REPUBLICAN VOOLGATHERIN

The Fergus County Argus, which
knows nothing whatever about wool, ex-
cept how to pull the political sort over
peoples eyes, informs us that Commo-
dore Power writes it to aid in getting
democratic woolkrowers to petition con-
gress against disturbing the wool eched-
ule in the Mckinley tariff. The Argus
stupidity gives away the Commodore's
scheme and its open advice to democrats
to enlist under his banner and aid him
In knocking down next years senatorial
persimmon is deliciously but uninten-
tionally amusing.
The woolgrowers Of Montana are as
intelligent men as can be found in any
industry. They are not going to be
humbugged by any politician who seeks
to use them for personal ends.
They have watched the operations of
high tariffs. They know that every one
OF them has resulted dsastrously to
the woolgrowing industry. And the
Mckinley law, which went into opera
tion long before the last presidential
election, has been most disastrous of all.
The political hack who would dare to

at this time and tell them the Mckinley
law was their boon and salvation would
indeed possess a brazen front. 1t is 70

do it himself and that he wants bis

Plans for Canals In the Yellsws tone
Country.
At tho last meeting OF the Montana So
ciety of Civil Engineers the secretary read
a paper by Charles TsppaD, on "Irrigntion
from tho Yellowstone River." Mr.. Tappan
described several ditohes which have al
ready been constructed, taking water from
the Upper Yellowstone. He called alton
tion to the limited area that could be irri-
gated at reasonable cost per acre by
ditcbes taken from the main river and
reached the conclusion that most of tho
lands In the Yellowstone wiley must be
irrigated BY canals taken from tho branch
streams. In tho discussion that followed
MIR. Foss said. 1T is probably true that
most Of tho land on ths south side OF tho
Yellowstone can bs more oheaply irrigated
from the II ibatary streams. but l believe
there arc two large Tracts OF land that
could.bs successfully irrigated by canals
from the main river. Oas Of these tracts
comprises about Sc, 600 acres. and is situated
on the south aide Of tho river near For
sythe. and the other larger area OF second
bench land on the north or wess side. be-
tween Glendivc and the mouth OF the river,
although the last tract would be ha. d 10
reach owing to the slight fall OF tho river
per mile below Miles Clsy. These ars largo
tracts, and would require considerable
capital to construct suitable canals,
bus ! believe water could be
put on to either Of thsm Al q reasonable
cost per aero. There is another POSSIBLE
canal. which may or may not be praotioa-
bio, but would cover a large area OF high
nesn lands on the north slde of the river
near Billings. It would probably require
canal 150 miles in length, at cost OF at
least $L0O0.0O0, anu am unable to stats
the amount of land that n i9ht be covered.
! be construction of au-na canal is not
likely to be undo taken IN the near future.

tilr " TIER.
NOW FOR THE RESI- OF IT.

Grover. Cleveland is an honest mar
who believes that parties and individuals
should keep their pledges and redeem
their promises. In calling congress to-
gether in extra session and urging repeal
OF the Sherman act he lived up to one
part of the Chicago platform. And con-
gress in voting for repeal also kept its
pledges. But there is more yet OF the
Chicago declaration Of principles. Tho
money plank entire is as follows:
ave denounce the republican legisla-
tion known as the Sherman act of 1890
as cowardly makeshift fraught with
possibilities Of danger in the future,
which should make all Of its supporters,
rs we'll as it's author, anxious for its
speedy repeal. We hold to the use Of
both gold and silver as the standard
money Of the country, and to the coinage
OF both gold and silver without discrimi-
mating agG.:.st either metal or charge
for mintage, but the dollar unit Of coin
age of both metals must be Of equal in
trinsic and exchangeable value or be
adjusted through international agree
ment or by such safeguards Of legisla-
tion as shall insure the maintenance Of
tho parity Of the two metals and the
equal power Of every dollar at all times
in the markets and in the payment Of
debts; and we demand that all paper
currency shall be kept at par with and
redeemable in such coin. We insist
upon this policy as especially necessary
for the protection of the farmer and Ia
boring GLASSES, the first and most de-
fenseless victims of unstable money and
a fluctuating currency"
Now the country has right to de-
mand and expect that the president and
congress will keep the rest OF the creed
to which they subscribed.
The Sherman act, or its purchase
clause, has been repealed. But is that
all?
1--WE hold to the use of both gold and
silver as the standard money Of the
country, and to the coinage Of both gold
and silver without discriminating against
either metal or charge for min tage."
That is what you subscribed to, Mr.
President and gentlemen of congress-
and that is promise you cannot afford
to ignore. 1t means, if the English Ian
guage means anything, that the United
States must have full, honest and COM
plete bimetallism. 1t does not mean
gold standard, to which the country will
be speedily forced unless we have legis-
lation supplementary to the repeal bill,
nor does it mean treasury policy that
bullies and jockeys with silver, beating
down the price and refusing to give it
circulation.
That declaration means exactly what
it says-"the coinage of both gold and
silver without discriminating against
either metal or charge for mintage."
We are very far from that policy yet;
very far from fulfilling our pledges to
the country. What are you going to do
about it, gentlemen?
Give us the rest of that platforml
