W. q. Conrad Says Montana wooIgrowers
VIII Receive Consideration.
TGreat Falls Tribune.1

lGreat ais 1TlDuucJ
VIC. Conrad, formerly president
of the Northwestern National bank,
arrived here last night from wash
ington. To a Tribune reporter he
said that he had nothing to say
about the bank affairs just yet. He
remarked that a good many lies
appeared to be in circulation about
the banks affairs and referred i'm a
sarcastic way to the story of his get
ting over $3O,OOO of the banks
money, now represented by Mr..
Hatcher's notes. Being asked as to
whether Mr.. Hatcher was coming
here, he said he did not know any
thing about his movements. He
was not on the train last night.
MIR. Conrad then commenced to
speak of the wool tariff. and declared
that the manufacturers were pretty
chilly fellows and better organized
than the wOOlgrowers. The bill as
presented by Dingley i'm the house
was not satisfactory to the wool
growers, but Senators Mantle and
Carter had assured the woolgrowers
that when it got to the senate they
| would see that it was amended so IA
| to make it more satisfactory to their
constituents i'm Montana. What he
feared most was that it would not
be passed i'm time to affect this year 4
clip very much. The senate seemed
disposed to take their time in dis.
cussing it's provisions. If it was
passed before June it would help the
woolgrower this season, but If it did
not become law before July it would
not be of much benefit this season t.
the woolgrower. He praised Man
tie, Carter and Hartman for the in.
i terest they took in helping the WOO
men against great odds brought to
bear by the manufacturers.

We now produce One-siXth and i'm
port fivc-sixths of all the sugar that
we Use, cane and beet sugar being
taken into account. During the last
forty years the average annual out
lay Of the people of the United States
for sugar has been about $125, ,OOO, 900,
or $1,000, ,O0O. 900 i'm all. Five-sixths of
this vast sum we have sent abroad.
All ought to have been spent at home.
Had the provisions of the Mckinley
bill remained i'm force, as was intended,
for period of fourteen years. we
should at the respiration of that period
have been producers of all the sugar
that we used. That is to say, we
should have been able to save five
sixths of $125, 100000 a year. The
Mckinley tariff law increased the
United States production of cane
sugar by about 100 per cent, and beet
sugar by more than 1 800 per cent.
1t being at present impossible to
revert to system of bOunties, it is
needful that the sugar duties be 80 re-
vised as to become specific instead of
ad valorem, discriminatory against
imports from bOunty-giving coun-
tries, productive of a fair share of the
revenue OF the country, and adequate
for the protection of home manufac-
tures.-Inter Ocean.

) peculiar, and in part iniquitous.

Is peculiar, anu IN part injurious.
First, there is a heavy duty on i'm
ports of sugar; this is to hold her
home market free from foreign COM
petition. Second, there is a consump-
ton tax Of nearly ~ cents on every
pound of sugar used in the empire;
this is inquitous. Third, there is a
bounty paid upon every pound of
sugar exported. This renders it need
full for the United States to levy an
additional tariff on German sugar,
or to pay a bounty on Ameri-
can made sugar, in order to encOur-
age a home industry. In the present
depleted condition of the treasury,
bounties are out of the question, and
therefore discriminating duties must
be levied.
The increase of American maniac
ture of beet sugar is encouraging,
and, indeed, remarkable. The pro-
duet i'm tons has been AZ follows dur

The True Blue on Deck,
The Washington correspondent OF
the Helena Independent writes as
follows regarding Montana patron

The Washington correspondent OF
the Helena Independent writes as
follows regarding Montana patron
age:
Sanders, Becker and Goddard,
who have been here since the inaugu-
ration, are said to have made ar
rangements for distributing the
loaves and fishes for Montana on the
lines of straightout Republicans.
The claim has been made that for a
long time after the Republican ma
tional convention Senator Carter
enjoyed himself fishing and i'm pur-
suits other than political, and that
finally he came out for Mckinley,
but was not n simon-pure, straight,
die-in-the-first-ditch Mckinley man
until he got warmed up i'm the cam
paign. For these reasons it is claimed
that it would he unjust to have him
the man absolute i'm the disposal of
patronage. Then Senator Carter is
disposed to consult with Senator
Mantle ON the subject. He does not
wish to appoint men who are obnox-
ious to either Mantle or Hartman.
In fact, the understanding among
these gentlemen may give the other
gentlemen cause for complaint. But
just the same it is well to remember
that Sanders has no vote i'm the
senate; Carter has. This side organ
ization may recommend. but as t.
their success. that is another ques
ton.
There seems to be a very fair pros
pect that William fl. Hunt, of Hell
ena, will be appointed circuit judg
in case a man is not selected from
California. The claim is made will
a great deal of vigor that the iudg
of this Circuit should reside at Sal
Francisco, SO that he may bereache'
readily in the big cases which con
stantly arise in that city. Ever.
state in the Circuit has a candidate
but it seems to be conceded that Il
case a San Francisco man is not selet
ted the Montana man will have tn
place. Mr.. Hunt ia not only strongl.
endorsed by the Montana bar, bu
good petitions from San Francisc
have been placed on file in his beha
!, az well as endorsements from CHI
cago, New York and other easter
cities.

In 1880 twO-thirds of the worlds
sugar supply was the product of cane;
in 1895 two-thirds was the product Of
beet roots. The creation of the beet
sugar industry has been by tariffs
and bounties. Germany is the great
est producer of beet sugar. and in
creased her bounties on sugar made
for export from time to time. Today
bounties are paid at the rate of q, 32k
and 3s $40 cents per 100 pounds on all
sugars made in Germany for expor-
tation. The United States received
the greater of these exports.
