WHAT WE WORK Ar.

1t will be interesting to observe when
the census is completed, which lines of in
dustry have made the greatest advance
ment in this territory during the past ten
years. At the last census, the total popu-
lation of the territory was returned as
1858, Of whom 40,055 were engaged in
gainful occupations, the rest being under
age, dependent, or idle-livipg by their wits
on wealth already accumulated.
OF the 40,055 workers, the largest num-
Der belonged to agriculture, IA $50 cr36 per
cent, of the working population. This oc-
cupation comprised 4, 81 agricultural labor
ers, 9,13O farmers ana planters, and ,22S
stock raisers, drovers, and herders The
next largest occupation in numbers EN-.
ployed was that of professional and per-
sonal services, II, IA, the largest items
under the general headings being laborers,
6,9l2; domestic servants, 1,70l, aud teach
ers, Az. Lawyers, doctors, n inisters, etc ;.
were relatively few in number
The next largast was the general class
denominated as manufacturing, mechani-
cal and mining industries, 1922. The chief
items under this head Were miners, 2,592;
carpenters and joiners. 1,253: blacksmiths,
So; boot and shoe makers, Sol; brick and
stone masons, $50.
Next came those engaged in trade an
transportation, 4, l49. Among these were
clerks, statesmen and accountants, Sg5 |;
draymen, hackmen and transfers, 707.
We have not enumerated the occupations
with but few followers in nor those under
the greater headings with but few in them
but enough has been given to show that
agriculture is the browning industry of
Utah, the same as of the country at large.
Agriculture, professional and personal
services, mechanical, manufacturing and
mining, trade and transportation, is the
order of Importance of the several divis-
ions Of industry.
The comparison between agriculture and
mining is that the former embraces 80 per
cent, and the latter embraces less than {
per cent, OF the working population OF
Utah.
The disproportion between the total mum
Der of persons dependent or each of these
two branches would be still greater than
that between the actual workers as consid
cradle numbers of the miners are unmar
ried.

THE TARIFF AND WAGES.

Senator FAULKNER, of South Carolina, de-
livered az exhaustive address on the tariff
a few days ago, in which he showed that
wages in the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES have de-
clined under protection, while wages in
the unprotected industries have advanced
without protection AS rule, the pro-
tected industries pay lower wages than the
unprotected. 1t should also be borne in
mind that only five per cent, OF our work
ing population arc protected while ninety
five per cent, of our workers are not pro-
tected; that 10, about 100000 are engaged
in the protected industries, while over
49, 1000 are employed in industries that
cannot be benefited by the tariff. This
was the substance of the report made by
FoRD, ELLIOT. and NEwCoMB, the mathe
NAUTICAL experts engaged by the secretary
OF the treasury in 1855, to ascertain the
respective numbers of the protected and
unprotected laborers in the United States.
Senator FAULKNER handles the subject
from different point Of view. He says:
Tha:an increased value to labor is not given
by an increase OF customs duties eve4 to the
workmen Ill protected industries, is clearly
shown by the bureau of statistical Information

THE MORMON QUESTION.

We commend to our grown-up children
in Utah, who know no right or wrong ex-
cept the mere word of the law, and in fact
TO all such boobies as believe that ANYTHING
will become wrong and thence punishable
If the law says SO, as well as to the more
artful plotters who are with self conscious
criminal intent trying to secure the dis
reimbursement of the Mormons for mere
party advantage. the following truisms:
All therefore, that civil law can properly do
toward religion and be just, is to respect every
form Of religion. and favor none; to be neither
hostile nor friendly TO any. but simply be silent
on the subject, as matter lying outside of its
jurisdiction The reason fer this is obvious /:
and the principle Is admirably stated in the
following words from Church and State by
Dr.. Schaff;
Freedom OF religion is one Of the greatest
gifts OF God 10 man, without distinction of race
and color. He is the Author mud Lord of con-
science, and no power on earth has right to
stand between GOD and the conscience. A vio-
lation of this divine law written in tho heart is
an assault upon the majesty OF COP In man.
Granting the freedom OF conscience we must
by logical necessity, also grant the freedom Of
its manifestation and exercise in public wor-
ship To concede the first and to deny the
second, after the manner of despotic govern
ments, Is to imprison the conscience To be
just. the state must either support all, or none
CT the religions of its citizens"- .imerican
Sentinel.
There Is an evident attempt to unite
church and state in this country by the at
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-09-14

tack that is being made on the Mormon
church to-day. There is no real difference
between the special support of one or more
churches by the state and .the-special dis
elimination against one or more churches
by the state In either case, there is an
attempt at the establishment of a religion,
which the constitution expressly forbids.
In the same issue of the Sentinel from
which we clip the foregoing paragraphs,
there is an article entitled "Religious Lib
erty and the Mormon Question" which dis
cusses the legal and ethical aspect of laws
forbidding polygamy even when held as a
part of religion. 1t is not our purpose here
to enter into any discussion with the Sen
tincl in regard to the doctrine of .polygamy,
but to remark that the merits or delneribs
of laws fcrbidding the practice of that doc
trine is not the Mormon question at all.
Legally and as matter of fact that doc
trine cuts no further figure in the Mormon
question If any person in Utah violates
the anti polygamy laws, he is punished
with hitherto unexampled severity. The
question now is whether the Mdrmons shall
be further punished, this time for their
thoughts.
| There is pending in Congress to-day bill
which provides punishment for every mem
Der of the Mormon church, simply because
he is Mormon. 1t is well known that
polygamy is a tenet of the Mormon church.
The bill introduced by Representative
| STRUBLE provides for the disfranchsement
and exclusion from holding civil Office and
ir,rtr oil
bers of church with such tenet in its
faith The practice of polygamyis not the
question now; it is simply membership in
the Mormon church.
The Sentinel will be performing worthy
public duty if it will now discuss anew
religious liberty aud the Mormon ques
tion," bearing in mind that membership in
the Mormon church, without reference
even to a belief in polygamy, is now the
question pending in the halls of Congress.

