THE &. Il. Il G.. RAILWAY.

The favor with which the proposition
to connect Castle with Great Falls by
rail is received by the people here and
all along the line. augurs well for the
speedy completion of the enterprise.
Few cities in the entire west are so favor
ably located as is Great Falls to take adj
vantage of opportunities to cxalt their
importance and advance their interests
and prosperity. There is one presented
to this city in this railroad connection
which would be considered a God send
by others in the state. Nature has not
been over kind to them, They are shut
out by interposing barriers. The way is
smoothed for Great Falls. 1t has only
to reach out and gather in that for
which others will vainly struggle. The
ease with which the prize may be gained
should not, however. lessen it's value in
the eyes of our people. A railroad con-
nection with Castle will be a big thing
a great thing for every resident of this
city. This fact seems to be fully ap-
preciated, and hence we say the favor
With which the enterprise is regarded
augurs well for it's speedy completion.
Advantage will be taken of the oppor-
tunity which the favorable location of
Great Falls gives it. The railroad must
be built; it will be built.

Cor. SANDERS may have introduced
his North Montana land district bill at
the earnest solicitation Of Fort Benton
people, but in determining the bounda-
ries Of the proposed district it was not
necessary for him to hug the city limits
Of Great Falls and take in the major
portion of the surveyed lands to the
west of it, lying in Cascade county, thus
forever estopping this city andIcounty
and contiguous territory from obtaining
a land office and district for themselves.
The fine Italian hand of an ardent friend
of Helena is seer in the draft Of Colonel
Sanders bill.

The decision Of the house committee
of ways and means to move in the line OF
revenue reform is consistent with the
record of the democratic party. From
the time of jefferson the father of
democracy-to the present day, the
party has opposed high protective tariffs
1t cannot now abandon a position it has
so long held, and it would not if it coul !.
The first platform of the democratic
party, then called republican," was
adopted ninety-two years ago, when
Jefferson was first elected president.
One of the resolutions read: "Free
commerce with all nations, political con-
~nection with none, and little or no
diplomatic establishment This reso-
luton was in complete harmony with
the Declaration of Independence, which
embodies the principles of free trade. In
his first message to congress Mr.. Jeffer-
son said that: agriculture, manufac-
lures, commerce and navigation, the
four pillars of our prosperity, are most
thriving when left free to individual en-
terprise.' That was good doctrine then;
the democratic party holds it is good
doctrine now. 1t is true that small i'm
port duties were levied on some articles.
but they wer, nominal. In 1892, just
100 years ago, the average rate of duties
was 1l.54 per cent. In 1915 the average
rate was G.Si per cent. The next year
the average rate was raised to ~ per
cent to meet the demands of the war,
which had just been closed. In 1918
the averge rate was reduced to 1918 per
cent. The ''war tariff of that period
was maintained only two years. This
was under democratic rule.
Now let us look at the picture pre-
sented under the ascendency of the re
publican party. When that party came
into power in 1861 the average duties
were 18.48 per cent. The next spring
lSG2-the average rate was raised to
1920 per cent. and since then the in
crease in the average rate has continued
with amazing regularity until today, un-
der the Mckinley bill, it is something
over GO per cent. During all these years
the democratic party has been fighting
republican extravaganza and republican
protective tariffs. The house committee
on ways and means preserves the con-
%sistency of the democratic party in it's
attempt to force a reduction of tariff
rates; IN other words, to reduce the bur
den of tariff taxation which falls so
heavily upon the shoulders of the labor
ing men of the country.

A ~MILLIONAIRE MAKER.

A few men have become very wealthy
through fortunate speculations in min
ing properties. Numbers-not large
trot in the millionaire class through sue
cess in mining operations. A greater
number owe their millions to early in
vestments in real estate. Men who have
thus acquired great wealth owe not one
cent of it to the tariff. Every dollar has
been made without the aid of congress
sional enactments. Money will continue
to be made in mining operations and in
investments in real estate whether we
have a high protective tariff, or a tariff
for revenue only, or free trade.
But the great majority of the million
airs of today did not make their mil
lions from the riches of the surface or
the bowels of the earth. They made
them from the sweat of the brows Of
other men. They made them through
the operations of a most burdensome
tariff. That is the millionaire maker of
the age. The man who can get on the
ground floor where the tariff machine is
working will soon add the six cyphers to
one of the nine digits. Here is the way
it is done as shown by the figures Of the
statisticians of Massachusetts which are
given to the public, and what
is true in Massachusetts is true in
the other New England manufacturing
states. We reproduce "A few Of the fig
uras as they appear in the New York
World:
I'm Massachusetts alone LAO manu-
featuring establishments. employing
172.9S5 hands, make a profit of 54GS per
year on each hand.
The Hamilton Wooden Manufactur-
ing company of that state declared divi-
dends on sl,OO0,OOO. amounting to 431a
per cent. in n year.
"The Lancaster Manufacturing com
pany paid dividends Of 57H per cent. in
one year.
"The Lowell machine shops paid back
to its stockholders within three years all
the money they invested (S9OO,OOO) and
$4,000 more in dividends, amounting
in the three years to 14O per cent"
In view Of the above is it surprising
that poverty is the rule and not the ex-
among the toilers in the land?
Can it be expected that the people of
the country will longer uncomplainingly
suffer while a handful of pampered ia.
vorites are daily adding to their millions
the unequal operation of the
tariff: All the enormous profits noted
above are wrenched from the overwork-
ed laborers of the country. 1t is time
to call a halt and put the brake on that
merciless millionaire maker--a high pro
.ectlve tariff.

In a recent contribution to the New
York World Count Leo Tolstoi draws ar
appalling picture of the famine stricken
districts OF Russia. He says the com
plete failure of tho rye crop was the first
cause of suffering which was afterwards
augmented by official apathy. And now
that the Russian government has real,
lied the extent of the great calamity
that has overtaken its people it finds
itself unable to cope with the situation.
What adds to it's horror is the scarcity
of pigweed, which forms the principal
ingredient in the vile compound called
hunger bread" which barely sustains a
wretchcd existence. The poor people
are in a terrible condition. as pcstilence
is following close upon the heels of the
famine.

THE democratic members of the house
ways and means committee propose to
make no inconsiderate movement in
dealing with the tariff. Bills will be in
troduced amending some of it's sched-
ules. One OF two may be accepted and
passed by the senate. If so well and
good. If not the republican party will
be put entirely upon the defensive in the
ensuing presidential campaign. The
people will hold it responsible for the
failure of its representatives to reduce
tariff burdens and with them that party
must square itself.
