How It VIII AAset the 1svsnass.

In accordance with its pledge the
Republican party has passed what il
called the Mckinley bill, a comparison
of which with the Mills bill reveals at
once the economic difference between
the two parties. The Republican bill
places a duty on wool, the Demo.
cratic bill places wool on the free-list.
The Republican bill places protect
i've duty On all animals. vegetables,
barley, hemp, tobacco, flax, and all
products Of the soil; upon cotton
goods, woolen goods, crockery, glass
ware, iron, steel, hardware, and cut
lory. The Democratic bill places vege-
tables on the free list, leaves but q
revenue duty on all animals, on
barley, and tobacco; moves toward a
revenue duty on cOttOns, woolens,
crOckery, glassware, iron, steel, hard
ware, and cutlery. The Republican
bill places sugar on the free-list; the
Democratic bill places the duty on
sugar at 65 per cent. 1t will be seen
that these measures are most marvel
Ously unlike. 1t is not accident or
chance. 1t is because one bill favors
the protection Of American agricul-
ture, manufactures, and labor, and
the other bill opposes this policy.

EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS.

The miners of Montana will not forget
that every democratic representative and
senator in congress voted against the lead
schedule in the Mckinley bill and in favor
Of amendments reducing the duty from $40
to Sl5 per ton, which would flood the
American market with foreign lead and
reduce American miners wages to the
Mexican level.-Inter Mountain.
The miners who last year were leasing
mines and selling the silver product Of
them f"r ?2 cents AN ounce and who are
now getting Sl.l5 per ounce, are not going
to vote for William Writ Dixon because he
is II nice man, but they will vote for Tom
Carter who assisted very materially in
passing the silver bill which has added 23
cents an ounce to the value of all the
silver they produce. That is practical
politics and common sense and self inter

For the Wool Growers.

The wool growers, the thousands of
men who derive employment at good
wages from the industry, and the mer-
chants who supply these men will
hardly appreciate the plank in the
Democratic platform that calls for IL
reduction of the tariff on wool. The
price of wool has in the past twenty
five years been as sensitive to the fuc-
tuations OF the tariff as a thermom-
eter is to heat and cold. The history
of the staple is replete with illustra-
tiOns OF the fact that "a low tariff let's
loose a flood OF cheap wool upon the
American market, attended by a sub
seQuent decentralization OF the home
industry. The recent delay in the
passage of the tariff measure has had
a depressing effect upon the market
this season, and in combination with
other causes has produced a low and
slow wool market. The most expert
wool buyers in the east anticipate n
lively rise i'm the price as soon as the
enormous amount OF wool imported

has been with the word manufacture. y
The House committee on public lands
Is willing, and has been willing from
the first, to consent to granting per-
mission to citizens in the Rocky Noun
tain states to cut timber for mining
and domestic purposes, but they fear
that permission to cut timber for
manufacturing purposes would result
in denuding the hills OF all vegitation
ultimately. At least that is the way
that Holman, Payson and other old
members look at it. Congressman
Carter has been trying all winter to
get them to understand the i'm
portance of this matter, but they
wouldn't. The senate however, is an
easier body to move, and Senator
Sanders got in the amendment over
there. The House conferees were
bound to face the music, and Mr.
Carter has been after them daily,
urging concurrence in the senate
amendment. Ii seems now as though
he will succeed. The people OF Mon
tana will please make note OF the fact
that Delegate Maginnis and Delegate
ToOle, during all their terms in con-
gress, were unable to cause a ripple Oh
this subject. Men have needed timber
for huts and for fuel, but have been
forbidden to cut even an armful OF
wood, although during the following
August of each year they have seen
the fires raging for miles in those same
forests. The pending bill was drawn
jointly by Congressman Carter, OF
Montana, and Hansbrough, Of North

Washington special to the Helena

Sanders in the senate seems to be
attracting some attention. The New
York sun says this morning editori-
ally: "The vigilant senator from
Montana made speech on Tuesday
on the bill repeating the timber cultu
act, which contained a descriptive
passage good enough to be quoted
entire in this place" 1t then quotes
quite literally from his speech, in
which it described the growth OF timber
from the Mississippi river to the Pa
ciiic ocean; in which he referred to the
treeless plains and the mountains with
scraggy growth that Is unfit for COM
mercial purposes, the increasing guam
tity in the Rocky mountains, and
closing with the following: "Goine
across the Rocky mountains, and
going a hundred miles beyond, you
come to the forests that were described
by Bryant 'as the continuous woods,
where rolls the Oregon, and hears

And going hundred miles further you
are in the midst of forests, where the
sun seldom sees the ground beneath
the trees, where they stand thick as IL
possible for trees to stand" After
the above quotation from the speech
