The Bozeman Chronicle INDUCES in
a lengthy review of Charley Harman's
speech in the house on silver and en-
dorse his views on this subject fully.
When it comes to the tariff, however,
the writer draws the line and says:
"The facts of the matter are that the
tariff has nothing at all to do with this
depression and that there is not q mill
closed on this account" The Demo
cratic editor whe can make such a
statement is almost as great a humorist
as Mark Twain. But the most amusing
part of it is these fellows offer no
reasons for the situation. Down east
the Democratic press attribute the
present depression to silver and silver
alone. But the Montana specimen
is shrewd enough to avoid such a
hypothesis, it prefers to offer no reasons
at all. The American Wool Reporter,
which has no political AK to grind, gives
the situation in the wooden industry
as follows and what is rue of this in
dustry is true of all others affected by
the tariff: "Hence it is that at this
moment the prospective change in the
tariff obtrudes itself and forces recog-
milton, for there will not be a yard of
heavy goods for the season OF 1898

THE WooLGRoWERs, CONVENTION.

The proceedings of the Montana
Woolgrowers' convention will be found
elsewhere. Although the attendance
was not large it was sufficient to give
intelligent expression to the views of
woolgrowers throughout the state.
1t is gratifying to know that a Though
the majority Of the committee on reso-
buttons and the petition to congress
were Democrats it did not deter them
from meeting the issue squarely and in
language that cannot be misinterpreted.
Furthermore, we are informed that f.
G.. Maclay has volunteered to visit
Washington and do what he car to aid
the industry in this state. This ie
right. Business men who have the
prosperity and welfare of the state at
heart will have no patience with the
man with a theory. A condition is at
hand and must be met. There will be
plenty of time to talk politics after
wards. The preamble to the petition
strikes the key note of the situation.
1t prays that the duty on wool "be not
reduced and if our petition be not
granted that any legislation tending
the reduction be SO worded that
it will not take effect for two years
after its passage"
The facts given should appeal to
the reason Of every fair-mInded legis-

FROM THE GILT EDGE.
J. T.. Arlington and DR.. Fairfield Bring in
SIS 600 Of the Produce of the Mine.

J. T. Arlington and DR.. Fairfield re-
turned yesterday from the Gilt Edge mine
near Maiden, and brought with them about
SIS, 900 worth of the product of the Hunt
ington system OF treating the ore OF that
mine. 1t was the result of about three
weeks run and speaks volumes for the
wealth of that now famous property.
The company is now working about
seventy men and as soon as the process o
treating the ore is improved to it's fullest
capacity the force will be increased con
siderable. The ore at present being treated
runs from SIS to $40 a ton. Some has
been taken out which went considerably in
excess OF that amount.
The Gilt Edge has passed beynnd a pos
sibility. 1t is a splendid property in every
sense of the word.
Maiden is fast recovering it's mineral
strength. which has laid dormant for the
last decade, and promises to regain ere
long it's former prestige among the wealthy
gold camps Of the country. Only a few
days ago Manager Provard of the Spotted
Horse mine passed through here en- route
for the federal assay office in Helena with
a gold bar estimated to be worth $4,000.
With these two mines turning out the vel
low metal at such n fattering rate Maiden
can he considered in the swim.-Great Falls
Tribune.

MiSsoulian: No extra session. No
more hair pulling. No more cater
wauling. No more singing, "My coun-
try, tits of thee, provided L get a fee."
No more swelling out of the chest, in
flation of the cheeks and stentorian
tones proclaiming patriotism while the

ent. Notduring the present stringency.

and 1894 that will not be affected by
the tariff, even though the change may
not become operative until January,
1895. The manufacturer is dealing
with an unknown quantity; he does
not know absolutely that a change
will be made, when and to what ex
tent. He is entirely in the dark in re-
gard to the probabilities; the only
knowledge that he possesses is that
some fall goods will be required, but
at what prices or whether in quaint
ties to warn him in keeping his organ
ization intact, he does not know. HI
is enveloped in a mist, and lacks light
necessary to a safe guidance"

Yes, revise the tariff, by all means,
and the quicker the better. Now is a
good time when business is stagnant
TO repeal the Mckinley failure which
has brought distress upon thecountry.
The above is from the hireling who
edits the Independent, and the only
man in Montana who has received a
crumb from Grover Cleveland's hands.
As a liar he could beat Ananias and
all his relation. This same fellow is
bowling every day for a enator to 60
to Washington to vote for free wool,
Ii the facts we're known it would be
no more for free silver than he does
for the welfare of woolgrowers.

Commissioner Lochren of the pen
sion bureau has issued an order modi-
flying the practice OF the office as to
suspensions of pensions. The most
important change is that which directs
that hereafter there shall be no sus-
pension except in cases where the rec
ord shows Oh its face that the soldier is
not entitled to pension whatever. 1t is
believed the number who come under
this class will be V ry small. Hoke
Smith and Lochren have heard some
themselves with the old soldiers.

THE FAIR.

The first exhibition of the Fergus
County Agricultural, Mineral and
Stock association takes place on the
Goth, 9th and 2Sth inst. Although
the times are not as propicious for the
fair as they might be, owing to the
scarcity of money, still il was deemed
best by the association to make a start
this year. While it is not expected
that the first exhibition will equal the
| Chicago show, yet we believe an enter
tanning program will be provided. The
races promise to be good, while the
| other attractions will be all the citizens
of the county see fit to make them.
Nearly every family in the county
could do something in the way of ex-
hibits if so disposed. 1t is a matter
that should not be left to the lew. The
wonders at Chicago are gathered from
all parts of the earth-so in a measure
must the attractions for our fair be
gathered from all parts of the county.
Let everyone come and bring some
thing for exhibition and our first fair

The ladies have begun to rustic and in
tend to do their part in forwarding the
good work.
There will be trap shooting as one of
the features, and Montana beats the
world in marksmen. Let our sports
men enter with zeal for the purse, and
mt the same time provide entertain
ment for the crowd.
Our fairs must and will become per-
manent and successful, and the first
one should be such as to encourage
future efforts.
