TWO WAYS OF LOOKING AT 1T.

AS illustrating the effects of reducing
the tariff, we call attention to the price
of sugar. This is an article everyone
uses and without taking anybody's
word for it each housewife can figure
out for herself about how much tax her
family paid on this article last year.
All recollect that up to the passage of
the MCKINLEY law, which put sugar
on the free list from those countries
where we get most of this article, it cost
here in Provo about eight and one-half
or nine dollars sack. Now when we
are allowed TO buy where we can get
sugar the cheapest, we get it delivered
t our own door for 1915 per sack-a
difference of about three dollars on
every hundred pounds, so if bought
three sacks of sugar last year you paid
tax of niue dollars on that article
alone.
Take the tariff law and look oyer the
dozens of little articles you are buying
each day, and you will find the same
high tax is being levied upon you with
out your knowledge.
If it is good to admit sugar free and
pay a bounty 10 infant industries to
protect them, why isn't it good to re-
duce it on clothing, plows, rakes and
the hundreds OF other articles of neces-
sity?

WHERE HAsTHAT SURPLUS GONE?

The available surplus in the treasury
reaches the manitigcent sum Of a mill
lion and quarter. The government
at Washington seems to be sailing
pretty close to the wind
In order to make even this poor
showing it is necessary to sweep up all
the small coin in the national vaults.
We are reminded of the man who made
an inventory of his possessions and
counted the nickles and copperS in his
trousers pockets.
Uncle Sam, who smiled at the one
hundred millions in the treasury three
years ago, is about as disgusted an indi-
vidual as can be found in these parts.
He hasn't very much to be proud of, it
must be admitted. However, the Re
publicans have been faithful to their
pledges in this matter. Mr.. FRYE of
Maine, speaking in their name, prom
ised that if the party should get
another Whack at the presidency they
would make the treasury as empty as a
countryman on his first sea voyage.
They have kept their word religiously,
and here we are with the prospect of a
deficit in the near future.

TAKE YOUR POPGUN AWAY.

Last evening the Enquirer again tried
to prove that protection don't protect.
If its figures are correct, then protection
is a failure and should be knocked in
the head for that reason. 1t says that
for the ten months ending April 3Oth
there has been an increase in our i'm
ports over SIMILAR periods in the past of
S107 ,394,724. Pray, what is your theory
of protection any how? Wasn't the
MoA inley law passed to keep out for
eign goods? Hav'nt you been trying
to make your readers believe for the
past ten days THAT is, ever since you
became ''life long Republican'') that
this same high tariff keeps competitors
out? Certainly, but what now? Your
own figures fatty contradict this great
theory. Friend, don t hold your pop
gun so close to your own Republican
nose; in other words, don't write
editorials on this tariff question, but
carefully copy them ready made from
the New York Press or some other
good Republican paper, else your party
must mu7Zle YOU.

NOW FOR WATERWORKS.

As the days. weeks and months roll on
without any movement being made to-
ward establishing waterworks in cur
fair city, the good citizens are becom-
ing impatient almost savage. When
men, who have invested the accumula-
tions of half a life time in business in
one of our streets, contemplate for a
moment the danger to which their
means of subsistence is exposed, they
grow pale and sick at heart, and no
wonder. Suppose match should be ac-
cidently ignited, a lamp overturned, or
by any other means a blaze should
start, say, in the Union block, what
would be the inevitable result? De-
struction, ruination OF business, and
injury to all. Every one real
ICES this. 1t is not necessary
to argue this point. 1t is plain tn all.
And so they want waterworks. They
have been demanding it for
years, and why cannot they have it?
Not because Provo can't afford it. She
is amply able either by direct taxation,
(if sufficient sum could be raised
that way or by bonding, or by selling
some of the city's dead property to put
in at once good system.
We believe if a vote were called to-
morrow there would be an unanimous
vote in favor of a sufficient expenditure
to put in a system worthy of our thriv-
ing city.
And then such magnificent facilitiesl
Few such streams as Provo river are
to be found anywhere. Why, Salt Lake
city would give millions for just one
half our crystal stream. The
power we could command would
be wonderful. With such quail
itY of water. such volume and such a
fall, we believe that Provo with "A
small expenditure could put in bet
ter system of water works than any
other city in Utah, if not in the West.
Not alone to quench fire do we need
the water, but for sprinkling the
streets, irrigating lawns, and for culi-
nary purposes. In order to preserve
the health of the city something must
be done to furnish every house in the
more thickly populated part of the
city with supply of pure water. AS
it is. we are drinking the dregs of our
back yard. We believe that
for some months past the hands of the
city council have been tied so that little
could be done in this matter, but now
we know of no Instructions to a rapid
and complete solution of this question
City Fathers, if you desire lifelong
fame from this generation, strike now,
bond the city, do most anyway to build
for Provo.

HOME MARKET HUMBUG.

Manufacturers say to the farmer,
Protect us so that we can build mills;
pay us higher prices than you do 9th
ers; give US business, and we will en-
ploy a lot of men to eat your produce,
and give you a home market for all you
can raise" But since 1861 the manu-
facturers have grown rich, while the
farmer, once the envy of all humanity,
has been retrograding comparatively.
In fact the mill-owners, all their EN-
ployes and the miners combined, in
clude less than ten per cent. of our
working population. And the fact is,
since 1861, the farmer is to-day, under
high protection, more dependent than
ever upon foreign markets, and is forced
to find sale abroad for a larger proper
ton of what he produces than he did in
1850 under the free trade tariff.

She Wanted to Die.

