They Speak for Protection Through
Their Representatives.
The following is a letter addressed on
April 26, 1888, to the Hon. William
Mckinley by the officers of eight of
the leading trades organizations protest
ing against the passage of the Demo-
cratic Mills bill:
WAsHINGToN, April %. 1883.
Hon. William Mckinley:
DEAR S1R-Havng seen by the papers that
Mr.. Mills and others. in their speeches in the
house of representatives upon the tariff bill
have asserted the wages paid to la Dor were no
higher in the United States than in Europe
we, the undersigned. desire to state, through
you. to the members Of congress that such
statements misleading and false. Wages
are higher in this country than III any other in
the world. Notwithstanding the fact that the
statements have been made by mem bers on the
foor of the house of representatives that the
tariff only benefits the manufacturers and
that they receive all the advantages from the
protection given by the government. we know
that we receive cur share of the benefits of
protection in the industries we represent.
We therefore emphatically protest against
any reduction of the duties that will bring us
on .eIei villa the low price paid for labor in
Europe. We insist upon the maintenance of "A
strong protective tariff in order TO maintain an
American standard of wages for American
workinemeE. Respectfully yours.

FACTS FOR FARMERS,
WORK OF THE HARRISON AOMlNiS-
TRATICN IN THEIR BEHALF.

Enlarged Markets Abroad and at Home.
Better Prices. Increased Demand and
Better Conditions, Increased Exports, In.
creased Home Markets.
Here are few Of the advantages
that have come to the farmer under the
Mckinley law and under President
Harrison's administration:
Under the combined efforts of Presi-
dent Harrison and his secretaries of
state and agriculture, coupled with the
work of his ministers abroad, the prohi-
bition against American meats and live
stock has been removed in foreign
markets, and through reciprocity other
farm products given advantages in the
markets of the world. A comparison
of the last year of the Cleveland admin.
istration with the present year Just
ended shows the following increase un.
der the Harrison admir istration:
Increased exports OF bacon, hams and
lard, $l9,OOO,OOO.
Increased exports of beef products.
$12,000,000.
Increased exports of cattle, SIG ZOO, 900.
Increased exports of wheat, -four and
corn, 15,O00,000
Increased exports of cotton, sec, OOO,.
600.
Increased exports of seeds, 81. 500, OOO
Increased exports OF fruits and nuts,
81 100000.
Increased exports of oilcake and meal,
$4,000, 900.
Increased exports of all agricultural
products, $275, 100000.
Besides this the Mckinley tariff has
given the farmer:
First-A home market for his barley
worth over S., 600, 900 yearly.
! Second-A home market for his to.
bacco, worth S., 0O0, 900 yearly.
Third-A home market for his pota-
toes, amounting to 81 600, 900 yearly.
Fourth-A home market for his eggs.
amounting to 81, zoe, 900 yearly.
Fifth-A home market for his raisins,
prunes, nuts and other fruits, worth
$5,250,0 900 year.
Sixth-Saved the American wool
grower from utter ruin by protecting
him from disastrous competition with
foreign eight cent wool, keeping the
price of American wool at an average of
30.5 cents per pound by comparison with
an average of 1877 cents per pound of
similar grades at corresponding dates in
London.

The Secretary ~. Agriculture Tells Why
He Iavors Protection.
The following is an extract from a
Gently written by the secretary Of agri-
culture. Eon. J. NJ Rusk:
Ola all articles except those we cannot
r:udnce or manufacture ourselves under
any circumstances | would levy duty
suiIic!ent TO make foreign goods cost,
when landed and duty paid in any port
Of the United States, fully as much as
the cost of manufacturing the same goods
III this country amounts to; and this

