lands policy, if adopted, would have
vastly increased this balance of trade

not adopted. The Republican party
revised the tariff with two exclusive
objects in view ~, to protect every
American industry against undue for
eign competition and (2) to decrease
the annual revenues collected at the
custom houses. What has been the
result? Lower average tariff duties
than ever before, larger free on-com
petitive imports than ever before,
larger exports than ever before. The
exact figures for 1891 are: Imports,

CONGRESS
At Last Takes Action.

A bill has been introduced at Washing
ton requiring all baking powders contain
ing alum and ammonia to be SO labeled.
This is a step in the right direction, and
has been long ioreshadowed by the action
OF state legislatures, boards of health, food
commissioners, ETC., in this matter. The
bill aifosds needed protection to the pub
lie, for the evidence as to the injurious ef-
fects of alum and ammonia is very heavy;
but it will nevertheless be fought bitterly
by the manufacturer whom it affects who
are accustomed to sell their goods as pure
cream of tartar" absolutely pure" etc.
The bill is something needed. II a maker
uses a drug in his powder, the name of
which he does not want to nave printed on
his label, it is prima facie evidence that
there is something wrong. We hope tho
sabject will be vigorously prosecuted all
over the country, not only as regards bak-
ing powder, but also all other food adul-
terations.
This bill may incidentally benefit the
makers OF pure articles, but if it should
this is only al additional point in it's favor.

1t is learned here from a high railroad
authority that the Great Northern
company has decided to change its
main line near Fort Benton in order
avoid the heavy grade OF Teton hill.
This change will leave Benton four
miles from the road, as the station
will be built on the Teton river. The
proposed line will continue up the Te-
ton from Eight Mile coulee and join
the present line at a point about three
miles east OF the old Bulls Head sta
ton. The change will give a maximum
grade of one foot in ~1OOinstead OF the
present high grade OF two feet and two
inches and will effect the saving OF a
heavy expense, S doublingup will not
be necessary. Work on the contem-
plated change will next

The sixth annual report of the board of

and is very comprehensive and volumi.
nous. Missoula and Gallatin counties are
not yet working under the stock inspection
law in conjunction with the remaining
counties in the state. During the past year
stock has been unusually free from disease,
and their condition has been generally fine.
The figures compiled by Secretary W. 7.
Preuitt give an excellent idea of the extent
of the cattle raising industry in Montana.
In 1891, 225,O head OF cattle were ship.
ped, including 1916 head of strays, while
$4,000 head were slaughtered in the state.
From the sale of strays the sum of 81 $50
has been received by the secretary and
paid over to the owners OF he strays. The
extraordinary shipment of cattle to Chi
cago during the ear combined with the
custom of many shippers in shipping strays
with their own cattle, has made the task oil

The law passed by the last legislature in
regard to the gathering together and dis
posing OF stray horses is regarded as "a very
good measure, and has been the means Of
clearing the ranges Of many undesirable
animals. Some dissatisfaction has been
caused by reason of the employment Of
green and incompetent agents to enforce
the law, but it will undoubtedly be finally
recognized as a very beneficial measure.
The report sets forth the financial condi-
ton OF the board, which is much better
than a year ago, and in fact in excellent
condition. The present excellent system
under which the operations of the board
are carried on is the outgrowth of years of
experience, but much more could and will
be accomplished in the next few years.