SANTA FE, N. NJ, June 27.-An old
woman attempted suicide at the coun-
ty poor farm tonight. 1t was Mary
Stetson, 72 years of age, who had just
been released from the jail few days
previous. She is familarly known as
Grandmother, and was the Oldest
female prisoner ever confined in the
jail. One night in the beginning of
May she was found with bundle of
clothes and some cheap jewelry wand
ering around in the rain and slush,
Officer Keane arrested her and she was
given thirty days in the comfy Jail.
When she was released Mrs. Havens,
the matron, gave her dress small
white-handled penknife and secured
home for her at the county poor farm.
On Monday night she was found in an
clubhouse covered with blood. She had
attempted to cut the arteries in her
wrist, and several gashes were made.
One severed the artery and but for the
timely discovery she would have bled
to death. She was moved to the
county hospital where she is recover
ing. The physicians say she is insan>.
and steps will be taken to have her
placed in the insane hospital. She
told Mrs. Hayens that she wanted to
go back to Jail or die, as she had no
friends. She is French and can speak
but little English,

MANY YEARS AGO.
"reminiscences of the Prophets
Martyrdom.
County Recorder Daniels Distinctly Re-
calls to Mind the Excitement Attend
ing the Crime.

FortY-seven years ago yesterday oc-
curreu the martyrdOm of Joseph and
Hyrum Smith, at Carthage jail, Han
cock county, LII. Our county recorder,
James +. Daniels, was at that time at
Quincy, ILL.,, distance Of about forty
miles from the scene of the terrible
tragedy. He was then boy of seven
teen summers, but distinctly recollects
the occasion. The news flashed to
Quincy and was announced by the toll
ing of tirebells and the blowing of fog
horns on the ferry boats. One young
fellow, who had just arrived from Car
thage, Tan to the public square where
the people We're gathered, and, throw
ing his hat into the air, shouted at the
top of his voice, "Hurrah, 10 Smith is
killed."
The late President John Taylor, who
was present and wounded on the occa-
sion. says: 81 was sitting at one of the
front windows of the Jail when | saw
number of men, with painted faces,
coming around the corner of the jail,
and aiming toward the stairs. The
other brethren had seen the same, for,

Hyrum Smith and DR.. Richards al
ready leaning against it. They both
pressed against the door. with their

Richards and Brother Hyrnm leaped
back from the door. with their
faces toward it; almost instantly an
other ball passed through a panel cf
the door, and struck Brother Hyrum
on the left side Of the nose, entering
his face and head. At the same in
slant, another ball from the outside
entered his back passing through his
body and striking his watch. The ball
came from the back, through the jail
window, opposite the door, and must,
from its range, have been fired from
the Carthage Greys, who were placed
there ostensibly for our protection, as
the balls from the firearms shot close
by the jail, would have entered the
ceiling, we being in the second story,

The Case to be Investigated.

PHILADELPHIA, June 27.-In the
course of the investigation of the af-
fairs of ex-City Treasurer Bardsley, in
connection with the Glendenning & Co.
law department, it is learned that the
bankers who were depositors in the
Fourth Street National bank had on
May % received clearing house due
bill from that institution for $50, ,275. 5S.
About ten days ago it was presented by
a messenger of the City Trust company
who asked that the bill be made paya-
BILE to their order instead of Glenden-
ming & Co.
This request was made on behalf of
Bardsley, who said the due bill was his
property and not public money. Miss
latham, a niece of Bardsley's, who
made the request, said her uncle
wanted to have it transferred this way
to the Trust company. The demand
of the Trust company was refused and
the city solicitor, after investigating
the matter, had bill filed in the court
of common pleas against Bardsley, his
wife and niece, the Fourth Street Ma
tional bank, Glendenning & Co., and
the City Trust company.
The injunction asks that the Fourth
street bank be restrained from paying
the bill. and that Bardsley, his wife
and niece be restrained from negotia-
ting it and compelling them to trans
fer it to the city authorities. 1t was
also asked that Glendenning 81 Co. be
compelled to explain the transactions
which led to Bardsley getting the due

WHY THE DISTINCTION?

The MCKINLEY tariff bill adds, on
the average, 70 per cent. more to the
cost of goods used and purchased by the
masses of the people, than it does to
the goods used and purchased by the
wealthy.
Friends of that bin Will have some
trouble to explain why these distinc-
tions have been made in readjusting
tariff rates. For instance:
Fine cashimeres, worn only by the
wealthy classes, was advanced but 25
per cent.
Fine broadcloth, also worn only by
the rich, was advanced only 20per cent.
Woolen goods, which the poor man
wears, was advanced 40 per cent.
Why this difference?
Seal skin sacques, which are for the
rich and prosperous, was reduced SO
per cent.
Imitation seal skin sacques advanced
l2O per cent, and plush sacques ad-
vanced l20 per cent.
The poor mans goods advanced, the
rich mans reduced. Why?
Silk vests, no advance.
Cotton velvets advanced 100 per
cent.
Who will explain why this difference
is made?
SILK Innings for the rich mans clothes,
no advance.
Cotton Innings for the poor mans
clothes advanced 285 per cent.
Will some MCKINLEY tariff man ex-
plain the reason for the above differ
ence?
Again:
Black silk dress goods, no advance.
The well-to do wear silk.
Black alpaca dress goods advanced
66 per cent. The dress for the poor
mans wife.
Also:
Silk laces advanced only 20 per cent.
Cotton laces advanced so per cent.
Wives of poor men, urge your hus-
bands to vote against the party that
perpetrated these outrageous distinc-
tions, and maintains them and up
holds them.
