There is good deal of red tape
connected with mining and prospect
ing in the new districts across the
British Columbia boundary, to which
many American miners have gone.
Mining recorders are subordinates OF
an official called gold commission
er, who is sort of little god. BY
him all disputes as to titles and wages
are settled, and he collects moneys
due which cant be obtained in the
ordinary way. The commissioners is
sues licenses to prospect or work in
the mines. In fact everybody en-
gagged in any kind of business there
has to be licensed. A license costs
%, and the revenue tax which must
be obtained with it is %. Without
q license . person is not allowed to
hunt or fish, and unless the miner has
one the law gives no protection in
the collection OF wages.

n Dirty sham ..


No matter who may be responsible
for the discourteous act, the fact still
remains that the exclusion OF ex-
President Harrison and x-Vice Pres
ident Morton from a place of honor
and respect in the recent naval pa
rade and the Worlds Fair opening is
the most contemplate act in current
American history. No men did more
to promote the success OF both the
great national demonstrations than
did the President and Vice President
of the last administration, and three
months ago they would have been the
idolized center of horde of syco-
phsntic toadies. The generous
hearted American people do not ap.
prove such discourteous public az
fronts.

Dispatches the past few days have
given accounts OF failures Of scores of
banks and other business houses, the
Columbia National Bank, of Chicago,
being the first to close its doors. This
is the natural result OF our cramped
financial system. The moneyed
Glasses have been fleeing the pro-
ducers, and now the bigger fish OF
tho former class will swallow the
smaller ones, and the sooner this is
done the better. The more wide
spread the disaster the sooner will the
people be brought to . realization Of
the fact that single standard and q
reduction OF the currency is for the
benefit of only very few of the big
fish. The crash is sure to come, and
be widespread, and 1t will be better
for it to come now than later on
Many causes for these failures will be
given, but the only ono that can be
advanced with reason is the small
volume of money. Free coinage Of
silver only oan bring relief.

THE RESPONSIBILITY.

According to the New York Times,
the business situation is as follows:
"The prevailing money stringency has
been fifty characterized as a rich mans
panic. Thus far it's effects have been
felt very little or not at all by the poor,
by consumers, and by the ordinarily
well-to-do class who are not borrowers.
But the business man or manufacturer
having large interests at stake who has
%frequented the money market seeking
his customary accommodations has
found himself during the last three or
four weeks in such pinchlng times as
very few men now active in the business
world have ever experienced. Money is
almost impossible to obtain on any
terms. 1t is quite immaterlal what as
sets the borrower may have, what COL
lateral, or what credit. Tho supply OF
money in the reserve centres has been
drawn down to SO low a level that loans
cannot be made, sales are restricted,
and collections impossible. To merch.
ants having large dealings this condi-
ton OF affairs presents extraordinary
difficulties, and for manufacturing con
Germs whose sales are now limited by
the conditions of the market while their
pay rolls must be provided for, the stu
alton is grave"
This is doubtless a correct view of
affairs, and SO long as the stringency is
to business channels the effects
will not be felt by the poorer classes. It
may be different after a time. Montana
has worried through the financial de-
preston in first class shape; it is the
silver market that pinches. This means
the closing Of mines and the failure OF
thousands OF miners to get employment.
This state of distress is directly trace
able to the m%anipulators who are COM
planning of the situation as outlined by
the Times. They want the Sherman
bill repealed SO as to stop the dumping
OF American stock certificates by our
English creditors, and in order to carry
out this selfish purpose are willing to
the supporting industry Of the
country.

TURN QUIZ

Never mind the stiffness" This is the
Fourth of July, the natal day of Ameri-
can independence and we are going to
celebrate it. We are going to forget the
wilted plumago on the silver dollars
eagle and cheer his old father who
screams to-day on every hill top where
dwells a liberty loving American citizen.
We are going to the auditorium to hear
the Warhorse and hen with new at
tention we will hear the reading of that
grand old call of freedom, the Declara-
ton Of ~Independenc. We say "with
new attention." because this is a time
whom Thomas Jefferson would have
driven another nail into the oppression
OF the gold tyrants who are closing our
mines, taking bread from the laborers
and p~aralyzing the people Of the great
producing west. The old warcry OF
their ancestors-"live and let %live'-
seems to have lost its Significance IN
these days Of monied plutocracy.
But lever mind that. 1t is a deplora-
bic situation that will be Strengthened
out by the good sense Of our people, and
call attention to it merely to remind
that the independence of
the silver dollar will be proclaimed in
good time just as the independence Of
liberty was proclaimed 1]6 years ago to-
lay at Philadelphia.
Let it 60 ut that and let your voices
raised in the singing Of that glorious
America! Let your hands
stretch forth in thankfulness that you
re a Montanian, which means that you
in the richest and best state Of the
lnion and with the best people. These
IRE surely sufficient causes for rejoicing
o let the eagle scream, the sky rocket
liz, and let all
Celebrated!

The New York quotations OF silver as
received from day to day are not worth
considering. The price is regulated by
a few anti-silver m%anipulators and is no
criterion Of the value OF the metal under
honest conditions. II congress fails to
repeal the Sherman act the market will
DO better; il the repeal is made the price
will drop. The great fight must be-
made in Washington, and il the silver
people stand solid it will DO won.

Col. JOHN b. HENDERSON orawls down
from the shelf to tell us that it is not
poverty, but distrust that aiilicts the
people. The colonel is right on that
point though strictly wrong in his con-

remedy the evil. But WHO caused the
'distrust! Did it not come from the
gold bugs lair in Wall street, where wild
speculation brought panic to the market
a few months ago?
