JAY GOULD OK THE TARIFF.

The Provo DISPATCH Dem. quotes
approvingly JAY GOULD's opinion OF
the MCKINLRY tariff as follows:
Il cannot see that the new tariff Will
be a disadvantage to the country. IL 1t
increases the cost of some articles peo-
pIe will use less of them. Take wool
for instance, Ii the tariff on wool
makes clothing cost more person will
get along with one suit. where he you'd
otherwise have two. JAY GOULD.
Comment is unnecessary, says the
D,5pATCH. But that is merely the
opinion af orr Democratic contempt
rarv If person could get along with
one wooden suit OF pufeiy American
material and manufacture, and dispense
with one of foreign make and material,
it certainly will not be denied the
country is richer than it would have
been if the money for the extra suit
had been sent Acknowledgment Stand
ard.
Or in other words, At the MCKINLEY
tariff on wool gives to the American
labofer but one suit of clothes, he is just
one suit better OF, Or again, if the
country is going TO be made rich
by taking our clothes would it be right
and who would be the rich fellows,
not those Eb0 could only have one suit
of clothes.
Or even again: If a person could
get along with one suit, how about
washday. and the day of mending; Or
but, oh heavens Protection and one
suit of clothes against the world, Why,
a man ought to get rich with no more
clothes than that.
But again. suppose MCKINLEY would
get to thinking that the tariff on wool
ought to be increased, and as We got
along with one suit we could, according
to GOULD and the Standard, get along
with half suit-say pair of socks
and a shirt-but how, like the devil,
we would look. But as the country
would be richer, why, We could stand
it. especially in warm weather. a rich
country with the people modestly at
tired in half suit would. no doubt, re-
mind us of the poems of Mexico. 1t is
confession as to what the Nc
KIxLEY bill is capable OF doing,
and half suit probably, or, as the tariff
might 90 up, our clothing would CORE
spondingly go down, until we skipped
around in our socks, and then wouldn't
the bees have fun with us! All, what
dag that would be and how much
richer the country. Oh, that tariff on
wool
Belgium is referred to as proof that
free trade Belgium being in a sense
a free trade country, that the
system is ruinous, and that notwith-
standing the energy and industry of the
people, they are paupers. II the state
ment is true, it proves nothing. The
laborers Of Austria, Russia and China,
highly protected countries, are in about
the same condition, and France and
Germany might almost be included in
the list, while, upon the other hand, if
protection controls wages, we might as
evidence to the contrary refer to Penn
sylyania, where protection reigns SUI
preme, and where the lowest wages are
paid, compared with any other state in
the Union.

WHY NOT RETRACT MANLY?

The Enquirer possibly realizes that
+, nos gone too far, for its own interests,
in its indiscriminate abuse Of the Dem
cratic party, and in last nights issue
its head tries TO make an apology
which its heart p has no part in. 1t
says:
1--WE have clearly shown that this
paper has never sought to apply one
single unkind epithet to our local Dem
ocrats.
Then, what in the name of common
sense does the following sentence
mean:
The party OF secessonists, free-trad-
ers, socialists, anarchists, and bum
mers is not the party to which the
people OF Utah will attach themselves.
Protection against all such classes
Is what the Republican proposes to
establish in this country.-KRqarer,
July T."
Here there is no exemption made of
our local Democrats, and in its next
issue it adds RSE-THIEVES. to its
infamous category OF appellations.
And now it tries to sneak out OF the
position, by accusing this paper of
''misconstruing and misrepresenting
its writings and motives" This is
false. We simply paralleled its own
utterances, and if its object was not to
viIlfy and malign its opponents,
against whom it could not justly
bring any specific charge what could
lis ject be? No doubt its maxim
was: Throw plenty of mud, some OF
il will ALWAYS stick.

LEGISLATIVE ROBBERY.

What do our Republican friends
think Of the following doctrine laid
down by the Supreme Court of the
United States? In the case of the Loan
Association vs.. Topeka, Justice MILLER
on behalf of the court, said:
TO lay with one hand the power Of
the Government on the property of the
citizen, and with the other beStow it
on favored individuals to aid private
Undertakings, and to build up private
enterprises. is none the less robbery
because it is done under the form Of
law and is called taxation. This is not
legislation, it is a decree under legisla-
tive FORM Beyond cavil there can be
no lawful tax which is not laid for a
public purpose. .
The theory of Mr.. MCKINLEY when
bis bill was before Congress was pro
lection with incidental revenue" Is
not such principle forbidden by the
Supreme Court decision above quoted?
The "liberal construction" advocate,
however, will say that the Constitution
may be stretched in this as in other
cases to suit the whims of few politi-
clans who are trying to blind the eyes
Of the masses to the truth of the situa-
ton.
1t is not so much on the constitution
atty Of the measure as to the utility
that this article was begun. Take the
tin plate industry for instance, about
which the Republicans are making so
much noise. Why is it that tin plate
has not been made in the United States
before? The only reason is because the
conditions Of the country have been
unfavorable to such industry. Those
who labor in the tin works of Wales
are especially adapted to the work both
by long practice and training. There
is no one in America that can make a
success Of the same without importing
Welshmen to do the most important
part Of the labor. The occupation is
injurious to the health of the workmen
and until some other process of dipping
is invented there will be no attractive

BRING OUT YOUR PROOFS.

