Helena must send a large delegation of her best citizens to the big silver meeting in Butte Saturday night. By this we mean that every member of that sterling organization, the Board of Trade, should attend, and we hope that the officers and the leading spirits of the Free Coinage association in this city will make special efforts to gather a great number of representatives from professional and business circles. It is also important that a fund should be started and raised to a good figure. Money is needed to carry on Montana's part in the fight, and Helena must hold up her end. Let the work be started immediately and be carried to completion. It is needless to say that it affects the property of every citizen, and all must join in a common movement against the enemy.
