The growing sentiment in favor OF
b~imetallism, particularly in England,
is most gratifying To the west. While
many believe it unnecessary to wait
the action OF England before adopting
free coinage in this country, 1t is the
opinion of our most eminent statesmen
that it would he dangerous to make
the attempt alone. However, at the
present time it does not seem probable
that England ear long hold out against
the balance OF the world. But for the
strong hostility of the present admins
tration much could be done to advance
the cause of the white metal. Will

ANOTHER BANK.

The Mud Geyser is attempting to
hoodwink the people of this county in
relation to II new banking institution.
1t would have the people believe that
the only way to secure another bank
is by electing n Democrat to the office
OF county treasurer. The point is
made more for the purpose OF advanc-
ing some ones candidacy than for the
purpose of securing another bank-a
mere political ~suhterfuge to arouse
prejudice; nothing more. In the first
place II banking institution that
would locate here on the slight induce
ment of handling the county funds
would be a weak concern. Men with
capital and business ability would
want to see greater encouragement
than this. They are looking for de-
positors and safe loans. Is there any
thing encouraging in the present situa-
ton for a.bank anywhere in Montana?
Most of them are simply trying to
keep their doors open. If banks
wanted to loan money on worthless
security no doubt there is great OPP
portunity, but under the present
Democratic Administrations requires
the very best security to obtain
money. Ii bankers are exercising the
same caution everywhere isthere any
thing about the situation in Fergus
county to warrant a different policy.
When times are lively and our indus
tries in n healthy condition it is an
easy matter to obtain money. If the
voters of this county want another
bank and good times they should take
the earliest opportunity to cast their
votes against a policy that has
brought on the distress.
With the Inauguration of a Republic
can president and the guarantee OF a
restoration OF the protective policy
the country will again be prosperous
Then we will have another bank.
more merchandising establishments
and representatives of other indus
tries anxious to locate here. But a.
long as the present conditions prevail
such enterprises are liable to grow less
instead OF greater. No Republican
should be deceived into voting against
the candidate of his party on sush q
demagogic plea. The knave, the lial
and the ~demagogue with his venomous
tongue poisoned h ehearts and minds
OF the people two years ago. Sucl
should be watched in the future.
1t matters not who the Republican:
nominate for county treasurer il
j. the aim to defeat him on the cry
that she is controlled by the bank
No Republican could be chosen in tn,
county who would expect to escape
this charge.
What would the taxpayers hav,
such an officer do? He sunder heavy
bonds for the safe keeping OF count,
funds and must be expected to deposit
them where he sees fit. They canno'
be kept at the court house without 4
proper vault is constructed for theiI
safety, which would entail consider
able expense upon the county.
As the county is about to fund
portion OF it's Indebtedness and war
rants will soon bring face value, tb'
bank will certainly not get rich shaw
ing warrants.
By all means let us have anothe
bank and every new enterprise We cal
get, but don't be mIsled into defeat
ing "a good man on the delusion tina
it will bring about the millennium.

financial chaos from one end ofthe country
to another. You see silent looms, extin-
guished iorges; you meet with ruined mer-
chants; you hear OF the crash of falling
fortunes that men are losing from day to
day. But most pitiable OF all it is to see
the large army of unemployed, with their
wives and families tramping through the
silent streets OF the cities. SIR, Mr.. Joseph
Buchanan Of New York has published a
somewhat elaborate paper showing the
numbers oil unemployed in the United
States. He puts the number of adult
males in the United States at $4,000, 600,
Of whom 5000, 600 are employed in agri-
cultural pursuits and 1.ooo,o % are pro-
p~rietors of various manufacturing estab-
lishments, thus leaving 6,0Oo.oo0 wage
earners. OF these 5000. 600 he says there
are at the present time 2.390,oOo out of
work. Is not that "A most deplorablest state
Of things? Workingmen all over the world
are slow to learn, hut in the end we gener-
ally find that their judgment Is correct.
Like Artemus Ward, ] do not care to
prophesy unless | know, but l will venture
for once to say that the first opportunity
the people OF the United States have for
p~ronouncing their opinion upon free trade
at the polls the party now in power will be
swept out by n wine of popular disfavor
which can only he compared to a blizzard.
Sir, | ask this house, | ask the people ol
Canada to take warning by them and to
stick to a good thing when they know they
have got it.
The people of America did ot"stick
to a good thing when they had it," but
when they get it back again, as they
certainly will, they willk now enough to
keen it.

upon him; the northern farmer is de-
prived of protection to his wool" The
woolgrowers of the county, although
they have made a vigorous protest
against free wool, are given no consid-
Grafton whatever, largely due to the
fact that the party has nothing to lose
from woolgrowing states. 1t is quite
likely that with the changes made in the
bill it will get through the senate be-
fore midsummer, but the attitude of
the party is such as to damn it forever,
whatever the result. Professor Wilson
will not feel flatterel when the abor-
ton with 100 changes comes back to
the house for concurrence.

A NICE BEAR.
But He Is Addicted to Eating Clothes and
Hats.

MIssoULA, May 10. When Alder
man Darbee opened his store yester-
day morning, the sight that met his
eyes WAS not altogether a pleasant
one and when his partner, Will
Brooks, came in shortly after he, too,
was upset by the spectacle before HIM.
Felix" the enterprising black bear
cub that attracts crowds to the front
of the store window, had been allowed
the liberty of the store the night be-
fore lest he choke himself by getting
caught in the rope with which he is
tied during the day. In some way he
forced an entrance into the other show
window, which is filled with goods and
during the night he played sad havoc
with the articles which had been
placed there for display. He partially
devoured eight pairs OF shoes and LETT
the marks OF his sharp claws
on four suits of clothes. When dis
covered in the morning he was seated
on a shoe box eating the top out OF a
Stetson hat and gleefully surveying
the ruin around him. Felix will here
after sleep in his pen, despite the
danger of choking.
Felix, despite his winning ways ard
apparent g~entleness is a trcacherous
little fellow and several visitors who
have attempted to caress him have
bandages or court plaster upon their
hands. Felix is IA nice bear but 1T Is
not advisable to tie too familiar with
him.
