customs at New York. The case involved the
question whether an importation Of Sumatra

CONTEYPTIBLE.

what contemplate proceeding that
was at the barge Office, New York, Thurs
DAY morning, when under the inspiration
and direction of the Immigration authori-
ties raid was made upon the company of
Mormon Immigrants bound for Utah to in
duce them to deny their faith and abandon
their purpose of coming to this territory !
Oh course the effort failed That would
necessarily be the case The immigrants
were not idiots and fools. They were in
tellgent and quite as much so as the aver
age foreigners who come to this country.
The religion which they had accepted and
professed was not a mere passing fancy
with them. Men and women of sense do
not lightly adopt a new faith, and breaking
up home, as lightly set out on journey of
',OO0 miles to lind new abiding places. 1t
requires pretty firm conviction to Induce
people co do as the Mormon immi-
grants now en- route for this terri
Icy have done-a conviction so firm
That 1t cannot pc removed by few hours
solicitation and barranguing.
But isn't il shame that the Mormon
immigrants should be singled out for an
Ivy SliCS anu ABUSE by Jne government OIL
ticials. AS good class of people as come
to America are the Mormons. They pos
sess as many of the virtues and are afflicted
with as few of the vices as any other They
at once become good citizens, adding
strength and wealth to the nation While
they are poor, they are not paupers, and
never become public charge. They are
wealth producers, and many of
them are soon found to be in
tue ranks of the more progressive people
in the communities where they settle. If
all the immigrants were like the Mormons
this country would have little cause to
complain against Europe for using America
as dumping ground for its criminal, pau
per and undesirable classes generally.
the government officials having failed to
keep the Wyoming company out on the
grounds that they were paupers or Grimm
ais or that they came here under contract
TO labor, and the missionaries having failed
in their lab0rs to persuade the Saints to
deny their faith, the company is now en-
route for this territory.

TRADE Is NECESSARY.

Protection papers are pointing out tia
America needs TO fear nothing in regard to
European retaliation on account of the Nc
KINLEY bill. They show that this country
brings from Europe about one-half of orr
total impcrtadons, or s3t1.0oO,Oo0 out of
the total OF S7+5,00O0O0 yearly imports.
And of the products we bring from Europe
nearly half are ''luxuries,' which the
American people, they say. can get along
very well without We take from Europe.
say the protectionists, only clothes, fabrics
and fancy articles, a nd wines, spirits, Jew
elry, gloves, buttons and feathers, (which
are in no sense necessary" while we send
to Europe oreadstuffs, meats. light nipple
ments, tools, engines aud a thousand other
necessities of life or of production.
1t is therefore concluded by these
wise fools that we can dispense with
European trade, while Europe cannot dis
pensc with American trade
| This is much as if Il farmer should saw.
Il supply mankind with food, which people
must have while other people supply me
with cloth and iron, which can get along
without. will therefore stop trading with
other people, Any one can see that the
farmers folly would injure himself quite
as much as it would injure others; but
when it comes to applying the same reason
ing to nation that decides not to sell ne
ccssitics in order to purchase comforts and
Injuries, many get confused and seem to
think this reasoning less valid on a large
than on a small scale. Yet, there is no es
sential difference. The farmer could. by
great labor supply himself with clothes.
hat and shoes, but in order TO do so. he
would have to spend half his
time in workshop instead of
in his field. He would not be so well
clothed, and he would have to work harder
to get his clothes than he did by devoting
his whole attention to his farm; but he
have to spin, his sons and daughters would
have to work till late at night by the
chimney corner plying the shears aud
needle, while he and his hired man must
become a shoemaker, halter, smith and
nail maker, in order to live at all. His
family would be supported by an enormous
development of "home industry" and
would live much like savages in spite of all
this extra work. And all this because the
farmer took it into his head not to sell his
slrplus--the crops that himself and family
and his horses, cows and pigs, could not
consume. He determined to stop raising a
surplus, in order to be what he foolishly
called ''self- supporting" He refused to
let others work for him and preferred to do
the work himself; he wanted work, not

A POOR MEMORY.

Its an old proverb tina. certain class Of
people should have good memories; but il
is not often that people of this class have a
memory of much better kind than their
conscience Accordingly, our down town
neighbor frequently affords good ilusira
ton of the vice, and is also warning
against the practice, of prevarication. And
just as an ancient man of high virtue ex-
hibited to his sons drunken man as for
chile lesson in temperance, so we exhibit a
sample of our morning contemporary
criminal folly "a warning to those who
are innocent of falsehood.
In attempting to account for the fact that
exports from this country, including
gold = and silver have exceeded
imports to the extent of $1,650, 000, OOp,
in fifteen years, showing that this amount
of wealth must have been driven abroad
into foreign investments, the truthful organ

nearly all of the for sign debt IS paid, This
country has been ying the debt at just about
the rate that the rate the balance of trade has
seemed to be in its favor. The balances instead

One story is told when the sheet is corneie l
IN tho sshalanno of trod q no oDpoc;te 90,
is told when the sheet is cornered on the
decline of farming in this country.
The only further remark we need to
make is that neither of the stories is true
The government bonds are held by all PEG,
pie, by foreigners and by citizens.
This story telling is good illustration of
the protectionist's position; he has no Ger
tain ground, no fixed principles. He lodges
about from one sDbterfuge to another in
the hope of disgusting his more manly sd-
versary, the tariff reformer, who stands
on no uncertain ground, and does not fee
from pillar to post at every advance OF his
foe.
One story is good until another story is
told. In endeavoring TO show how the de-
monetization Of silver permitted all occupe-
tions except farming to flourish in this
country Gan absurd fancy, the same sheet
said:

ILLiTERATE VOTERS.

