A new FACTORY
Promised to Richmond if Plans Pan
Out-A Factory Asking
Admission.

The city councils special commit
tee on the location of new industries
has received a communication from
A. .. Ihlseng of Carthage, Mo. ,
wanting to locate pulley factory
here. The sort of contrivance he
wishes to manufacture is clutch
used with machinery of 10, OO0 horse
power and over. At present the
clutch and pulley of this sort are
papslfaGtuGseordefs are sent thi her
from this country. There is no Amer
lean patent on the contrivance, but
such patent is pending, and when it
is secured the manufacture of the
new machine will go on rapidly
The factory will require two
large buildings, and will employ from
the very first 100 hands with an in
crease as business justities. The let
ter of inquiry has been answered in a
manner certainly encouraging to the
enterprise However, as there were
perhaps hundreds of letters of the
same sort sent out simultaneously to
as many towns, the opportunities for
Richmond to secure the plant are
only one in a great many. Never
theless the factory is certainly worth
trying for and would be valuable
addition if it could be secured.

When my party in caucus decided to
support the bill and the President
assured me that he wanted the bill to

make it temporary in its effect, sim

Of Montana dealt vigorously with the
Quay ease in the senate yesterday in
the course of an explanation as to
why he viii vote for the former sena-
tor from Pennsylvania, notwithstand-
ing he voted against the seating of Mr..
Corbett in the last congress. The near
approach to the time of voting on the
conference report on the financial bill
brought out two speeches on that
measure, one by Mr.. Fairbanks of In
diana and the other by Mr.. Butler of
North Carolina.
Mr. Fairbanks delivered a set speech
in support of the conference report on
the financial bill. He declared that the
bill marks b large and intelligent step
forward In our monetary history. I'm
der 1t the vast Industrial and com
mercial Interests, he said. will have a
period of repose, secure against the
menace of monetary doctrines. Labor
would be benefited for, he said, the
interests Of labor and capital are al
ways identical. They can never be
divorced. They are so interlaced and
interdepenfent that money which in
juriously affects one can not benefi
cially affect the other. No argument
he added. is required to sustain the
wisdom of stable currency, for an
unstable. fiuctuating circulating med
ium unsettles and disturbs and brings
train of evils as merciless and de
structiye as the ravages of war.
Mr.. Fairbanks then made an argu-
ment on the silver question, holding
that the maintenance of the gold
standard wxh silver circulating as
currency at a parity with gold Is the
only bimetal.ism possible with SO vast
difference existing between the
value of the two metals in the markets
and that ii Would be impossible for
the United States alone to maintain
the parity of silver under free coinage
of the latter. The hackneyed phrase
free and unlimited coinage of silver
without the aid or consent of any
other nation on EARTH" was intended
to be brave utterance, stimulating to
the national spirit and to our national
of our intelligsnce.-sz

warm tribute +, the present financial
policy of the government which had
made possible a refunding of our
bonds at the lowest rate of interest

OsroNTEIN, March 6.-The Beers
