Upon the subject OF free trade and
territorial government ~ adopted by
the administration Of Grover the First
and Last, the editor Of the Bozemsn
Courier say: There must certainly be
some selfish, secret spring to policy
which aims direct blow at the com
merciul, manufacturing and lsboring
interest Of the country, and il il,
doubtless, 10 be found in that sectional
bias and intense prejudice which
divided the democratic party in 1860,
resulting in the nomination OF two
national" democratic tickets. headed
respectively by j. c, Breckenridge and
Stephen A. Douglass, and ultimately
precipitating the war OF the rebellion.
In the deverging ewes of American
democracy II would he all right, just
aud equitable to either materially
modify. or wholly sbrogate the tariff
on such foreign importations as come
into competition with our home pro-
ductions, except such articles a. sugar,
rice, tobacco and other articles which
are the principal staple products Of the
southern states. That is the eye which
evidently divtrges towards the south
in order to keep that section solid for
democracy, while the other is con-
stsntly kept on a few doubtful, or
non-msnufacturing eastern or north
western states in order to preserve the
balance Of political power. Itis thus
that the Mills bill 10 sectionally dis
eliminating In most Of its important
pro visions, and it IL this distinctive
feature Of II that will condemn II and
consign IL TO deserved oblivion at the
polls on the 9th Of November next.
Aud Montans will prove un worthy OF
her fair name, her remarkable enter
prise and superior Intelligence IL she
does not this fall wheel into line with
the national party OF progress and
unite with the friends OF oil sections,
industries and classes Of our common
country in administering 3 well
merited and fitting rebuke 10 the
present administration, the majority
in the lower house OF the nat
ional legislature and the democ.
racy throughout the entire country.
But the present administration has
not only embarrassed and handicap
ped the democratic party in Montana,
by its mischievous and untensble posi-.
ton on the tariff question, but II has
ignored or willingly set at defiance at
least twoimpnrtsnt declsrstory planks
in the platform upon which il came
into power-one which declared that
the selection Of federal offices for the
territory should be restricted TO citi-
zeus previously resident therein; and
the other which committed the party
to honest civil service reform. lt IL
unnecessary 10 r.clte the numerous
instances IN which those solemn
pledges have been violated In Mon-
tana. The democratic press OF the ter
ritory has in few instances raised 9
feeble voice against the unjust and
vicious policy Of the administration In
the matter Of federal appointments
for the territory. but on the contrary
the democratic territorial convention
recently held 10 Butte, heartily en-
dorsed and spplsuded every singl,

Justice OF our supreme court, and th,

quently shown 10 be so notoriously
