A Serious Condition.

The people are begin ming to under
stand that no Official eau faithfully
serve corporations and the public al
the same time. For nearly thirty years
tie drift of legislation has been to de-
prive the people of rights they enjoy,
or abridge those rights, or to grant
additional privileges to corporations.
A public orator once said that it WAS
impossible for any legislative body to
meet and transact business without In
terfering, ahridgjng or denying some
Of the rights previously enjoyed by
the people. Perhaps the reader will
look in vain for contradiction of this
statement. It is true that no direct
attack is made upon the constitution
in its more important features, but
there is nevertheless a continual en-
croachment. The right of eminent do
main is drifting from the states to the
government, and indeed it is ques-
ton if the states really possess this
right to-day, and while this is going
on one class of people are urging the
government TO seize the railroads. tele-
graph lines, ETC., in the interests ofthe
public. Then there is class of law
makers who devote their energies and
time to voting privileges to corpora
eiolio Slid dChy ibS ehC pGopiC JIG po"-
er of redress by local government.
And every year the citizen finds him
self more and more restricted, until,
backed by such men as money will
control, the danger line has been very
nearly reached.
Before long the people will arise in
their strength ad overthrow those who
now ignore their just complaints.
Then men will be elected to office to
serve the people, aud not to serve the
powers which thrive best when the
rights and property Of the private citi-
zen are between the upper and neither
milestone.
The danger which Lincoln foreshad-
owed and which Mr.. Cleveland en-
phatically declared was upon Us can
not be passed by as an idle story any
longer. When right after right once
enjoyed by the people and found not
to be detrimental to good government
is taken away. then it is time to seek
a remedy. And the man who shuts
his eyes to such such plain truths is
either a fool or a knave.-JeDerSon
City Tribune.

Protection Denounced by Protection
lists

Some time ago bill was introduced
lnto the Legislature of Pennsylvania to
protect the farmers from the cheap
beef of the west. The Manufacturer,
which is the organ of the Protectionist
Manufacturers Club of Philadelphia,
said of this attempt to protect our farm
ers:
The real intent of the measure appears to
De 10 discriminate in favor of the farmers of
fennsylyania as against the concerns in the
west which flood this market with cheap
beef. The objections to such a measure are
many and forcible. II PENNSYLVANIA shall
undertake to legislate against an important
western product, she must expect retalia-
ton which Will place her indus tries at a dis
advantage IN the western markets. The
game is of a kind that two can play at, and
the state which has the larger industries al
ways has the ODDS against it in such a strug-
gle. The proposed scheme is in effect device
for the protection of certain industries of this
common wealth from the rivalry of other
states, aniit Is therefore, "a deliberate attempt
tointerfere with the operation Of that system
of free trade between the states which is es-
sential to the nationol prosperity.
oIs, we shall soon find occasion to protect
Montgomery County from Bucks, and Phil
adelphia from both. The short erdy to XIII
the entire protective system is to make it ri

ReDUblIcaniSm Illustrate d.

I The electric light companies present
strong arguments in favor of their pc.
tition for the abolition of the tariff on
copper ingot, plate bars, rod and wire
The copper mines Of Lake Superior
| they urge. "are the richest mines il
the world and the most easily worked
| Copper produced in this country is
constantly sold in England at lower
price than it Is sold in this country
and it has happened that lake copper
has gone all the way to London, and
after being sold there, has been re-
Transported to New York. where, after
paying the duty, it has met i'll compe-
tition copper from the same mine,
which has reached the market by the
| shorter and less expensive route of the
lakes and the Erie CanaI.n
This statement of fact may appear
extraordinary, but it Is in line with
! with The ordinary and necessary result,
wherever "protectedn articles are eX-
pected. All protective duties operate
to prevent exports by f1rcing unnat-
ural prices at home, aod inviting man
ufactures to limit the supply to the mar
ket in which these unnatural prices are
obtained. But wherever there is ex-
port of an article SO protected, 1t must
come down to the prices of fair trade
and free competition as soon as it gets
| from under our discriminating laws
and is put on its merits in an open
market.
The duty on copper does not ordinar-
| lily produce revenue, as it is too high
to allow any considerable importation
even if we did not have copper enough
to supply this market. In 1888 we ex-
ported %, ,000,000 pounds, every pound
of which would naturally be sold
cheaper in the open market of London
! than in the closed market of the Unit
| ed States.
Messrs. HARRISON, Blaine and other
subsidy advocates argue that in order
to have an export trade, we must pay
the freight out os the treasury. The
enorD1ity of the discrimination against
| the American consumer is best appre-
ciated in the light of such facts as these
which show that the taxes we pay to
keep prices high at home result in Civ
ing foreigners lower prices in our eX-
ports of protected goods than we can
get at home. How entirely audacious
add consumately Republican is this
Harrison administration proposition
that we should now proceed to pay the
freight cd exports of protected Ameri-
can articles which are already sold to
foreigners at least % per cent. cheaper
than we can buy them.-Repubtic.

The Marrow of the Dispute.

We have constant agitation for the
amelioration of the industrial people
of the land. That they have wrongs
| to redress is not disputed, but they
have hitherto sought almost every rem.
edy but the right one.
AS long as the industrial masses
will vote TO tax themselves tor the ben
eft of monopoly classes, just so long
will labor have oppression and unrest.
When the workingman must pay Al
cts. out of his 81 earned as taxes to
swell an already overf1owing treasury,
it is mockery to say that there is pro-
lection to labor. There is protection to
monopoly; there is only oppression to
to industry.
The true and the only remedy for the
workingmen OF the country is to take
a positive stand ard resolutely vote
against all needless taxes on the nee
essaries of life AMI against all taxes on
the raw materials of our productive
industries. That would assure protec-
ton to abor and it would assure mutual
interests between labor and capital.
Our industrial people are the sover-
eigns of the Republic. They make
and unmake its rulers and its laws;
and whenever they shall decide that
oppressive taxation of the masses for
the benefit of favored classes shall
cease, the one practical remedy for the
mass of labor will be applied with ben
discuss it and vote to inforce it. 1t is
the marrow of the dispute.-Philadel-

SALT LAKE Is ALL RIGHT.

The very best evidence that could exist
that Salt Lake is all right is furnished in
the fact that there was never before time
when so much building was under way.
There is scarcely block in the city on
which nothing is being done in the way OF
improvements. Many handsome and costly
business blocks, equal, if not superior. to
anything IN town are in course of erection.
and the new residences that will be built
this year win run into the hundreds. 1t is
predicted that fully twice as much money
as was spent last year for brick, stone.
lumber and labor will be expended here for
the same things this year. So extensive
are these improvements that were
the visitor Of last year to come again
in 1891, he would not recognize the city.
But there is another thing in this connec
ton which tells well for Salt Lake: Almost
without exception the buildings are being
put up by local citizens. Residences and
business blocks are being constructed by
men who have long been here and who are
recognized as permanent residents. They
made their money here and are spending it
