tiny bird, which had seemingly gust alight-

The story Of tho run on tho Spokane

RES In that city, illustrates to a nice
tlegrce how the causolcss frightsof peo-
pie results in long injury to their city.
The Spokane banks we're as sound in
situations in all respects as a city needs.
Their we're ample enough to
pay dollar for dollar to every depositor.
Two Of the ones that failed have been
recrgan,zed under the fine recommen.
dation Of the bank examiner and
the others will be opened again
very soon. The scare among the
people, however, will result in injuring
the city's reputation, not in banking
centers, but among a large class Of ig-
norant people who think that bank
failures in a new town signify the end
Of prosperity.
The banks OF a city form the back-
bone OF its business. No matter how
prosperous a business man may be, in
order to move along he must have rala
tions with banks; we believe it is an old
axiom that the wealthier q business
man is, the moro money he owes. The
prosperity OF n new western town like
Spokane was largely dependent upon
the ability Of banks to carry large enter.

from which they were looking for new
people and new investments. They
know better now, but it is too late to

In these days OF worry over tho nomadic

Some nights ago q report came over the
telephone wire that o lot of tramps were
trying to break into some Of the houses at
Lenox whose owners are away. The city
marshal and a policemen rushed out to the
suburb in a hack, and going to one of the
houses indicated by the excited residents
found that the supposed burglars wore two
deputy sheriffs who were out at Lenox for
the very purpose of seeing that none of the
buildings were robbed. On Saturday night

him there were a namber of tramps in

HOW WOOL WILL he HELPED.

In reply to The INDEPENDENTS ad.
vice to Montana representatives to pre-
pare for the attack to be made on silver,
the Fergus County Argus asks why not
also include the attack to be made on
wool?
We shall certainly do this on the frst
reliable information of any effort on the
part of either congress or the admins
tration to deprec,ate the value Of the
Montana wool product. For reasons
often stated, and arguments thoroughly
discussed last year, we do not anticipate
that we will be called upon to take this
stand. A revision of the wool tariff that
will increase the manufacture OF that
commodity by permitting the free i'm
portation Of Australian woods that are
needed, will make a better demand and
a steadier market for the wool in this
state. We have the best wool in the
world for mixing purposes, and nothing
like it is grown elsewhere. If, however,
our manufacturers are forced to the use
of shoddy in their inability to get woods
needed, there must necessarily be a
lesser demand for our product.
The price Of wool has been steadily
falling under the so-called protection of
a high tariff, and it is therefore not at
all surprising that the prices quoted this
year are not up to the standard expected
by some of our leading growers. An
other reason for this decline is found in
the unfortunate condition Of finances.
There is a tightness in the money mar
ket, an unwillingness OF an inability on
the part of manufacturers to increase
the output, and a general lack of o n
fidence in all quarters where money is
needed for business. This situation
alone would cause a lower price for wool
this year. It does not, however, prevent
the republican demagogues from claim,
ing that it is due to fear that the tariff
will be removed, although we are still
working under the Mckinley bill. The
brokers are taking advantage of other
conditions to get wool at the lowest
prices and we are again hearing that
old cry that we heard in the last cam
paign, that everything was going to
smash, because of a belief that the dem
ocrats would rip the country up the
back when they returned into power.
But that cry did not go then and it is
played out now. A revision Of the wool
schedule as we'll as all other schedules
will strengthen that industry and make
the country at large more prosperous.
