A Condition; Not a Theory.

Helena Herald: "We have at our
very doors a demonstration of the ef-
feet of the tariff or wages, that is alb
solutely conclusive. The price at
which wool has been sold on the other
side OF our northern boundary during
the past season is II cents per pound,
and the price on this side 10 cents, at
least the figures approximate the aver
age prices. There herders receive S25
per month and here they receive $40
per month. A few months ago a sheep
raiser whose band is a little north of
our boundary lin the British posses
sions) brought his clip Cust across the
line) to this state for sale. At the line
he was required to pay the duty of
seven cents per pound and he sold here
at the same price that Montana wool
commanded. Now ask that (Canadl-
AM wool grower who paid the tax"
He will tell you that he paidit himself.
But ask the Canadian sheep herder
where the money came from to pay
the tax and he will tell you that it
came out of his wages to the extent OF
SIS or $50 per month. In this con-
nection we wish to call the attention
of every sheep herder in Montana to
this most conclusive object lesson
right in our midst. Will the Montana
sheep herder go to the polls in Novem-
Der and vote for free wool, and vote
himself to the condition of the Cana
dian sheep herder or will he exercise
common sense by keeping on the safe
side, running no chances, and VOTE for
himself and the continuance of his
present prosperity? AMontana sheep
herder, it matters not what his politics
may be, who goes to the polls to vote
for free wool simply goes to the polls
to go back on himself.

Tin Plate Catechism.

How many dollars sent abroad last
year to buy tin plate, sheet tin, etc.
$685. 79.79l
How many pounds of tin plate i'm
ported last year? LOST, 711,5O1l
How many pounds produced in the
United States under one year of the
Mckinley law-from June 80, 1891,
to June 80, 1892? 1866, 7l9l
How many pounds produced before
the passage Of the Mckinley law ?
None! Why? Because OF inadequate
duties to protect the industry.
How many tin plate manufactures
in the United States now? Thirty and
still increasing?
How many eighteen months ago
Nonel
How much capital has been in
vested. More than $4,000, 900?
All this done in one year under the
Mckinley law? Yes.
Is it true that the English mines
supply the home demand? No.
Does England import tin ore? Yes
nearly nine-tenths.
From where? Straits of Malacca,
Java, Banca and Australia.
Can tin ore be laid down in this
country as cheaply as in England 2
Yes. The ocean freight on pig tin
from London to New York is 13 cents
per 100 pounds, which is about the
same as the railroad freight from Lon
don to Wales.
Are there any tin mines in the
United States? Yes; three-in Cali.
fornia, South Dakota and Virginia,
respectively-and vast tin resources
undeveloped.
Will tin plate be cheaper? Yes. In
FIVE years when the industry has
reached its growth, tin pals, buckets,
roofing tin, cans and solder on the
farmers cans will all be cheaper.
Why are wages so low in Wales
Because of the employment of cheap
female labor. There is no such thing
as cheap female labor in America
under a protective tariff!

HE A BLoNDIN.
Clifford calverly's Tight Rope Feat at Nj
agara Falls.

NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y, Oct. -
Special Telegram.-YoungCli Clifford CAL
verify, of Toronto, who was considered
only a few weeks ago to be merely a
rising star in the high rope walkers
armament, to-day established his
claim to the title of champion high
wire walker of the world. Not only
did he cross the fatal Niagara gorge,
but he performed his feats in less time
by several minutes than any one who
had previously attempted the daring
undertaking and gave an exhibition of
marvelousfeats of daring. An assem-
blage OF not less than 10000 people
witnessed his performance. The cable
over which he walked was of steel wire
and th~ree-fourths of ar inch in dame
and was secured in place by ropes
fastened to the bank, and forty bags
of sand, weighing thirty-one pounds
each as ballast. The cable was 90
feet in length, and had a sag OF 25 feet
in the center. 1t was suspended 245
feet above the river between the can
tilever and old suspension railway
bridges at the point known as the
whirlpool rapids, where the water
rushes along at a furious rate.
At ten minutes past 3 o'clock Cal
verify, clad in pink and blue silk tights,
stepped from the Canadian shore onto
the cable. Every sound ceased except
the roar of the water rushing far be-
low and of trains on the bridges. He
stepped very slowly and cautiously
after the first 100 feet, where he
reached the point where the water
rushed below. He stepped on as
though to become accustomed to the
moving river before he ventured
further. The sun also glinted down
the gorge and blurred the sight some
what. He seemed to gain confidence
and assurance, however, and was
walking rapidly when he reached the
center of the sag. From this point he
increased his speed gradually and ran
up the last half OF the incline leading
to the American Shore. Hehad made
the distance in exactly So minutes.
When he reached the shore there was
a tremendous burst of applause and
cheers that continued until he again
started to take the wire, when it be-
came deathly still. He advanced this
time over 100 feet and performed some
difficult and dangerous feats, such as
walking backward, stepping over his
balancing pole, and walking on his
knees. The applause was again deaf
ening when he reached the bank. Cal
verify walked against time. Dixon,
whose record was the lowest, crossed
the river at this point in 49, minutes.
Calverly's was less than z minutes.
The intrepid mid-air pedestrian is
most prepossessing in looks. He is
only % years old, is 5 feet 10 inches
in height, and weighs 1873 pounds.
