means the wiping out of the homes of his
people. Brigham Young used polygamy as
means to people the Utah basin. He would
never have permitted it to become the means
of, devastating the community it had helped
to build This is being permitted by Taylor
and Cannon, and for a year they have
skulked in hiding, like towards avoiding the
legal martvrdom which has fallen upon their
people. y
1t is pretty picture this, of leaders hid
ing away from hardship and leaving arrest
and Imprisonment to their followers, when
they should have been the first to court con-
viction and the dungeon for their religions 8
sake. tN s. y
Cannon has been at last apprehended, and
his son and two confederates have attempted
the assassination of the United States Dis
trict Attorney in his own house, and in the
presence of a Federal Judge. m +
When Warren Hastings had to at once
compose the quarrels of the petty Indian
nations with each other and subject them
all to Great Britain, he chose method that
has been criticised for its violence and iusti-
fed by its results. He arrested and hung
leader of the high-caste Brahmins.
Utah may be sure that violent demonstra-
tions, ending in the murder of a Federal
officer, may treat the whole church to the
rare and radiant spectacle of the members
of its first Presidency all dangling from the
same gallows .Ta. I'd ni45
: If the Mormons have any surplus spirit
to get rid of they will find a very proper
outlet by directing it against their own
leaders,, who have left them to bear the
brunt and kept out of danger. Well may
they mourn for Brigham Young, for he
would before now have had them in accord
with Federal law and in harmony with the
sentiments end practices of that civilization
which has reached, passed and about to
overgrow them. .-' eis.

reliable sources: Martha I. Cannon,
whom it is alleged was "plied with insult
ing and indecent" questions by Mr.. Dick
son, is a plural wife OF Hugh Cannon's
father George @. Cannon), but she IS not
the mother of Hugh Cannon; that dis
tinction belongs to another plural wife
named Sarah Jane Cannon. In view OF
this fact, what becomes OF the theories
advanced and statements made by the
Church organs as to the motive which
Hugh Cannon had in assaulting Mr..
Dickson? Does it not prove, beyond
controversy, that they lied like
horse-thieves, and from first to
last, by lies direct and indirect,
sought to excuse the young ruffian's con-
duct to the utmost limit, by asserting
that he was only resenting IAN insult to
the mother who bore him." notwith-
standing the fact must have been we'll
known to both the NeUs and the Herald
that Martha T. Cannon was not Hugh
Cannon's mother, and therefore he could
not have been actuated by any such mo-
tive?
Verify, for ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain, the average Church
scribe is most peculiar. and when it comes
down to good. hearty lying, the 200-de-

AS MEASURES OF VALUE.

In connection with the present agita
ton on the silver question, it is highly
important that we should have clear
and full understanding of the nature ol
| values. 4a
Adam Smith says that "labor is the
only universal, as well as the only accu-
rate, measure of value, or the only stan
dard by which we can compare the values
of different commodities at all times and
all places" 1t is not gold that measures
the values OF wheat or corn or any COM
modify, but the amount of labor required
to produce it. And it is not the intrinsic
value of gold that measures its value,
but it is subject to the same law
as any other commodity. Gold is
not any more valuable than iron,
or stone, or a potato, for anything
there is in or of it, its brilliancy, its
durability and ductility, but it is worth
more than potato because it costs more
labor to get it. Utility and ralue of gold
or any other commodity, are as different
as light from darkness, and this dis
tinction, in the discussion of this subject,
must not be lost sight Of. Articles may
be equal in value, because the same
amount OF labor was required to produce
them, but one may be far more useful
than another. When gold and silver are
left to fair competition, their value al
ways has been, and must necessarily
ever continue to be, measured, like all
other commodities, by the cost of produc-
ton. A gold dollar is worth what it
calls for because, like Il bushel of wheat,
it has cost dollars worth of labor to
produce it. sfs.TE4 asa
1t is labor in the gold, ,lor its represen-
tation Of labor, that makes it more valu-
able than a stick, or stone, or cab
bage-leaf. Outside of labor it is as value
less as Il spear of grass. Why, then,
make gold the measure of value any more
than labor, which it represents? Simply
,~AA.. Se.--uKR-Siis'A
better and more convenient measure of
value than a days work, for which it
stands. Then the whole theory is re-
duced to one of utility and convenience.
Since, therefore, it is labor that pur-
chases labor, why should not silver be
used interchangeable witt. gold as
measure of value? Our silver dollar OF
to-day is a convenient measure of value,
and it cost dollars worth of labor to
produce it. To produce silver costs
labor, and blood, and life, and the people
of the South and West do not desire to
limit its introduction in the monetary
system.
The people have organized to save it
and have it as their money, or measure
Of value, and all the talk and blarney of |
gold gamblers or their political agents
will not suffice to persuade them other
wise. tsA lEA@EN4

NOW Is THE TIME!
A aiay-or two aee.,, gentleman

city telegraphed to a Representative in
Congress and asked him what the pros

session, and inquiring if there was a
IT likelihood OF the passage of a bill EN-

came back: "You can have anything
you want, except Legislative Commits

Does not this make it clear, if the
Gentiles OF u Utlh would realize the hopes
they have SO long ,indulged ia, that now
is the time for them to be up and doing

the experience OF the past has taught
them-inust- -ba-had- -before-Utah- can
be brought into line with the

AS OTHERS SEE THE SAINTS.

