TARIFF rALK.

Here is tariff talk that has the true
ring II is from f. p. Williams, we'll.
known business man Of New York City
AS an illustration Of the practical re-
suits to the nation of tariff for revenue
only, the official records at Washington
show that from 1864 to 1888 the United
states imported from Great Britain over
1000 900. 600 pounds Of sheet iron. coated
with tin and lead and tin. known as tin
plates and 'terne or roofing plates
while practically none have been made in
the United States, solely because the
rates of duty have been non-protective
The net result to the nation is officially
reported to be rs follows, viz:
IMPORTATION or TIN AND rRREE PLATES TO
THg UNITED STATES FROM 1864 TO 1899.
FOREIGN values paid for them

states Treasury, $500. 1864, soe. so

Of American wealth intwenty five years
which would have been kept here had the
duties been protective, as they have been
ON steel rails and other forms of iron and
stqel no easier made TO the above loss
must be added the amount Of freights
paid to foreign steamship companies and
assurances paid TO foreign insurance
companies amounting to millions Of
dollars.
Estimated at the cost prices to Ameri-
can consumers for these articles, the
American business in British tin and
terne plates is not less now than
$50, 900, 600 per annum. With idle blast
furnaces and rolling mills, and workmen
unemployed the United States last year
gave to Great Britain enough business in
these timed and loaded iron sheets to
have supported over 100, 600 American
workers directly in their production, and
paid TO British manufacturers $40 033. 934
for materials Of dishonest and miserable
quality, as is testified to by American
consumers generally, far inferior to Whist
they would get with international com
petition as a result Of equitable protec-
ton
Food canned in British tin is often
poisonous; tin cups and other household
tin utensils are VIGOROUSLY Of miserable
quality; tin roofs made of British terne
plates are short lived and need constant
repairs. The American people should de-
mand from Congress now the enactment
Of adequate protective duties to keep this
wealth at home and shield them from
continued foreign Cheap John swindling
through meanly coated tinware and
worthless tin roofing. BY developing
home production satisfactory quality and
honest coating can be demanded and Sc
cured.
Commercial treason in the Mills bill
removes the dnty entirely and win in
crease the profits of British manufac-
turers at the expense Of American con
sumers.
THE national loss was really over
$500, 600 0Oo, because foreigners always
add the revenue only duty to their price
when there is no American competition.
Revenue only duties operate practically
as direct tax on American buyers. Pro.
tective duties on the contrary cheaper
foreign cost and operate as toll on
foreign makers of competing products"

tomb is now located in corner of a city
lot not far from the big temple whose
foundations he laid. There is no ceme-

same lot are those Of his family Two of
his best beloved wives lie near by and
the marble slab over one Of these was
erected by the children. The relief
above Brigham Young's grave is sur
rounded by an iron fence. The block of
granite which covers it bears no inscrip-

lies beneath was in the bushel or so of
faded bouquets and withered roses which
are lying upon this slab.

The Mormons partake Of the Sacrament
OF the Lords Supper every Sunday, and
IN front OF the elders on table were six
silver pitchers of the ordinary size and
about dozen silver goblets These pitch
ers were filed with water, for the Nor
mons never use wine at the Lords Sup
per. The bread was handed around in
silver cake baskets and was broken up
into bits about an inch square by a num-
Der OF leading Mormon men who stood at
the table to do so. After HYMN and
prayer the giving of the Sacrament be-
gan. The bread was blessed by one of
the elders and half dozen or more took
the baskets and began to distribute it.
After this the water was passed around
IN the same way. noticed that all par
took, even to the babies, and at a Sunday
school which l attended | saw the Sacra-
ment in this way administered to the
children Until child is years old the
Mormons regard him not accountable. and
they consider him as having the right to
the Sacrament up to this time without
baptism. After this time he must be
baptized to partake of it.
1t took about an hour and half to dis
tribute the bread and water. and during
this time the elder was preaching. The
preacher in this case was the foreman of
ono of the machine shops in Salt Lake
City, and ! am told that the Mormons do
not believe in educating men for the
ministry. ANY one can preach who feels
called upon to do so, and they believe the
Lord gives the preachers inspiration while
they are in the pulpit. The preacher
on Sunday made references to Joseph
Smith as prophet of the Lord and pro-
claimed the doctrines of the Latter Day
Saints in such words that all in the house
could hear. He was well listened to. and
the good behavior of the audience, includ-
ing the babies, was remarkable.

1t is now forty-one years since Brigham
Young brought his wagon train over the
mountains to Salt Lake. He laid out Salt
Lake City when it was in desert and it
was due to his genius that the territory
and city prospered as they have. Brig
ham Young had remarkable executive
ability and at the same time a remarkable
mind for planning and for grasping ques-
tions in all their details. He amassed a
fortune while he was at the head of the

years In litigation, which / am not GER

There has lately been a great deal OF
noise and clamor made by the enemies Of
American industries in regard to what
they call the war tariff They assail
the custom duties and defend the internal
taxes. This is characteristic Of the dis
organizers Of industry, and illustrates
the style and scope of their logic. The

which were adopted in 1862 If there
