FOR BLAINE AND PROTECTION.
The Irish of the Eastern States Will Oppose
Cleveland and Free Trade.

Mr.. I. OReiA Russell, a representative Irish
American citizen of New York, is in the city on
a business trip, and was encountered yesterday,
at the Spencer House, by a Journal representa-
tive, and questioned concerning the attitude of
the Irish people in the East toward Cleveland
and the Democratic party.
you know" said Mr.. Russell, Chat hereto
fore the Irish have acted almost UNANIMOUSLY
with the Democracy, but / am satisfied that
sixty per cent. of them will repudiate Cleveland.
and vote for Blaine. They do not do SO because
they have abandoned the Democratic party en-
tirely, but because Clevelands record is distaste-
full to them. They regard Geveland's vetoes
and his official acts as sufficient proof that he is
allied with the monopolies as against the inter
ests of the workingmen, and Mr.. Blaine is re-
garded as their friend
How about the tariff issue2'
"That, too, has a great effect upon the Irish.
They are not willing to support with their votes
a party that favors free trade. They are work
ing men almost to a man and know that the
doctrine of free trade is diametricaAy opposed
to their interests. They are not going to do
anything that wouldb be SO gratifying to England,
as to aid the party Of free trade to gain suprem-
acy in this country. Then, too. Clevelands veto
of the religious worship bill is having its effect.
There is no doubt Mr.. Blaine viii receive the
great bulk Of the Irish vote. Another thing that
will gain Irish votes for the Republicans this
fall is the presence on the ticket Of General To
gan. He has taken am active and prominent
stand in favor of the Irish cause and IS regarded
with the highest degree of favor by our people.
Another class that will vote with the Repub-
Hcans this faH' continued Mr.. Russell, lis the
French Canadians of New England and the
East. While many Of them are not citizens.
there are at least sixty Thousand votes among
them, and they will be cast almost solidly for
4 the ReDublcanS. Thew are influenced to do
this by the stand of the two parties on tire tariff
issue. They are rabidly antifree trade. and
win vote with the party Of protection to Amer
lean industries

via Canada.

A few days ago F. R. bingham, of
Montreal, was here. He ships more
cattle to Europe than any other Cana
dian, having sent over $4,000 head
across the Atlantic last year. In con-
versation with one of the Journal staff
he stated that he had contracted to take
Sir Moreton Frewen's cattle to Europe
over the route through Canada if Mr..
Frewen's efforts tx have the cattle re-
ceived in England without being slaugh-
tered at the port of entry are successful.
He believed Mr.. Frewen would soon
succeed in his scheme. This would
place Montana cattle shipped over the
Canadian route on the same basis as
Canadian cattle which can be held and
fed in England if the receivers SO desire.
He said there are 2, 900, 900 head Of cattle
that would be effected by the change to
the extent Of about $40 per head which
would make a difference in favor of
northwestern cattle interests of about
500, 0OO, 900. He said that the ability to
hold anG feed Canadian cattle in Eng
land, to slaughter them at pleasure,
makes them bring $40 more each than
cattle from the united states, which have
to to be slaughtered on arrival in Eng
land.-Yellowstone Journal.

that afforded a profit to- the dairyman.
Scallawag cattle and grease for butter
may sometimes be too low in price TO
afford profit; but the good beef and the
good butter are always profitable. A
man who has been for almost three
score years engaged in cattle growing
said to a reporter the other day: Il
have never seen the time when good
beef would not bring a good, cash price"
Sheep, when raised, on paper, are the
most profitable stock in the land to
grow. Mules also show tremendous
profits on paper; but wool and mutton
and mules are all subject to the ebb and
flow of the tide OF business prosperity.
Beef is subject to the ebb and flow Of
hunger's demands, and a hungry boom
is sure to come around at shorter inter
walls than a business boom. One may
take a thousand mules to the ST. Louis
or Chicago markets, and be weeks or
months disposing of them; but the man
who takes a thousand cattle to either
market in the morning "a AVE the
price of them in his pocket when be
sits down to dinner.
Grass may be king, but the COW is
queen. She has worn the crown for
long, long years. She has paid off more
mortgages on the old farm, has educated
more boys and girls, has brought more
luxuries into the household and comfort
and independence in old age, than any
other living thing that was eve On the
farm.-Denver CHARACTERIZATION.

