permit things to go on as they are gong.
1t would be better to have but single
standard than to make money of metal
which is subject in price to the DEGREES OF
SPECTATORS, and subject in coinage to the
whim of an unfriendly secretary OF the
treasury. 1t would be far better to at once
declare silver mercantile product, like
iron, lead and copper, than to continue 1t
as coin metal when it shall please some
official to make it coin and as trading
commodity when it shall please that official
to so decree. There should be free coinage
of silver or no coinage of silver. There
can be no compromise, no middle ground,
and fair and honest silver money. Silver
must be money or it must be commodity.
1t cannot be both and be respectable at the
same time
We are not at all sorry for those mis-
guided mine-owners who were so eager to
see the bill through Congress !; nor can we
sympathize with those fanatic editors who
blindly advocated the bill because it was q
party measure; but we are sorry for the
people who wanted and asked for more
money and stable, non speculative silver
coinage. We do sympathize with the
masses who have been cheated and de-
frauded by the humbug party. We regret
that the great mining industry must con
tinue TO suffer by reason of ignorant and
corrupt law making.

that these free people should be distran-
chised. because he pretends to believe that
will not always be the case. He asks, "Is
that to be the rule of the church for all
times" And assuming that it will not
always be the rule, he asks that the Nor
mons be DISTINGUISHED. That is, the Nor
mons, whom he admits now to be as free
in politics as his own constituents,
should be DISTINGUISHED, because to his
mind it is not certain that they
will always be as independent as they
now are. Here is his proposition: Disfran-
chise these people: their acts are good
enough now, but the time may come when
they will not be free in political matters, so
disfranchise them now in order to make

FREEDOM THE ESSENTIAL OF OUR GOV
ERNMENT

More than one hundred years ago our
fathers conceived that man was capa BILE of
self government; and in the organization
of their government they placed the gov
erning power in the hands of the governed.
In the declaration of their independence
they proclaimed their creed to be that all
men were created equal, that they were
endowed by their Creator with certain in
alienabs rights; that governments were
instituted to secure these rights, and that
no government could be just that did not
come from the governed.
The foundation stone upon which the
whole superstructure was erected-the
stone which all former builders rejected
was liberty. Absolute liberty is freedom
from all restraint. Freedom to do what
ever we please that does not violate the
equal rights of another. 1t is this inesti-
mable blessing that all governments ought
to secure, and, in organizing its powers, to
prevent it from violating the rights it was
intended to grant, the builders established
by written constitution limitations beyond
which it could not pass. They knew that
in every society some persons would be
found who would violate the equal rights
of others and that government was neces-
sary to protect the right and restrain and
punish the wrong doer, but they knew toe
that governments were more dangerous
wrong doors than individuals, and to guard

POOR SILVER.

The Democrats in Congress are receiving
a grand vindication. Silver is steadily de-
clining in price 1t has reached the point
where it stood when it became probable
that the silver bill would become law. 1t
has not, however, gone down as low as it
will CO. The spectators are at work, and
they are masters of the situation. They
chuckled during the discussion of the bill,
but kept quiet. When the bill passed they
laughed openly, and they have ever since
been splitting their sides with merriment
over the manner in which the miners and
the people were trapped. There has never
been day since the law went into opera
ton that the enemies of the white metal
could not put up or reduce the price at will.
There never will be day while that law is
in effect that the gold interest will be un-
able to fix the price of silver in spite of the
producers of silver, in spite of the people
generally, in spite of Congress itself
There was never a time when the secre-
tary of the treasury was in better control
of silver or better able to manipulate it to
its own injury and to the benefit of gold
After next July the secretary's powers
will be enlarged, for the coinage will cease
and instead Of two million silver dollars be-
ing minted every month, silver in bars will
be piled up in the treasury vaults and
silver coins will be issued only as they may
be required for small change. The law is
a vicious thing. and those men of intelli
gence who advocated it knew that it was
vicious. Mr.. WINDOW, who has always
been a pronounced enemy to silver, stood
back of the bill, hoping to fool the country
with it, and knowing all the time that il
would accomplish his purpose of depreciat
ing silver and leave the goldites and
spectators in a much better position than
they were before. The Democrats pro.

receiving. The voters will understand on.

THE TAX ON TIN.

In defense of the new duty on tin, which
which will cost the people S15,000,000 a
year for the next seven years, over the
price at which people in other countries
will get the same amount of tin, the Tribune
says. ''It is not settled question that we
have not in this country plenty of TIM
That may be true, but S15,000,000 year
for seven years is rather expensive way
of finding out whether or not there is tin
in the Black Hills. Because we have tin
in our mountains is no very good reason
why we should pay more for that article
than people pay in countries that have no
tin.
The tin protection levies tax of about
one hundred millions of dollars upon the
whole people, in order that a half dozen
corporations may experiment on an untried
industry.
1t is said that this industry will attract
foreign capitalists because of the high
profits the tariff guarantees, which means
that our people are to be taxed in order to
til the pockets of foreign manufacturers,
the compensation being that the capitalists
will pay wages to our men out of the tariff
protection they are to receive.
For every cent paid in wages, the foreign
capitalist who brings his plant, and prob
ably his men also, into this country, will
receive two cents by reason of the tariff.
We shall pay this foreigner two dollars col
lected from the people, and he will kindly
return one dollar of it in wages, probably
to men he will bring over with him.
Congressman BUrTERwoRTH's remark is
significant: There is not family in the
land, there is not a person in the United
to whom it will not be a burden, although
my friend from Michigan says it does not
amount to anything, for there is only "a

THE VACANT ASSOCIATE JUsTIoEsHIp.

