sEIGNIoRAGE.
.fhe Method of Restoring the Precious
Metals to 8 Parity at the Present
Ratio of Coinage, is to l.


The appearance Of evil to the
stability of our finances has been
the argument which advocates oi
the single gold standard have used
to defeat every effort to restore
silver to its place on an equality
with gold.
Silver demonotized by 80 many
OF the commercial nations, is de-
prived of its principal use, conse-
quently of the demand for it, and
of it's commercial value. The
greater this depreciation Of value,
the greater would be the financial
disturbance in our nation, by ito
immediate and unlimited restora-
tion to it's original money func-
tions here, by our government
only.
These apprehensions caused the
President Hayes veto, the defeat
of Bryan in 1896, and the defeat
ot rs-aftirming the Stanley
Matthews resolution in the last
congress.
To ayoid the force of these ap-
prehensions of evil in the future,
I ask through the columns of your
most valuable paper the attention
of bi-metalists to the suggestions
of Mr.. Leonard Courtney. the first
name after Lord Herschel on the
commission appointed in 1892 by
the English House of Commons
to devise plan for putting the
currency of India on gold basis
Congress published six thous-
and copies af this report, and il
should be studied as giving yslga.
bic information for our people.
It is significant fact that afte,
spmmoning to their aid the prin.
cipal fnanciers OF the commercial
world, they were not able to re.
commend any scheme for accom-.
plisshing the pu purposes of their ap.
pointment.
Supplementary to their repor,
a majority of the Commission sub
wittpd . statement that they die
not take into consideration the
question whether gold had ap
preciated in value for the reasor
that il had not been specifically
referred to them.
Mr.. Courtney submitted a sepa
rate statement, (See page 81, Con
gressional pocument,) in which
he said, that for the fpll under
standing of the subject. he though
the question whether gold hae
appreciated in value should b.
considered. For reasons which b,
did not see fit to elaborate at tha
tins hp believed gold had appre
ciated as we'll "s s,'yef dspreeiat

The republicans contested the legality
of the returns that were sant from pre-
cinct "a. The democrats began man
damus proceedings to compel the can
vass of the vote on the basis of these
returns. Thus litigation was started
which landed the quarrel in the SUI
preme court of the state. In respect
to politics, the contention irs which the
election thus became involved made all
the difference in the world. Were the
returns from precinct "a thrown out
the republican legislative ticket in Sill
yer Bow county would score a major
ity. There were five legislative candi-
dates for that county whose election
was beyond dispute. Were the returns
from precinct "a accepted, five other
democrats for Silver Bow County would
be added to the list and these five,
turn ing the scale, would give the dem
ocrats a majority in the session of the
Legislature that had for one part of its
duty the election of Montana's first
two members of the federal senate.
The wrangle was zealously kept up.
The supreme courts ruling ran in favor
of che republicans, but the fight
was carried over to the next year; it
involved the first legislature of the
state in a controversy that became IA
nous.
In respect to the election of state
officers, the contest at the polls, in
1889, resulted in divided victory Jo-
seph K. Toole, who had served as ter
ritorial delegate in congress, and whose
speech advocating Montana's admission
to statehood attracted wide attention,

ocrat, by 1887 to 1850. The entire re-
publican state ticket was elected.
On Jan. the Good Templars' hall
in Butte was dedicated. On the 7th the
Great Falls opera house, magnificent
theater, was opened. On the 7th the
first irrigation congress of Montana
was held at Helena, 140 delegates being
present On the 18th the representa-
tives of the Miners unions of Butte,
Granite, Castle, Neihart and Barker
met in Butte to form a state orsaniza-
ton. On Feb. 20 the McDermott hotel
at Butte was formally opened.
On May 9 there was republican
state convention at Missoula to choose
delegates to the national convention at
Minneapolis, and on June the demo-

Thomas II. Carter, a republican, was
chosen to be the young states first

tives.
Outside of politics and the matters
relating to statehood, the year 1889
had few events of significance in the
annals OF Montana. On the morning
of March 16, the mammoth smelter at
Carroll was destroyed by fire, leaving
acres of valuable machinery in tam
gled wreck and involving loss that
was vast On the ofsernoon of Sun

was announced that the building of
the Boston & Montana smeter at Great
Falls was a settled fact. A deplorable
calamity of the year was the fire in
the ST Lawrence mine resulting in i'm
mense damage and in the, shutting-in
of five miners. whose bodies were not
recovered till months later.
