ignorance-had not grossly Disseminated against

Be sure. you men in Butte who vote to-
morrow, that the gold assault which has de-
stroyed the silver mines in Montana, if it be
permitted to have its run, will not stop until it
has made silver a comparatively worthless ele-
ment, as well, in the great copper properties
where the metal is by-product. The gold
crusade, if it can carry another presidential
election, will never pause until it drives the
price of silver so low that the agitation for sill

cease. Silver was 6I I-S cents Saturday-its

the gross sum OF money received by that company

BUITE'S NEEDS; BUTTE'S DUTY.

Circumstances which Montana could not
control made political issue out of the
silver question. Legislation at Washington,
promoted by gold and in the interest of gold,
deal in criminal unfairness with the silver money
of the people. The only way to make this
wrong right is through legislation in congress.
Tomorrow, in common with all the states COM
posing the republic, Montana will cast its con-
gressional vote.
Constantly, during the recent week, the
Standard has found it to be its first duty to re-
mind the people of this state that free coinage
is the campaigns cardinal issue. This warning
has not been sounded with view to flinging
out rotund campaign phrase. On the con-
trary. But, at the outset. it transpired that
insignificant side issues and unworthy personal
ambition in Butte threatened to divert the citi-
zens of Silver Bow county from the real issue
of the hour or, rather, from the direct damage
to every one of Butte's business interests which
must be the certain result of failure to uphold
and defend the free-coinage faith.
In many of the congressional districts in
the great commonwealth east of the Missis-
sippi river the silver question has been bitterly
contested during the campaign that ends to-
morrow. These are districts that have no silver
mines They the home of citizens whose
recent years have been unvaried experience
of constant decline from the prosperous in

suit of a study of economic conditions, these

silver was wrong act, designed, as experience
proves. for the benefit of the rich and favored
few at the expense of the common people
Well-grounded in the belief that their view is
right, these citizens making sturdy fight
for silvers restoration to coinage. This fight
has to be made at the polls because, as re-
marked, question essentially financial has to
have its preface in congressional politics, be-
cause the original wrong was congressional sin.
Montana shares the opinion of these eastern
constituencies respecting the wrong to all the
people that was enacted into unjust law; but
Montana also has an added selfish interest, be-
cause Montana is silver producing state. We
speak OF this interest as selfish; it nevertheless
is altogether honorable; it is prompted by the
sentiment of justihable sef-defense. Spite of
this double interest it seemed, during the early
days OF the campaign, for reasons locally motor
ious. that there risk of neglect of the chief
business of the moment This newspaper feels
sure that the danger that at first threatened no
longer impends, yet the Standard deems it a
duty to make its last campaign utterance word
OF warning, lest, by any hazard, Butte's record
be made wrong.
Every voter in Montana knows how the
persecution of silver has resulted in the ruin of
Montana towns and camps which silver mines
had made prosperous. Less than six hours
