The problem of maintaining the
800, 900, 900 gold reserve, which was
such a bugaboo of the Cleveland admin
istration, seems to have solved itself
with the return of prosperity to the
country. The reserve of gold in the
treasury is nov 1881, 600. OO0, the high
est point in the financial history of the
government, and when gold is paid out
by the ~sub-treasuries it quickly finds it's
way back to the treasury at Washing
ton, the financiers preferring currency
with which to transact business. This
is hard on the theory Of the free coin
age advocates that there is not gold
enough in the country, and it is no
wonder that they are weakening and
casting about for another paramount"
issue.

" we have been dropping behind, until
at present only 6 per cent OF the Ameri-
can freight is carried in American bot
toms. The u Of this condition lies
largely in the fact that England, Ger
many, France and other European u
tries have protected their maritime in
terests by granting the vessel COM
panies subsidies. The only natural
thing for us to do if we wish to build
up our maritime interests is to do the
same thing"
Those sentiments, we believe, Will
strike the average man as containing a
very fair measure Of craftsmanship. IL
is deplorable. indeed, when our i'm
mense foreign trade is considered, to
reflect that only 6 per cent of it is car
ried in American vessels. The United
States is practically without a mer-
chant marine and it cannot be built up,
it seems, without government aid.
The government, in the interest OF the
people, should extend that aid, especial
" when it is considered that the an
nual saving which a merchant marine
of our own would effect to them is esti-
mated by the most conservative at over
$3.50, 900, 900. "

"The Burlington trains seldom fail

hours of its run is but fun. Billings
on time is the usual way and here the
Northern Pacific is boarded for the fur
ther trip west. It is pleasing to note
that Billings is prospecting. The mer-
chants say that trade is good and the
new buildings in course Of erection is
evidence that the people have faith in
it's future. And we'll they may, for
the country surrounding is proving to
be all that has ever been claimed Of it
as an agricultural region, though de-
velopment as vet has scarcely reached
to one-third the proportions it could

to catch the large immigration that is
coming Montana wards next year, and
its thrifty appearance will ITO doubt at
tract many to cast their fortunes in the

east and west the Northern Pacific
railroad is maintaining its usual good
service, running heavy trains and

A FOOLISH STORY,

The Helena correspondent Of the An
aconda Standard, in Sundays issue,
notes the arrival Of Senator Carter in
Montana's capital last Friday and then
writes the following:
For a month rumors have been flying
about the state that Carter was going
to throw the fourteen republican votes
to Clark, on the theory that it would
disrupt and disorganize the democratic
party and render certain his reelection
in 1900. Carter is very emphatic in
his denial of these i%inputations. He
swears there is nothing in them. He
says such a procedure would cover the
republican party with disgrace and
infamy, and that any republican who
votes for Clark will be forever branded
as a traitor and a boodler, and be poll
tically and socially ostracised, just as
the republicans have been who voted
for Clark in 1898. The senator says
Tom Marshall is the logical republi-
can candidate for senator, and he hopes
aud expect and fully believe that the
republican member will stand by Mar
shall, or some other good republican,
from first to last. That is what I
Carter says. And still the CLARK pei
keep claiming several republican
at the start and the whole bunch
finish.
That is such a foolish story GU We
wonder that Senator Garter takes the
pains to deny it. He is right, how
ever. in predicting that any republican
who votes for Clark will be everlasting
~ disgraced. The men who did that
thing six years ago are still held in
contempt by the people Of Montana, Of
all parties. And, those men. when you
recall who they were and remember
that it was said they were paid many
Thousand dollars apiece for betrayine
their party, are all in Strengthened cir
cumstances today. Which goes to prove
the truth Of the old saying that money
obtained by dishonorable methods doe'
not stay with a man. But dishonol
stays with him and the disgraceful les
son taught six years ago in Helene
through the shameless tactics of tn
Clark boodlers preying upon veal
human natures ought to last Montan'
} for a century.
1t also ought to forever debar an,
man, democrat or republican, from vot
ing for W. A. Clark for senator. /
would be a disgrace to the state to cleo
him and give color to the belief in tn
east that our own beloved Montana
which has not a peer in the Union il
any respect, is only a rotten borough
after all.

EXPANSION AND THE WEST.

EXPANSION AND THE WEST.
Butte Miner: Says The Billings Ga
zette in it's latest issue: Colonel
Bryan was in accord with the senti-
ment Of the people'o of the far west in
his advocacy Of free coinage, u IS
~squarely against them in his opposition
to national expansion. 1t will benefit
the west vastly more than any other
section Of the country, and when the
western people finally realize that free
coinage ia impracticable. Colonel
Bryan will be a back number
Now. the question is how The Ga
zette got in possession of the informa-
tion to warrant the assertion that Col
onel Bryan in squarely against the west
in his opposition to national expansion.
And another question, equally peril
nent, is how it has ascertained that the
people of the west are SO strongly in
favor Of expansion. And still another
is as to how expansion is going to ben
eft the west more than any other sec.
ton.
The Miners three questions can be
answered in a single sentence; the peo-
pie Of the west are progressive. That
is how this newspaper determined Col
onel Bryan is against them in his anti
expansion views. AS to the question,
chow expansion is going to benefit the
vest our Butte contemporary is GER
tainly not serious in asking it. The
immense trade of our new foreign pos
sessions in the Pacific will all come. to
this country by way Of our western
coast where, in another decade, per-
haps, will be built a city as gerat as
New York; a city which will occupy
the same relation to the Hawaiian and
Philippine islands, to China and Japan,
as New York now does to Europe.
That will benefit the west, which the
Miner. we think, will hardly care to
deny.
Besides the natural development
which the building Of such a city on
our western coast would afford this Sec
ton Of the country, it will become a
manufacturing center before long by
reason of this increased trade. How
long, think you, will the people of the
west sit idly by and see the manu-
featured articles required by our new
possessions transported across the con.
, tinent by rail to the Pacific coast?
They will produce them themselves.
The of the west, which have
scarcely been drawn upon yet, are sure
to undergo u marvellous development
under this new impetus. New avenues
of employment, besides mining. stock
growing and farming. will be opened
up for the western people; the popula'
ton should increase tenfold in as many
years. The old saying, westward
