against bank assets, and tho bank
assets are charged with their redemp-
ton. BY this plan the bank note exists
merely to facilitate tho transfer OF the
products Of industry; it is issued on
these products and the bank holds the
products until they are turned into cash
and redeems the notes with the pro-
ceeds. This tho theory. In practice
the products may have been sold and
the proceeds may have been in the
banks vaults long before the note re-
turns for redemption. The Canadian
note is in some respects like
a certificate of deposit, and is
found to be n convenient representative
Of money in the retail trade. TO secure
the redemption of notes it is provided
that the amount any bank may have in
circulation shall not exceed its unim-
paired capital; that notes issued shall
be a first charge on the banks assets;
that it shall annually pay to the minis
ter Of finance for a safety fund" a sum
equal to five per cent Of the average
amount of notes in circulation, and
that notes in circulation shall bear in
terest at the rate OF six per cen from
the day of suspension until redeemed.
The Canadian banks are as safe, it is
affirmed, as respects notes and deposits,
MS ours, and a great deal moro servicea-
Bile to the communities in which they
exist. They are IN a position, in time
of exceptional demand for notes, to in
crease their accommodations to custom
ers at will, and arc interested to con-
tract their issues when the stringency
slackens. Their circulation accord
varies widely with the demands Of
business, differing in this respect, it is
said, greatly from the inelastic note
Of our national banks.

The first act Of congress should be tt
give immediate relief to the situation
by repeating the ninety per cen limit
on the notes of national banks. The
banks should be allowed to issue notes
to the par value of their bonds. This
would instantly and e%ifectually relieve
the present monetary stringency. Then
congress could 60 ahead and establish n
full bi-metallic standard for IL cur
rency, gold and silver on equal terms,

got the start of hiu and made a

on reaching the same attempted to
turn west. They succeeded, but not
without dumping the wagon-box and
contents with much force against the
plate glass front of Zlmmer's store,
demoralizing the same to the extent
of SO worth. The horses coutin-
ued their flight with the running
gear until they reached the fair
grounds, when they were satisfied
to stop without doing any further
damage.
