feigned anger and talk glibly about
the horrors that is to follow upon this
abortion OF cheap money" and the
contraction of the currency that Will
certainly follow in the taking Of gold
money out of the channels Of trade
He NAV do all this and much more,
publicly-bankers are such cute fell
lows. you know-but secretly he will
certainly do something indicating
radically different belief from that
which he chooses to express In public
Bankers, more than any other class OF
business men. have a holy horror OF
dead capital" and that Is exactly
what Mr.. Smiths $4,000 worth Of gold
bullion would be- More than that ne
would know at once that the prem
ium" on his gold would never be high
er than it was when the silver policy
Of the government was first adopted,
but, on the contrary, must steadily
and rapidly fall as the people reaiized
that 1t was not needed IN their busi-
ness. What would follow? AS natur-
ally az day follows night and harvest
follows seed-time it follows that Mr.
Smith, even while publicly gritting MS
teeth and bewailing cheap money!
would secretly be looking for the best
market in which to dispose Of his
dead capital" And when he had die
posed Of 1t, at the premium supposed
above, instead Of having 10000 gold
dollars or $4,000 worth Of gold bullion
he would have 1000 In live ca2ital
to uss in his business, and his cur
rency. instead Of being contracted,
would be expanded to the extent OF
$1,000
But perhaps some reader may not
understand how this valuable" goid
money could ever become dead capi-
tal' and would like to have that point
further explained. Dead capital ts
the term usually applied to property
which pays no income. Mr.. Smiths
10000 in gold would pay no income
because he couldn't afford to lend 1t
to Tom, Dick and Harry at the usual
banking rate of interest and Tom,
| Dick and Harry could not afford to
pay any higher rate of interest for the
gold money than for silver money be-
cause they could not use 1t In their
business so as to recoup themselves for
the excess. One Of Mr.. Smiths $1O
gold pieces wouldn't buy an ounce
more of sugar, coffee. or tea or a yard
more Of calico. muslin or denims, or
pay a cent more of debt than ten silver
| dollars would. Hence it follows that
Mr.. Smiths $4,000 in gold would be
dead" from sheer excess Of "fat," ;"
as 1t were. Their blood would be too
rich" to mingle with that of proletar-
lat silver, and however aristocratic
and exclusive the banker himself may
be you can rest assured that the dol
lar" he is after is the one that Is not
too aristocratic to circulate among the
plebian producers. For this reason
Mr.. Smith would convert his dead bull
lion into live money as speedily as
possible.
II the 5000, ,O0O, 900 worth of gold said
to be in circulation in this country
could be disposed OF on the came
terms, instead of its disappearance
contracting our volume of money It
would be increased to $900, 0,000. 900.

Are you silly enough to think that

Western men know more about the
east than eastern men know about the
west. The western man is cosmo-
politan, the eastern man provincial.
Most of the western men came origi-
nally from the east, they have de-
veloped a new empire and grown them
selves intellectually-while the man
planted in an eastern pot has been
dwarfed and deprived Of sunshine and
rain-yet the east is shocked at The
Ignorance" of the west.

The work OF the state canvdsslng

smoothly, there being disposition IN
the board to magnify small technicalities
into u cause for delay and perhaps fu-
ture tillibusterlng to secuve certain
Offices. All the returns have been en-
tered ou the tally list but AS exceptions
have been taken by the republicans to
the regularity or suliiclency OF the re-
turns from the counties of Butte, Fall

Lincoln, Lyman, Marshall, Potter and
the unorganized counties attached to
Butte-Ewing, Choteau, Rhinehart,
Martin, Wagner, and harding, the foot
ings have not been made and probably
will not be for some days. 1t will take
the k"kickers" some time TO make up
their minds just what to do. The real
point at stake, no doubt, Is a few of the
more lucrative state offices where the
vote is closest and which the repu blicans
are particularly anxious TO retain. The
majority OF the lowest silver candidate
for elector or congressman over the
highest republican is lS2, and the major
i.y OF the highest silver candidate over
the lowest republican for these offices is
G67, pretty decisive majority for the
silver ticket. TO reverse these results

Mothers Meeting.

The mothers meeting that had been
postponed was held Thursday afternoon.
The program had been arranged with
special reference to the mothers of the
kindergarten children. Miss Clark's
paper on The Aim and Purpose Of
kindergarten Work." was one that
would interest all mothers, even if their
children had years ago become too old
to attend a kindergarten. ..
One thought that Miss Clark empha-
sized was that children should be
taught to derive pleasure from giving
rather than from receiving, and especial
ly at this season Of the year when so
many children are apt to think only of
presents for themselves, forgetting that
the true JOY Of Christmas consists in
making others happy.

w. C. T. u. COLUMN.

The Madison w. C. T. U. held par
! lor meeting last Wednesday afternoon
at the home Of Mrs d. NJ. jerks whose
pleasant rooms were most attractive
with many beautiful blooming plants, a
magnificent white double chrysanthe-
mum and a cactus being especially wor-
thy of admiration.
Various causes cOnspired to render the
attendance smaller than has been usual
on such occasions, but those present say
it was one OF the most enjoyable SOCIAL
meetings the union has held for several
years past. Topics for conversation
were assigned on which all conversed in
groups of two for one minute, and then
one lady addressed the entire company,
speaking about minute on the same
subject on which all had just been con
versing, a different lady being chosen
for each topic.
In answer to the question, "Why
should we wear the white ribbon?" one
lady said that though she had not been
able to intend w. G. T. U. meeting be-
fore for more than two years, she always
wore the white ribbon and that once
she was guest at hotel in another
city in our state where wine was served
at the table the day of her arrival, but
that the next day none was served, and
she was afterwards told that the propri-
etor said that no intoxicants should ap-
pear on the table as long as there was
lady in the house who wore the white
ribbon. She had not herself, however,
said word aboat the wine being
served. She has lately received letter
from that city stating that from that
time to the present no liquor has ap-
peared in the dining room of that hotel.
| The same lady told another at the
close Of the meeting that wherever she
happened to be the first Wednesday of
each month she remembered that it was
the day for the union to meet and she
never failed to pray for blessing upon
the meeting and that something might
there be said that would prove helpful
to some one. r
| Cake and coffee were served and
while one or two ladies were preparing
the coffee the rest were busily engaged
cracking temperance nuts.