old accepted argument of Infant in

would stick to this principle all the
way through. except only in the case OF
foreign goods coming from countries
which could make such concessions on
American goods as would fully Offset
any concessions we might make to them,
for am believer in reciprocity. In
fact. so long ago as April, 1890, in a
communication which prepared to send
to all persons-and they were legion
who addressed me on the subject Of ag-
ricultural depression, referred to the
advantages of reciprocity.
At the same time think it will very
seldom be found necessary to surrender
adequate protective duties on any for
eiyn goods such as we can manufacture
i'll this country. Our reciprocal rela-
tons with countries in the temperate
zone, growing largely the same kind of
agricultural products and living under
comparatively the same conditions, will
always be very limited. But just as we
have exemplitied in the case Of sugar, Of
which at present we do not produce a
quantity sufficient for our domestic sup
ply. so in regard to tea, coffee and spices,
which come to us from tropical or semi
tropical countries, there is consider
able opportunity for the exercise OF this
sound economic principle. would have

as a consistent protectionist, regard as a
subject for free trade any article into
the production Of which, in form avail
able for use, American labor enters. If
the conditions are such, for instance, in
Canada, that Canadian farmer can
raise certain crops more cheaply than
we can, would protect our American
farmers by putting such duty on these
products that Canadian farmers could
not undersell them. In the same man.

But they are not to be blamed, for the
free trade laws by which they are gov.

The election of Grover Cleveland

Every man who regards the happiness

their utmost TO make the university wha.
we all desire it should be, the lnest educa-
tional institution in the interior west. For
the coming year the faculty has
been increased somewhat, while most of
the old professors and instructors have
been retained. AS is well known, the long
time president, DR.. JOIN r. PARK, retired
with the close of last year, aud while his
going out was the occasion of regret, the
regents made the retirement felt as lit g

president, the professor having for many
years been connected with the university,
and closely associated with DIR. PARK.

is larger than ever before, proving the

The climax of reaching and interesting
the masses in a new brand OF goods has
been reached by the St. Charles Evapo-

came into this market about week ago
and have since been holding public recep'
tions in some of the leading grocery stores,
where they have furnished free of charge
delicious ice cream made from this new
brand of unsweeten d cream. A reporter

THE FAI4 ON SUNDAY.

OF course the gates of the Worlds fair
will not be closed on Sundays. Congress
has put proviso to its gift of two and
be shut on the first day of the week, but
that proviso will not count. The money
will be spent long enough before the open
ing of the exposition. aud the managers
will tell the government that it can neither
recover the money nor lock the gates. The
good, pious people will grumbie and pro-
test and that will be proper enough, for
they should satisfy their copsciences and
establish the fact that however wicked
Chicago may be, aud whatever the degree
of disregard foreigners and our own work
ing people may entertain for the Sabbath.
there are some Americans at least who be-
lieve in the Fourth Commandment.
Looking at the matter from business
standpoint, and that is the only position
from which Chicago man could be ex-
pected to consider it, closing the gates on
Sunday would be very serious matter, in
volving loss OF Sc, 000, 600. The fair is to
continue six months, and according TO a
man who is familiar with the great exposi-
tons of the world, shutting up shop for the
twenty-six Sundays would cost the above
sum. He says the average Sunday attend
ance at the Paris exposition was 137, 29S,
the maximum being 100000 1t is also said
that since the gates of jackson park have
been opened there mas not been a Sunday
when the attendance did not compare fav-
orably with the crowd at tho Philadelphia
exhibition on its light days. 1t is also q
fact that all the railroads have made ar
rangements to run Sunday excursions, of
which the Chicago Times says:
These excursions would. with the immense
turnout OF Chicago wage earners, swell the
Sunday attendance to 100000 people This for
twenty Sundays only would make 100000 In
gate receipts alonea Reducing the other six
Sundays to half tha estimate for probable bad
weather, it would make S6G0.C00 which, for the
twenty-six Sundays would make. total of
nearly s.. 0Oo0O0 On concession an offlcial of
the ways and means estimates that the total
receipts would exceed SiO,060,00O For the
twenty-six largest days or Sundays it would
reach nearly 100000, making grand total for
the exchequer of the exposition, approximately
100000.
THE HERALD thinks it can promise any
Salt Lakers who may be in Chicago KIT
summer that they will find the gates 10
jackson park open on Sunday as on other
dsys OF the week
