MORE ABOUT SUGAR.

The junior Republican organ made an
other display of itself yesterday in regard
TO the sugar bounty. The MCKINLEY law
says the bounty OF cents a pound is TO be
paid to the producer OF sugar testing not
less than ninety degrees by the polari-
scope" The bounty IS not TO be paid till
the sugar is finally brought to this perfec-
tion. Hence it will be paid to the refners
and to no one else. The junior organ is Sc
anxious to show that it is the farmer who
will get the bounty, that it says:
The bounty is not to be paid 10 the refiners.
number of farmers can associate themselves
together and put up beet sugar mill 10 reduce
their own beet product, and in their organized
capacity they viii collect the bounty. ANY
single farmer can do this if he has the means.
OF course "any single farmer can rake
in this bounty IF he has the means" to put
up a sugar mill. That will cost a mere
$4,000 10 begin with. Evidently, then,
the road to wealth is open to every poor
farmer that can raise half million of dol
lars for the erection of a sugar plant.
The junior organ also says of THE
HERALD:
standing the fact that that bounty will be of
enormous benefit to Utah.
The HERALD is rot fighting the sugar
bounty, but has shown that on all sugar
produced IN this country there is TO be a
transfer of two cents pound that for
merly went into the treasury 10 the owners
Of the sugar mills. If Utah produces more
than her proportion of the sugar produced
in the United States, our retiners will get
more out of the bounty fund than the peo-
pie of Utah pay into it, but not otherwise.
In any case, all our refners gain wdl be
paid by other people, unless our Repub-
lican friends will hasten 10 assure US that
the foreigners pay the bounty as well as
the tariff tax.
The question of temporary bounties, how
ever. is much different from that of per-
petual tariff taxation for the sake OF ''pro-
lection" In the former case the people
know how much they are paying, to whom,
for how long, and for what specific pur-
pose. In the case of tariff taxes, they know
none of these things. The question of Civ
ing an industry a start is very different
from running up taxes in favor of indus
tries tina, have been in operation for over a
hundred years.
Then the junior organ says OF TIE HER
AID:
II does not dare meet the question fairly, but
hides itself behind wall OF prejudice and mis-
represent facts in order 10 influence its readers
This is rare piece OF mendacity. This
paper devoted several columns mainly TO
giving the official statistics relative to
sugar. The Republican organ dares not be
specific in its charge that we ''misrepre-
sent facts" Neither does it even dare to
let its readers see any of the facts we have
quoted on the sugar question. And no Re
publican dares face these facts. The only
ching Republican paper or advocate can
do is to make vague general assertions and
then run away from the tariff reformer.

RAILROAD NEEDS.

We understand that the simultaneous
visit to this city of the heads of the Union
Pacific and of the Rio Grande railroads is
purely accidental; but as each party sur
veys the field and considers the situation,
it cannot fail to find here points of common
interest, such, for instance, as the advis =
ability Of building a union depot, which the
local officers of both companies may well
urge upon the attention of those gentlemen.
The Rio Grande Western railroad, il
seems TO US, appreciates more fully the
necessity Of extending its lines throug
Utah, and when the Tintic and Marysvale
branches are completed, it will be more than
ever convinced of the wisdom of its enter
prise. We have the estimate of one of the
most sagacious officials of the ROAD for the
statement that both lines will pay from the
first as they tap some of the richest mining
and farming and fruit growing regions of
the territory. Usually a railroad is de-
pended upon to develop the resources Of
new country, while in this case the re
sources are already in an advanced stage of
development We hope that the prospects
may induce the Rio Grande people to reach
template
As for the Union Pacific il is to be re-
GREETED that the new management aban-
doned the work Oh the Phoebe extension
which the old administration had not only
planned, but commenced, all the surveys
being made, the lines located, and the grad
ing for distance of thirty miles completed.
Although MIR. GOULD announced it to be his
policy to improve the service on the exist
ing lines before starting any new ones, it
may, upon personal inspection, be willing
and able to convince him that it would be
well TO make an exception in this case. 1t
IS needless TO comment upon the advant-
ages that would necessarily accrue to Salt
Lake ana Utah and the Union Pacific COM
pany from the building of this road.
Whatever may be the result of the visit
of the president, general manager and other
high officers of the corporation to Salt Lake
city, TWO improvements they will find to
be imperatively demanded. Que is the
broad -gsuging of the Garfield branch, and
the other the enlargement OF the shops here.
If the gentlemen noted the crush and the
discomfort experienced on the opening day
at the beach last Saturday, which was oy
no means exceptional, they will be con-
WINGED of the inadequacy of the present
service. Z As for the shops, the judgment Of
the late Chief Engineer BoGUE is matter
of record.