The annexed article, taken from til,
San Francisco -4lta-CalJornia, show
such true appreciation and proper grasl
OF the past and present situations il
Utah that we cannot forbear transferring
the article entire to the columns of the
DEMOCRAT. The people here ought to be
made fully acquainted with the senti-
ment of the outside world as regards
them and their peculiar practices, and to
this end We commend a careful perusal
OF this article from one of the best-posted
and noSt influential journals of the Pa
cific Coast :r-, b. 49, 49,
The laws of the United sso.os for the nm
ishment and suppression of poiyoamv in
Utah have been enforced with fidelity Dy IN q
Federal officers. The leaders of the Mormon
Church have shown stubborn folly and
cowardice entirely unworthy of Brigham
Young's headship, to which they are the
paltering successors. The great President
and Prophet was man of unusual foreken
and intelligence. In its essence his whole
scheme was thoroughly material. It was
method for inducing the population of rich
wilderness and enrichjng himself. He chose
TO make religious idea the marrow of this
seheme, but it was chosen because at that
Time there was no other sentiment sufficiently
sIrong TO move the masses of men he had to
use, IN the face of difficulties and dangers
tnsy had to encounter. If the settlement of
otan mad gone along the lines of ordinary
immigration, its present state would NOT
nave been reached for hundred wears. Presi
dent foung gave poiygamy as bait to men.
and the promise of life eternal for n pluraj
wife, as an inducementS to the women. and
aside from this masquerade and pretense
hls colonization scheme had in it all the
features of most excellent business manage
ment. Had he lived, polygamy would have
been ended by this time. He would have
brought revelation and the law of Congress
together, and to have done so would have
been entirely consistent with the grand oh
lects OF his scheme for the settlement and
civilization of Utah. He knew lust when tS,
fight and just where revelation from heaven
could be used to prevent collision in which
his people were to be damaged. Fi7-a
There is no evidence that Brigham Young
ever deceived himself, but in the conduct of
his successors in the Presidency of the
Church, there are indications that he did
deceive Others, or else those others are cow
ardly and unfit leaders. lQ siI 1

castle he laid in wait for her, graspe6
her suddenly, threw her downstairs,
and found out next morning that he
had killed one of his own domestics.
Twenty years later, when Margrave
George Friedrich contemplated re-
building the Palace of Plassenburg,
the White Lady is reported to have
made such comnotion that he gave
up the idea. In 1917 Falkcnstein
says that Margrave Erdmann Phillip
of Brandenberg saw the White Lady
in his castle at Bayreuth, seated in
his own favorite chair, and that the
apparition gave him such fright
that he died two days afterward.
The mysterious presence, having
obtained great reputation in Fran
coma, then emigrated to Berlin.
Her first reported appearance in the
Prussian Capital is given as the 1st
of January, 1893, a week before the
death of Elector Johann Sigismund.
Then, the 1st of December, 1919,
she is said to have shown herself
twenty-three days before the death
of another Elector. Again she APP
peared in 1867, shortly before the
death of Princess Louise Henrietta,
and in 1858 before the death of the
Great Elector. But it would take
up too much space to record all the
appearances of the spectral lady.
The most curious account of her APP
pearance is of that recorded as hav-
ing taken place in 1899, when she
was seen by musketeer. He thus
told his experiences: He first heard
q noise, he says, such as is caused
by the rustling of the wind among
the fallen leaves. Then, out from
the wall, came great, white female
figure, with a long face, friendly
countenance and jet-black hair.
Around her neck she wore large
pearls and ornaments of gold and
precious stones. In her hand she
held an ivory staff, and upon her
breast was seen great heart,
painted blood-red, on which were
written strange characters that shone
like fire. One of the last reported
appearances of the White Lady in
Europe was in 1878, not in Berlin,
but in Vienna. But this, too, was
not the real presence, for the report
went at the time that the sentinel to
whom she suddenly appeared tried
the effect of his bayonet upon her,
and there was gentle rumor whis-
pered about Vienna at the time that
somebody" had been wounded-ir
fact, a lady belonging to the I'm.
perial court.