This is an average increase of "a per cent
The commissioner OF labor concurs in this
view in his report OF 1888, in which he states
that in 1915 the per cent. OF wages paid to the
value of production in over ZOO establishments
was 24.6S, and that in 1850 it was only &C. %,
decrease of ole-sixth in five years.
If this were true of Illinois only, the ar
gument that high tariff does not cause
high wages would be less convincing than
it is. But it is true of the country as
whole. The unprotected carpenter, en-
gineer or painter, gets higher wages
than the protected coal or iron miner, silk
factory hand protected quarryman, or
linen worker,
Yet the protectionists innocently assert
that the low wages of 5 per cent OF cur
working people in some way force up the
wages of the 95 per cent, who are not pro
tected. Unjust take more faith to believe
that alleged miracle than to believe any Of
the fables in the Alcoran or the Taimud

THE FAIR.

It is gratifying to learn that the applica-
tons for space in the fair building are
numerous, and that they come from a wide
area OF country. 1t is gratifying, because
it indicates unusual and widespread inter
est in the forthcoming exhibition. Our
annual fairs were once great events. Not
only did they bring the people together,
but they brought them together in noble
rivalry which was productive of much
good. Every exhibition was followed by
an improvement in the community Indi-
viduals We're inspired with an ambition to
excel. Our factories turned out better
goods. Our artisans did better work. Our
stoekraisers took better care of their herds
and gave greater attention to the improve
ment of their animals. Our artists
labored harder to please and worked
with greater determination to sur
pass. Everybody looked forward
with pleasurable anticipation to the fairs
and the realization was equal to the ex-
pectation, there being marked advance in
the various departments of human industry
with each successive exposition.
When these usual displays were discon-
tinued the regret was general, and the evi!
effects of the stoppage were apparent two
or three years ago, when fair was held
after lapse of years. The people had los,
much Of the interest which once actuated
them. The ambition to win prizes and
popular favor had gently declined. and there
was a lack of popular enthusiasm which
had marked the annual displays. The ex
hibitions given annually since, however
have had wonderful influence, and TO-DAY
something Of the old time spirit is manifest
in the community. People are again eager t.
attract public attention and win plaudits
by exhibiting the evidences of their enter.
prise, skill and training. They are agar
taking natural human delight ia efforts tt
excel, and as whole the community i.
once more taking pride in showing the pro
gress that is making in praiseworthy en-
deavors.
The indications are that the fair will be
better generally than any ever before held
and that 1t will better illustrate the re-
marksble advance that Utah has been max
ing in the development and utilization Of
her sources. The various fields of manu-
facture, agriculture, mining, stock raising
and so on will all be represented and we be
lieve as never before, the display being
creditable exposition of the arts and indus
tries Of the territory.

OF asphalt pavement and all the money that is
being spent on it, it is either not properly COM
pounded in New York, or else the conditions
are fatally against it. The Barber pavement in
Wall street resembles rolling water, and is very

STRIKE FAILURES
thenlselve

Strikes usually fail of their immediate
obiect-the advance of wages, but it may
be doubted whether the failures are not in
some sense a success. Railroad managers.
manufacturers, and business men are like
other people, and will not readily undergo
the losses of second strike even if the
strikers have failed, so to speak, in the
first. The losses brought about by the
strike. and even the possibility of loss,
will make employers more careful in their
treatment Of their employees than if they
had no fear of any stri 1es.
Indeed, in most of the uprisings known
to history, the uprising has failed of its
Immediate object, but the desired resul,
has bren accomplished indirectly.
In the time of RICHARD Ii, JOHN BALL
harangued the people with the words for a
text,
When ADAM delved aud Eve span,
Who was thea the gentiemans
And he infiamed the multitude by saving.
''Good people, things will never go well in
England so long as goods be not in co:n-
mon, and go long as there be villeins and

weeks had possession of London. They de.
mandeG of the king that villainage should
be abolished, that the rent Of agricultural
lands should be fixed by parliament, that
trade should be free. and that all who had
taken part in the rebellion should receive
an unconditional pardon.
The rebellion was put down but the de-
mands of the Williams were silently ana eff
fectually accorded during the century that
followed, by the abolition OF villainage.
But strikes are nevertheless great
wealth destroyers, and the same result
that they are expected to accomplish
chiefly higher wages-may be attained in
other ways. Political equality, universal
education, cheap land, and strong induce
ments to save, should enable the laborers
to secure their share in the product of in
dustry without recourse to frequent strikes.
They can, through saving and co-opera-
ton, enter the field of wealth production
themselves, and thus receive all they are
able to earn. No limit except the limit to
their own ability, can be set to what they
may thus earn for themselves. And if any

same thing.
1t IS in productive cooperation, not in
destructive combination for striking, that
the true solution of labor troubles will be
found.
Some day the toilers of industry will
learn this fact, and strikes, except very
peaceable ones, will be things of the bar

The Trib. says The Mormons should be

find cut beforehand which way they
would vote in the Wyoming election. By
the SAME reasoning the mugwumps and
civil service reformers. the Independents,
etc, who are among the best citizens in the
nation should be DISTINGUISHED, because it
is uncertain which way they will vote in
any election. From long contact with do
Gle and obedient Liberals, whom it has
