Montana and stands in the front rank
of Montana journalism. The success
that it has achieved is largely due to

PROTECTION AND SILVER.

Senators Carter. Mantle. Dubois.
Teller. Jones. and Cannon held a con-
ference witch representatives Of the
wealthie>t manufacturers - 'ho east,
in Washington recently, tn object be-
ing to weld together tho t,ct:ons al
vocating protection and free silver.
Dubois was made chairman of the
9neeting. Hemade a plain and posi-
tive declaration of the pro-silver Sena-
tors by stating that unless the manu-
.facturers would consent to sustain the
friends OF silver in their demand for
the recognition OF that metal as one of
the legitimate money coins of the
land, the ~silverites of the west would
absolutely refuse to vote for protection
in any shape.
The result OF the conference is that
the pro-silver Republicans and the
manufacturers have entered into an Of
fensive and defensive alliance. The
conditions Of this compact is that so
far as the manufacturers ald the silver
Ire publicans can shape the course of
the St. Louis convention, its platform
shall be emphatic in favor Of the free
coinage of silver as FOR the protection
of American industries.
The conference was the re-
suit of a circnlar letter sent out several
weeks ago by Attorney w. Wilhelm,
Of Pottsville, Pa, addressed to lead

Push it Along.

Editor MADISONIAN:
have read with interest your propo-
sition to build by cooperation a rail
road from Virginia City to Gaylord.
l think it is the proper plan and I hope
the MAD1SONIAN will keep hammer
ing away at it + = OF course a pro-
ject of this kind is something immense.
bu: what has been done by others can
be done by US. l am of the opinion
that there are few farmers along the
line OF the proposed road who would
not work out some stock. Every farm
along the line OF the proposed road
would be increased in value.
This matter should be thoroughly
discussed during the summer, so that
something material could be done
early next fall. X.

Mr.. Editor:
I have noticed the items of interest
concerning the magnificent scale of
building a railroad from Gaylord
through the Ruby valley, extending to
Virginia City, and came to the con-
clusion that | would express my senti-
ments on the proposition.
The vast tract of farming and mining
country from Whitehall to Virginia
City is one of the most promising future
prospects of Montana. and to develop
this vast tract nothing is needed more
than a railroad.
The sixty miles OF country is nearly
level: no great expense of laying q
road-bed is to be feared. The maxi
man cost would not exceed S. 800 per
I mile. and could lie built by cooperation
81 farmers and mining men without
feeling the expense. We can only
realize its great importance when such
a great work is completed. Why not
start the project and have II of the
most prosperous counties in the state.
