The people of this state will be asked
to support a party which makes u di-
rect assault upon chief industries
before congress is a month old. Be-
sides S~pringer's FREE wool bill, Con-
gresham Enloe of Tennessee has intro
duced a bill amending the tariff law SO
as to provide that lead pres and lead
dross shall pay a duty of three-fourths
of a cent per pound, provided, that
ores containing silver and lead, in
which the silver is of greater value,
shall be considered silver ores and be
admitted free of duty. Our readers
will remember how valiantly Congress
man Carter fought to retain the present
duty on lead. The question now is,
what will Dixon do when this bill
comes before the house. He probably
will feel like taking a lunch in the base
ment of the capitol about that time.

APOLOGIZE Or G
A Show Down In the Gillian Controversy
Expected Very Soon.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-The Inter-Oeean
will print this morning a Washington
special asserting that the crisis in
Gillian matters is rapidly approach
ing. Yesterday it says, an ultimatum
was sent to the CHILEAN government
through Minister Egan. The dispatch
was signed by Secretary Blaine. 1t
was of a peremptory character and di-
rected Egan to demand categorically
of the CHILEAN government an immedi-
ate answer to the request already
made. The purpose of it is to inform
the Gillian government that the United
States must have an answer at once
to its demand for reparation and
apology. The presidents message is
to be sent to congress Monday, what
ever may be the answe from Egan.
An immense mass of correspondence
will be sent with the message, but it
will not be necessary for the people to
read it to arrive al an understanding
OF the matter. That can be learned
from President Harrison's message,
which will be about three newspaper
columns in length, and will compactly
state the American case. The presi-
dent will not delay six months or six
weeks more for the Chilians. There
will be no more delay. Unless he and
the cabinet are much mistaken, the
next few hours will determine whether
there will be peace or war.

If the turnout of Republicans last
Saturday evening for the purpose Of
taking steps toward forming a club is
indicative of the enthusiasm and inter-

no question as TO how Montana will
vote next November. Never before in
the history of Lewistown was there
such a representation of earnest, think
ing men of every avocation. Further
more there was the utmost harmony
in the proceedings. Another meeting
will be held Saturday evening to per
feet the organization of the club.
Every Republican, as well as those who
have affiliated with other parties, are
invited TO join the club, and work for

MoNrANA,s SOURCES OF WEALTH.

According to a showing made in the
Helena Independent recently the ont
put in wealth from range industries
last year was S14, 800, 900, divided as
follows: Cattle, 100000 horses,
81 100000; sheep, 81, 100000; wool, 3d.
100000. In the output of mineral the
value is placed at $40, 694, 600, making
IA grand total of SO. l94,60O. In min
eral production Montana leads the
country, exceeding Colorado, the next
largest, by 81, 100000. The mineral
output is indeed remarkable, when it
is considered that the great Anaconda
works we're closed down the greater
portion of the year. The showing is
magnificent for a new state, and there
is every reason to believe that it will
be duplicated or excelled the present
year.

NOT VERY ~FLATTERING.

A recent issue of the Inter Mountain
contained an interview with Mr.. Hosea
Fisher, in which hat gentleman is
quoted as drawing the following SON.
Der picture of Fergus county:
Hosea Fisher, a prominent w~oolgrower
OF Fergus county, is visiting Butte. He re-
ports that the past year has been a very
prosperous one for the stockmen in that
section. The wool shipments from Aiming,
ton were about 1000, 900 pounds, and
from Fergus about /, 700, 900 pounds. The
prices obtained from the wool were from IL
to 10 cents per pound. Fergus county il
the most remote portion of Montana and
is the only county in the state without
railroad communication. The stage lines
are still the only means of transportation,
and Lewistown, the county seat, is prob
ably the most remote town from a railroad
OF any city in the union.
Mr.. Fisher SAYS that woolgrowing and
horse raising are the principal industries o.
Fergus county. Thu cattle industry has
taken "a back seat. During the year over
30, 900 head of ca tile were driven out to
range in the Bear Paw mountains. He
says Fergus is ~depopulating rather than
growing in population. At one time last
year there were twenty-eight school chill.
The trouble, Mr.. Fisher says, is that large
tracts OF land are coming into possession
Of a few. They are buying the small farm
ers and stock growers out. This latter
class became discouraged during the two
dry seasons, and lost all they had. The
past year, however, was one of unusual
prosperity.
Mr.. Fisher says that the Wolf creek and
Running Wolf districts are coming into
prominence as mining districts and that
considerable ore has been shipped from
there to Great Falls during the past six
months. He says that Fergus county is
for Great Falls for the capital.
In the above interview Mr.. Fisher
wa. no doubt misunderstood or mis-
quoted in some particulars. The
range cattle industry proper has been
on the decline for several years, it is
true, but small owners, those engaged
in farming, are supalanting the range
men, and in a few years the number OF
head will reach a high fgure-perhaps
| equal that of the range industry in its
best days. There were at one time
| time over 100000 head of cattle in the
boundaries of Fergus county. The
assessment of 1889 shows the industry
to have reached the minimum point
when 52,663 head were reported. In
1890 the number vas 66,171, and in
1891 the number given in was 62,316
1t will be noticed that last year is the
year in which Mr.. Fisher is quoted a.

Three thousand range steers from
Montana, the Dakotas and Wyoming
were exported alive from Chicago dur
ing 1891. This is a good showing when
we reflect that these cattle went direct
from the gazing fields of the northwest,
never having eaten grain of any kind.
The grasses of the arid region make a
quality of beef that can only be sur
passed by the highest feeding in the
east. This is what the northern ranges
could do every year if proper atten-
ton was paid to the handling of the
beef portion of the herds. And in this
quality of cattle is where the money is.

saying hat 5000 head were driven
out of the county, yet the falling Of
from the year before was less than
1900 head. As a correct assessment
of cattle is difficult to get, it is safe to
say that there are 5000 head in the
county, with good prospects for more
being driven in the coming spring. So
it will be seer that Fergus county is
something of a cattle county yet, prob
ably standing third among the counties
of the state.
Fergus county is not depopulating.
Its growth is gradual and healthy.
True, there may be certain localities
where settlers have sold out, as Mr..
Fisher says, but some have moved
to other parts of the county, and ever
if this were not SO, the growth in other
sections where the settlement is per-
manent more han makes up the loss.
The reference to school children is
misleading. Mr.. Fisher doubtless had
reference to one school district on
upper Wolf creek. There are over SOC
school children in the county, and the
number is growing rapidly.
As to ranchmen becoming discour-
aged and selling out on account of the
drouth, this may be true in certain To-
c~alities where water was scarce, but as
a whole our ranchmen passed through
the ordeal in much better shape than
was expected, and are rapidly recover
ing from the injury inflicted by the
drouth. In fact Fergus county is now
in excellent condition, and all her in
dustries are fiourishing. As regards
the choice of our people for the state
capital nothing definite is known.
Helena, Bozeman and Great Falls all
have friends and advocates.

"One-half the tariff burden will be
lifted from the shoulders of the peo-
pie" said Chairman Springer, of the
ways and means committee, in his
New York speech, ''by placing wool on
the free list" Yet this buzzard-headed
statesman should know that clothing is
cheaper now than ever before in the
history of the nation. To take the
tariff off from wool and leave it on
wooden goods only means a greater
profit for the manufacturer. The bou.
quet statesman is fishing for the votes
of the manufacturing states.
