PRESIDENT ARRAN HATCH,

PRESIDENT AB2AA HATCA,
from Heber City, arose to speak. He
said that of late his labors were of such
a nature that he had not time for re-
ligious study. He desired, however, to
enjoy portion of the Holy Spirit that
he might be enabled to say something
which would edify his hearers. Having
read the ten commandments given to
the children of Israel through the great
law-giver Moses, he said that those
precepts were still applicable to all
mankind, especially the Latter-day
Saints. The temporal blessings result
ing from implicit obedience to these
divine commandments superseded the
advantages which would accrue from
obedience to the civil laws which exist
on the earth at the present day. This
divine law was not only applicable to
the people as a body, but also to every
| Individual. If the people would not
| apply it to themselves, they could not
| expect to be useful instruments IN the
| upbuilAing of the church and kingdom
| of God. In commenting upon some OF
the more striking portions OF the len
| Commandments, he deplored the great
| lack of principle which characterized
so MANY who claimed to belong to the
church of God. Many of them had not
the courage at all times to tell the
truth. They feared man rather than
God. This should not be. He dwell
upon the peace and integrity which pre-
vailed in some parts of the Territory
| but IN Salt Lake he found that polics-
men aud lawyers were needed, to PEE :
serve order amongst the people. Inc
speaker was anxious that the religion
of the Latter day Saints should be 81
emplifedi by every individual IN the
church, that everywhere peace, purity
and liberty might exist in their madst
The best means for bringing about tnls
state of things was entire subjectlon tc

diligent in the discharge of their tenn
porai duties, that they should maintain
themselves by honest labor and not 6J
defrauding their neighbors. Through
out his discourse, President Hatch de-
lighted the audience by telling, IN al
amusing manner, some Incidents Whlci
occurred in his own experience, Illus
j. trating the force. of what be had SAID

was talking about whom he said that
Harrison's record on the Chinese ques-
ton would place him in an awkward
position as Republican candidate for
President of the United States.
Republican papers on the Pacific
Coast may use all the sophistry Of
specious argument to show that Ben
Harrison is and has been favorable to
this Coast in the matter of Chinese inn
migration, yet the fact remains that q
leader of the Republican party, q man
who occupies position to know what
the previous record of a former Senate
is, one who has made it his business to
inquire into the availability of Presi-
Dental candidates, asserts that Ben
Harrison is not the man to lead the Re-
publican party to victory on account of
his previous record on the Chinese
question.

FREE TRADE VS.. PROTEC.
TON.

The San Francisco Chronicle, of Sun
day, July 9Th, says:
SIN q recent issue Of Bradstreet' g
free tradel we ind this statement:
The competition is great between the
various European nations for the trade
of South American countries. Ger
many seems to be having the most sue
cess, both in displacing the goods of
other Dations, particularly England and
in opening up new lines of trade and ex-
banding old ones There must be
something wrong here. According to
the free trade theorists no protectionist
country can possibly compete with q
free trade nation in foreign markets.
Yet here is Il case of an extreme pro-
tective country driving free trade. Do
you know how it is done, Mr.. Free
TraderP If you do not we will tell you.
1t is because the workingmen of Ger
many are paid about half as much as
those of England"
In the above extract the Chronicle u.s.
aerts that 1.-THE workingmen of Ger
many are paid about half as much as
those of England" while at the same
time it designates Germany as an ex-
IRENE protective country aud England
Is free trade. Will those who claim
that high tariff gives large wages to
wolkingmen please explain how it is
that free trade England pays its labor
ers twice the wages paid in protected
Germany? If the claim of protection
lists were true the rule would be re-
versed and the laborers of England
would get twice the wages received by
che German wage workers.; but if the
Chronicle. the great exponent of Re-
publicanism OH the Pacific Coast, is
correct, its argument proves conclusive.
Ay that the tariff has nothing to do with
tAe wages of the laborer. but that, like
everything else. the price of labor ia
governed by the memorable law of sup
ply and demand.
We trust that the Sunday Chronicle
will be read carefully by every working
lnan on the Pacific Coast, as it is one
OF the best arguments against the Re-
publican doctrine Of protection that We
have seen; for while the Republican
party Is frantic in it's endeavors to prove
that the higher the tariff duties on i'm
ports the higher the wages, the Chroni-
Gle comes ont boldly and asserts that
wages ere twice as high in free trade
En- gland as in protected Germany.
