CHRISTMAS

Ten months ago. when the record was
made up. the business world far east OF
h mountains was inclined TO be skep-
teal respecting the figures in which
were summed up the grand total OF
the products Of Montana's mines and
focks and herds and farms and forests
for the year 1897. The totals were so
large that those who are not we'll ac-
quainted with the wealth of Montana's
resources were disposed TO doubt the
testimony Of the report of which they
formed a part. The figures stand-their
accuracy is no longer questioned. They
have been accepted as authentic: they
have been made official by federal
authority. and Montana has thus estab-
Iished her right to rank as the Treasure
State.
Surprisingly large as were the figures
for 1897. the information that Is at hand
for the current year indicate that the
magnificent showing OF IL months ago
will be eclipsed by the statement N

We take the following extract from
The letter of well-known American
newspaper correspondent as affording
one view Of the cause of poverty in
Great Britain.
Trade unions, technical schools and
benevolent societies have done much
to elevate the condition Of the laboring
population, but 1t is still much lower
than in, the United States and in many
places aescends to degradation. I
asked John Burns what was the great
est cause Of poverty in England.

What Is the greatest obstacle to
the advancement of the working
classes?"

What is the reason that the work.
ing classes of Great Britain are less
Intelligent, less tidy and less ambi-
tious than those Of the United States 9"
Drink" he again calculated.
What is the greatest incentive 10
crime and vice among the working
people?"

OF the working classes of your country
