DR.. Montague said that the Domin-
ion had tried all forms of trade rela-
tons, from reciprocity to free trade.
All these have been dropped in IA
vor OF protection. Since the time
when protection was firmly establish
ed the country has seen more pros
perity than ever before. The speaker
pointed out that today the policy of
Canada Is to allow to come in free
all the necessities of life, but to main
tain and protect its own industries
against the world.
Il come here to tell you" contin.
ued Mr.. Montague, that no govern
ment could exist in Canada today that
does not maintain the system OF pro-
lection of Canada's industries"
Mr.. Montague then took up the sub
ject OF reciprocity between Canada
and the United States. He said
I'VE have tried at various times
to secure reciprocity treaty and
these attempts failed. Now the condi-
tions have changed. The United
SAites is developing the great fields
OF the west, and you have large ship
ments of agricultural products. Can.
ada is manufacturing products for her
own people and is trying also for a
great market
in Canada today there is no party
or no politician who is agitating for
reciprocity. and there is no great de-
sire for it,
Mr.. Long said: "The simple key
to this whole puzzle OF the protective
tariff. constructing its principles not
narrowly nor with partiality, but lib
orally and for general welfare. is from
the word 'adjustment'-the adjust.
ment OF the schedule to the needs OF
the time, shifting at reasonable in.
tervals as they shift.
I'VE already have with Canada the
reciprocity of good WILL of mutual re-
spect and mutual consciousness of our
common obligations for the welfare
of the continent OF which we two are
SO large part. And whenever, wher
ever, by more liberal uade relations
and by mutual give and take tarifI
concessions. which shall not impair
the general Industrial and CONNER
cial interests of the other side, the
general interests can be conserved
and promoted, we are for reciprocity
in that respect ALSO"

Helena. Dec. 5.--The count of the
November vote in Montana. under the
direction Of the state board OF can
vassers. which began yesterday, is
proceeding very slowI,. Only one
county was completed today, this work

greater part of the remainder Of the
week II is probable. however. that
ali preliminaries having been disposed
OF, the remainder OF the count will
progress much more rapidly. The
board decided from the start that IL
would cheek up the additions made
by the county clerks in making up the
returns, taking the vote by precincts.

in the Gootings. So far no errors have

Room for Patrons of wildwood.

The demand for cottages for 1905 is
unprecedented. More than a hundred
applications for houses have been made
already. Hotels and boarding houses
have booked more than double the
number for the coming season eve
known; one reports every o enga-
ged for every day in the whole season.
There is no greater need for more cot
tages and hotels anywhere than at
Wildwood. The fame of the resort has
spread clear across the continent and
it will be found Fore is no place where
money can be so profitably invested in
building. Those who have purchased
land in Wildwood should build houses
on it, for it will pay them, and better
than anything else. The great pier is
being rapidly built and will be the equal
of the best Oh the Atlantic coast. The
attractions of this place are SO celebra-
ted that it will he impossible to provide
accommodations unless more houses
and hotels are built to take care of the
people who are coming here. Let
there be no mistake, there must be
room for the patrons of Wildwood.
Every owner should build or we will
show we are not equal to our oppor-
tunities.

At the recent election the proposition
submitted to the voters of Wildwood
for the vacation of about twenty lots in
the park section comprising the ground
in the two lakes between Wildwood
and Cedar avenues, was lost, although
there were 81 votes cast in favor of it
and only Sc against it. The law pro-
vides that upon voting on a matter of
this kind there must be a majority of
all the votes cast recorded in favor of
the proposition. So it will be seen that
the proposition was lost by only four
votes. as there were $50 votes cast. 1t
is believed by many good citizens that
it would be a good thing for this pro-
perty to have reverted back to Baker
Brothers as they had agreed to fill in
the unsightly holes and improve the
surrounding land. No particular in
terest was taken in the matter on cleo

nounced it caused considerable surprise,
as many people expected it to be car
