The Connecticut Democrats were not quite
up to square declaration in favor of free
trade. Bill Eaton Democrats still live, and
they are protectionists and still power in
Connecticut politics. Hence the Connecti-
cut Democracy stopped with declaring for
free raw materials. OF course protection to
the completed product of labor and the de-
NAL of it to the incomplete Productive so
called raw Materials utterly indefensibls
and could not last. All labor subjected to
foreign competition must lie protected or
none. Free raw materials would surely
destroy the protective system. SO that
while the Connecticut protectionists get
some show of concession to their views the
substance is all with the free traders.

corded up the millions they made out of

it has never established itself in cordial
relations with Montana, nor has 1t
evinced a strong desire to know Mon
tana's wants and meet the peoples
needs. Yet, ii official reports are true,
the floating debt has been discharged,
the road has earned modest interest on
its first mortgage bonds, these earnings
have been used for the improvement of
the line and a policy of wise extension
is promised.
Taking it all IN all, il may be wiser
to grant the proposed refunding, the
governments security being ample,
rather than to tie n road up for six
years to come. leaving it then to go into
the hands of strangers or, worst of all,
to revert to the government. At any
rate, we believe that this view is widely
held by the people of Montana.
