THE NEW BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS.

The new board of county commits
~sioners have entered upon ~theirduties
with a determination to curtail ex-
penses in every direction. In this en-
deavor they will be sustained by the
taxpayers of the county, regardless OF
party. The draft on every fund will
receive the closest scrutiny in the
future and there will be no unneces-
sary outlay of money.
There is no question but the law in
relation to paupers has been abused.
Some who have means Or relatives to
care for their wants have found &C.
cess to the poor farm. There has
been a sitting out of those who have
other means of support and appli,
cants for public aid will have their
cases examined into more closely in
the future. A large sum of money has
been expended on public roads since
the county was formed and there are
many who think full equivalent has
not been received. There is a great
opportunity to swell the bills on the
road fund and a closer inspection o
the work performed should be inaugu
| rated.
The efforts to curtail the expenses
| of the sheriff's Office in the matter O
team hire, although the powers O
the board are limited by the provis
ious of the law, will also receive the
approval of taxpayers. The bills
for this service have been largely in
excess of the actual necessities.
In reducing the clerical force and
salaries the board found no pleasant
duty, as the members are gentlemen
who are not oblivious or unmindfu
of the welfare of others. They believed
the offices could be properly con
Quoted in these times at less expense
and their action was in accordance
with the opinions OF many taxpayers
If they have made an error time will
demonstrate the fact.
The board has aimed to show nc
partiality in curtailing expenses, and
believe, with the hearty cooperation
of county officers, a good showing will
| be made for 1894 and much cause fol-
| complaint removed.

Where Seeds Come From.

First among the seed producing houses
of the world stands the old establishment
of ID. NJ. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich. Es-
tablished in 1856, this firm has been for
years the largest and best known seed
house in the world. In 1898 over one hun
dred thousand dealers handled Ferry's
seeds and the number OF people who
planted them runs far into the millions.
For 1884 this firn has made preparation
to supply at least $4,000 bushels OF garden
beans lone. Something more than shrewd
business methods is required to place and
keep such a business in the lead. 1t is
something that deserves the thought OF
everyone who plants a seed. If every sower
could go on a tour OF inspection through
this great establishment and see What IL
behind the name of Ferry's seeds, see with
what care they have been developed and
tested, see with what precision they are
sorted and packed, ready for planting,
there would be less disappointment and
fewer losses from the use OF inferior seeds.
Every year d.. NJ. Ferry & Co. issue an
annual for the convenience and instruction
of those who plant seeds. 1t is prepared
by the most competent authors, and ID
rightly looked upon as a standard author
ity on the most profitable things to plant
and the best way to cultivate them. This
book is sent free of charge to all who SEND
their name and address to the above men

field and a young wife are the princi-
pals. They were quietly married in
Chicago four weeks ago and since then
have lived at the Hotel Helena. A
few days ago Mr.. Hershfeld left for
New York, his wife receiving a notice
that he would leave her. 1t is said
that the separation was brought about
by Mrs. l.. II. Hershfield. Mrs. Aaron

not appeal, but during the time al

opened a letter of another of his

for his devotion to Montana interests.
While in st. Paul recently he was in.

said: There's nothing in politics,
Our people just nov are giving their
attention to their material interests,
and care little for politics. We have
already had a hard blow in the uncon,
ditional repeal of the Sherman law
and if this congress strikes another
blow at our prosperity by taking of
tine duty on wool, the Democratic

Writing on the wool question the
Anaconda Standard says: when the
Democratic administration attacked
silver, eveIv Montana Democrat pro-
tested. Now that the same administra-
ton has prepared a bill with generous
protection for many articles but which
discriminates against Montana indus
tries, the great majority of Democrats
again protest and, except those in quest
of patronage, they are not standing in
fear of being called down by the ad-
ministration Oh its agents. The same
is true respecting lead-on that score
the voice of Montana Democracy has
repeatedly been heard; but in the pres
emit instance no newspaper in Montana
has presumed to advocate free lead, as
free wool has been advocated" This
is a close range shot at the federal
office holder of the Helena Indepen-
dent who, fearful of losing his job, at
tempts to misrepresent the sentiments
of the Democratic woolgrowers of Mon
tana. The Independent gave half
hearted support to the cause of silver,

