"Of course, in a country as great as ours,
with such q variety of interests, often lead
ing in entirely different directions, 1t Is
difficult, if not impossible, to settle upon
perfect tariff plan. But in accomplishing
the reform We have entered upon. the neces-
sity of which is SO obvious, I believe We
should not be content with q reduction of
revenue involving the prohibition Of impor-
tations and the removal of the internal tax
upon whisky. It can be better and more
safely done within the lines of granting ac-
tusl relief to the people in their means Of
living, and at the same time giving an I'M
petus to our domestic enterprises
ana turtle ring our national welfare.
II misrepresentation Of our purposes and
motives are 20 gain credence and defeat
our present effort in this direction, there
seems to be no reason Why every endeavor
in the future to accomplish revenue reform
should not be likewise attacked and with
like results. And yet no thoughtful man
can fail to see in the continuance OF the
present burden of the People and the alb
straction by the government of the cur
rency of the country inevitable distress and
disaster. All danger win be ayerted by
timely action. The difficulty of applying
the remedy will never be less and the
blame should not be laid at the door Of the
democratic party if it is applied too late.
"With firm faith in the intelligence and
patriotism of our counfrymen, and relying
upon the convictioa that misrepresenta-
ton win not influence them, prejudice viii
not cloud their understanding. and that
urpe the peoples interest and public duty
for the vindication of our attempt to inaug-
urate righteous and beneficial reform.

Mr.. Joseph Smith, who has the
title of M. p. c., President of the
Reorganized Church OF Jesus Christ
of Latter-Day Saints, resides at
Plano, Kendall county, Ill He is
the youngest son of the prophet. and
was born in Kirkland November 6.
1882: He removed with his parents
to Missouri and Illinois, and was in
his twelfth year when his father was
killed at Nauvoo. He has been a
farmer, school director and a Justice
OF the Peace. Removing to Canton,
ILL.,, he studied law, and held various
city offices. In 1860 he began to preach
Mormonism, according to the notice
nailed on the pillar OF the Temple.
In 1866 he removed to Plano to
take charge OF the Latter Day Saints
Herald. a position which he still
retains, in connection with the Presi-
dency Of the Church. Some wears
ago Mr.. Smith wrote letter to the
effect that he was at the head OF the
anti-polygamous Mormons that the
Utah Mormons were waning in power !;
that his branch of the Mormons was
maintaining an active ministry in
Utah, and that they had hopes Of be-
ing very successful Further state
ments of Mr.. Smith were to the
effect that the various sects into
which the Mormons were broken
after leaving Kirkland were few in
numbers and very widely scattered.
In these days of combined attacks by
the Government upon the Mormon
strongholds it would not be strange if
the polygamous Mormons should
agree to drop the offensive portions
Of their religion and come back to the
primitive faith. In such case it would

we lay for months, faltering between life and

we endured for years, and will till death re-
