THE SHEEP ARGUMENT.

1t is said that certain recent converts tc
hepuollcanlsm are abroad explaining that
they are Republicans because they OWE
sneep. This seems incredible.
In 1867, after twenty years of free wool
the number of sheep in the United States
was 81, $50, 1856. In 1888, after twenty years
OF protection, the number had increased to
only 42,599,O19. Meantime the population
had doubled, while the number of sheen
instead of reaching $4,000, 600, as it wouId
have done had it merely kept pace with the
growth OF the country, experienced a beg
carly increase of per cent If a loss OF
over 80 per cent. in the growth of the num.
Der OF sheep in the country as compared
with the growth Of population, does not
show the wool tariff to be great benefit
to the wool growing industry, then what
would!
In 1866, under the low tariff. the price of
wool was 81 cents. In 1868, under the high
tariff, the price fell to ~ cents and has been
falling, with some variations, ever since.
American wool is now the cheapest on the
whole globe, and this is the only civilized
country that protects wool. Other countries
have learned that great mixture of woods
Is necessary to successful cloth-making and
that no one country can raise all the neces-
sary varieties of wool This country alone
raises the price of the foreign wool by tax.
andas our manufacturers have to pay a high
price for foreign wool, they must pay low
price for domestic wool or go out of bust.
ness.
The usual tables of wool prices show that
each time prior to 1867 the tariff was low
cred the prices of wool went up, and that
since the protection began, the prices went
down till they reached the lowest prices in
any country ever known. But Republicans
were not satisfied. They applied to GEORGE
WILLIAM BOND, of Boston, to furnish a
table that would prove that high tariff en-
hances the price of wool. After much
figuring" the following table appeared:

IN SPITE OF all the demagogy that IS hurled at
them by the Democrats, and in spite of all the
cunning arguments that are spun to mislead
them, the people believe in the plain, common
sense doctrine OF protection.-I1mes.
HE people believe in the word protec
ton, not in the doctrine: for as soon as the
proper meaning of that deceptive doctrine
Is learned, the people do not believe in it.
ASK any man if he doesn't believe in pro-
lection, and he will answer yes" if he
has never studied the subject, because of
the idea that the word protection naturally
calls up. But ask any man if he believes
IN discrimination. This is the proper
word to describe actual workings of the
protective tariff He will as promptly say,
mo-" AS soon as the people understand
that this so-called protection is simply dis
elimination, they will abolish it.

the past. These gentlemen tell us that
the great majority of those who have
trained under the Peoples banner feel that
there is no longer a place for the party,
| and that to perpetuate the organi
cation would be to waste en-
ergy and effort, and put to bad
use political force which might
otherwise be diverted to good purpose The
leaVen which began working year ago has
penetrated and permeated the ranks of the
Peoples party, and now the overwhelming
majority are keen to range themselves with
the great national organizations and con-
duct their political battles on the lines
which are recognized throughout the union.
The voters have come to fully understand
the truth, that so long as they contest as
nondescripts IN politics they will be treated
by the people of America as undeserving
consideration, unworthy of participation in
the political councils and affairs of the ma
ton. 1t has been o tiresome, proftless
Warefare in the past, and to proceed with
1t on the old lines would be disastrous to
the voters themselves. Furthermore, it is
not probable that the party can be held to-
gether. The Democracy is but a
few days old, and already it has
enrolled in its ranks hundreds of
men who have in the past given
their allegiance to the Peoples party.
Everywhere that Democratic meeting
is held Peoples partisans flock in and
wisely and enthusiastically declare them
selves in favor of the organization and it's
principles. This is true not ONLY of Sal
Lake city, but OF the entire territory,
strong clubs being already formed in sew
eral counties. At the Republican meeting
IN the theatre last week, we also saw that
there was something of gong over to

they will see that there is no longer the
least occasion for maintaining the Peoples
party, and they will declare the Or
ganlzation disbanded, the members
pelng free to unite with such
parties as best represent their
principles. Everything is to be gained by
this course; everything is to be lost by pur-
suing the opposite course. Evidence has
been presented that never again can either
the Peoples or the Liberal party be a
forceful factor in local politics, and now it
Will be the part of wisdom for the leaders
OF those parties to confess the truth and
not stand in the way of the progressive
movement which has been inaugurated.