STOCK DEPARTMENT..

Invest in Sheep.

This is the most opportune time to in
vest in wool growing that has occurred
for the past three Or o u years. Owing
10 the stringency in the money market,
sheep are ruling considerable lower this
year than for some time past, and those
wishing to invest may hope for a better
opportunity. There are a number Of
Montana growers who have been oper-
ating extensively on borrowed capital,
and since interest is getting higher,
they seem to have, with one accord,
concluded to curtail their operations !;
hence the weakening Of the price.
Heretofore these men have been in the
field every year as buyers. When they
change tactics and want to sell, a slight
decline is unavoidable. Then, of pre-
vious years there has been a consider
able demand from new beginners, but
this year capital seems to be seeking
other channels. Good, clean ewes, not
over four years old, worth $3.50 one
Year ago, may now be purchased at 81
which is very reasonable. These ewes
will average from u to s pounds of wool
per head next spring, which will GER
tainly net 20 cents, and will bring the
grower from ST .50 to $l.60 per head. Be-
sides, an 80 per cent. increase Of lambs
can safely be calculated upon, which
will be worth So per head n year
hence. Hence, for a 81 inv estment, So
may be realized, gross. And as 81 per
head should be sufficient to pay the run
ming expenses of a flock for twelve
months, there is a show for an increase
of SO per cent. of the capital invested the
first year-one-half of which would be
cash. Now, sheep men would make
these figures much closer, and show bet
ter results, but we prefer to figure on the
safe side. We know these figures are
not above the average, and there is a
chance for superior industry and execu-
tive ability to do much better. There
fore we do not hesitate in assuring our
readers that the opportunities for in
vesting in sheep are much better than
are offered in any other branch Of the
stock NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The Canadian Cattle Quarantine.

General Traffic Manager Alexander,
Of the Manitoba line, characterizes the
order in council of the Dominion gov.
eminent regarding the importation OF
cattle from the United States as an at
tempt to frighten stockmen. DR.. Nc
Eachran, official veterinary surgeon in
the employment of the Canadian gov
eminent, states that the quarantine ap-
plies only to stock brought into the
country for breeding purposes. His in
structions are to treat in the future herds
in transit from Montana the same as
Walkers. This is all the concession
that Montana cattlemen require, and
the shipment of stock by the northern
and popular route can go on just the
same as before the order was made.

Good Beef Cattle Always Pays.

The whirligig of fate sometimes serves
all men more or less shabhiiy. Over
production stops the wheels Of the mills,
the spindles of the factory and puts out
the fires in the furnace. Over-produc-
ton stores the granaries and elevators
to overlooking with wheat and corn that
brings less in the market than iticosts.
But over-production, understanding
ton, business stagnation and financial
decentralization have never reduced the
price of good beef cattle SO low chat
there was no profit in growing and fat
tening them. A good, golden butter,
with the sweet fragrance Of the meadow
grasses, has never failed to bring q price

Vermont Merinos.

"When the first prize for merino sheep
was awarded American merinos at the
international exposition at Hamburg,
about twenty years ago." says the San
Francisco Chronicle, "all Europe was
astonished. The Yankee sheep took
the prize over the best focks of Europe,
and they could not understand it. After
the first surprise was over the European
sheep growers, at the close of the exhib-
ition, did the best possible thing-they
purchased the American merinos, or
Vermont merinos, as they were gener-
ally called, for the Improvement of their
stock, at what was then an unusual
price,
