THE American Sugar Refining COM
pany known as the great sugar trust
for whose benefit the Mckinley sugar
schedule was arranged-have recently
declared semi annual dividend of 311s
per cent on the preferred and 4 per cent
on the common shares of the company.
AS stockholders hold S25,OOO,OOO of pre-
ferred and $2J,OOOOOO common stock the
annual dividends they receive amount to
s3,75O,OOO. This sum represents only a
part of the profits of this great sugar
trust which profits are paid by the con
sumers of the article. 1t is well enough
to keep these little matters before the

The River Press estimates the average
price of Montana fleece this year at eigh-
teen cents before shipment. When the
Mills bill hung like shadow over the

ing destruction to the entire sheep in

considered high price and Oregon and
Washington wool went begging at twelve
cents.-Inter Mountain.
Avast there, Col. Read! Stick to facts
if they knock the Mckinley wool sched-
ule higher than Gilroys kite. The facts
are these: "When the Mills bill hung
like a shadow over the land" wool
brought more in Montana than it has
any time since. The ruling price for
wool at Fort Benton, Great Falls and
Billings at that time was twenty-one
cents, extra clips being sold two or three
points higher. Today, with the McKin-
ley bill hanging like the pail of death
over the wool industry of the land, there
is no market for wool in Montana at any
price. Stick to facts, Col. Read, stick to

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
A MOUNTAIN OF IRON.
SATURDAY. "a. 1891.

The people of northern Montana arr
becoming accustomed to surprises and i
is questionable whether the discovery OF
veritable "brass" or German silver
mine would startle them out of theil
usual evenness of temper. The finding
and development of immense coal fields
the discovering and unearthing of vast
treasures of wealth in the Neihart and
Barker districts; the opening up of q
marble quarry four miles long by three
fourths of a mile wide, and the vel
known mining possibilities of the Sweet
Grass hills and the Bear Paw and Little
Rocky mountains have all united in pre-
pairing the people of this favored section
for any report which may be made in re
gard to metal discoveries. Therefore the
report that Mr.. Ralston, of Choteau, had
discovered mountain of iron near that
place was received as matter of course;
no one disputing it and every one be-
leving that the limit of the mineral dis
coveries in Northern Montana has not
yet been reached.
According to the Montanian this iron
mine. or rather mountain of iron, con-
tains an excellent quality of ore, one old
ironminer declaring it was "the largest
and richest deposit he had ever seen in
his travels" Hundreds of locations
have been made and about all the visi
BILE ore has been filed upon. 1t is great
mine without doubt probably the great
est iron deposit in the world. But it is
nothing more than what was expected by
those who have intclligently estimated
the magnificent resources of northern
Montana. 1t is only in harmony with
the immense precious ore deposits; the
unparalleled marble quarry and the in
finite water power of this great northern
country. An all-wise Providence had "a
purpose in view when he fashioned a
succession of adamantine barriers across
the Missouri river at this place and thus
handed over to man the key which would
Unlock the fabulous wealth contained in
the great deposits named. And those
deposits are commensurate in extent and
magnitude with the means of working
their products into marketable form.
Herein lies the harmony of nature great
works in northern Montana. OF what
avail would be this immcasurable water
power if it had nothing upon which to
exert its strength? In the discovery of
this mountain of iron we see something
worthy of its steel-no pun intended.
Everything in harmony. Immense gold
and silver mines: immense coal meas
ures; immense marble quarries; i'm
m"nse iron mines: an immense water
power to turn them into money, and an
immense people who will see it shall be
done. Great is northern Montana.

The new tariff on tin plate will go in
to effect July 1st. After that date he
duty on tin plate will be raised from one
cent pound to ID cents per pound
In view of this fact it becomes pertinent
to inquire where those American tin
plate manufacturers are who would be
in a position to supply practically the
home demand for the article after the
above date. This country imports an
nually 100000 tons of tin plate from
Wales, the value of which is not far from
S22,OOO,OOO. That seven tons shipped
from Temescal to San Francisco the
other day, the first mined in the country,
is the nearest approach to furnishing our
own tin for domestic purposes yet made.
These facts and figures may help some
one to answer the question: Where are
those manufacturers which are to supply
this country with tin plate after July l.,

HE UNDERSTOOD FRENCH.