The Mississippi constitutional convention
has adopted an educational restriction of
voters, which reads as follows:
On and after the first day of January, A. D.
1895 the following qualifications are added to
the foregoing: Every qualified elector shall be
able 10 read any section of the constitution Of
the state, or he shall be able to understand the
same when read to him, or give a reasonable in
depreciation thereof. A new registration shall
be made before the next ensuing election
after these qualifications are established.
1t will be seen that for the next six years
the illiterate adults may vote, after which
time they must be able to stand one of the
prescribed tests before voting 1t is an i'm
portant step and may carry grave conse-
quences. There is nothing essentially bad
in the educational section except the lati-
tude it seems TO give to those who will Ell
force l.. If only the applying voters can be
shielded in their rights, we know of no in
superable objection to an educational test
for electors; but there are serious possibil-
tiles of evil in defining too nicely the quail
hcations for manhood suffrage.

THE BRUSSELS newspaper, independence
Beige, says the new tariff law insures the
failure of the worlds fair at Chicago, as il
will be needless and hopeless expense for
Europeans to send exhibits here. The Beige
probably overdraws the case, but tho pas
sage of the bill will undoubtedly have an
Injurious effect on the fair. Europeans
will not be eager to SO to the trouble and
expense of making display of their wares
simply for our dedication AS the new law
will bar those wares from this country no
benefit can accrue to Europeans from exhi-
biting their goods. However, as Congress
was determined upon combining American
trade and commerce to America the failure
of the fair as an international exhibition is
proper.

IDAHO.

TIE HERALD is in no sense surprised by
the Republican victory in Idaho. Had
the result been otherwise there would have
been astonishment There was an under
standing, bargain with the Republicans
in Congress that the state should be given
over TO the party as the price OF its admis-
sion to the union, and the bargain has been
kept. Considering that the Republicans
had all power in their hands and
were in absolute control of the
election machinery, and taking into
account the past record Of some of their
leaders for crooked work at the polls and in
the manipulation of ballot boxes, the Dem
ocrats are TO be congratulated that thew
were permitted TO make SO good a showing.
The Mormons, as usual, gave the lie to
their traducers. The Republican press and
campaign spouters have persistently as
serted that the Saints intended to vote. and
TO vote the Democratic ticket. These
assertions were made in face of
the fact that the Mormons declared
they would not offer to vote, and said that
IF they had the privilege of the ballot they
would not exercise it in behalf of the Demo-
Gratis. The Mormons made no attempt to vote
contenting themselves with watching those
who had deprived them of the ballot fight
each other.
The Republican state ticket has been sue.
cessful, and the party will have absolute
coutrol of the legislature, the
Democrats in the body being so
few in number that they will
scarcely be able to annoy the opposition.

The ADJOURNMENT of Congress without
passing the EDMUNDs bill for the disposal
OF the personal property of which the gov
vernment robbed the Mormon church,
leaves that immense steal in a complicated
condition. The theft being consummated
the United States supreme court could find
no law for disposing of the plumber, hence
laid the matter over in the hope that Con-
gress would provide way for
getting rid of the spois. The
court will meet again this month
when it will find itself in the same dilemma
which existed last spring; that is to say.
the stolen goods are on hand and the theft
has been in sense approved by the court,
but there is no way open for disposing of
the booty. The court is in a predicament.
To extricate itself will require heroism
almost equal to that which declared that
the confiscation of the personal property of
the Mormon church was lawful, although
there existed not a syllable OF law suggest
ing such confiscation

results: he wanted toll, not leisure
He would not permit others to 90 work for
him that would take him five days to &C
complish, but which one days labor on the
farm would pay for, not he. He wanted to
be ''self supporting and stopped working
one day on the farm in order to work five
days in the shop for exactly the same re-
suit.
So with the nation This country could
get along without permitting the people of
other countries to work for US. If we will
only work hard enough and long enough we
can make all the articles which ''pauper
labor" now makes for US. We can run the
paupers out of thar occupation and do their
work if we will only abandon our own work
in order to do so. We can lower ourselves
to the level of the foreign pauper if we will
only consent to do the work the foreign
pauper does If we will only stop
doing the work for which we are
fitted-the farming, manufacturing
mining and commerce we are now engaged
in-in order to DO that kind of work for
which we are not fitted, the particular
kinds of work done by European paupers-
we can no QOu Ot drive IutHl from tnelr Oc-
cupation, just as a mechanic might drive
rag picker from his occupation if be chose
TO do so.
But though we could do this pauper work.
though we could get along without Euro
pean trade, without letting the European
paupers work for us, yet it will not pay US
to do so. The product of one days work
at our present occupations purchases the
product of two or three days. work of the
European pauper. Why disturb this ar
rangement so profitable to uss AL our
capital is engaged. Not a single man can
be put at pauper labor without taking him
away from some nobler aud better paid oc-
cupation. The paupsr industries displace
the nobler ones. They do not furnish ad-
ditional industries, buta change in the kind
OF industry. They furnish work for our
men; that is, new kind of work, but they
DO not furnish wages. They increase work
ana decrease wages. They change the di-
rection of labor and capital, but they dimin
ish the efficiency of both. They increase
the amount of work necessary for the ac-
complishment of certain result. Protec-
ton is step towards savagery.
