that the former viii furnish sufficient guar

POTATOES AND FRUITS.


The scarcity of potatoes and fruits should
suggest to our farmers the advantage of
securing good crops of these articles of
prime necessity whenever that is possible.
One year there is a surplus of potatoes, and
the next year a large number of farmers
will not plant potatoes, and a scarcity will
ensue. The failure of the fruit crop is
largely due to climatic conditions, but not
wholly so. and the yield of fruit could be
enormously increased and made less fuc-
tuating by little scientific horticulture.
The farmer who has good crop of pota-
toes this year, or fair yield of fruit, has
a small fortune in mis- pocket.
Agriculture must henceforth be practiced
upon a more scientific basis than it has
heretofore been, in order to pay well. 1t is
not sufficient to plant this or that crop at
places by this time which of the staple arti-
Giles are best adapted to the soil and climate
and specialties should be made of these. 1t
is well known that certain fruits. peaches
for example, have been a great success in
many parts of Utah; but no very systema-
tic efforts at peach raising have been at
tempted. 1t is known that potatoes grown
in Utah are about the best in the world and
generally command good prices; yet they
never have been Systematically selected.
handled and shipped. The very planting OF
them is a matter of uncertainty, and some
years very few are sown.
In this country agriculture is discrim-
mated against to such an extent by the gov
eminent that the greatest care and skill
win be required on the part of the hus-
bandman to make his acres yield him com
Portable living.
We believe that a closer watch kept upon
the demands Of the market, greater
amount of specializing in the localities best
adapted for certain products, and a more
scientific working of the farms, will il
future be the objects that our farmers mus
accomplish.

ENDLESS PENSIONING.

The payment of pensions has already
cost this government more than it's present
bonded debt, more than the indemnity paid
by France to Germany. and more than has
been paid by all the nations of the earth in
pensions since the dawn of history" says
an accurate writer on statistical questions.
Between the years 1868 and 1889, the total
amount paid for pensions was 81 ,02S, 927,
3SS. Estimate what we must pay and
what we are under contract to pay, and
our national debt is greater than the COM
bined debts Of all the rest of the world.
We could pay off the national debts of
every country in the world easier than we
can pay the pensions we have promised to
pay"
To such length has pension legislation
gone in this country. 1t is fortunate that
the country is one of vast resources
and great natural wealth, otherwise

country has accumulated such taxation ex-

country has. We believe there is posi-

that the tendency of extravagant pension

who battles only for pension, or an arm,
that fights only in view of the subsequen

TEE DEMOCRATS of the Third Congress
sional district of California have done them
selves proud in the nomination of JOHN 2.
IRISH Colonel IRISH is not merely an able
man, but a brilliant one, fascinating
speaker, clever and quick in debate, and
thoroughly familiar with the politics of the
country If elected he will be an honor to
his district and state and a credit to Con-
gress. But there is apprehension regard
ing his election. The districts Republican
by fair majority. For three times Judge
McKENNA has carried it without great
effort; two years ago he had a plurality of
5, $50 over the Democratic candidate and a
clear majority of 4,255 over the combined
vote of the Democratic, Prohibitionist and
American nominees. OF course, Colonel
IRISH will cut these figures down, but it is
feared he cannot overcome the majority.

REDUCE THE VALUATION.

The city attorney gives 1t as his opinion
that the council cannot reduce the rate oil
taxation: that having established the rate,
the action is final and must stand. Being
the legal adviser of the municipal govern
rpent, the attorneys oppinion will prob
ably prevail and govern the council, the
tax rate remaining at mills on the dollar.
Other lawyers say the council can change
the rate at any time previous to the collec-
ton of any OF the tax; however, their opln-
ion does not "go.n
But we believe there is way out of the
difficulty, the legality Of which the corpo-
ration counsel viii not question. If the
declaration of rate is final, the coun-
ell can certainly change the assessment,
increasing or decreasing the value placed
upon property by the assessor. Fully 10
per cent, of the property owners, IN value,
have asked the council to either reduce the
rate or lower the estimated value of their
respective holdings. The objection lies TO
the forced contribution of so much money
to the municipal treasury. The Individual
doesn't care whether his property is valued
at much or little so long as he isn't required
10 pay an excessive and burdensome tax.
The laborer may be able and willing to
pay tax of S. 90, and it does not concern
MIN whether his little home is valued at
sl,250, the tax rate being 4 mills, or at
$500, the rate being mills: the result is
what he considers. The taxpayers have
asked that the rate be reduced from
mills to % mills. If the council cannot
awfully do this, it can arrive at the same
result and give the relief asked by cutting
down the assessors valuations proper
Uicn aly.
Some members of the council seem to
think that the assessment roll having been
presented, the same becomes at once ac-
eepted and adopted. We assume this to be
SO from the fact that it was stated at the
council session on Tuesday that the board
mad estimated the amount of money that
would be required for the year and fixed
the tax rate accordingly. the rate being
such as would produce the necessary sum
On the valuation returned blythe assessor. To
accept this view is to deny the right of the
council to change any assessment, for that
would change the aggregate of the roll and
consequently the tax would yield more or
less money than the estimates or the re-
quirements.
The council may think otherwise, but

