Europe did not join. Why? Because
in September. 1897, some bankers met,
few in numbers and with closed doors,
and pledged themselves to secrecy, and
adopted resolutions declaring that the
gold standard was all right. Those
bankers controlled the English govern
ment, and the English government
controlled Europe and Europe,

trolled the policy of the United States.
You tell me that the gold standard Is
on it, You tell me that the money
question is dead. No handful of Eng
fish bankers can ever settle question
for the American people. (Applause.)
They say we can't use the same argu-
ments now as in 1896. There is diff
man. In Ohio, in 1897, when I went
there to make speech, they said:
There comes Mr.. Bryan singing the
same song as in 1885, The silver man
could sing the same song over and
over again, and the more he sings it,
the more the people like 1t.
Never Repeats Song.
"The goldbug never sings the same song
twice. They said In 1896: What you need
IS confidence They can't play the conf
aence game upon us any more Four days

good. No goldbug can discuss the ques-
ton for an hour without contradlcting
himself. In 1896 he said that what the la
borer wanted was falling prices; now he
tells the farmer that prices are rising, and
forgets to tell the laborer that he cannot
buy, as much for his money. To hear a
soldbug argue you appreciate the story
that was so crooked that he met himself
coming back. The goldbug contradicts
himself so much that he is continually
meeting himself.
1.-The gold standard can have but two
results. First, it proposes to make gold
the only standard of value. That means

DO We want this kind of basis for

broad that no one will be cramped, a ba-

ism because we want the standard SO

international agreement. but in Noveir-
Der. 1883. Secretary Hay wrote to Lord
Aldingham, director of the Bank of
England. in which he said that the presi-
dent and majority of congress still be-
lieved in International bi-metallism and
Its dcsirability. But the republican party
in the state of Iowa has repndiated the
national platform of the republican party
and has written and adopted platform
as strong for gold as though 1t had been
written by a foreign tinancier. 1t is a
platform that means the retirement of the
greenbacks and the issuance of only such

MUSSELSHELL EVENTS.

Death of John Logan Erroneously Re
ported-will Celebrate the Fourth.
Special Correspondence of The Gazette.
Musselshell, May 30.-Dr. Allen.
the genial Billings dentist, was a pas
senger IN the stage going north several
days ago. He was accompanied by DR..
Reisland of Fargo, N. D., and niece,
also DR.. Reisland's clerk, who will look
after the eyesight of the afflicted in
Gilt Edge and Lewistown.
Messrs. Gile & K%reichbaum suffered
the loss of a valuable work horse a few
days ago, caused by u of it's hind legs
coming in contact with a road scraper,
nearly severing the same and rendering
the animal worthless. It was deemed
best to dispatch tile horse.
Owing to the continued rains and
wet weather it is impossible to farm
and seed some of the ranches upon what
is known as Missouri fiat, a few miles
below the crossing. The grass and
feed upon the range, however, never
was better for this time Of the year.
1t was enormously reported that the
death of Joe Logan vas the result Of a
spree, but it is desired to contradict
such a report, as it is positively known
that the deceased had no liquor for
some time previous to his death. Heart
trouble is supposed to have been the
direct cause of his death. The deceased
was we'll known in this section and as
far as known never was married. He
leaves a sister in Kansas City, NO., the
only relative he is supposed to have.
1t is said that his will provides that
the main portion of his money shall go
to some state benevolent institution.
The Musselshell roundup begins work
on June 2 upon Half Breed creek,
working up the river on the south side
to Lavina, then down upon the north
side.
S. H. Erwin dedicates his new store
building at Roundup Friday night Of
this week with a social dance, and a
general good time is promised.
H. B. Segur, the clever and jolly
general agent of the Burlington route,
was in this section last week looking
mp business for his gigantic system.
For the Fourth of July celebration at
the crossing arrangements have also
been made for an exhibition of fancy
riding in the afternoon at the grove by
expert riders, and purses will probably
be made up for pony races. In all il
will be a day Of fun and pleasure TO,
everybody present.

Helena to enter the employ of the
Western Union, remaining steadily up

city. From 1887 hi held the position

Of the great leaders of the market,
many of whom were away from the
city, and every effort was made to get
together the necessary forces to stand
in the breach. Mr.. Henry Zuckerman,
a member of the firm, was dispatched
to Boston on the midnight train to
prevail upon spectators and investors
in that city not to sell stock, but to
buy on the break. The result of all
this work was that the firm Of Rolston

James H. McNeeley. one of the com

as follows:
1.-THE Indians on this reservation
raise excellent crops of spring wheat,
and year after year are increasing the
production of this cereal as we'll as of
oats. The extension of irrigation na-
bles them to bring more and more land
into cultivation. At a late letting Of
contracts by the Indian bureau the
Grows we're awarded the contract for
$50, 900 pounds Of flour for the North

agency grinds by the roller process, and
the miller, MIR. Hector Ross, turns out
an Al article, which compares favora-
bly, with any other make Of flour. It
is labeled Grow (picture) flour and we'll
liked by Indians as we'll as whites.
The traders of the reservation handle it
and even at Billings and Sheridan it
completes with -four made at the mills
in those towns. All this is not only
creditable but profitable to these In
dams, at which their well-wishers re-
joice.
