auditor. If such is the case Mr.
Hovey, being western man, deserves
the support of the west end, and will

west Kansas ever expects to re-

parts of the state, she must unite on
one candidate and stick to him, first,

MORE ISLANDER.

The Tribune denies that it is savagely
scoring the workingmen for having dared
to put ticket in the field, and in the next
breath adds that the ticket was the work of
men "who have not been known to do a
days work in this community for long
time past, two or three of the chiefs of
whom have never been known to do an hon
est days work in their lives,n etc. The
organ also insinuates that "for moneyed
consideration" these men have agreed to
"try to defeat the Liberal party 1t also
warns the Liberal workingmen that if they
dare to vote their own c set, This will be
the only week in all their lives that they
can get situations from the saints and draw
salaries;' also that there has never been
a time when they could get employment
from members of the Peoples party
OF course. all the statements are the
veriest balderdash, We merely call the
attention of workingmen to these SANDERS.
They need no refutation, particularly as
the workingmen themselves know whether
they have been bribed or not aud as hun
dreds of~non- Mormon worzingme1 are to-
day III the employ of members of the Peo-
pies party.
The paper is greatly exercised, however,
and says the workingmen are trying "to
elect ticket which, if successful, they
know, and every one knows, will deny to
a gentle workingman any occupation what
ever IN the gift of the county"
The worlkingnen know, and the Tribune
knows, that there is not man on the tickc
WI will deny work to gentle; not man
who has not himself employed gentle work
men. These men were first nominated by
gentle workmen, and several of them are
gentiles. The Trjbunc's SANDER is doing
good work for the taxpayers by helping
along the workingmen's movement.

thus far that OrTINGER, at salary OF 81 SEQ

RfAN was made superintendent of the

was made chief of the fire department

good salary; and each has a horse and

costs about 5000 under the Liberal rule

months of STANToN's acknowledgements of the
fire department., there has been destroyed

These records he stated, ''show that

A LESSON IN HISTORY.

The Tribune in despair about its tariff de-
feat, puts little problem to Tue HERALD
for solution.
We would like to have HIM point out some
country in the world that has followed his doc
trine and enjoyed prosperity under it.
A country known as the United States
tried free trade for ten years and protec-
tion for ten years. Free trade, that is,
tariff for revenue, was tried from 1850 to
1860 Protection, that is, war taxes, was
tried from 1870 to 1880. The decade from
1860 to 1870 was the period of transition
from free trade to protection.
The Tenth Census of the United States,
vol. VII, page s, shows the results as be-
tween these two periods. Take first the
free trade era:
Total wealth 81, 135. 7s0.2ss SIG, 1596l6,oGs
Wealth per CAPITA. 3B Sill
Increase per capita
during the decade 206
Now take the protection period:
1870 1880.
Total wealth. 49,. $50 o6S, 2O7 S43647, 100000
Wealth per capita. $50 $40
| Increase per capita
| during the decade 90
That is, while the total wealth of the
United States more than doubled under a
tariff Tor revenue, an increase of over 100
per cent, under protection the total wealth
increased only As per cent. The com ARA
tive growth was thus more than twice as
fast under the revenue tariff. But the
question is not one merely of totals. We
must consider also how many the total is
divided among in order to estimate the real
growth.
In 1850 the wealth per head was S30S,
which had increased in 1860 to s5l4, an in
crease of sos per head during the years OF
low tariff.
In 1870 the wealth per head was $50
which increased to $50 in 1880, an increase
of 800 per head during ten years of low
tariff
1t may be necessary to state that the
estimates for the total wealth of 1870 an6
1850 include all property, taxed and un
taxed. The tables of total wealth given fol
1850 and 1860 include only taxed property
This explains the apparent increase il
national wealth during the war period from
1860 to 1870. Actually, there was a decrease
during this decade. Only about half thu
property in the United States is taxed; thu
other half escaped the enumerators Of 1856
and 1860. But in 1870 and 1880 the othe
value of taxed property,

THE LIAR WINCES.
FRIDAYS Tribune said:


It is perfectly logical for the government OF
the United States 10 hold that members of Z
sect, each one OF whom has taken an oath that
he believes polygamy is sacrament of God
should be debarred from citizenship on the
ground that he cannot faithfully take an oath
to obey all the laws of the United States.
THE HERALD promptly denounced the
statement as ga falsehood if applied to any
Mormon, whatsoever" The Tribune win
ces at this, and instead of bringing forth
proof when thus challenged, it crawls back
with this miserable subterfuge:
OF course the Tribune did not mean that an,
Mormon had held up his hand and been swori
on the Bible IN the way that oaths are taken
What we meant was that every Mormon hat
taken upon himself an obligation and avowet
his belief in the divinity of polygamy, as com
manded by the so-called revelation in the Doc
trine and Covenants.
The only difference between this state
ment and the first is that while the first
contains only one falsehood, the last con
tains three.
mo Mormon takes upon himself any
obligation in regard to polygany.
2-No Mormon necessarily avows his
belief in the divinity of polygamy.
3-No revelation in the Doctrine ant
Covenants commands either this obliga
ton or avowal.
The sheet referred to affords anottie,
bit of choice information that will b.
relished by every member of the church
whose doctrines it pretends tc interpret
1t says, 'no good Mormon can ever be
long to the Mormon church without accept
ing that obligation and making that VOW.
Here is a statement that every Nor
mon and every person that has ever been
Mormon knows is absolutely false. Tn,
writer who set it down knows it is false
1t is not mistake, but q deliberate un
truth stated ii cold blood. Its only pur
pose is base and cowardly one, viz; t.

The Tribune follows this precious striny
Of falsehoocs by vague general charges
about disloyalty, dictation, and the teach
ing of treason to children; but it wisely re
Trains from saying anything specific.

ing paragraphs Of the editorial:
It is not improbable that Mr.. ROBERT S.
SPENCE was there-but he was there on his own
hook, and had no delegated power to speak for
the people of Bear Lakeland Furthermore did
not do DIN any particular, so far as we are in
formed. Mr.. SPENCE knows what he talks
about, and is supposed TO be too much like the
father of his country to perpetrate such bare
faced falsehoods as contained in said dispatch
In the first place the Mormons are not all
Democrats.
2. Bear Lake did not cast $50 Democratic
votes at the last election and the Mormons viii
not all vote the Democratic ticket.
8. There is no Mormon in the Idaho nor any
eastern penitentiary for illegal voting, anc
there are none hiding in the mountain fast
nesses for voting nor for any other cause.
4. Mr.. SPENCE has no fear of FREMONT WooI
arresting him in the Democratic club or else
where for illegal voting at the last election, fo
during the last campaign he neither registered
nor voted: and moreover, the United States at

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such a
remarkable event is treasured in the mem
DRY and the agency whereby the good health
has been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that SO much is heard in praise
of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of the

troubled with any disease of the Kidneys,
