THE w-ooLGRowERs MEETING.

There was a large attendance of rep
resentative woolgrowers at the meeting
held Monday evening and on Tuesday.
Deep interest was manifested in all
matters pertaining to the industry and
particularly to the present condition of
the wool market Laying aside all
political considerations il is proper
that growers should assemble and as.
certain, if possible, what can be done
to save their business from ruin. If
they cannot stem the tide of legislation
against their interests altogether, they
may be able to defeat free wool or Sc
cure a compromise. In the clashing
Of different interests upon the assem-
bling Of congress alliances may be
formed that will check extreme legis-
lation affecting their product. This
ear only he brought about by organi-
zation and cooperation. The wool
growers of Montana should not be in
active or passive. \ call fer a state
convention would be the proper thing,
from which delegates should be sent to
the national convention which assem-
bles in Chicago in October.
The resolutions adopted by the asso-
citation are to the point. If we have
free wool, then theduty should be taken
oil from wooden goods and other articles
which the woolgrower uses, otherwise
the contention that free wool would
benefit the masses Is subterfuge. If
the w~oolgrower must suffer, let the
manufactures be a partner in his aillic-
tiou.. How the operators and herders
will be affected let the false prophets
decide. True, the manufacturer and
the woolgrower have stood together in
common interest, as a whole. Let
them fall together if they must fall.
The association did well in passing
the question Of wages, though the aver
age scale should be the same in all
parts of the county. Wages must be
regulated according to the profits of the
business. No standard scale can be
established arbitrarily, as the labor of
one man may be worth more than that
of another. A gradual scaling down is
inevitable if a very material cut is made
in the price of the wool, but let it he
deferred until the necessity arises. In
this the woolgrowers displayed a regard
for labor that was highly commendable.

CONDITION OF THE WOOL MARKET.

The following extracts from Boston
publications will give some idea of the
status of the wool market and the
prices that will be paid for the Mon
tana clip.
Boston Commercial Bulletin, May
eth: at is not easy to report a mar
ket when it does not properly exist.
The actual condition of trade has no
parallel certainly in recent history.
The slump of prices and the demorali-
zation of all business cannot be denied.
The plain facts are these: The free
traders have asserted that free wool
will benefit the American wool grower.
We are to have free wool. The real
effect Is being discounted in advance,
and the price of wool is going down.
A leading manufacturer, who returned
from n call upon Secretary Carlisle,
was told that free wool would be In
operation within six months of the
calling of the special session."
Boston Herald, May Goth: 'There
never has been anything like the de-
preston hat prevails today. A GER
tain Boston dealer paid lSc for a line
of territory wool last year.. Now he
declares that he is offered the same
clip at 12c, and hesitates about taking
the wool. A sale of Michigan delaine
is noted this week at oslo, and it is
worthy of note that the first half OIL
! more of the same pile was taken by
identically the same manufacturers
sixty days ago atS2c. Other fine wool:
are about as seriously depressed. A
few steps more and the entiredomestiG
market will be down to free wool. Ii
is at this basis that manufacturers anC
dealers must buy wool or they cannoi
afford to touch it. Manufacturers are
already proceeding with the idea o
wool as low as it can be bought abroad
and landed here, minus the duty"
Justice, Bateman & Co., speaking O
the advantage of early sales, say
with the downward drift to price
which, it is conceded, must ultimatel,
reach the free trade basis, it would
seem that the first sales made would
be the best. There seems little grount
upon which to base any hope for SOM
favorable reaction in prices. The con
illusions Of most sellers are that ever,
buyer must be filled up at the bes
price hat can be obtained, as the mex
days market is likely to be on a still
lower basis. With prices %gravitatinI
toward free wool values, it is plain tina
the shipments which are first in tn,
market and first sold will net bette
figures than later shipments"

honors to come. The great protec-
ZIONIST was in magnificent form, and in
accepting the nomination as the Re-
publican candidate for governor of
Ohio virtually outlined the declaration
of principles by which he may be
Judged as a candidate for the presi-
dency."
In thus honoring the great champion
of industrial prosperity in America,
Ohio Republicans have honored them
selves and measured with unerring ac-
curacy the sentiments of the American
people. This country has use for Nc
Kinley and men of his stamp. The
great majority of the American people
are already discovering the mistake
made at the polls last November. They
are confronted by a condition now, not
a theory, and the prospects are that
the condition will grow worse instead
of better. The outlook can be best de-
scribed by Mckinley in his speech OF
acceptance. He said:
"While waiting for the Democrats to
carry out the declarations in their plat.
form on the tariff, the country's bust
ness is paralyzed because of the uncer
tainty. If they do as they promised
they will revise the tariff on the British
free trade basis, striking at many in
dustries, making proftless millions o
capital and throwing thousands o
American workmen out of employ
ment. If the expectation of what thu
Democrats would do has destroyed
confidence, what will the full realiza
ton do? But a party divided into fac
tions for and against the administra
ton and split assunder on the tarit
and currency issues is poorly prepared
to grapple with the gravity of the situa
ton. With a gold president and a sill
yer congress, what can be done? Ado
nothing policy must be the result. TIL
only direction to look for relief is t.
the Republican party"
The ticket nominated was as follows
Governor, William Mckinley; lieuter
an~t-governor, Andrew L. Harris; stat
treasurer, VIM. T. Cope; attorney ger

Destroyed by Fire and Again at Work.

The Price Baking Powder company of
country for the superior excellence of it's
Baking Powder, met with a serious loss on
the morning of May 18th, in the nearly
total destruction by fire of its factory and
offices. No sooner had the flames been
subdued than the work of restoration com

sight, having had stored in outside ware
houses duplicate machinery, labels and
supplies of raw materials in preparation
for any emergency, was enabled by energetic
management to resume manufacturing
within "A very few days after the fire, there
by causing its customers but a trifiing delay
in the filling of their orders. Had the com

have required months of time to get new