Says Justice, Bateman & Co., in their
last wool circular: 'The entire decline
in XX Ohio wool during the two years
since January LIST, 1890, has been less
than 10 per cent, while the decline has
been over y per cent. during this same
period in COS Botany Tops, which are
made from a similar grade of foreign
wool. While these low prices for wool
prevail abroad, we canno escape the
reflection that without the Mckinley
bill the American wool and wooden
industry would have been carried to the
depths of the depression o existing
in all of the other wooden manufactur-
ing markets outside Of the United
States, while the activity among Ameri-

American lockmasters will appreci-
ate Mr.. Springsr's purpose in project
ing a free wool agitation. The New
York World OF January 4th quotes
him as follows: al amfully convinced
that a great injustice would be worked
should a bill be passed placing wool
on the free list without reducing the
tariff on wooden goods. The effect
would be to increase the profit to the
manufacturer while reducing the price
realized by the sheep growers" Let
farmers mark his words. He is about
to frame a measure which, whatever
else it designs to be, aims at reducing
the price realized by sheep growers"

Now these editors are finding fault be-
cause wool has dropped in value in
stead of raised. While they ale poor
prophets and philosophers, there is no
discount on their ability and capacity
for lying. The price of Montana wool
has not dropped three cents a pound
since the Mckinley bill became a law.
This law has nothing to do with the
worlds supply of wool. 1t aims only
to protect our growers from equal COM
petition with the product of the semi
barbarous countries. Were it not for
the tariff the prices for Montana wool
would range much lower than they do
now, with the immense amount of
wool grown last season throughout the
world. The organ of the millionaires
will find it hard work to make wool
growers believe they have not been
benefited by the Mckinley bill. Even

The contest for the permanent CAPT
tai of Montana will probably become
quite warm before many months have
passed. At present Helena, Bozeman
and Great Falls are the chiefcontestants.
Butte and other west side towns will
cut ne figure in the contest as candi-
dates, though their votes and influence
will be great in determining the choice.
Butte would naturally favor Bozeman
before it would Helena, but the latter
place should be able to count on a ma
jority of votes from Missoula and Deer
Lodge counties. If Bozeman were
supported by Silver Bow, Gallatin,
Park, Yellowstone, Custer and Dawson
counties it would have quite a formid-
able showing when the votes were
counted. Meagher county will be di-
vided in its choice undoubtedly, and
will give votes to all three cities.
While Great Falls is a natural outlet
for Fergus county it will not have the
unanimous vote of our people for the
honor. Many think Helena is the
proper place for the capital, consider
ing the geographical question and con-
venience to the people of the whole
state. There is no question, however,
but Great Falls will be the leading city
of the state ten years hence, whether
it has the capital or not. The cid
fogies of Helena are a drawback to the
city, and unless they wake up and get
a move on themselves the Falls will
leave it far in the shade in a very few
years. The developments and fight
for the capital will be worth watching.

THE DEMAGoGUE REBUKEp.

The Manufactui err, in a recent issue,
shows up the inconsistency of Springer
and his piratical crew in the following
trenchant manner:
Mr.. Springer's heart aches this year for
the poor farmer who is compelled by the
operation of the infamous tariff to accept
low prices for his wool. Last year the
bosom OF Mr.. Springer heaved with emo
ton as he considered the positive promise
OF suffering to the unfortunate consumer
because the taIiff proposed to advance the
prices OF wool. Whether tariff works one
way or another, Mr.. Springer aud his
friends are determined to make a high aver
age for themselves in the matter OF endur-
ing anguish. Only one short year ago they
were engaged in proving to "A nation which
listened with feelings Of greater or less con
%sternation that, before Christmas 1881
everybody but bloated bono holders and
robber barons would fluid WOODEN clothing
clear ont of reach, while shiyering millions
would GO about dressed in cotton and
shoddy. Wool having fallen in price and
the imports of shoddy almost wholly
ceased, Springer proposes to advance the
price for II c benefit Of the impoverished
woolgrower, by putting WOO on the free
list and take the duty off of shoddy for the
benefit OF the unfortunate British manu-
facturers of that same article. There are
two curious things about the change Of the
free trade tune: ont is that Il man pre-
serving any elements of self respect should
have the impudent audacity to complain
today because the tariff has produced pre-
cisely the result to get which he demanded
free trade, and the other is that there
should be multitudes OF Americans h
are unable to learn from the facts relating
to wool prices that the entire case Tor the
free traders is a mere fabric of lies.
