A LOST OBJECT LESSON.

THE "Jiberalr organ published In
this city Is unhappy in pointing TO
what II inaptly regards M an object
Lesson, illustrative OF "Mormon" In.
sincerity. The conclusion l. based on
an assertion 10 the etiec, that although
the Peoples party has divided on
national lines, they silll vote together
with unbroken unanimity.
Among the leading questions that
have been presented for action In the
Council since the former Peoples
party men obtained, after long walt,
the seats which were stolen from them
by tho "Libersl" party In the first
place, are, according TO our recollection,
the following; The appropriation for
water mains for the northern part Of
the North Bench; the extension Of the
foundation OF the Joint city aud
county building; the reduction
OF the excessive tax levy on
real estate and improvements,
the abolition Of the Office Of Captain Of
Police. The cx.People's p,riy Nom.
bcTs have voted pretty sollily on these
questions. They were, however, d.
vlded on one--the enlargement Of tho
foundation Of the Joint building. A.
10 the general correctness Of the posi-
tons they have taken, there IL not
much division Of opinion among the
people u this city. In view Of the
large public revenue derived from the
sale Of the lots 10 be- covered by the
proposed extension Of mains on tho
northern line of the city, many
people disagreed with the view taken
by the members referred 10 ON that
question. As a rule, however, their
action on measures has been uBques.
tlonAbly sOund. some OF the "Lihcral"
Couucllmen have acted with sufficient
consistency, In line with the demand
OF the public veal, 10 vote on tho same
side Of subjects that have arisen.
Now, the comparative unanlmity Of
the cx.memberr Of the late Peoples
party Ia pointed at rs au evidence tina,
Enormous" always vote onc way, not
withdrawing their profession Of having
divided on national lines. The COLLECT
lesson" In that regard Is lost In tho FOX
Of inspplloablllty. The fact Is that all
that class Of members Of the Council
belong to one political party. They
are, without exception, Democrats. II
Ia also noticeable fact that the
other members are no. entitled to be
called either Democrats or Republicans,
being opposed TO division ON national
llnes-they are "iiberals." II there
he an exception 10 this rule, II
Is Mr.. James, and his position "a only a
matter Of conIecture. Besides, 10 has
not been present at session OF the
Council for months, having been de-
tained, 80 we understand, on account
Of III health. Our unhappy cotempo.
rary should Introduce modlcum Of
logic into ia attempt, to keep up the
old an,agonlsms It has delighted to In
cite, foster aud perpo,ulte.

II this be- correct then tho profession OF

doctrine has been publicly renowned and
tho Mormons declare that there has not
been any deviation from the stand they
took a year ago. Unless the Commission
can disprovo this Il should cease to excite

QUITE CLEAR.

To alevel.hcaded observer, the merits

lated before Judge Loofbourow during
this week, seems perfectly clear. In

Are there any purposes In unison with
the Intent Of tho donors and lawful In
their character, to which the oscheRtod
personal property Of the Church can be
applledg The affirmative Of this Inter.
rogaiory has been plainly and incon.
troyertibly proved on the part Of the
contributors Of the fund. The support Of
thoFpoor aud building Of places Of
worship are In direct line with tn.
original objects OF the donors OF the
means In question. All efforts to show
thst there was ever the romotest pur.
pose on the part Of those who created
the fundby their con tr ibutions TO make
objects Of charity Of the non."AIor.
mon" peopleof Utah Is absurd ON il
face. The question OF public policy
enters into the question OF the advlsa.
bility Of thus humillating them, by
diverting the fund to the use and bene.

1t Is interesting to watch the change,
in our commerce wrought by the new
tariff bill. The Bureau of Statistici
OF the Treasury department has Just
issued its report for the month OF
April. During that month we import
ed goods to the aggregate value oi
S81, 276, 721, or about $40. .OOO, 900. more
than during April, 1890. Hence,
in place of cutting off imports, the new
tariff law has increased them. Now
by dividing the imports into those
which are free and those on which
duty is paid. we begin to zee the great
change in their character due to the
new law. We give the figures for the
month of April in each year to show
the change.

putiable nrchsndise. $50 rs iao7 ~. ~. .9s4
Free merchandise. 81. .fOi,oA T,4i6, 1875
Notice that the imports of goods or
the free list have almost doubled,
while the imports which pay duty
have fallen of more than GA. 000, 600
in one single month, hence we see
that the new tariff law does exactly
what 1t was declared IL would do:
First that 1t is reducing the revenue {;
second, that It gives freer trade than
either the old tariff law did, or that
Democratic humbug known as the
Mills hill would have done. Take
this In connection with the fact that
the free traders In spite of their howls
cannot point to any increase in the
price Of any of the necessaries of life
which can be traced directly to the
action of the new law, and we have
convincing evidence of its value. To

Providence seems to be on the side
of the American farmers this year.
Abundant crops are the rule through
out the country, and the fact that the
cereal crops are almost failures In In.
dia and Russia. which have been refer.
red to as Europe's granaries, makes il
certain that the farmers of the United
States will be able to get big prices for
their products. The farmers are TO be
congratulated; they have had hard
time for several years, but the turn
has now come and, thanks to the Ne. :
Kinley tariff law and the big crops,
they are to receive their share of the
country's prosperity. Republican leg
islation did not make the big crops.
but by enhancing the price OF farm
products it enabled the farmers to get
the full benefit of those big crops.

