Is 1T WORTH TIE MONEY?

The Liberal campaign for carrying the
last city election is said to have cost di-
rectly over SO. 900, in addition to the ex-
penses incurred by private enterprise and
in addition to the SIC, COO handed over to the
patriot who carried the election.
AS everyone knows, that election could
have been carried vt Q cost of less than 81,
by the method that was at last resorted to
after such q prodigal waste Of money and
tslk-by simply striking of the names OF
enough voters In the first place to satisfy
the registrars that their own election was
sure, as the registrar candidates finally did.
How many Liberals think the city gov
eminent has been Of such a character as to
reimburse them for the sums they expen-
ded in electing it, II any, they should speak
out
And after this performance by Liberal
city officials. is it likely to be worth the
while Of Gentle property owners to elect q
Liberal legislature. Will it. as a mere
matter Of business. pay to contribute 10 .
corruption fund that will be used to keep
alive the discords and animosities Of the
psstl Will it have tendency to build up
this territory to vote for men who declare
their intention of DISTINGUISHING three
fourths Of the population Of Utah! Bust
ness men may well fear the consequences
of this attempt to asssssinate, as political
factor, the whole Mormon population.
Consider well, you voters Of Salt Lake
county. whether this last attempt to knife
the liberties Of the majority of the people
Of Utah, is worth what the attempt will

The CANADIAN House had an all night
session, closing at o'clock yesterday morn
ing, in disposing of test amendment to
pending measure for reciprocal exchanges
between the Dominion and the United
States. This amendment looked to a radi-
cal reduction of duties on prime necessities
and to negotiations at Washington on the
basis Of the freest possible trade between
the two countries. The vote showed a ma
iority Of % in total Of 202 against the
proposition. The dispatches do not give
the substance Of the resolutions originally
proposed, but the probability is that the
amendment was rejected because it offered
terms more liberal than this country is CIV

QUITE SIMILAR.

The junior Republican organ is indignant
that TIE HERALD should quote President
HARRIsoN's words as indicative Of the atti-
tude of the Republican party toward Utah,
and the words of the Liberal organ as indie
alive of the attitude of the Liberals.
What, then, shall we quote: Here is
what the Republican national platform
SAYS: 1.-The political power of the Mormon
church in the territories as exercised in the
past is a menace to free institutions too
dangerous 10 be longer suffered. Therefore
we pledge the Republican party to appro-
pirate legislation asserting the sovereignty
of the nation in all territories where the
same is questioned, and in furtherance of
that end to place upon the statute books
legislation stringent enough to divorce the
political from the ecclesiastical power, and
thus to stamp out the attendant wickedness
Of poIygsmy."
Is not this good Republican doctrine!

trine Of the Liberal partyi

A DECISION In POINT.

A struggle among stenographic court re-
porters in Chicago has resulted in deci-
sion by the Cook county appellate court,
which is interesting as giving out princi-
pie that may be applied in wider field.
The nature Of the reporters case may be
inferred from the opinion Of the court, as
follows:
Any agreement which in its object or neces-
sary operation tends to diminish competition as
10 anything the public have for sale or it is
necessary the public should use is void Public
policy requires that the public shall obtain the
things necessary for its use upon fair competl-
ton in a free and open market or under such
rules and regulations as the public laws may
prescribe. . Combinations looking to
the destruction OF competition have always
been unfavorably regarded by the law, for it is
manifest that without competition there can be
no such thing as freedom Of trade
The MCKINLEY bill and other Republi-
can legislation are the most effective
agencies ever employed to restrict the
freedom Of trade, for they not only lock in
the people from the open markets of the
world as buyers, but in the case of the pro-
ducers of the fruits Of the soil they re-
duce the purchasing qualities of the
money at home, and put them to a disad-
vantage as sellers. The great grain pro-
ducing and mining industries of the west
are taxed for the benefit Of the protected
manufacturing employers and the money
lending classes Of the east. The price of
the farmers wheat is fixed by what the
surplus WI bring abroad, whilst the limit
OF what he pays for tools, for clothing, and
other neeessaries is regulated by just how
much more than the value Congress has
put on to keep out foreign competition.
Abroad, the farmers wheat completes with
what is raised in India, Hungary and the
Baltic region BY "pauper" labor.
1t needs no courts, appellate, supreme or
ordinary to declare that restricting compe
tition means higher prices. Nevertheless.
we are glad to ses the principle avowed
from the bench as q fundamental part Of
the law.

VIII you be kind enough to publish the i'm
ports and exports Of wooden goods. steel and
iron for the past three years. and the tariff on
the same and amount of bounty manufacturers
receive on such exports:
PANGUITCH DEMOCRATIC CLUB
The imports of wooden manufactures
into this country in 1887 were 81, 902, us in
value; in 1SSS, 81, az. 1913; in 1889, s52, 564,
942. Our exports of wooden manufactures
were, for the same years, 1886, 342; s471, =
1853 and $343, 949 respectively. We have
imported one hundred times more in value
of manufactures Of wool than We have ex-
ported, because Of the high tariff on foreign
woods. The tariff on wool keeps our mills
from running to more than one-third of
their capacity, and thus deprives Ameri-
cans of the privilege OF supplying the
people of this country with the wooden
cloth they wear. The tariff also depresses
the price Of home grown wool because it
cripples their best msrket-the American
manufacturers. The tariff on most of the
wooden goods runs from s. to so per cent OF
their value.
The imports of iron and steel and the
manufactures Of the same were: for 1887,
$40, 2U3. 1874; for 1855, SIS, 992, 757; for 1889.
s42, 317,793 Our exports for the same
years were SIS, 95S, 502, $l7, 763, o34, $21, 1855
on.
The tariff on iron is about As per cent,
but there are numerous items in the iron
schedule on which the rates differ.
Manufacturers receive q rebate Of 80 per
cent Of the tax they paid on imported raw
materials if they export goods made from
them.

A NEW PLUGGING BOARD.

The organ of the bourbons prints list
of registered voters who have not respon-
ded to certain inquiries addressed TO them
by mail, and says: 1.-THE names are now
published in order that If any one who is a
legal voter is in town he may report at
once at Liberal headquarters. Unless re-
port is made Is above any man who at
tempts to vote on any Of the following
names on election day will be required to
prove that he is entitled to vote"
What is the inference from this! That
il he does report at Liberal headquarters
he will be permitted to vote without ques-
tion. And il he doesn't how easy to vote
him anyhow, if at the close of the polls it is
found that the real voter has not offered
his ballot.
In view OF all this how hypocritical, how
snesking, the organs statement that "a
great Liberal victory is hoped for on Mon
day next, but i. must be victory on the
dead square"
These people protest too much. Let them
be watched, these members Of the head

On THE RUN.

The law governing elections provides
that challenges for illegal registration shall!
be issued no less than three days before
the hearing, the day Of service not in
cluded, and that the hearing shall not be
had later than five days before election.
This would preclude challenges from being
issued now, the last day expiring on Sstur-
day and the last day of hearings yesterday.
Still. the Liberals in violation of the law, are
issuing challenges by the wholesale every
day, for no apparent reason or purpose ex'
cept to intimidate Democrats. They cannot
do that. All they can do is to display their
desperation and recklessness.
Mark this: The Liberals are on the run.