THE HERALD has always maintained Demo
cratic principles, therefore the present move
ment cannot be regarded as q new departure in
this respect. But henceforth it will be party
organ. Its influence will be exercised in be-
nalf OF the Democratic party, locally and ma
tionally. THE HERALD has always been a
strong champion of Utah, and has fought the
battles OF the people as against all who have
sought to deprive them OF the rights and priv
eges of American citizenship. 1t announces
that it will do this in the future.
We hope and believe that the new SALT LAKE
HERALD will be true to the policy which it has
already defined. The gentlemen formerly con-
nected with the paper who retain their interest
are well known and respected in the COM
munity, and SO far as their power extends will
certainly uphold the true interests of the peo-
pie in this territory according to their political
views and predictions. The gentlemen
who have obtained control appear also
to be determined to make the paper a
champion OF equal rights and civil and religious
liberty within the lines of the law. The former
editors and writer's, we understand. are to re-
main on the staff, and others are to be added
With such combination of influence and good
purpose, THE HERALD, we think, cannot fail to
be power in the community, and one that will
be welded against oppression, fanaticism and
obstruction in every form.
We therefore welcome THE HERALD under
is new man agement and wish it prosperity. AS
it is to be strictly party paper, we may not
always agree with its sentiments or endorse its
utterances. But we are ready to second every
effort whether of Democrats or Republicans or
members OF any party, in the interest Of peace,
progress, the development Of the territory, the
destruction of old hates, the burying Of dead is
sues, and the elevation OF Utah into the dignity
and might Of free and sovereign state of the
union. Success to THE SALT LAKE HERALD,

THE PEOPLES PARTY.

Chairman RIoHARDs, of the Peoples ter
ritorial central and county central commit
tees, has called his associates together 70
consider as to what action they should take
in view of the present political situation.
OF course this has reference to the recent
organization of the Democratic party and
the PROBABLE organization of the Republi-
can party.
The HERALD cannot speak for the COM
mittee. but it can speak in behalf of the
people hereabouts, whose friend it is. and
can express the hope that Mr.. RICHARDS
ana associates will see the situation pre-
cisely as it is. The masses are emphatically
in favor of the prompt disbandment of the
Peoples party. They realize that there is
no longer occasion for the continuance of
that party, and that TO hold it together
longer would be almost crime against the
community. We say this advisedly. be-
cause we are familiar with the views of
scores of those Peoples psrtisans who
have been influential among the voters in

WE ARE Democrat. We believe in a
governn ent of, for, and by the people. We
are for fair field to all, special favors to
none. We believe in "equal and exact
justice to all men" of whatever opinion or
persuasion. We believe in local self-gov-
eminent, and in the freedom of the people
to manage their own elections. We believe
taxes should not be levied in excess of the
needs OF government economically admin
lstered. We think the people the final
judges OF all great questions of public
policy. We are opposed to everything that
denies or lnfringes upon the fundamental
principle of equality before the law; that
is, we oppose everything that is not Dem-
ocratic. Hence, the Republican party, the
Liberal party, or any other party that is
not Democrat, is meat for us, and we
propose to take all corners. And we do not
believe this platform can be improved upon.

The Peoples party is thus in the major

Tribune is good, it should be strictly and
vigorously applied, and the Liberals would
get only SIX members in the house and only
Onree IN the council, if they polled their vote
10 the best possible advantage. But the
reasoning is not good. Applied to national
AFFAIRS on the basis of the last congressional
eiection returns, the Democrats have

millions OF the people of the United States
and the Republicans were in the majority
IN states representing only some thirteen
millions of people. According to the
method of ''apportionment'' defended by
this Liberal sheet, there should be five
democrats in the Senate, in the House, and
IN the executive and the judicial depart
ments OF this government to one Re-
publican in the same positions. And

the Republicans in the branches and de-
partments of the national government in
the ratio of five to four; by the Tribune's

ocrats would outnumber the Republicans

WILL 1T WORK BOTH WAYS?

At the last election in this territory the
Liberal party polled 6,921 votes and the
Peoples party 1888. The new apportion
ment, according to the Tribune, will give
the Liberals, if the new parties do not
change the result, ten and perhaps twelve
members out of total of twenty-four in
the house, and five out of total of twelve
in the council. The Liberal organ says this
apportionment is fair one, inasmuch as
the Liberals are in the majority in Salt
Lake, Weber and Summit counties, which
contain nearly 49 per cent. of the total pop
ulation of the territory. Applying the
Tribune's method with strictness and we
find the Peoples party in the majority
