THE TARIFF On WHEAT.

The wheat crop of the United States ag-
gregates O0,OOO, 900 bushels per year,
while that of Canada is but 80, 600, 900
bushels, sixteen bushels in the United
States to each bushel in Canada. We ex-
port annually four times as much wheat as
Canada produces, and still the Republican
orators are insisting that the Mckinley bill,
which increased the duty on wheat from 20
cents to % cents per bushel, will save the
American farmer from having his market
flooded with Canadian wheat, and thus
keep up the price Of American wheat. The
people of Canada cannot raise wheat any
cheaper than we can, and certainly could
not pay the freight TO our markets and
then undersell US. Again, We are not want
ing TO buy wheat: we raise all we can eat
and millions to spare. The Canadians will
carry their wheat to a people who want to
buy wheat and not TO a people who already
have more than they can possibly use.
These are the rules that govern the buying
and selling of every other commodity. You
can't sell to any people the very goods
they can't use. And yet the farmers are
urged to be Republicans because there is a
tariff on wheat Why, if there was no
duty, and if every surplus bushel Of Cana
dian wheat was thrown upon the American
market it would not affect the price one
cent bushel.

AT LAST.

DAT last the councilmanic cases have been
finally decided by the Supreme court, the
judgment being, as everybody knew it
would be, against the members occupying
seats from the Third and Fourth Wards.
The case was clear enough all the time, and
the incumbents never for a moment thought
they were entitled to the seats. It was not
to their credit that they took advantage OF
the tricks which the law permitted to hold
on and keep the rightful claimants out, nor
was it to the credit of the party which
encouraged and sustained them in the
wrong doing For seventeen months of the
two years term the majority of the people
of the Third and Fourth Precincts have
been deprived of representation in the
council. We also believe that things have
been done in the council which would not
have been done if the councilmen who
were elected had been permitted to occupy
the places TO which they were entitled.
However. the law has made this wrong
possible, and there has been nothing else to
dc than to submit until such time as the
ability to delay was overcome and ex-
hausted.
The retiring members are Messrs. ARM
STRONG, WoLsTENHoLME, HALL, NOBLE and
COIN, the other of the six, Mr.. PEMBROKE,
having gone out voluntarily several weeks
ago. The gentlemen who will soon take
their seats and serve the remaining seven
months of the term are Messrs. POLAND,
HARDY, HYDE, You've, TUDDENHAM and
SMITH.
In this connection it may be stated as a
matter of some Importance at this time.
that it is known that while the winners of
the fight were elected by the late Peoples
party, five of the six are pronounced Dem
ocrats and in full sympathy with the party
as now being organized in this city. The
Democracy will thus have pretty good
representation in the municipal govern

OUR TAMMANY RING.

If the Liberal party 10 not defeated in
this city at the next election, the city is
very likely to be cursed by ring OF cor
rupt politicians who will dominate its
affairs for their OWE advantage.
Already the ring has allied itself with
transient elements il the way of imported
workmen, contractors from other cities,
the ''flosters,'' and the non-property own
ing class generally.
To provide work for these imported
''fioaters," the cheap land in the suburbs
of this city can be practically confiscated
by special taxes for water mains, side
walks, streets, etc. Already the tax for
water mains has become oppressive in some
parts, as the amount of tax exceeds the
actual cost Of laying these mains. As this
work furnishes revenue to the city in
addition to paying for itself, and as it gives
work to large numbers of imported single
men while local men with families to sup
port stand idle, the danger Of placing the
city government IN the hands Of these trick

IDAHO DEMOCRATS.

We don't know that the Democrats In
Idaho are taking any steps looking to the
recovery of the control of their state. Idaho
is naturally Democratic, and we know that
a good many influential members of the
party keenly regret the apathy on the part
of some and the fanaticism on the part of
others which resultedin the turning of that
progressive commonwealth over to the
enemy. When it was too late TO retrace
the false steps the evil was seen. When
the Republicans held all the Democrats
discovered how cunningly they had been
duped. When two Senators, one Represen-
tatiye and three Presidential electors were
handed over to the Republican party, the
Democrats learned how cleverly they had
been overmatched by their INSCRIPTIONS
enemies.
The mischief has been done, however,
end il is not worth while to cry over split
milk. The mistake on the part of the
Democrats, when they went into the trap
so deity set for them, is confessed, and
the punishment is being inflicted and en- :
dured with as much grace as 1t is possible
m command. But there is no reason why
that blunder should be permitted to work
the perpetual discontinue Of the Idaho
Democracy. There is nothing whatever to
divide the Democrats of the state as
they have been divided in the past. There
is no other issue than party principles,
and these well.defned. There is no longer
any suggestion of excuse for an Idaho

THE PRIMARIES

The Democratic primaries in this county
will; be held on Monday evening, when
delegates to the county convention. called
for one week later, will be chosen. There
is not much to be done at these primaries it
is true, yet THE HERALD hopes that all
good Democrats will turn out to help do
that little. 1t is important that the work
shall be well done, and t is important that
there should be a general participation in
the doing. The convention, which will
convene on the 22d, will really give birth to
the party so far as this countyis concerned.
In the organization then perfected the vari-
Gus clubs and precinct organizations will
centre, and by it the machinery of the
county Democracy will be put in motion,
never again to stop. Therefore, we say it
is important that the many should be in at
the birth, and participate in the proceed
ings which shall start the great party of
the people On its grand mission Of regener-
alton and salvation.
In this connection let US suggest that in
the selection of delegates to the county
convention the greatest care and wisest
discrimination be exercised, only men
being chosen whose Democracy is unques-
toned, and whose Judgment is conceded.
1t is critical period in our political history
and during this time good, true and wise
men are needed TO guide the ship-men
who will steer the craft so as to avoid the
rocks which may beset tho course. There
are plenty of such men here, whose Dem
ocracy is a part Of their very natures,
whose knowledge of the community is
thorough and whose political wisdom may
be relied upon every time. If these men
shall be sent to the convention we may all
rest in confidence that no mistakes will be
made, and that the party will boom from
the very start
1.-THE HERALD is not troubled by doubt as
to the Democracy. Our belief is absolute
in the triumph of the party now being
brought into existence. We have no fears
even as to the outcome of the first election
under the new order Of things. We believe
that the Democrats will carry this county
and every other county in the territory
with possibly one exception. Our solicit
tude, therefore, regarding the attendance
at the primaries, is not because of any
fears as to the party's success. We want
that triumph 10 be of such magnitude as
fairly to overwhelm the opposition, and
quiet the vain ambition of those who are
trying to destroy in the people the latter's
belief in the principles Of Democracy.
Democrats, show at the primaries on
Monday evening how numerous you are,
how correct is your estimate Of men, and
how terribly in earnest you are that this
county shall be Democratic in its govern
mept

AN ORGANS LOGIC.

An Ogden Republican paper copies from
the New York Press a statement in which
the wages of the bricklayers of England and
of New York are given. AS everybody knew,
American bricklayers receive more per day
than their English brothers. But when
our Ogden contemporary claims that the
difference in wages is caused by the tariff,
the editor exhibits most pitiable ignorance
or most astounding impudence. Bricklay-
ers cannot be benefited by our tariff sys-
tenn: ready-made brick houses are not
imported by our people; brick walls are
not made by the ''pauper labor" of Europe
and exported. Nor is there a tariff on
bricklayers. There is no protective tariff
to foster the home made workman, and no
revenue tariff on the immigrant. The
bricklayer's occupation is not protected,
either directly or indirectly. His labor is
sold on free trade market, and il we ex-
clude the editor of the Ogden sheet, we
shall be safe in asserting that not even the
craziest protectionist will say that the
bricklayer receives any direct benefit from
tariff taxation. There is every reason why
he should receive higher wages than in
England. America has more houses to
build than England. In single year
81. 900 new homes were made on the
prairies OF one territory. That necessitated
the erection of 81, 900 new houses; it created
a demand for bricklayers and made their
wages high. Fully one hundred thousand
new houses are built each year in this
country. Our unoccupied land. unoevel-
oped mines aad growing population have
demanded an expansion, Q creation Of the
new. Europe is grown, ripe, finished. and

time it achieved its independence up to
1860 1t had occasionally coquetted with
protection, but never really adopted it as a
policy before that time.
Statistics prior to 1850 are not reliable,
but since that time the census figures may
be regarded as fairly accurate These
show that the general prosperity was
twice greater under tariff for revenue than
under protection. The United States
tried free trade for ten years and protec-
ton for ten years. Free trade, that Is,
tariff for revenue, was tried from 1850 to
1850. Protection, that is, war taxes, was
tried from 1870 to 1850. The decade from
1850 to 1870 was the period of transition
from free trade to protection.
The Tenth Census of the United States.
vol VII, page S, shows the results as be-
tween these two periods. Take first the
free trade era:
Total wealth. lS5, 0sas SIS 15s6l6.Oes
Wealth per capita SS 5l4
Increase per capita 70
Now take the protection period:
1870. 1850.
H.
Wealth per capita $50 GU
Increase per capita
during the decade W
That is, while the total wealth Of the
United States more than doubled under a
tariff for revenue. an increase OF over lOO
per cent, under protection the total wealth
increased only 43 per cent. The compare
tive growth was thus more than twice as
fast under the revenue tariff. But the
question is not one merely of totals. We
must consider also how many the total IS
divided among in order to estimate the real
growth.
In 1850 the wealth per head was s30S,
which had increased in 1850 to S5l4, an in
crease of s2O6 per head during the years OF
low tariff.
In 1870 the wealth per head was $50,
which increased to $50 in 1850, an increase
of $50 per head during ten years Of low
tariff.
1t may be necessary to state that the esti-
mates for the total wealth Of 1870 and 1850
include all property. taxed and untaxed.
The tables of total wealth given for 1850
and 1860 include only taxed property. This
explains the apparent increase in national
wealth during the war period from 1860 to
1870. Actually there was a decrease dur
ing this decade. Only about half the prop
erty of the United States is taxed; the
other half escaped the enumerators Of 1856
and 1850. But in 1870 and 1850 the other
taxed half was estimated from the returned
value of taxed property.

This explains the haste to extend the
mains everywhere without increasing the
water supply at the same rate. 1t pays
the city handsome revenue besides Turn
ishing hundreds of voters from abroad 10
vote the Liberal ticket. There is no rea-
son why these mains shall not be extended
as far into the fields as city lots will bring
500 piece sold under the hammer OF the
public auctioneer. So with sidewalks,
street sprinkling, street grading, etc.
At the same time that property is being
confscated in one part Of the city for the
payment of special taxes, that OF other
sections can be exempted from special
taxes This is actually being done at the
present time. The city is now, we are In
formed on good authority, laying the
water mains on Stats street icithout special
local tdration. AT the same time it is lay
ing mains everywhere else at local ex-
pense.
Judge ZANE recently decided that the
city has right to supply one part OF the
city with improvements at general ex-
pense ank subsequently make other parts
pay all the cost of the same Improvements,
if there was no intention on the part Of the
city to bring about this unequal taxation OF
different sections. Now the two systems
of taxation are going on at the same time.
State street mains are paid for by the city !;
those of other places by a special tax,
which is greater than the actual cost OF
laying the mains.
This means that property in one part OF
the city can be confiscared by special taxes,
and these taxes devoted to the improve
ment of property in other parts of the city.
The law awards it and the court gives it.
This is only a sample of what Tammany
ring in this city may be expected to do
for US.
The meaning Of Liberal supremacy as
against all other parties is the confiscation
of property for the hiring of enough men
in the public works to vote for the ring and
keep the politicians forever reveling in the
spoils OF office.

Wool trains are seen almost every day

for US poor southern Utes; they convert
the greasewood, sage brush, cedar boughs
and all noxious weeds, which nothing else
will eat, into wool, and wool is cash, royal
cash, always.
The fruit crop in the Sewer valley is a
grand success this year. / have never seen
q better prospect for apples, plums and
small fruits, and probably a small per-
centage of peaches.
Grain crops are also very good, the late
rains having given them a new start and
the dry farmers are going TO have fine
crop this year, the late cold spell having
stopped the melting of the snow, and last
week quite q covering was put onto the
mountain ranges, possibly foot or more.
Cattlemen and sheep men are also rejoicing
for the providence melted out to them.

labors only to supply daily wants and keep
up repairs. We are developing, building
and expanding. Why should wages not be
higher here than in older and more densely
populated countries!
III the tariff does affect the wages OF
bricklayers as the Ogden amateur claims,
then they should receive higher wages n
high tariff than in low tariff countries.
Bricklayers should receive higher wages
in Austria or in Germany than IN England.
Germany is blessed with protective sys-
tenn little better than ours, while Austria's
tariff laws are even more barbarous tnan
ours. Wages, including those OF brickIay-
ers, should be higher in Austria than IN
Germany and higher in Germany than IN
England. What are the factsi England
is practically free trade. England pays
higher wages than Germany and much
higher than Austria.
Bricklayers are paid per week:
In England and $3.50
In Germany SCI
In Austria. --.------------------- OBJ
The lowest wages are in the country hsv-
ing the highest tariff and the highest wages
in the free trade country.
According to the Ogden editors logic we
have proved:
England a free trade country
wages are higher than in Germany or in
Austria; therefore free trade makes wages
higher.
Austria has a high tariff; wages in Aus
tria are low; therefore high tariff makes
wages low.