FOURTEENTH REPRESENTATIVE DIsTRIC

The letter Of Mr.. LEO HAEFELI in yester-
days issue Of The HERALD brings the first
information that we have received that
certain Democrats of Wasatch county
have nominated Hon. ADRIAN HATCH for
representative Of the legislative assembly
from the Fourteenth district. We had
heard that the Citizens" party, what
ever that may be, had nominated MIR.
HATCH. and we had also heard that the
gentleman had been ASKED if he would &C
cept the Democratic nomination, his reply
being to the effect that if elected he would
serve, but not as Democrat.
The Fourteenth representative district
comprises Emery, Wasatch and Grand
counties. When the Democratic campaign
and advisory committee was getting out
the calls for conventions 1t discovered that
Emery county had more population than
Wasatch and that according to the appor-
tionment which had been adopted would be
entitled to twenty-four delegates. while
Wasatch would have twenty three and
Grand three. 1t was also thought that il
would be more convenient for the delegates
to meet at some point on the line of a rail-
road, and Price, in Emery county. was Sc
lected as the most central place. Tie
convention was regularly called
with the others, bat Wasatch failed
to send delegates. There was but
one thing to do by the delegates
present and that was to perform the duty
did, nominating Mr.. L. NJ. OLSON, of
Emery, for the legislature. Thus Mr..
OLSON became the regular Democratic
nominee Of the party for the district, and
his name has since appeared in the list of
Democratic nominees. Mr.. HATcH's nom
nation was irregular from any point of
view, and ought not to have been made, but
having been made should be repudiated at
the polls by the Democrats of Wasatch
county as well as by those Of Emery and
Grand. We submit that If a man refuses
to serve as Democrat he certainly ought
not to be voted for by Democrats. We also
suggest that if Wasatch Democrats sup
port Mr.. HATCH they will place themselves
in an awkward position, their attitude be-
ing that of boilers from the party, and
of supporters of a candidate not of their
faith.
THE HERALD regrets what has been
done, and apprehends that unless the
Democrats OF Wasatch shall repudiate Mr.
HATCH and stand by the regular nominee
the district will be handed over to the Re
publicans, or, worse still. to the Republi-
can allies, the Liberals. We do not under
estimate the personal popularity of Mr..
HATCH in his own county, but Democrats
should be true to their party; and
especially in q case of this kind, where
truancy is almost certain Of electing an
enemy.
MIR. L. NJ. OLSON is the regular Demo
cratic nominee TO the legislature from the
Fourteenth district, and every faithful
Democrat no matter in what part Of the
district he may reside. will vote for him.

TIE Trib. wants to know il the vast
sum of &, 100, which it says has been sab
scribed by Democrats for campaign pur
poses, is to be used to buy the election in
this city. Evidently, there isn't much OF
the Liberal party left to buy, if the amaz-
ing sum of s., 100 will purchase and distrib-
ute campaign literature over the territory,
pay for bands, meeting and election ex-
penses, and enough stin remain with which
to buy the election. "What is it to be
used for. Is it to corrupt the floating
vote. Is it to employ substitutes to vote
the names Of men who have died since
they registereda" These and other ludic-
rous questions are propounded by the
organ of party that gave $4,000 to one
man alone for his services" in the last
city election

THE JUNIOR organ makes a weak attempt
at replying to the facts we published show
ing that wages in England are from 40 to
100 per cent. higher than in protected Ger
many. 1t says we fought TO compare En-
glish with American wages. The condi-
tons in Germany are so different from
those in the United States that nothing can
be learned as 70 the value of protection as
applied to this country from such com
parison." II this means anything it means
that the conditions in England and America
are sufficiently similar for comparisons,
while between Germany and England the
conditions are so dissimilar that no COM
PARSONS can properly be made. Further
comment Is unnecessary.

"THE REPUBLICAN party pledges itself to
do all in its power to facilitate the admis-
sion of the territories of New Mexico,
Wyoming, Idaho and Arizona" said the
Republican national platform OF 1855. In
accordance with this pledge, Idaho was ad-
mitted after DISTINGUISHING the Mormons,
so as to make it Republican state; and
Wyoming was admitted without disfran-
chisiug the Mormons, since in the latter
they mostly voted the Republican ticket,
and their disfranchisement might have
given the state to the Democrats. AS for
New Mexico and Arizona, neither of them
was admitted because they both appeared
TO be soIIdly Democratic in national poll
tics

AN AMERICAN writer, as well he may,
deplores the increase of crime "A the United
States. From 1910 to 1850 there was one
criminal in the United States for each
8, 442 inhabitants; from 1850 to 1850, there
was one in each 1,617; from 1850 to $50,
there was one in each 1,O2O; from 1870 to
1880, there was one in each So; and from
1850 to 1890, there was one criminal for less
than each 600 people. This is fearful
gain in criminality, but it is in the ratio of
the increase of the city population and the
growth of saloons. Three -fourths of the
passion for crims is inspired by whisky
and its ilk, and chiefly among the emigrants
from foreign lands.
