Great Falls tribune., 1888-10-17

GREAT FAL
receive many republican votes. On the
way here from Lewistown he met an old
| republican and asked where he might get
| a horse to relief one that was disabled.
"Billy Clark said he, stake that team
and pound them we'll, for want you to
get thar" (Laughter.) He referred to
the growth of Montana which was marked
constantly by new enterprises, such as
new railroads, new cities and smelters, to
swell the wealth Of the world (cheers)
Among them was this beautiful city,
which has risen on the banks of the Mis-
souri,, and reflects credit on the ire
pressible enterprise of Broadwater and
Hill (cheers). Mr.. CLARK then spoke Of
the reduction of the treasury surplus and
the question of reform. He said that if
the $130,000,0O0 surplus now in the treas
ury were in circulation the whole country
would gain thereby. He referred to
Garfield, Grant and other great leaders Of
the republican party in the past as friends
OF tariff reform. He spoke of Knute
Nelson, who today endorsed that policy
He spoke in complimentary terms
of MI. Toole and took up the Mills
bill in its bearing on lead and
wool.
As to lead, he said Spain could not
compete with our home production. In
alluding to labor, he said
CHEAP LABOR is POOR LABOR
at any pnce. (Applause.) Montana, he
added, pays her miners the highest pric-
es paid anywhere. Then he showed that
under the republican tariff law lead is
smuggled into the Colorado and Omaha
smelters free, thereby barring our own
products. But we haven't lead ores
enough in Montana to supply even one
of our great smelter plants, and we will
have to buy in the Coeuer d'Alenes and
in the Kootenai country whenever we
can get railroad communication with the
latter's mines. Those who know me will
not charge me with untagoniZing any in
terest of Montana in congress. (Great
applause.) Taking up the subject ol
wool, he said he found the dissatisfaction
with Mills proposition on that point was
being removed. He showed that
4 OUR TERRITORIAL WOOLs
would be mixed with higher grades from
4 Australia, to make finer fabrics Of Wooen
| goods; he showed that rs cents per head
was the ruling price for caring for sheep
in Australia, and said the long fibre wool
Of that country doesn't interfere with our
territorial wool market Spectators in
the east had taken advantage of false re-
ports in republican newspapers in Mon
er value The fact is we need fear no
foreign market as a competitor to Mon
tana wool. (Applause.) He denied Car
ter's allegation that anybody in Italy
could live on two cents worth of .oac-
caroni and oil. He thought they'd ne59rii 59ri
u little castolspil if aileY lived on that sta aw

Argentine Republic was no competitor
of Montana. In England the price of
land was too high to produce wool,
though they might continue to produce
mutton; the eastern states could not com
pete with
THE FREE RANGES OF THIS TERRITORY.
Russia imports wool largely of the third
class, or carpet wOnl Asia imported a
like character of woOls. We have suffer
ed nothing from foreign competition of a
like character that we produce. APP
plause
If we could have the softer grades from
foreign countries free, we would increase
our manufactures Of finer fabrics OF wool
en- goods, Applause and save $44, 100000
per year, which we are paying for fine
woolen goods made IN foreign countries
Applause and cheers Of good. Ther
under these conditions we could expor
woolen goods at higher grades. We hav'
, the best machinery and labor in the worlt
[Great applause The Yankees lead il
inventions. Their inventive genius defie
competition in the old country, wher
the flower Of the nation is found in til
standing armies, and under favoring con
u ditions we can beat the world in manu-
featuring woolen goods for home and fol
: eign consumption.

$ in conclusion, would call your attento
u to the fact that high protection mean
s low wages, and we all know that labor
e paid poorly enough now in the east.