A tall, well-built young man
lounged into the Colonnade barber
shop, a day or two ago, closely fol-
lowed by a sleek, intelligent Italian
greyhound. The man took his place
in a chair and the dog quietly re-
clined on the floor near by. The bar
Der stopped to pat the graceful crea-
ture and jocularly said: 9TH tap
av tn mahrnin' to yez, Rover"
The dog cooked his ears and looked
inquiringly at his master. The latter
observed:
''Ze doggie do not speak Angles.
He's Parisian." Then he looked
at his pet and continued, Bon jour,
Baptist"
The greyhound whacked his tail
upon the floor very enthusiastically,
and replied to his masters saluta-
ton by low gurgle of satisfaction.
"Can he do any tricks?" asked the
barber, pausing in his work.
"Certainly," replied the young
Frenchman, still speaking in broken
English Tell him to roll over"
The barber did so, but the dog
merely remained quiet, and a wor-
ried, anxious expression spread over
his face. Then his master repeated
the command in French, and the
graceful pet, with a short bark of
pleasure, at once rolled over and
over.
The barber told him to sit up, to
shake hands, etc, but doggie could
not understand until his owner re-
peated the suggestions in his native
tongue.
AS both left the shop the barber
shook his head doubtfullv. "Next,"
he called out, and then added in an
undertone, Its meself must go to

WORTH REMEMBERING.

A woman's glory is her gown.
Endeavor to think high thoughts,
pure and good.
The hardest headed man was born
with soft spot.
The ugly temper of a pretty wom-
an always shows through.
1t is gentle manners which proves
so irresistible ia women
Never say what you think until
you have thought it several times.
It's astonishing how soon the
whole conscience begins to ravel if a
single stitch is dropped.
The sudden death Of friend of his
own age has a greater effect on a
man than 1000 sermons.
Happiness is a perfume you cannot
pour on others without getting a
few drops of it yourself.
Patience is the ballast of the soul
that will keep it from rolling and
tu1nbling in greatest storm.
There are two states or conditions
of pride. The first is one of self ap-
proval; the second, one of self con-
tempt. Pride is seen probably at its
purest in the last.

challenged me to exercise my art
and make the mirror whole again,
never dreaming that his challenge
was the very cue 1 wanted, and not

to be covered with a cloth entirely
concealing it from view. On the re-

ONE OF HERRMANN,S GREAT
TRICKS.

People have repeatedly asked me
which of my tricks have pleased me
the most, and which l take the most
delight in performing. Naturally
the effort that brings the greatest
success is regarded by a man his
best. consider the trick of restor-
ing the shattered mirror as my most
famous one. This 1 had the honor
Of performing before the Gar of
Russia upon an invitation to give an
exhibition at his court. 1t was done
unexpectedly to the spectators, and
was down on the regular bill. While
playing billiards with the attaches
of the court after the performance,
the Gar being present in the saloon,
/ shot a ball with all my strength
against a plate-glass mirror extend
ing from floor to ceiling. 1t was
shivered into fifty pieces. Conster-
nation was depicted on every coun-
tenance; on none more plainly than
my own. While the Gar courteous
~ waived my apology, considering
the destruction of the mirror as
trifling, and ordered the game to
proceed, l could easily see that my
supposed awkwardness made a dis
agreeble impression. With the Gar

SOCIAL DISTINCTIONS IN AMERICA.

1t is no merit of our American life
that whatever may be the differences
of wealth or of training, there is no
such sense of rem oteness or of class
distinction as exists in other coun-
tries In the village church-yard we
repeat Gray's "Elegy' with differ
ence the short but simple annals of
the poor come nearer to us and be-
long to u.s. There is no peasantry in
township of landed proprietors !;
and the tranquil selfrespect shown
by the veriest rustic has its founda-
ton more of good manners than any
cringing Difference can display.
Lowell says that it is worth some
thing to an English duke to have no
social superior, it is surely worth
something to an American farmer.
Mortgages and great tenant farms
may in time impair this manly at
titude, but they have not yet serious
" damaged it. Yet it must always
be remembered that the tendency is
everywhere away from farms and in
to towns, where the fornat ton of
class feeling is easier, and is indeed
in factory towns, at least-almost
inevitable But whatever social
changes the future may bring, the
fact certainly is that the test of the
nations condition must be found in
the many, not in the few.-[T w. H,

