T H E M O N T A N I A N , Published Every Friday Evening at Choteau Teton Co., Montana. S. M. CORSON, Editor. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1893. OFFICIAL PAPER OF TETON COUNTY. » You can form a pretty good es timate of the average Monlanian’s character by simply referring to whether lie is ior or against an ex tra session of the legislature. Same with newspapers. T he consensus of opinion among men oi brains and honesty is that there be no special meeting of the legislature called at this time for the purpose of electing W. A. Clark, or any other enemy of the common interest of the peo ple to the I). S. senate. I t is a fact patent to everyone who reads that only those news papers who stood in with the Clarkites last winter and who still harp on free wool and free trade as the best thing for the United States, desire or clamor lor an ex Ira session of the legislature. T hat limes will be even harder under free trade than what iliey now aie, is certain. All we have to do to prove this is to note the iact that every article we pur chase from abroad is so much era ploymenl taken from our own people and given to someone else, and the money we pay out is gone < ut of the country too, along with it. If we are not to buy these foreign goods and send our money out of the country, what U the use of Free Tiee? Can’t Look a Sh<*ep in The Face. W. G. Conrad was in attendance at. the woolgrower's meeting at Great Falls. In the evening at the banquet he told the following story. Being a democrat Mr Con rad felt some delicacy in telling it, but did finally in strict confi dence: On a recent trip through Ohio he met a big sheep owner vjjho said that a Montana tramp came along to his ranch a few months ago and beggrd for work, saying he was able to do anything around a sheep ranch. The Ohio man asked the tramp if he could shear and received a confident? answer in the affirmative. lie was told to lake a pair of shears and show what lie could do in this way and the sheep owner watched the operation. After looking on a few minutes lie said to the tramp: “I can see you don’t know anything about shearing. Where did you lean to commence shearing a sheep at its tail?” “That’s all right, bos*,” replied the tramp, “I know it ain’t the u-ual way but the fact. U I m U j a democrat, and I hate to look a sheep in ilie face i hese days: I haven’t gall enough.” W UÒLGR O W ER ’S ' MEETING: Afc G r e a t F a lls on Tuesday Last. Pursuant to the call of Presi dent B. C. White, of Ubet, the woolgrowers of Montana met at- Great Falls on Tuesday, Sept. 5, and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, D. E. Folsom. Vice-president. B. 0. White. Secretary, J. H. Ridé. 1 Treasurer, A. W. Kingsbury. Several topics were discussed^ and then the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, The present low price of wool and the consequent depreciation iu the price of sheep and other property pertaining to the wool growing industry huuVc; entailed aüBoiuùe hankiuptcy upun ■uany and irreparable loss upon all par vins iaterested, aod ttfberees, The changed condition of our business demands a radical 'change in the manner of conducting the same, therefore, be it Resolved, By the Montana wool- growers in convention assembled that we expect and insist that our employes shall accept a scale of wages commen surate with the depreciation iu the val uation of our product. Resolved, That any unfavorable leg islation in the immediate future would intensify the present deplorable condi tion of our business and we therefore ask our representatives in congress to use .their best endeavors to prevent p'acing wool on the free list. Resolved, That we believe more can be accomplished by concert of action than by individual effort, and it ia there fore the duty of thia association to co operate with the National Woolgrowers association and with that end in view we should be represented at the Nation al YVooigrower* convention to be held afc Chicago on the 28th insfc. The question of wages occupied the attention of the convention for a considerable time, and iinally a resolution was passed setting forth that in (he opinion of those pres ent $25 to $80 per month was all that they could afford to pay herders. The prices to he paid ranch hands were concluded to be from $20 to $25 per month. The matter of a “reasonable compensation for shearing” was decided to be 6 cents per head with board and 7 cents without board. The following addrees was then unanimously adopted: The woolgrowers of Moutana respect fully petition your honorable body that the duty on wool be not reduced amd if our petition be not granted that any legislation tending toward the reduction of duty be so worded that the reduction shall not take effect for two years after its passage for the following reasous: 1. The prosperity of a large portion of the population of this state is entirely dependent on the success of the woo growing industry. 2. This being a new country those engaged in the industry have been obliged to incur heavy expenses in mak ing suitable preparation* to carry on the industry successfully. Many parties are heavily in debt as a consequence and if a free wool bill be pa*sed thev would become bankrupt. 8 . Owing to a geographical position and vigorous climate the expense of con ducting the busiuess of wool growing in this state is much greater than in other countries where large numbers of shaep^ are'cttred for. - Sheds for shelter and hay for feeding ha.ve to be provided a t groat expense; the rate of wages is higher and transportation to seabord markets greater than in South America and Aus tralia. 4. The industry if given the name consideration in the future as in the past can produce an unlimited quantity of the best- wool -raised in the world within the next few year* and we con sider it unjust to have an industry pros trated by any sodden leginlative action. After the the passage of the resolutions the board of trade rei- qlutioVis to the same effect were a'ccsepted by the convention which then adjourned to a banquet at the Park hotel.

It is that all secondary financial leg islation be postponed till the sen ate acts on the repeal bid. It is learned that the president and Secretary Carlisle have ex pressed the wish that all remedial legislation be postponed until the repeal bill has actually passed the senate. There is no doubt that the committee intends to follow this suggestion. Em e u d v e Clemency.

Labor D a y . A naconda , Sept. 4.—-Forty eight carloads of Butte people came to Anaconda to participate in Labor day celebration. The parade was an imposing one. At the park Mayor Thornton delivered an ad dress of welcome, which was re sponded to by Peter Breen. The orator of the day was Ignatius Donnelly, who dwelt on the labor problem and the silver question. His effort was a very able one. The afternoon and evening were devoted to games, contests of var ious kinds and dancing. ass- Senator P o w e r ’s Staxomont.^U W ashington ., .S.ept. ... ,6^ — Thê^j Helena.
