Ill .1i ' of til.i sandta, mratter thie It
11inIuai . I i ies says: ".A fair argu- t
meant wauld be to compare England with
her systeml of free exchange with any of
the other great countries of Eturope with
their system of protection. Since (treat
Britain repealed her own corn laws lmore
than frtty years ago - and alde her ri
ports free to the conmmerce of the worhl, i
her growth in wealth has far outstripped e
that of any other European country. d
But. what is of far greater moment, this
increased prosperity has gone under d
equal laws. to the greatness of the peo
ple, instead of being made, as unequal
laws have made our prosperity, the gi
special possession of the few. The iut- hi
proved condition of the English th
working people is shown in the
immense ituproveinent in the tt
quantity and quality of their fu
food. and the returns of the income tax.
In 184-10, under protei-tion. the per aspita
consumption of bacon and hams by the
population of G(reat Britain was an in
considerable fraction of a pound: now it w'
is 11 pounds. (of wheat and wheat flour 1h
it was 4:1 pounds; now it is '21) pounds. tr
Of sugar it was 15 spounds; now it is 70 la
pounds, and sa on through the whole Yt
table of the necessaries and comforts of Be
life." re
That is a fair argument and to the
print. 'Th' ceondition of the working
mcan in pr,,tctedl France, and t(irmany
and Italy ii far inferior to that of the
lnglish laborer, while the general
growth of prosplrity in those countries

England draws prosperity from tihe out
side world. She etmancipated her peo
phle the day her far sighted statesmen re
Ipeni, I her protective system. The
tlhery of protection is that if the goy
,ernanent will take care of the rich, the
rich will take care of the poor. The
latter stands ao mlhow under it. Th'le
seltishness. the arrogance and the greed
,f hluman nature knock the props from
under the theory and it tumbles to the
round. 'The fault is in the theory. It

E. THANKSGIV ING.
A great many years ago, during the
early settlement of Massachusetts, the
Pilgrim fathers were on the point of
h starvation. They expected a shipload of
provisions from England. but it didn't
come. They were reduced to the last
straits and like the pious, prayerful pea

The peuple of Montana have been
richly blessed. Surrounded by all the
elements of wealth, reveling in plently,
enjoying the fullness of health, and
dwelling in the most prosperous com
monwealth in the union they have abun
dant reason to be thankful. Those of
itreat Falls are peculiarly favored. The
tGreat Architect of the universe has
given them his choicest handworks and
health and strength and will to develop
them. The year has been one of great
pronmise and encouragement to them and
they can now see in the near future the
full fruition of all their hopes.
"Praise (;od from whom all blessings
flow."
The following trom an exchange is .c
well said and so evidently true that it
should be read by every parent. school
trustee and other school officers in the
land: "Lift your hat reverently when
you pass the teacher of the primary
school. She is the great angel of the
republic. She takes the bantling fresh
from the home nest, full of pouts and
passions an ungovernable little wretch
whose own mother honestly admits that
she sends him to school to get rid of
him. This lady who knows her business
takes a whole carload of these little an
archists, one of whom, single handed
and alone, is more than a match for his
parents. and at once puts thelu in a way
of being useful and upright citizens. At
what expesnse if toil and patience and
soul weaineiss! Hers is the nmost re
spionsible position in the whole school,
and if her salary was double she would
not receive more than she earns."
Tit:iFr. is naturally considerable un
demonstrative interest felt by the people
of Great Falls as to the precise point of
contact of the Blurlington railroad with
the city. That the roIwl will be built to
this placie is no longer a matter of specu
liahn. Every indication spints to that
fact. But at what part of the city the
road will make its entrance is the ,lues
tion that admits of much guessing. But
as the main point as to the building of
the road is settled the peopleof the place
Iay complacently wait the developments
which will accurately point to the depot
gronnds. Great Falls is ample in pro
portions and can find room for the depot
buildlings of a dozen railroads.
W\Vr:arus push, pluck and persistence
gain the republican national convention
for Minneapolis. The city had a strong
delegation at Washington and stronger
claims to present. It was really, how
ever a battle between the east and the
west. The victory of the latter em
phasizes the fact that the control over
national affairs which has so long rested
with the east has forever passed to the
great and growing west. The time is
not so far distant when Great Falls may
ask for and receive like gatherings of na
tional delegates.
THE silver resolutions of the Denver
congress have stirred up every gold bug
organ in the country to a bitterness
against the white metal which has been,
heretofore, but illy-concealed.
A WORD TO PROI'ERT'Y hOLD
ERS.
Great Falls has an excellent volunteer
tire department. Does every one know
what that means? It means that a few
men in this city have volunteered to leave
their business at any hour of the day
and get up out of their beds at anylhour
of the night, and face rain, or hail or
sleet and risk their lives and limbs to
save their neighbors' property and proLb
ably some human being from death dur
ing a lire. They are not paid for their
services Ibut freely give themu to the city.
They are ait brave, self-denying body of
men who take ipride in promptly and
effectively doing their work. They also
take a pardonable pride in having suit
ab,le and complete ealuipments and in
having everything in good shape about
their engine and hose houses. To have
all theso things. however, requires ma lit
tle rmoney now and then. In order to
get it they onecnsionally give a hall. the
net surpluis to lie devoted to the uses of
the department. In order to imake the
hall a success they must sell tickets and
ticketls can't Ibe sold unless buyers come
forward and purchase them.
Now the object of this brief article is
to remind the property-holders, house
hollers, and taxpayers of the city that it
is absolutely one of their duties to aid
the department to the extent, at least.
of purchasing one, if not more, tickets.
We say it is their duty tI take a ticket
for tit,' reasons stated. The departnlent
nmuy save them ten llr a hundred timies