SOME HINTS TO MOTHERS.

| 1t becomes mothers, from the mo-
ment that their children begin to eat
| solid food, to see that they have
meat, vegetables and milk, eggs,
fruit, bread, and porridges of the un-
bolted grains, and as little pastry,
fine flour bread. and confectionery as
possible, in order that they may at
once begin secreting the material for
sound second teeth, which come
under any circumstances, to be sure,
but which under hostile circumstan-
ces go without long waiting on the
order of their going. 1t is equally
necessary to see that the food agrees
with the child for if it is not of a
kind easily digested, then the gases
of its fermentation will rise and in
jure the teeth, and the heated blood
occasioned by indigestion will make
diseases of the gums, also hurtful to
the teeth, and create more sens1bll1ty
in the nerves to pain and to heat
and cold. Alterations of heat and
cold, by-the-way, are quite as bad
for the teeth as indigestible food, the
delicate enamel being obedient, as
every other substance is, to the
laws Vi COull dCllOIi anu CA pethSiOlJ
crushing and splitting under the pro-
cess, and affording opportunity for
the beginning of decay by lodgment
of food, or even by the entrance of
the common air Thus it is hardly a
matter of doubt whether ice water
and ice cream are not of great detri
rnent to the teeth, whether good or
bad for the stomach, and if hot
tea and coffee or even hot water, are
not equally potent for harm.
Nor must the mother, if it can be
helped, allow the first teeth to be
drawn. Real pain that cannot be al
layed-for there was never yet phil
osopher that could endure the
toothache patiently, says Leonato-
is the only thing that should make
her yield on this point; as it is right
that the fangs of the first milk-teeth
should be absorbed in their place,
and not extracted, after which alb
sorption the little crowns will drop
away of themselves. = Harper's

Melville d. Landon in the Minneap-
oils Tribune: "Land is going up all
over the United States. In Kansas it
has advanced 20 per cent; in Michi-
gan, 25 per cent; in Iowa, Is per
cent. The good times are here and
will grow better till the farmer gets

"Are the manufacturing industries
prospering in proportion"
"Yes, everywhere. see new facto-
ries for making silk stockings and un-
derwear at North Wales, Pa, and St.

been transported from Germany.
More sugar refineries are going up in

factories have been started in north
ern Iowa, and you have anot her linen

$50 many plate glass factories have
grown up" continued Mr.. Perkins.
that plate glass which used to sell
for 50 per square foot has dropped to
sixty-five cents. The Chicago, Bur-
lington d Quincy railroad has run a
track 12O miles west OF the Black
Hills into the Wind river country, to
the door OF the Harney's Peak tin
mines, and 500 Cornish miners are
getting out the ore. Next year, with
an average crop of wheat, we will con-
sumo it all. Then, if we can keep the
500, 600, 900 OF gold and silver that
we get out OF the mountains. and
trade our S35O,OOO, 900 worth OF cot
ton for cash and not store pay we
will roll in wealth"
When Eli was asked why they were
not getting out large quantities of tin
from the Harney Peak mines, he said:
"Why, this ore is in the mountain
rocks. They have to get water to it
to clean it after it is stamped fine in
the stamp mills. They have only had
a a tariff on tin plate for 100 days.
1t took five years to get the copper
mines OF Lake Superior in running
order, but when they did get to going
they knocked copper from forty cents
to twelve. i have been to Harney's
Peak, and they have tin mines 15x2O
miles square. saw ore, any quanti-
ties OF it, 80 per cent tin. and Presi-
dent James Wilson told me that when
they get their water rights fixed and
stamp mills in they would knock the
price of block tin from S4Oo per ton
to $500, and in less than 400 days,
and begin saving S35, 100000 a year
to this country. You wait! The low
tariff fellows and free traders are eat
ing crow all over the West, and six
months from now a protective tariff