1t is strange to be reminded of the
fact at the present time, with the very
large number of farmers in the West
bowling about hard times and com
planning that they we're never so badly
off. that the things the farmer buys
have never been SO cheap in the his
tory of the country as at present.
The Minneapolis Tribune takes the
ground that the farmer of to-day ].
almost infinitely better of than the
farmer of the past, and presents the
following sample lot of contrasted
prices to prove its position:
Take the staple dry goods article,
calico. In 1870 It cost 5S cents yard
in 1880. 30 cents; in 1860, IL cents; in
1891, 5 cents.
Take the staple grocery article, SUI
gar. In 1890 it cost lSl cents for
ahaap hrn,~a srades; IN 1880, Is cents
in 1860, 10 cents; in 1891, 81 cents for
granulated.
For what the farmers sells, take the
staple dairy product, butter. The
prices in Massachusetts is are as follows
In 1870. IL cents; in 1880, 1S cents; in
1860. 26 cents; In 1891, 80 and So cents.
The staple meat product, dressed
beef, in Massachusetts, sold in 1890 at
only 81 cents; in 1880, n cents; in
1860, 12 cents; in 1891. 12to 1S.

The report of the statistician of the
Department of Agriculture shows AN
increase since April of last year OF
more thnn 100 per cent in the price of
corn and oats, 30 per cent and more
in wheat in primitive markets, 80 in
Chicago for choice beeves. and "a foi
Texans. and advanced values for all
cereals and meats. The elimination
OF the surplus corr, and oats through
underproduction last year insures
good prices for those crops. and the
shortage of the wheat crop of the

eign prospect for the growing crop,
promises the largest foreign demand

There is one among the myriad
falsehoods of the free traders concern
ing the new tariff law that has not as
yet shown up, so far as we can recall
Ii Ia, that II there Is any increase OF
price on an article from any cause what
ever, they at one declare that it is due
TO the tariff. Now It ought to be
plain TO every sensible man that the
causes which makes articles dearer
and cheaper, operate to their full eff.
feet, whether the imported article
pays duty or whether it is admitted
free.
A short coffee crop In Brazil would
raise the price in this country, al
though coffee has been on the free
list since 1873. The prospect of a
short wheat crop In Europe has raised
the price all over the world, irrespec.
tive of tariffs. IL Is always IT, order,
when any specific instance is given by
a free trader of a rise in price, to In.
vestigate and see what causes operat.
ed TO produce It. We know os no rise

Democracy and the Pensions. .

Democracy and the Pensions.
The challenge recently given to the
Democratic leaders and the Democrat
ic press in these columns TO answer the
inquiry whether or not the Democratic
party will repeal the pension laws IL
it comes into pp.---..-- a. = -------.--ed- by a
Democratic paper ofthis city. in a
III ost Ambiguous manner. 1.-The Dem.
ocratic party will not repeal any law
granting pensions to deserving old
soldiers. II SAYS. Then it will re-
peal nothing, and all the Democratic
cry about the corruption and extrava-
gance of Republican legislation in the
matter of pensions counts for no much
windy effort to create public senti-
ment against system which the Dem
ocrats will not repeal If they get into
power. The pension laws already
pro-sav tirs.t ..ea. L.t iASl~evr--ias, old
soldiers, their widows and orphans,
shall receive pensions. If any Demo
~ knows of any nndeserying soldier
on the pension roll, the production of
proof. TO the effect would remove him,
and the. Democrat who knows It
would be doing n patriotic act and a
loyal duty in making the exposure.
But that is not the Democratic pro-
cedure. With over half million
names on the pension list they take a
few examples of men who have been
put on the roll uDjustly as evidence
that the entire pension list is fraudu-
lent and corrupt. II 1t il 40 the pen
sion laws should be repealed, and the
only course for them TO pursue tn be-
consistent with the reckless. wild and
extravagant denunciation of the pen.
sion system in which they indulge, is
to demand the repeal of the pension
laws. There is no half way ground.
The sudden change In expression In
our Democratic contemporary - ass-
to a consideration of the attitude OF
the, Democrats, party in State con-
ventions last year on this subject, and
to the citation by The Press of the
enormous percentage of voters in the
Northern States who are interested in
pensions. The Democratic conven-
tions of last year in Connecticut, Ida
no, Michigan, Minnesota. New Hamp-
shire, Oregon and Wyoming favored
Liberal" pensions to soldiers, in Kan
sas Liberal and just, In Iowa ''equit-
able", and i'm Ohio 'just, liberal and
equitable;" and in no State was there
any declaration in favor of repeating
the pension laws or In favor nf their
revision on. any basis different from
that on which they are now construct.
ed. 1T is safe to say that the Demo
cratic leaders m the various States
know the powef of the old soldiers in
politics. They comprise over one-tenth
of the voting population in all the
States, and one-flfth or one-fourth of
the voters In the Northern States.
They are alarmed over the Democratic
attacks on the pension laws and sys-
TEN, and 10 Is certain they will not
permit the Democratic party to come
into power 6ntil'it very clearly defines
its position, On pensions, and II it
should indorse the present system In