that the powers not granted to the United
States by the constitution, nor prohibited
by it to the states, are reserved to the
states respectively, or to the people. Win
the adoption of these amendments all OPP
position to the constitution was Withdrawn
and those who had contended for large
individual freedom and the paramount i'm
portance of local self government, as well
as those whose principles led them to cen
tralize power in the general government,
accepted the constitution as rightly dlvid-
ing the powers of government between
the states and the nation.
1t was but to be expected, however,
that those who had contended for
the preservation Of the largest pos
sible individual liberty consistent with
the peace and good order of society, and
the sovereignty of the states should con-
tend for fair construction of the powers
granted by the constitution TO the genera
government; while, on the other hand, the
devoted advocates of centralized power
sought to give the constitution broad
construction of the powers it created. 1t
was this consideration which divided the
parties under the constitution first adopted,
and it has been and is the chief basis of
party division, from which, however,
spring many other but subordinate issues.
OF the merits of this controversy be-
tween the two great national parties the
people of Utah are now called upon 70 de-
eide for themselves. Shall they give their
allegiance to party whose principles tend
to the Capitalization OF power in the gen.
eral government, or TO that party
which gives prominent Importance to
the preservation of local elf-government!
To the party giving a broad, not to say
loose, construction of the powers conferred
upon the general government, or to that
party which insists that the constitution
shall be strictly construed and not only
that every usurpation but every tendency
thereto shall be resisted! We are not
afraid but what our good citizens will
choose wisely and well; and that they will
select the Democratic party-the part y
which stands for the freedom and indie
pendence of the individual, for the preser-
walton OF local self-government. for a strict
construction of the powers created by the
constitution, the party which resists the
tendency TO usurpation. The overwhelm-
ing majority of them will identify them
selves with that party because its prin-
ciples will best preserve the liberties of the
people, and are most likely to perpetuate
our free Institutions.

POLITICS IN CHURCH.

We understand that MIR ANGUS NJ. CAN
SON, president of the Salt Lake stake, took
advantage of the large congregation assem-
bled in the tabernacle on Sunday morning
to deliver a political hsrangue, during
which he announced that he was a Repub-
lican. and gave out the inference that he
would like 10 have large following from
among his hearers. Now, The HERALD
dosen't care anything about Mr.. CANSoN's
politics, conceding that it was politics
which he talked; no der we apprehend that
he will convert many TO his way of think
ing, for this happens to be America and not
Russia, and his address was to freemen
who know the difference between republi-
can principles and institutions of
government, and the autocratic doc
trine which he taught. While we
DO not fear that Mr.. CANNoN's
views, which are quite as un-Republican as
they are Democratic, will lead any
body astray, we cannot but suggest that a
church is not place, and a religious meet
ing not the time to deliver political ad-
dresses. We don't believe the people ike
that sort of thing; we don't believe they
90 to church foT that purpose, and we do
believe they will resent the taking adyant-
age of them in this manner. If it shall so
happen that TEE HERALD is mistaken in its
estimate of the people, and there is popu-
lar desire to turn churches into halls for
political discussion and convert pull
pits into stumps from which to
deliver political harangues, we sub
NIT that under the circumstances
fair play to church goers would demand
that Democratic orators be given an equal
chance with Republicans to talk to the
people, more Of the latter being Democrats
than Republicans. Perhaps Democrats
would entertain a higher regard for the
proprieties than Mr.. CANNON has shown
and we hope this would be the case-and
would decline to discuss partisan politics
and principles from the pulpit, their re-
marks being interspersed with hymns and
rounded off with the doxology; but We GER
tainly think that if Republican is TO have
the use of the church and the worshipers
on one Sunday, a Democrat should be ten
dered the privilege of doing effective work
within the sacred walls on the following
Sabbath.
Seriously and earnestly, Mr.. CANNON was
guilty of a mistake last Sunday when he
talked politics in the tabernacle
TO that body OF religious wor-
shippers assembled to hear of other
things than ''strong government" ''pre-
lection" and so on. 1t was a mistake and
we believe the people so regard it.

SIR JOHN MACDONALD.

Unless the cuts Of the Canadian premier
hat have recently come to our view are
wofully defective, there is q strong facial
resemblance between him and the late
British premier. BEACoNsFIELD. However
that may be, the two men were certainly
much alike in mental equipment and in the
means they employed to achieve political
ends. Sir JOHN MACDoNALD's last cam
paign was fought with all the dramatic
auxiliaries which the dead earl was wont
to employ and his individuality was the one
decisive factor in that exciting election.
ssThe old flag, the old policy and the old
leader" was the battle Cry with which the
Conservative party went into the contest
and issued victor. A test vote on motion
by the opposition in the Canadian parlia-
ment TO amend the franchise act, showed 9

WHY THEY DIVIDED.