II. G. Dun d Co.'S review of the pas,
years business shows the condition tc
be the worst for half a century. The
report says: Starting with the larges,
trade ever known, mills crowded with
work and all business stimulated by
high hopes, the year 1898 has proven,
in sudden s~hrinkage of trade, in COM
mercial disasters and depression of in
dustries, the worst for fifty years.
Whether the final results of the panic
of 1887 were relatively more severe the
scanty records of that time do not
clearly show. The year closes with the
prices of many products the lowest
ever known, with millions of workers
seeking in vain for work and with char
ity laboring to keep back suffering and
starvation in all of our cities. All
hope the new year may bring brighter
days, but the dying year leaves only a
dismal record"

HON. JOHN

When the small faction of FREE
traders run out of material to sup
port their free wool theories they
quote John Woodson of Meaghel
county as authority. A few day.
since a communication appeared il
the Helena Independent from Parl
county written, it is said, by a fedora
Office holder, in opposition to the
Anaconda Standards position on the
wool question. The writer, as usual
referred to all article written by John
Woodson a year or more ago infavoi
| of free wool, in which the linking
argument "a used. At the time Mr.,
Woodson was a Democratic member
of the legislature from Meagher county
when theories passed just rs current
as facts. But Mr.. Woodson has
learned a lesson in the bitter school
of experience in a brief year.
Last summer the honorable gentle.
man, like other woolgrowers, was
compelled to hustle to make ends
meet, and he rounded up his dry
sheep, lambs and everything that he
could turn into money and headed
them toward the Chicago market.
But why quote Mr.. Woodson as ex-
pert authority on the free wool prop
osition? Where did he obtain his
vast store OF knowledge? Perhaps at
Millersville or J%onesburg, Missouri,
where they operated one set of cards
and manufactured butternut jeans.
Ii Mr.. Woodson attended the Worlds
Fair he was probably impressed with
the exhibit of Australian wool. Had
he questioned the experti in attendance
and learned how this wool is handled
and graded with ours the knowledge
obtained might have changed his opin-
ion somewhat.
When the sheep are sheared each
fleece is laid upon a table and skirted,
that is, all of the short wool from the
neck. legs and belly of the sheep are
taken from the fleece, which leaves
the wool of uniform length and high
grade. Those woods, when packed,
bring to the grower from Is to IA
cents per pound in Melbourne and are
worth fully forty per cent more than
our wool. The skirts bring from z to
8 cents. The freight on these woods
from Melbourne to Boston is about
one-half cent a pound.
1t will readily be seen that an east
ern manufacturer can lay these beau
tiful Australian woods, worth forty
per cent more than Montana woods,
down in Boston for LAY cents per
pound. These woods do not compete
with Montana woods, but with the
better classes of American woods.
The woods that compete with the
Montana product come from South
Africa and South America, being OF
similar grade as ours. These woods
are selling in the London market for
about 8 cents a pound, and the freight
from London to Boston is one-quarter

Idon't know what the herder's dog

My figures are corroborated by my

The Democrat in it's criticism on
Dec. 2Sth stands self condemned, not
only as to a fair reply to our article
on "Cost Of Woolgrowing." but on the
whole subject of tariff reduction Tor
annihiIation) and its benefits to Mon
tana woolgrowing, when it says it has
given the matter "only a casual
p~erusal."
That is just what is the matter;
just what we are "kicking" about.
We want a CAREFUL perusal and
study of the whole subject.
We want some facts and figures
given us such as can demonstrate t.
us the benefits we will derive from fire,
wool.
The absence of any such in the Dem
ocrat columns is too apparent to
mention. Personally we have nc con-
troversy with the editor of the Demo-
crat. But We think we have with a
paper disseminating false statements
as to an important industry, and
wish to call for a "show down" of
facts.
Reading on the free trade times
prior to 1860 don't sound wellin these
days, and for our part we don't ARE
to repeat the experiment. The trouble
is We will have to pay part OF "the
costs in the case"
The facts are the laboring class now
find themselves betrayed by the Dem
ocratic press, party and administra-
tioa. The price received by the
''powers that be" is like the thirty
pieces of silver received on a certain
occasion by Judas Iscariot-iti is blood
money.
According to the last utterances OF
the Democratic oracle, Pres. Cleve-
lands message, "wages will be reduced
but employment steady" Sheep
herders and sheepmen will bow in pro-
found gratitude for that, and blush
lin the dark for the magnanimous
sagacity that put off the saying so till
now, rather than before election.
Ii there is any ''huge joke" in the
matter of discussing protection VS..
free trade to woolgrowers, it is pretty
assuredly just now IN the poor
deluded souls who labored strenuously
for Democracy in 1892, hoping to get
20 cents per pound for wool and who
are now sweetly fondling their 8 and
10 cents per pound instead.
