in 1898 the highest was twelve and one
half and the lowest nine and three
fifths, in 1894 the highest was ten and
one-quarter and the lowest nine cents.
In 1895 there was a small advance, the
high point being twenlve and one-quar-
ter and the low nine and one quarter
cents.
Eighteen hundred and ninety-six, 1897
and 1898 showed an improvement, the
general range being from eleven to
twelve cents The present advance be-
gan in January last, the average for
the month being fourteen and three
quarters cents; in February it was
eighteen cents, and it has clung rather
closely to that figure ever since.
In all of these averages minute frac-
tions have been disregarded, the pur-
pose being merely to convey a general
idea of the course. The average Of the
entire period since 1878 may be roughly
stated at fifteen cents. A large portion
of this period was one OF most extreme
depression, the like of which We hope
not soon to experience again. Assum-
ing anything like normal business con-
dtions, there is no apparent reason why
copper should not be maintained any
where between fifteen and twenty cents
for very considerable time.

The Treachery of Them.

~HE war has developed the fact
that one prominent trait Of the
Filipino character is treachery.
In long letter to the New York Sun
the Manila correspondent of that pa
per throws light on this phase of the
war. He describes instance after in
stance of how our soldiers would chase
a large army of the insurgents and pre-
pare to annihilate them when the in
surgents would mysteriously disappear,
only to reappear in a day or two in
some other place fully armed and
equipped for the harassing of the
Americans. Many of them lead a
Jekyll-andHyd existence. fighting
the Americans one day, claiming to be
their friends on the next. The corre-
spondent concludes the letter with this
statement:
THE whole campaign illustrates some
features of the situation in the Philip
pines admirably. We are fighting a
reckless. irresponsible enemy, who can
scatter his men like scared chickens at
will, whenever he is pressed too closely.
When we think we have him completely
demoralized and ready to give up he
takes advantage of the slightest lapse
of vigilance on our part to gather his
he-garments-o of-peace soldiers
together again and give us a whack.
BY the time we can gather ourselves up
to wipe him off the face of the earth, he
is back in the garments of peace again
and we can't find him."
The Filipinos seem to be loyal only to
one thing-the cause of Aguinaldo
When they pretend friendship to the
Americans, it is only to betray them at
the first opportunity. From time to
time Otis assures US that the resistance
is rapidly disappearing and that the
body of the people are in sympathy
with the Americans. The facts war
rant no such belief.

THE peasants of Southern Russia
have been having a hard time
of it for more than a year They
have been contending against famine,
pestilence and burdensome taxes and
now they have made up their minds
that the end of the world is at hand,
an event which under the circum-
stances, they must be awaiting with
considerable impatience. They doubt
less feel that life isn't worth living un-
der the conditions in which they find
themselves. The wonder is that among
such people suicide is not far more
common than it is. The belief that the
world is about to wind up its existence
will complicate and aggravate a situa-
ton that is already about as dark and
gloomy and sinister as possible. The
czar might better address himself to
the amelioration of his starving sub
jects than spend his energies in vision
ary schemes for universal peace.

HERE is no subject in which the
people of Montana have deeper
interest than the future of COP
per. This includes both its production
and its price. and there are many ele-
ments of uncertainty involved in both.
The present very comfortable price is a
comparatively new thing, and there are
many anxious inquiries as to the prob
ability of it's being maintained
These questions cannot be answered
with any degree of certainty, for there
are several doubtful elements to be
considered. There is no reason to anti
cipate any extraordinary increase of
production, and every indication points
to an increase of consumptive demand
of no inconsiderable proportions. About
the only thing that is at all likely to
cause a serious break in prices will be
an unfavorable condition of the money
market, which would, of course, affect
copper along with other things, al
though, if the demand continue strong,
probably in somewhat less degree
In this view of the situation a glance
at the course of prices in the past may
be somewhat interesting and possibly
instructive. The highest nominal price
that copper has ever reached in this
country since 1860 was in July, 1864,
when it was recorded at fifty-five cents.
This, however was in currency then
worth not more than forty cents on the
dollar in specie, possibly a little less
But calling it forty, it gives a specie
price of twenty-five cents. Coming
along down this way to 1879, the first
year in which we found ourselves upon
what was, in a sense, a gold basis
that is, our paper money was at par
with gold-copper is recorded at TWEEN
ty-one and three-quarters cents in No
vember, practically the same as the
highest in 1854.
In 1880 it was little higher, reach
ing twenty-five cents in January, and
twenty-four cents in February. In
June of that year it dropped to seven
teen and seVen-eighths cents, and the
average for the year was about twenty
cents. The next two years showed an
average of about nineteen cents, and
liltil the uSCllne Was more marked. IN
1884 the metal touched eleven cents, the
average being in the neighborhood of
fourteen cents. In 1885 it dropped to
nine and four-fifths cents in May, with
an average for the year of ten and one
half or eleven cents. In 1886 and 1887 it
remained nearly the same the greater
portion of the time, but rising to sew
enteen and three-quarters cents in No
vember of the last named year This
was the beginning of an advance which
was held quite firmly, through 1888, in
which the average was about sixteen
and one-half cents. This was fairly
maintained during the fret half of 1889,
but in the second lnlf there was
sharp drop. the average being about
twelve cents.
In 1890 it advanced again, the first
half averaging nearly fifteen and the
second half close on to seventeen cents
In 1891 it fell heavily, finally reaching
ten and one-quarter cents. In 1892 the
average was about eleven and one-half,