AT the close OF the American revelation
not only for themselves but for all man
kind, discovered it to be necessary to re-
construct the government under which they
had struggled for independence in such a
manner as TO form more perfect union,
establish justice, insure domestic tran
quility and provide for the common de-
fence. The convention called to revise the
old articles of confederation finally drafted
the present constitution. In its construc-
ton various influences were at work.
There were the love Of freedom on the one
other: desire to construct the new gov
eminent on basis entirely new, and an
attachment for English institutions; for
Notwithstanding theAmericans had suffered
oppression at the hands Of the British gov
ernment still, for the most part, they
looked upon that oppression as rather an
abuse CT the power of government recog-
nized in the English constitution than an
evil in the form of government itself;
hence it happened that many were still at
tached to English institutions and looked
ing the institutions of the new government
they were constructing. There were those
anxious to Emerge the separate sovereign
ties of the several states into one incorpor-
ate union, and thus to form. of all the
states, one single national republic, instead
of q federal republic of distinct states"
Others again were equally anxious to pre-
serve the sovereignty of the respective
states and were unwilling to yield any
great measure Of power to the central gov
eminent. The sufferings occasioned in the
colonies by the oppression of England
were still fresh in their minds and made
them especially careful about granting
power to the central government they con-
templsted lest that, like the English gov
eminent, should become oppressivs; and
while there were those who thought their
liberties would be best secured by the es-
adjustment Of strong central govern
ment these looked upon the consolidation
Of the government as the worst Of all evils.
All these parties and influences were at
work in the formation of our present con-
stitution. When the work of the conven-
ton which framed it was completed and the
result submitted to the people Of the re-
spective states the new constitution met
with strong opposition, chiefly from those
more anxious to preserve the liberty of the
individual and the sovereignty Of the re-
spective states. They thought too much
power had been given to the general gov
ernment, while the freedom of the individ-
uai and the sovereignty OF the states were
not sufficiently guarded, Their op-
position resulted in the adoption of the
first ten amendments to the constitution
which may not be improperly considered as
the American bill of rights, recognizing the
equality of all men and their right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The
first provided for non-interference in mat
tiers of religion by Congress, the tenth said

ever produced, and by the side Of him even
such eminent leaders as Sir HENRY PARKEs
OF Australia and CECIL RHODES, of Cape
Colony, sink to a secondary rank. None
but man Of the highest ability could have
sustained himself in MAcDoNALD's posi-
ton through all the changes and vicissi-
tudes of a career SO protracted that sixty
seven out Of the seventy-six members Of
the Canadian senate have been his nomi-
nees. None but man of his wonderful re-
sources could be expected to govern with q
majority so reduced and with q growing
public opinion so manifestly hostile to it.
No wonder the news Of his illness creates
profound commotion IN Great Britain.
In the United States, too. his death would
make deep impression as marking an i'm
minent crisis in the relations of the two
countries Inflexibly loyal to his mother
country, Sir JOIN MACDONALD was the last
great barrier to that union between US and
Canada which must ultimately result in
the total absorption of the latter.

PROJECTIONS HOME MARLET.

! Not many months ago, several of the
great Democratic journals gave complete
exposure of the fact that our protected
manufacturers charge our own citizens
more for goods than they charge foreigners.
There are two journals published in New
York which are devoted exclusively to the
export trade in American manufactures
/ These are the american Mail and Export
Journal and the AUstrdldsidn and South
american. They are issued monthly and
have as their chief department price list,
which gives the lowest price at which
goods advertised can be obtained from the
manufacturers. The prices quoted in these
journals are declared to be the rock bottom
prices for articles in small quantities. such
as by the piece, dozen. case, etc. 1t is diff
cult to get copies of these, as they are pub
lished for circulation in foreign countries
only. The reason they ere not sold in this
country is, as stated by the editor of one OF
them, because the retail prices quoted for
export are considerably lower than large
dealers must pay for the same articles at
wholesale.
The Engineering aud Mining Journal pub
fishes in its issue on the first of each mon tn
price current With the statement that
discounts are for export only" This
export supplement- is not sold in this
country, but can be obtained by any person
writing for it
The advertisements in these papers of
manufactures offered to the foreigner, to-
gether with the cuts aud figures and prices,
have been photographed and placed side by
side with the same advertisements intended
for the American reader. In one of the pa
pers mentioned the advertisements con-
tinue for forty-two columns. They show
that to the foreigner the protected mill
Owners sell their goods at from 10 70 20 per
cent. less than to the American buyer. One
American advertisement offers two plows,
for example, numbered 30 and "a, to Ameri-
can purchasers at IS and SIS respectively.
The foreign advertisement offers these sumo
plows, illustrated by the same cuts and with
the same numbers, TO the foreign purchaser
for 81 and 50 respectively. Mowers, horse
rakes, cutters, cu!tivators and sweeps are
likewise offered to the foreigner at
large discount OF the price at
which any American can get them.
Many facts concerning how the "home
market Is worked by our pro-
tected manufacturers have been col
iected into pamphlet by the Tariff Re-
form committee, SO William street, New
YORK. The price of this pamphlet is three
cents. We make few selections from the
lists of advertisements of identical articles
on which the protection is about 45 per
cent that it has collected and placed side
by side:
