ST.. PAUL, May 26.-The weather is clear
and cool. Throughout the state wheat
seeding is completed except in the extreme
northern parts of Red River valley. New
ly sown grain looks well. Corn planting
which was delayed by late rains is going
on rapidly. The prospect for wheat is
unusually good so far; other grains are be-

THE SYRACUSE CONVENTION

The nomination of Mayor Cleveland OF Buff
falo for Governor by the Democratic Conven-
ton means hard work or the Republicans. Mr.
Cleveland is young, able, and has clean re-
cord. lie is popular in his section of the state.
He has been remote from the local qunrrels
in the City of New ork, and all factions here
can. ard doubtless will, support him heartily.
Yesterdays convention means a united Dem
ocratic party, with all that that implies. There
must be. united Republican party to face it,
if the Republican ticket is TO be elected this
fall.
Therefore We think it good time to suggest

Deputy Sheriff Hill. of Brooklyn, is man
whom it will pay the lawbreakers across inc

in time of need. On Saturday last tins obllg-
inc official allowed one Whalen, prisoner
but personal friend, to go home, on the
promise that he should appear yesterday wheh
he was to be tried. In true Damon and Pythlas
STYLE Whalen was there when bis name was
called. Although he was the right man ne was
in the wrong place, for he sat among the
spectators when he ought to have been IN the
prisoners pen. The explanation when
necessarily ensued may cost the friendly
deputy sheriff his place. Friendship is beautl-
full, but it is most ornamental in the unofficial
relations OF lite.
Among the unhappy delegates returning
from Syracuse there are none whose hearts
are more deeply torn with anguish than the
mon from Brooklyn. Under the leadership OF
Mr.. Jacobs the delegation worked hard for
the admission of Tammany, confidently ex-
prctng that all the votes at Mr.. Kelly's dis
posal would be cast in favor of their candidate.
With pleasing frankuess they declared that
they were after 10000 votes for General
Slocum and would submit to any Humiliation
rather than lose them. Tammany got in; but
she distributed her votes as she pleased. The
Kings County Democrats now have another
proof of John Kelly's treac4cry Certainly

one is in 1t when "A train passes through to

one of the recesses made in the walls for that
purpose. Yesterday the locomotive engine OF

THE FARMER AND PROTECTION

THE FARMER AND PROTECTION.
The free traders fond of telling the
farmers how much protection Injuries them
and how much better off they would be un-
der free trade. The theory as presented by
free trade orators and writers is plausible, but
the facts appear to be against it, The Chi
cago Inter Ocean presents some figures bear
ing upon this question which ought to receive
general and careful attention.
From the Inter. Oceans tables it appears
that agricultural staples ranged six per cent.
higher and manufactured articles and fuel
thirty per cent. lower from 1876 to 1880 than
from 1916 to 1850. If it can be shown that
bushel of wheat purchased more from 1876
to 1880 under protection than it did from
1916 to 1850 under practically free trade, it
will appear to most people that protection is
not damage to the farmers, but rather
profitable The facts show with great clear
ness that protection profits home production
IN every branch. The figures show that
from 1916 to 1850 bushel of wheat would
buy less than sack of SALT or 422 pounds of
coal. From 1876 to 1880 a bushel of wheat
would buy nearly two sacks of salt, or 719
pounds of coal. During the former period a
oushel OF wheat would buy eight and one
half yards of bleached sheeting, or twelve
yards of calico, or one hundred and seven
pounds of pig iron. This was under free
trade. But under the protective policy from
1876 to 1880, bushel of wheat would DUR
chase eleven yards of sheeting, or sixteen
yards of calico, or 1874 pounds of pig iron
The same measure of wheat during five years
of free trade purchased thirty-five pounds of
bar iron, while during five years of protec-
ton it purchased fifty SO zen pounds of the
same product. Taking seven leading articles
the average gain in the purchasing power of
a bushel of wheat under protection was about
forty five per cent.
Under free trade ten pounds of butter mr.
chased one and one-tenth sacks of salt or
sixty pounds of coal Under protection it
purchased three and four-tenths sacks of salt
or one hundred and fifty three pounds of
coal In free trade days the ten pounds of
butter was good for ten yards of sheeting.
Now 1t is good for twenty yards. Then the
butter would buy fifteen yards of calico, and
now 1t purchases thirty yards. From 1s46
TO 1850 ten pounds of butter bought about
forty-f pounds of bar iron. while from
1876 to 1880 it purchased one hundred and
eight pounds of the same product OF the
seven staples protected by considerable du-
ties not one costs the consumer as much to-
day as it cost him under the tariff of 1s46.
The price of farm produce has advanced, and
the price of protected products of which
most complaint is made has fallen under the
protective system. How, then, does protec-
ton injure the farmer

wife Treated Another.


political convention, in which q portion
of the delegates are females, would be very
odd affair to our eastern friends, but here in
Utah it is considered the proper thing on the
part of the dominant church party. In the
convention of the Mormon party, which has
held sessions at various times last week,
there were two female delegates to represent
in part one precinct in this city Both
come under the clause in the Edmunds bill,
and are debarred of any right to vote be-
cause of their polygamous relations. One is
a very aged woman, and she told In a speech
she made to the convention last Thursday
night, that she had been with her brethren
driven in the early days of Normonism from
place to place. until she came to Utah with
the pioneers, where she has since resided and
labored in the interest of the church. We
told that she has been a leader among
the women of Utah in advocacy and perpetu
alton of polygamy, and that she has prac-
ticed it by having her husband enter the ''ce-
lestial beastliness. While she upholds her
husband in this crime, and tramps the coun-
try over advocating the doctrine OF the chief
tenet of the Mormon church, she has shown
a brutal disposition toward the victims of her
husbands lust in a way we would not look
for from SO earnest an advocate of polyga-
my. We told by reliable authority that
upon recent occasion, when one of the
young wives of the husband of this apostle
of poly gamy gave birth to a child, she was
AoA1 Ih u AotpleSS CouulttOu, WIFI no one TO
wait upon her, and show that tender care and
provide such comforts as she required, ex.
cept that some GENTLE neighbors went and
kindly did for the woman what was denied
her by those who had persuaded her into
this unholy marriage relation. This modern
exponent of Mormon polygamy, and politi-
cal manipulation in Mormon conventions,
would not go near that young wife or her
own husband, and more than that, issued or
ders to her own daughters that they must
not do anything for that mother to make her
comfortable in her hour of sickness. We
speak of this incident as another evidence
| that in every case of polygamous marriage
| there is deep seated jealousy among the
| women, which they in their natures canno,
| subdue. This jealousy often prompts then
| to convince young girls to become victims il
polygamy that the green eyed monster" il
| their bosoms may be appeased. This spiri
prompts them to become PROGRESSES in tn,
interest of the institution so long fostered il
| the Mormon church, and nerves them Il
bear up under their own sorrow, that the,
may enjoy the qualification of a demon il
| seeing the torture of members of their owl
sex whom they may wish to affiiot.
