M'KINLEY TO FARMERS.

In speaking to ONO farmers recently
among other things, Major Mckinley
said:
agriculture pays under our tariff
system. Cardinal Manning said last
December that revenue tariff destroyed
agricultural interests in England. l
am talking TO farmers today. When
your crops are garnered you want
buyers Tor your surplus. What you
need are purchasers for your wheat.
Where do you find them but in the
workshops and factories which have
been built up by the system OF protec-
tion? What builds the factory? 1t is
against the foreign market. Suppose
you break down the factory, what
would become OF the people? They
would at once turn their attention to
farming, for they must live; they would
be your competitors instead of your
buyers. They would produce their
bread instead OF purchasing it. The
tariff system was established by Wash
ington and the people who lived at
that time. They said, we are all
farmers, and we want somebody to
buy our products. The foreign work
man buys S1. 20 per year from you;
the American buys 800. Now which
one will you support-the home work
ers or the foreigners
1t is fallacious to contend that pro-
lection does not benefit the farmers.
even though they be remote from the
manufacturing centers. By protection
the great hives OF industry have been
extended far beyond the Mississippi
river, giving to thousands
OF hands and creating demand upon
the products of the soil. The great
hnlll of the bread-stufi of the western
prairies find a market in the manufac-
turing centerS OF the eastern and
middle states. The protection given
manufacturing enterprises has done
great deaf to neutralize the effects OF
rapid immigration to this country.
Men come here from every CLINE to
better their condition. The great ma
iority are Siited and scattered through
the manufacturing districts OF the
east to become consumers. Suppose
they find our factories and workshops
idle. They would not turn back.
They would Join the idle class that
infest our great cities or press on to
obtain the cheap lands OF the west,
thinking, as is too often the case, that
farming is the easiest way to make a
living. Would this help the situation
any? Ii there is an reproduction
OF breadstuff now what would there
be then? If we discourage manufac-
turing we must also discourage immi-
grafton. Hungry men with money to
buy food is what helps the farmer.
Nothing but a system that builds up
and sustains American industries can
benefit them.

The board OF stock commissioners
were in session i'll Helena last week,
and among other things listened to
complaints against the operation OF
the estray law. As might lac expected,
when thoroughly sifted, there were no
good grounds for complaint against the
law as a whole. 1t is quite likely that
a few may have been Inconvenience,
while others may have been compelled
to surrender horses that they had come
to regard as their own because no sys
tematized plan had ever been inaugu-
rated for the recovery of estrays. We
have yet to hear of a complaint against
the law in this county, while there are
more than a dozen instances where
parties have recovered horses that
were given up as lost. Legislators re-
garded il as difficult thing to con-
struct a law that would give satisfac-
ton. and if the present law is not per
feet in every respect it will not be
surprising. After test it can be
pruned and amended as. the necessities
dictate. but that it has already proven

value to settlers there can be no ques'

Mr.. Cleveland wanted the coinage of
silver stopped when the government
was coming only $1,000, 900 per month,
and would probably have demonitized
it altogether if he could have had his
way. Under the present Republican
administration, however, "a, SOC, 900 is
being coined monthly, or an amount
about equal to the product of American
mines. 1t is not very difficult to see
which party has been the true friend
of silver. What the Republican party
does is on safe lines of finance. The
welfare of the whole country must first
be considered in preference to any Sec
ton or any special interest. 1t looks
now as though eastern Democrats
would place Cleveland in nomination
for the presidency, and if Democrats
of the West and South will not endorse
him they can take to the woods or join
| the Alliance party.

sumo operations In a few days.
Cowan and Stephens are running tun-
mel on the Nellie Bly, property.