The Enquirer accuses Democratic edl-
tors and speakers with misquoting the
writings of the Prophet JOSEPH
Smith and other venerated church
men TO prove that they we're not Re
public ms. This accusation we declare
to be false, and now call upon the
ENQUIRER TO state when and where any
such misquotations have been made.
Or if it can't point out facts TO substan-
tiate It's charge, let it swallow the lie by
keeping silent.
1t also charges us with attacking
JOHN HENRY SMITH, because being
an apostle, he thought proper to exer-
else his American right to announce
the fact that he was a Republican. y
This is likewise absolutely false.
Friend Enquirer, why can't you be hon
est, and tell the truth about your
neighbors. If you will quote in full what
we did say about JOIN HENRY SMITH
we will be perfectly satisfied to let youl
readers judge whether you have falsi-
fed or not. When JoHg HENRY SMITH
or any other man, mounts the rostFum
to make a political speech, his senti-
ments are public property, and anyone
has perfect right to comment on them,
and this is all we have done.

if they should call them "SECESSION'

! HORSETHIEVEs," all persons who

these persons would complain, but not
otherwise.

as soon as circumstances are favorable,

until then the majority OF the people
in the United States will be called

will be two burdens which will be put
ON them because, if the government
continues to squnder money as the last
congress did, the revenue derived from
the importation of tin will have to De

essaries of life, in addition to paying an
advanced price for every timed ar tlcle

on this subject of protection we also
hear a great deal about our workmen
having to compete with foreign pauper
labor. DANIEL WEBSTER once sad:
1.-The people of this country cannot al

A SORRY SPECTACLE.

Whenever political discussion degene.

singing, it becomes Improbable, de
basing and vulgar. Our new hedgeC
Republican advocate, the Enquirer, j:
doing its party poor service in resorting
TO the tactics of the bully and black
guard, instead OF reason and logic; anC
it is to be hoped that the respectable
element in our local Republican party
will call a halt to these disgraceful pro
ceedings on the part of their organ.
We realize full well the CALLING which
the wearing of the new collar causes

and Furthermore it is imprudent i'll you
TO challenge anybody to prove that you
ever declared yourself a Democrat
when in nearly every issue, up to with.
in two or three months, you advocated
Democratic principles, and posed as an
admirer of the CLEVELAND adminiStra-
ton. Such conduct leaves our evening
friend in the unenviable position OF be
ing either approximation or a hypo.
critic, We think it would have
been less humilating, and Ger.
tainly more honest to have
taken the bull by the horns and owned
up that a change OF conviction, as tc
political principles. We earnestly
commend the following from a late ar
ticle in the Dessert Ne,os, for the con.
sideration Of the Enquirer;
"Some of the orators and writers on
either side are getting down to the leyel
of the mere partisan, miSrepresent-
ing the doctrines, aims and acts OF
their adverSaries, and using the com
mon clap-trap of electioneering tactics
1t will be a matter of great regret il
former members of the Peoples party
shall indulge in this kind of humbug
and deception.
Whatever errors political parties may
have imbibed, it is not true that either
of them has in view the destruction OF
this Nation, the overthrow of the Ma
tional Government, or the establish
ment of mefafcbjal or other form OF
despotism. The Democratic party does
not want anarchy; the Republican
party does not desire absOlutism. Both
parties accept the Constitution and
the laws made in Pursuance thereof, as
the supreme law of the land, and
neither aims to destroyit. They mere.
ly differ as to its scope and meaning
and the powers intended 70 be vested
10y it in the Federal authorities"

ton to those with whom it may happier

New YoRK, July s "A local paper

murderer Smiler, which were taken
from Sing Sing by his wife. The re-
porter says he was only able to see his

The face had been burned and scanned

the leg was burned to the body through

spot of human slavery was at last
wiped away, but it was not the Repub-
lican party alone that did it. There
we've laoke Democrats and Union men
from the North than there We're

without their aid the war could not

close. 1t was the patriotic aid of the
Democrats that saved the Union Why
not then be Democrat, when its prrn-

hopes of the W0rld-ciYil and religious
liberty-and the emancipation of the
masses? Will we see the lower class

Can we leave them supplioating us in
vain? No. Every man was born free

No; rather we will raise them up to
our level and be one united and equal

national creed for more than
three-quarters OF century, many
of their principles having been
adopted by their opponents. The
complete unifcation of our country
north and south with a com
mon sentiment of nationality pervad-
ing the people, has been the hope of the
American Democracy for more than
twenty years. Their method is about
to triumph. The constitution is about
to be enforced as our fathers under
stood it, when jackson laid down the
true doctrine in regard to it. Now let
the party which so long held its posi-
ton, and which has cause to think that
the country belongs to them alone, be
asked to retire, and if they refuse to 90
let them be compelled to vacate. This
country is for other and more men

chinists. 1t is well to teach them that
it belongs to the public. Young men,