The death of Associate Justice MILLER
creates vacancy on the supreme bench,
and already the newspapers are nominating
men for the place. Numerous names have
been mentioned, many of them of promi-
nent lawyers OF admitted ability and
national reputation. Some of the journals,
however, say that the position will be
given to Attorney General MILLER. When
Judge WOODS seat was to be filled last year,
MnLER's name was prominently mentioned,
and it was understood that the President
had made up his mind to appoint his law
partner. The decent portion of the
press took the matter up and
protested against the appointment
and did it in such a vigorous manner that
it is believed the President was alarmed
into changing his mind. At any rate the
attorney general was permitted to retain
his position and Judge BREWER, clean,
reputable man, was elevated to the supreme
benchd. The country heaved sigh of re
lief, plainly testifying to the fact that it
rejoiced at the narrow escape it had had
from an awful infusion. At that time
many objections were raised against At
torney General MILLER, the chief of which
was that he had just removed the chief
justice of Utah (SANDFoRD). because the
latter was not thouSht to be in harmony
with the ''policy" of the administration.
Both HARRISON and MILLER were severely
scared for their utterances and actions in
that case, the condemnation being bised
on the confession of the officials that they
had policy other than the fair and honest
Interpretation of the law, which policy
must be observed by judges, or departed
from at their peril. Nothing which this
administration has done created a greater
sensation or aroused deeper indignation
than did the removal of Chief Justice
SANFORD for no other reason than that he
was not in harmony with the policy of
the administration.
The objection then raised to placing At
torney- General MILLER on the supreme
bench still exists, and ought to be urged
now as vigorously as it was when the
President formerly thought of outraging
decency and in defiance of the policy
which other Presidents had pursued OF
naming only learned lawyers for justice:
of the supreme court, was about to elevate
the lofty position of associate justice. Per
sonal friendship on the part of the Presl-
dent ought not to go to the length of putting
such man as MILLER on the supreme bench
1t would be almost scandalous. so Ii TIL,
is the man qualified for the duties of tn,
exalted Office, so little does he know of tn,
law and so narrow and partisan are hi
ideas.
This country is filled with lawyers WHIT
would be credit to the court and in WHOM
everybody would have absolute conf
dence. There is not city in the uniol
which has not many men who would max
better judges than the attorney general
who had so little fame in the law that
was unknown outside of Indianapolis ar
til his partner was elected President, an
who has done nothing in his present ofic
at all suggestive of legal learning or abilit
of an extraordinary character.

against their Entertainments they divided
and subdivided and localized their powers
so that their ability to do mischief would
be nihimized as far as possible.
The whole Of our complex system of gov
ornamental machinery revolves around the
inalfenable liberty of the single individual.
The whole light of our matchless civiliza-
ton beams out from the same centre. 1t is
freedom on the single unit; freedom in all
its beneficent form; freedom of conscience
and religion; freedom of brain and thought;
freedom of speech and press; freedom of
arm and muscle; freedom of labor and
trade; freedom to eat, drink and wear;
freedom to go and freedom to come, and
freedom to buy and freedom to sell. When
we remember the long years of persecu-
tions and expressions of paternal govern
ment through which our ancestors had
come and how they suffered under every
hateful form of tyranny and slavery, we
are not surprised at their jealous love OF
personal, political, civil and religious lib
erty, we are not surprised at their sleepless
watchfulness against the Entertainments of

MR. GOODwIN's PLATFORM.

Are not the Mormon people taught that it is
their mission to persevere until this government
of the United States shall be overthrown and
the government of the Mormon church shall
control the Republic? And il our understand
ing Of all this matter is correct, by what right
does the Ne'us claim that any Mormon is en-
titled to the highest privileges which are bes-
towed on an American citizen?-7rjbune Apra
H. 1890.
No, the Mormons are not taught any
such thing. The whole argument is vita
ted by the false premise. The idea of being
afraid that the Mormons may at some time
control the Republic is laughable; but to
urge their disfranchisement on that ground
is simply criminal. In this criminal atti-
tude toward the majority of the voters of
Utah the Liberal candidate stands.
He says if his understanding of all this
matter is correct" then the. Mermons
should be disfranchised. If his .sunder-
standing is correct"-Ayl but there's
the rub-''if.n His understanding of it is
not correct, therefore his scheme to dis
franchise all those who will not vote for
him has no good reason except the greed
of himself and his party for office.
But let US see what are the views of the
Liberal candidate since his nomination.
mar. GOODWIN claims that THE HERALD
asserted, which he admits, that the Peo-
pies primaries and conventions have been
as tree as those of the Liberal party We
asserted no such thing. What we said,
and what we here repeat, is that the Peoples
primaries and conventions were freer,
more Democratic, and in every way better
expressions of the will of the people than
the conventions and primaries of the
Liberal party.
To use Mr.. GooDwIN's words, he admits
that, Gin the late primaries there were nc
instructions given to the people; they were
as free as the Liberal primaries; the peo-
pie voted for whom they pleased, worked