THE BALANCE OF TRADE.

Mr. BLAINE's Waterville speech is said
to be great disappointment to the Repub-
lican leaders 1t seems that they had ex-
pected him to correct or modify his asser-
ton that not line in the MCKINLEY bill
would open market for an additional bar
rel of pork or a bushel of wheat for the
American farmer.
Mr.. BLAINE did not moCify or retract
anything he had said before, however, but
emphasized his former deliberations The
effect of his speech upon the Republicans
is said TO be depressing" and we can well
believe that such is the case.
Reciprocity W.T. the southern republics,
which means free trade with them. is of
course good proposition, even if by Re-
publican leader; but the reasons given for
it are foolish and narrow.
Because we import from them more than
we export in return, the balance of trade, !"
superstition of the middle ages, is said to
be against us. 1t is the protectionist the
Dry that we export money to these coun-
tries TO settle the balance. We do nothing
of the sort.
Our exports to England are much greater
than our imports from that country, which
leaves England in debt to US for the extra
goods we have sent her. Now, these re-
publics buy large quantities of goods from
England, which leaves them in debt to her.
Any one can now figure out the tratsac-
tion.. We are in debt to the southern re-
publics, they are IN debt to England, and
England is in debt to us. England pays
her debt by giving to US the promissory
notes OF the South American states, and
we pay our debt to the latter by handing
back these promises to pay that these
states had given 10 English merchants.
There is nothing alarming in the fac;
that our imports from some countries are
greater than our ex ports TO those countries.
Our exports and imports as whole will be
equal unless the Republican policy
Of always paying more than we get

ABOUT MATERIAL.

The property owners on First East street
have made choice of asphaltum as paving
material for that street, but no time has
been set for beginning the Improvement
1t is also understood that majority Of the
owners of property AUDITING on East Tenn
pie street favor asphaltum, and it has prac-
tically been decided that when the street
shall be paved that material will be used.
So far, good. Now, THE HERALD sug-
gests, as 1t has done before, that neither of
these thoroughfares be paved until next
year. The Commercial street lot owners
have agreed among themselves to pave
with asphaltum, and the work is about
to be undertaken. The street is a
narrow one, and is only forty rods
in length, so that the laying of the pave
ment is matter of brief time; the work
will doubtless be completed before the w 1T
and frosty weather sets in, and the winter
will give the material fair test. If the
pavement shall stand until next summer
without showing signs of suffering from
our severe frosts, and shall endure the
heavy traffic of that busy thoroughfare, the
property owners of East Temple and First
East can go ahead in confidence with as
phaltum. If, on the other hand, the ma
terial shall prove a failure, as some predict
that it will, it will be better to confine
that failure to the Commercial street
pavement which will cost compare
lively little. 1t seems to US folly and the
height of recklessness to proceed
with the work of paving the two wide
and long streets named until it shall be
| reasonably well known that the material
used will answer the purpose and be worth
the money that it costs. A mistake would
not only be severe on the taxpayers, but
would greatly delay the laying of good
pavement. Not many of the property
owners would feel like taxing themselves
for another costly pavement next year. the
expensive one laid this year having gone to
pieces. The majority would certainly want
to wait until they had made good their
losses
And now as to asphaltum. TIE HERALD
hopes that every taxpayer will in

used, and that nobody will consent to the
use of any other. Do not be wheedled or
bulldczed into accepting material from any
other state or territory. Do not permit
yourselves to believe agents or engineers
who will tell you that the Utah article is
inferior, that it will cost more, that it can
not be laid so well, or that it will not prove
so good as the imported. 1t should be the
