Some idea Of the sufferings and hardships
endured by Gen. Fremont and follow ers
may had from the following as related by
Fremont in his life now being written by
himself and bis wife. Jessie Benton Ere.
mont. He writes: "But the party left in
the mountsins with Mr.. Fitzpatrick were
to be attended to; and the next morning
supplied with fresh horses and provisions,
buried of to meet them. On the second
day we met, q few miles below the Forks OF
the Rio de los Americando, and more for
lorn and pitiable sight than they pre-
sented cannot well be imagined. They
were all on foot-each man weak and
Notwithstanding q horse or mule as
weak and emaciated as themselves. They
had experienced great difficulty in descend
ing the mountains, made slippery py rains
and melting SHOWS, and many horses fell
over precipices and were killed; and with
some even lost the packs they carried.
Among these was mule with the plants
which we had collected since leaving Fort
Hall, along line OF two thousand miles
travel. Out Of sixty-seven horses and
mules with which We commenced crossing
the Sierras only thirty three reached the
valley OF the Sacramento, and they in
condition only TO be led along. Mr.. Fitz-
patrick and his party, travelling more slow
ly, had been able to kill few deer. The
scanty supply was great relief to them;
for several had been made sick by the
strange and unwholesome food which the
preservation Of life compelled them to use.
We stopped and camped as soon as we
met; and repast OF good beef, excellent
bread, and delicious salmon, which I had
brought along, were the first relief from the
sufferings OF the Sierras and their first in-'
PRODUCTION to the luxuries OF the Sacra-
mento. 1t required all our philosophy and
forbearance to prevent plenty from becom.

been before"

The Fort Benton@ Press thinks thu
protection that Montana wool growers
most need is that from the raids Of the
wolves, which, it is declared, ''are assum.
ing such proportions in northern and
eastern Montana as to incite apprehen.
sions concerning the future prospects OF
the stock industry in the sections named
Every day." the "Press" further declares,
"brings news Of the killing of valuable
colts, calves and sheep by the ravenous
beasts" The "Press" says the large gray
wolves are the principal factors, but the
common coyotes are almost as destruct-
i've, and are increasing at rapid rate.
AS means Of ridding the Territory of
these pests, the "Press" proposes this
remedy: 'sThe next legislative assembly
to enact law under which the Territory
Will agree to pay, say 50 for every we'll
stretched, seasonable gray wolf hide and
$1.50 for every well-stretched, seasonable
coyote hide taken from the animals killed
in Montana, the hides of these animals
to be shipped in salable condition to a
designated Territorial officer at the capt.
tai at the expense of the sender or send
ers. The Territory will dispose of the
hides by plblic auction to the highest
bidder" Doubtless something should be
done to rid the Territory of these ami
mails, and the remedy proposed by the
Press seems feasible.

SAN FRANCISCO Examiner" Our pro-
tectionists friends inform us that the
object ef the tariff is solely to keep up
the difference between American and
foreign wages. viii American work
men please take the trouble to ponder
such facts as this? In 1880 the total
value of manufactures in the United
States amounted to $5,369,667, ,7O6. The
total wages paid amounted to $947, 7,919,-
674. Ii no wages had been paid at all,
the cost of the manufactures would have
been $4,422,746,O32. An average duty
of less than 20 per cent, therefore, would
have compensated our manufacturers
not merely for any possible difference in
wages between this and any other
country, but for their total payments for
labor. They will hardly assert that
their foreign competitors get labor abso-
lutely for nothing, The duties under
the present tariff exceed AZ per cent,
and those under the Mills bill would be
about 40 per cent.