that may break out in the city. .\

TaxI' is a good . aiI nle on the part of
thie treasury t departlment to tranasfer the
headquarters of special agnantC who ure
lookilng mafterl smiruggling andi other illicit
traffic at the btoundary line, from Chi
cago to St. Paul. The lprolspa tions which
tlhe saluggling of opiunm aind Chinniaen
have asuallnert during the past year or
two cannot longer be concealed and the
treasury department has become awak
ened to the importance of checking or
destroying the practice altorgether. Con
gressional aid will doubtless be reqluired
before opium smuggling can be stopped.
That can be rendered by withdrawing
the inducements to smuggle by lowering
the duty on opium which is now $12 per
pound. But some understanding with
the Dominion government must first be
effected before a stop can be put to tile
smuggling of Chinamen.
IN his speech before the Denver Min
ing cougress that staunch friend of the
white metal-- Senator Sowart--placed
the center of the gold trust in
England. lie says London fi
nanciers issue their orders to New
York bankers and they in turn to the
bankers of the country who all obey the
foreign mandate. Thus it may be seen
that gold standard Great Britain, which
demonetized the white royal metal forty
years ago, now fixes the market price of
the American product for speculative
purposes. In view of these facts is it
not time the miners of the Rocky moun
tain states firimly unite upon the' single
proposition for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver?

the poverty of their purses the table de

Those South American countries, while

O(. l: of the weakest points in the reg
ulations for the suppression of opium
smuggling is that which provides that
the captured opium shall be sold at
auction. If the opium were destroyed
the penalty would be much more effect
ive and severe. As it is now the opium
is bought up at auction by the confeder
ates of the smugglers at less than the
duty, thus defrauding the government
and injuring the business of honest im
porters. -Spokane Spokesman.

W.V.,nU.iTi. Nov. 24. An important
step taken by the republican national
committee during the forenoon session
was the reference to the executive com
mittee with a full power to act on all
matters connected with preparations for
the next convention. The executive
committee decided to assume the active
direction of the matter itself and ar
range for the hall, printing of tickets,
apartment or sergeant-at-arms and depu
ties, ushers and doorkeepers for the con
vention. It will also take charge of the
preparation and publication of steno
graphic report of the proceedings of the
convention. A conference was held ira
mediately with some of the citizens com
nmittee of Minneapolis and the directions
were given by tlhe executive committee
for the preparation as soon as possibleof
the diagram of the convention hall show
ing the number and location of seats and
all other necessary details. I hanning F.
Meeks of Colorado was elected by
the executive conmittee as sergeant-at
arms of the next national convention.
At half half past two o'clock this after
noon the national committee again as
sembled to discuss routine business.
There followed a succinct statement
from each member of the committee of
the conlition of the party in the various
states and its needs and prospects.
These were generally hopeful in tone
and were received with enthusiasm by
the committee as well as by some of the
members of the executive committee of
the national republican league who were
admitted to the hall to give aid in the
party councils. Governor Pinchbeck of
Iouisiana, however. varied the sameness
of the addresses somewhat by indulging
in a fierce attack upon the white repub
licans of the south, whom he held to be
responsible for the lack of virility of the
party in that section of the country and
whom he charged with sup
pressing the negro vote for fear of race
iues. He held that their pusillanimous
uolicy had resulted in untold party losses
and maintained that a few vigorous con
tests and manifestations of their rightful
power by the southern negroes would
have a wholesome political effect and re
deem the southern states from democ.
racy. It was announced that a meeting
of the executive committee would be
held within two or three weeks upon a
call from the chairman to undertake the
work preliminary to the convention and
at 7 o clock the national committee ad
journed sine die.
