The action OF the Republicans Of
the House in passing every measure
asked for by organized labor is in
striking contrast with what the Demo
Gratis did while they had a majority
in that body. The facts in this case
furnish an instructive illustrated OBJ
ject lesson Of the methods and objects
OF the two parties. The Democrats
patted the laborer on the back and
talked for hours and hours about
what he ought to have, but they gave
him nothing. The Republicans did
less talking, but they gave the laborer
all the legislation he asked for. The
Republicans OF the House deserve
no special thanks for their action;
they but performed their duty, duty
taught by the traditions of the Re-
publican party, which has always
been the party OF liberty, humanity
and progress.

Let every voter remember that the
Democratic platform calls for reduc-
tion in the tariff on wool. Let them
remember the Importance OF this in
dustry to the welfare OF Fergus county.
1t is not the woolgrower's personal
interests alone that are at stake, but
the well-being OF the people of this
county. The success and prosperity
OF this industry permeates every busi-
ness. The value Of sheep and the
wool product this year will exceed
81 100000, say nothing OF ranches
and improvements. Over $4,000
was paid out to shear the sheep OF
the county this season. But this is a
very small portion OF the money put
into circulation by this industry.
The wOolgrower's trade is of the ut
most import ance to all business men,
and their credit is good almost to a
man. Who would jeopar,lize this
industry by voting for free trade? !?
u your uciRiiuVI uoust wis ou uTc
or his family threatened by an assas-
sin you would willingly render assist
ance to those in danger. Why hesi-
tate to lend your aid when our chief
industry, the backbone OF our pros
perity, is assailed by hostile policy.
The admission of wool free of duty
would mean ruin to the woolgrowers
OF Fergus county and Montana.
Happily the danger is over for the
present by the passage Of the tariff
bill with wool amply protected. But
future mischief must he guarded
against by keeping the party in power
in congress that favors every western
interest, not one directly opposed.
Mr.. Meadow, out OF contempt for his
party's platform, has constructed
one for himself, but it is only blind
to catch votes. Mr.. Meadow repre-
sents a free trade party and is in favor
of free wool. Mr.. Baylies represents
a party that protects the woolgrower,
the miner, the laborer, the artisan
and the farmer. He is entitled TO
your vote.

Mr.. p. W. Meadow, candidate for
state senator on the Democratic ticket,
has a three column letter in last week $
Republican. In this letter Mr.. Meadow
poses as the champion of the farmers
He would be their Moses to lead them
into o land Of sunshine and plenty.
In three column article he has not
one good word to say for the party
that placed him in nomination, not
even mentioning its name. Ashamed
of its record on silver and its hostility
to western interests he discreetly re-
frains from sounding its praise. With
view of catching votes, he adroitly
wedges in between the two parties and
constructs a platform for himself that
is as unique as it is frail. 1t is con-
glomeration of platitudes intended to
catch the unwary. He attempts to
prove that the tariff is burdensome
tax upon the people, a proposition
that was exploded in the last National
campaing when his free trade party
went down in ignominious defeat.
M. Meadow devotes the greater
portion of his letter to the farming in
dustry and attempts to prove that the
present depression in agriculture is
due to a protective taft. Admitting
that the agriculturist has not received
the specific benefits that other callings
may have enjoyed yet the indirect bene-
fits have been great and the results
marvellous. The planting Of manufac
tories in the west have opened up a
home market for the products Of the
soil and built mp towns and cities. To-
day the value Of manufactured articles
in Ohio is greater than the agricultural
products. Have not these home indus
tries benefited the farmer? Break
them down and see what will become
Of the agriculturist. Drouth, failing
crops i'm some sections and over-pro-
duction in others are among the causes
Of agricultural depression. And this
depression has been greatly exagger-
ated. Farm mortgages have been lied
about for political effect. II has been

fact it will not exceed S71,UD,WU.

Fergus County argus., 1890-10-02
Articles.
GROCERIES.

What the farmer needs is more pro-
lection for his products and this the
Mckinley bill will give him on nearly
everything he raises. A carefully pre-
pared table Of the cost Of farm imple-
ments from 1850 to 1889 shows that
the farmers now pay less than 30 per
cent. Of the former price for such
articles, and a table giving prices
of household utensils in 1850 and in
1850 show almost an equal percentage
Of reduction. Yet the demagOgue will
tell you that the tariff is robbery.
Free trade England has trusts rs well
rs the United States, hence they are
not the outgrowth of protection. As
to the past monetary policy Of the
government, the people are well in
formed and will have little use for q
man who breaches greenbackism and
reputation at this late date. The
Republican party saved the Union
from destruction and the credit Of the
nation afterward Notwithstanding DEM
ocratic hostility, and is proud Of the
record.
MIR. Meadow bewails trusts, monopo-
lies, corporations, land tenantry, alien
ownership Of land, etc. What did the
Democratic party do to check these
evils when they had the Presidency and
the lower house. II was left for Re
publican congress to grapple with these
questions, and like all matters affect
ing the welfare of the people they will
be fearlessly met and solved, so far as
it is within the power Of legislation to
do it.
What did Mr.. Meadows party do
for the farmer when it had chance?
II tried to pass the Mills bill which
would have brought ruin to America,
and passed the Bland silver bill, under
which law and the hostility Of Grover
Cleveland, silver dropped from $l.0.5
to 9l.2I. II farm products are regula-
ted by the price Of silver, as some con-
tend and rs now seems apparent, what
u bitter enemy Of the farmer WAS
Grover Cleveland and his party. The
party Mr.. Meadow is ashamed to rec
ognize.
II was left for the Republican party,
despite Of eastern hostility, to pass
measure that increased the annual
circulation Of money to over $GO,OO.-
900, sent the price Of silver mp to
sl.l9s, and greatly enhanced the value
Of all products If the farm.
Farmers, be not deceived by honied
words or appeals to prejudice. Mr..
Meadow represents a party that is
hostile to the best interests Of Mon
tana. II would break down the bar
riers Of protection and admit free
into Montana the wheat and other
cereals from the Canadian government.
What you need to become prosperous
the Democratic party cannot give you.
Plenty Of water and u good market
is all you want not tafIy or mock
sympathy. II is easy to criticize and
find fault. The man or party who goes
ahead and does something is entitled to
respect and consideration. The Reprb-
lican party is party Of deeds, Of great
achievements. II has stood by the
weak and oppressed in the past and
can be relied upon to do so in the
future.