DIR. d. r. DAILY, that genial knight of the
forceps, of Lewistown, was visiting DIR.
Denner at the Spotted Horse last Sunday
day from an extended trip through Neihart
and Copperopolis. He was accompanied
by Mr.. Geo. Hopkins. a practical mining
man from Neihart, but formerly OF the
West Gallatin.
Mr.. C. f. Abbott was unfortunate enough
to lose a couple Of COWS by lightning one
day last week. The electric elements seem
to have a grudge against Mr.. Abbott, as
this makes four he has lost this season by
the same process.
MIR. George Mcclure. Of the North Moces-
sin, was in town purchasing supplies last
Sunday and Monday. Mac is working on
the Columbia lode. He had to abandon
his placers on account OF the scarcity oi
water. The gold harvest in the Moceasin
district this season was beyond the most
sangnine expectation.
Mrs. J. Holzemer and Miss Annie Kane,
oil Lewistown, were visiting the Spotted
Horse last Thursday and Friday. They
also improved the opportunity to make a
short exploration OF our picturesque
mountains, and found several scenes that
they greatly admired. Both these ladies
seemed to admire the artistic ingenuity oi
nature in thus stacking up the everplus ol
the earth's formation, that forms such a
contrast to the bleak prairie. While Mrs.
Holzemer was satisfied with extending her
riosity was not SO easily gratified, and un.
der the guidance OF Mr.. Sager, the genial
mining foreman at the Spotted Horse, she
mounted the bucket and continued her ex.
plorations down into the interior of the
earth through a perpendicular shaft 300
feet. Here she visited the horny handed
miner delving by the dim light of candle
for hidden treasure. and in one drift she
encountered the Burley drills, and was
properly introduced into the mysterious
working of the same; and when she grasped
| the crank and turned on the air the old
machine itself seemed to be proud OF the
| fair operator, and with renewed energies
| increased its efforts to penetrate the stub
| born formation. We predict that Miss
Kane, with her superior theoretical knowl
edge of geology, with a small amount ol
practice would become successful mine
operator.

Meeting of Board of Stock Commissioners.

Independent: The board Of stock COM
missioners was i'm session yesterday nearly
all day. The forenoon was devoted to the
horse estray law, and listening to the re-
ports OF John Prosser, agent for Lewis IL
Clarke county. and Alexander Gibson, agent
for Jefferson county. The former has taken
up about $50 horses, while the latter has
in his possession about 200. The commits
sioners inquired particularly into the cause
OF the complaints that have been lodged
against the enforcement of the law and in
every case il was found that they were
either based upon rumors which had no
foundation OF truth or came from persons
who had an evil motive in casting discredit
upon the measure. 1t was decided that the
law so far had proved to be beneficial, and
while in some respects it might be changed
for the better, yet it's operation as a whole
had been beneficial. 1t was decided that
no more estrays will be gathered this year,
and that hereafter they will be collected
annually. Stock inspectors were author
ICED to prosecute any one who were found
working estray horses. 1t was found that
a number OF people who have estray horses
were using them, some OF them refusing
to surrender them to the agents. 1t is to
reach that class that the resolution was
passed.
Those present yesterday were: President
Alfred Myers, Secretary Preuitt, Commits
sioners Joseph Scott OF Custer, Brook OF
Jefferson, Bielenberg OF Deer Lodge, Chap
man OF Silver Bow, and Hobson OF Fergus.
State Veterinarian Holloway also attended
the session.

their wrongs. Without money, and
but indiflerently armed, the insurgents,
or congreSSionalists as they are called,
have waged unequal war against the
forces of President Balmaceda with
varying success, until the 9th and

ment took place between the entire
forces of both sides, in which Balma-
ceda was badly defeated, Valparaiso,
the capital city, falling into the hands
of the congressionalists. This virtually
ends the war, and insures republican
form of government for Chill. If one
half the charges made against Balma-
ceda are true the people of that coun-
try are to be congratulated over the
change Of administration, even though
gained at so terrible a cost. 1t speaks
well for the victors that the government
leaders are not to be imprisoned or ex-
lied, but simply deposed from office
and given an opportunity of becoming
law w-ahiding citizens under the new
regime.
