STOCK NOTES.

Young stock for the Montana ranges

A meeting of the wool growers of
southern Montana is to be held at Dillon
on the 10Th inst. for the purpose of form
ing an organization for mutual benefit.
Joe McQuaig informs us that the sheep
in the upper Countrywide Dupuyer,
Muddy and Dry Fork-wintered pretty
well, although a few, who were not we'll
supplied with hay, met with losses.
MI. j. R. Craig, Of Oxley ranch, n.

River on yesterdays coach, and has re-
ceived a hearty greeting from his many
Fort Benton friends. Mr.. Craig reports
that his cattle came through the winter
without any serious loss-that they Jared
fully as we'll as Montana cattle.

the prominence enjoyed by Cheyenne

butary region yet remains in possession

Taxation Of Stock.

Mr.. Phil. E. Evans, deputy assessor
of Deer Lodge county, desiring to ascer-
tain at what rates cattle were assessed
at in the various counties, addressed
inquiries to the assessors, and has al
ready had responses from several. In
Lewis and Clarke county horned stock
is assessed at $28 and sheep at $3.50; in
Silver Bow, horned stock cattle $50,
milk cows $50; in Beaverhead, horned
stock, from yearlings up, 500, and stock
horses $25 to $40. Mr.. Evans has so far
rated stock cattle, from y~earlings up, at
$23, and milk cows at $50, which is lower
than the average reported. Stock horses
vary from $50 to $35 per head, and work
horses from $50 to 500. We are inform
ed also that in the upper end of the
valley, he rates first-class hay lands at
SO per acre, and first-class agricultural
at $3.50, basing valuations we presume
largely upon the net earning values of
the lands.-NeW Northwest.

Stock Yard Charges.

CHICAGO, April Accommodating on
the resolutions of the Wyoming stock
growers association IN the ~extraordin-
airy rates charged by the Chicago stock
yards, the Daily News says the signifi-
canoe of the situation cannot be over
estimated. This is not the first public
protest against these charges. Will the
stock yards not take warning in time?
AS little as they may be inclined to be
lieve it, Chicago is not one-tenrh part as
necessary to cattle men as they are to
Chicago. IF the charges become unbear-
able they will take theirstock elsewhere
and 1t would only be II question Of time
to make arrangements.

THE TARIFF ON WOODS.

The first tilt ON the tariff question in
the house was brought on by Conyerse's
motion to suspend the rules and pass
the bill restoring the duty of 1867 on
wool. A thirty minutes debate follow
ed, participated in by Converse, Nc
Kinley, Hurd and others. The follow
ing is the substance of Mr.. Converse's
remarks, which will be perused with
interest by many of the readers of the
RIVER PRESS:
Converse said the pending question
was not one whether the laboring people
should be compelled to bay higher
priced clothing. He would have liked
if his colleagues had shown by facts and
figures that the price of clothing was
cheaper now than it had been prior to
the passage of the bill. Statistics did
not sustain the gentleman's rhetoric.
The question was whether this great in
dustry should be kept in the hands of
American citizens or whether its profits
should be divided among foreign ma
tons. [Applause.] The wool industry
was the largest single industry in the
United States. There were 1920, 728
sheep in the country. The annual pro-
duct amounted 10 Il, 1000, 900 pounds. It
furnished employment to more than
200, 900 men, not women and children
but strong men, What was the effect
of the gentleman's proposition when he
quoted England as an example? Didn't
the gentleman know, did not every one
know that American free trade meant
British protection? Applause, princi-
pally on the republican side. Did not
everybody know that when the tar
if OH wool was cut down SO much
money was put into the pockets of
Britishers in Australia? His colleague
was mistaken when he spoke Of fibred
wool. There were finer fibres produced
in Australia, but superior, more elastic
fibre could be produced in the states Of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia,
Michigan and Vermont. The wool far
mers had asked more protection than
had been asked by all the other indus
tries put together. They had represent
ed that if the wool tariff was not reduc-
ed the industry must surely go into de-
decline that in Australia, where they
had perennial pastures, 100 square miles
could be rented for only 500 per year.
The question was not whether there
should be cheap wool and cheap cloth
ing, but whether the industry should be
preserved for our own people. In a few
years, if the tariff could be kept at what
it was in 1857, the United States would
be able to control its own markets with
out a tariff, but in the present condition |
of things our wool men must necessarily |
be driven from the markets. In the
past year they have lost over $500, 900 in
the reduction Of duty. It didn't affect
the price of clothing. The money was
taken from the farmers for the benefit
of nobody except speculative traders
and 10000 wooden manufacturers of the
country. His colleague, with the aid Of
manufacturers, could rake.up 600, 600, 900
pounds of wool, and he wanted to have
machinery put in motion while 5000, 900
men whose business was to finish raw
material were to be deprived of their
This theory of free raw material
was a fallacy.
