THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The message of President Harrison,
 which was printed in full in yesterdays
 REPUBLICAN, will stand as an exceed
 ingly able state paper. It is not radical in the advocacy of any measures favored
 yet it deals with them in very strong
 and able manner. The various Execu- tive Departments of the Government are
 not dealt with in detail, but concise and clear statement of their magnitude given, and then Congress is referred to the reports of the various Secretaries.
 Referring to the values of farm pro ducts and the operations of the tariff the President shows that same versatile knowledge of the subject which he showed in his numerous speeches in 1888, and which 80 agreeably surprised his friends. As he we'll says there has been marked increase Tn the price of farm products the past year, and every attention possible is being devoted by the administration to the farming in- terests. His position in favor of protec- tion to American interests and American industries is in line with that policy which stands for the greatest good to the greatest number. He clearly shows the absurdities of the demogoguic cries of increased prices caused by the tarif," when in fact there was general upward tendency of the market from other sources and articles not at all affected by the tariff shared in the ad- vance. Imports at New York for the first three weeks of November, being the first under the Mckinley bill, in- creased 8 per cent over 1889, and per cent over 1888, for the corresponding periods in those years. The cries against the tariff came largely from abroad and are re-echoed at home by class who would reduce laborine men so the lowest possible margin. England, France, Aus tria and Germany may we'll cry out against America's tariff when that tariff enables home manu- factories to spring up which will furnish the articles heretofore imported from those countries.
 The reciprocity clause of the tariff bill is especially commended, and there is now no question of reciprocity being one of the principles on which the Re publican party will conduct it's cam paign in 1892. With steamship lines to the countries south of us, which the President so earnestly recommends, there will be developed trade that will turn millions of dollars to the balance in favor of the United States. Congress can scarcely fail to appropriate sums for the encouragement of this ocean carrying trade.
 Upon the Mormon evil the President shows great familiarity, aud that he has investigated the subject thoroughly. | The reports of the Governors of Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and Arizona, submitted to the Secretary of the Interior, con tained much valuable information from men thoroughly conversant with the subject. Secretary Noble also laid con siderable stress upon this terrible blot on the Nation, and the President shows that he, too, considered well the hypoc- risy and. treason of this organization. His remarks should be carefully read by every voter. He says:
 The increasing number and influence of the non-Mormon population in Utah is observed with satisfaction. The recent letter of wflford | Woodruff, president of the Mormon Church, in | which he advised his people to refrain from
