THE MAJORITY REPORT.

Whether or not the Home Rule bill ever
becomes law, much good has come from its
introduction and the subsequent hearings
given to the matter by the congressional
committees on territories. For the first
time the true condition of things in Utah
has been placed squarely before Congress
and In such way as to command attention
The Democratic delegation which went to
Washington made such a showing of facts
as was never before presented. The
gentlemen clearly and cleverly portrayed
the situation, and that the truthful
picture which they drew had its
effect and made the impression
intended is demonstrated by the report of
the majority of the House committee on
territories, as fully outlined in a special
dispatch printed in yesterdays HERALD
The report grasps the situation, and what
Is of greater importance to US, the majority
are openly in favor of curing the evils
which exist. They recommend the pass
age Of the bill, and give reasons for it
reasons which, 1t seems to Us, must be
convincing to every fair-minded member
of Congress, and to every man in the
country who is at all acquainted with
the system of government under which
the people of Utah are suffering,
The report is commended to the careful
perusal of all the citizens of Utah, without
regard to politics. 1t is not a partisan pa
per, but is q plain and earnest plea for
justice for American citizens.
1t is MISUNDERSTANDING been announced
that the Republican minority Of the COM
mittee, headed by Representative PERKINS,
of Iowa, will present an adverse report
The document will be awaited with more
or less Impotence. We will all be eager
to learn upon what ground opposition to
the bill can be based. 1t seems to US that
the only objection which can be raised
must be founded in direct
declaration of un-Americanism, the asser-
ton of the proposition that law-loving,
law abiding American citizens cannot with
safety be intrusted with the right of self
government
But we will have to wait for the minor
ity's excuse for declining to concede justice
to the people Of Utah, meantime congratu-
lating the community on the fact that the
majority of the House committee have
taken the correct view aad on the other
fact that the report will make certain the
early passage of the bill by the House.

IL Is forgotten that last summer Mr. Do
Ian. president of the Manufacturers club,
o. massachusetts,, the personal and politi-
cal friend of MIR. WAXAMAKER. and the
man, In fact, who framed the wool clause
In the MCKINLEY bill, wrote letter. pub
ilshed IN the New York World, saying: ut
IS an interesting fact, deserving much en-
phasis of statement, that the prices of
wool are lower now than they were one
year ago. This decline was distinctly
promised by protectionists during the dis
cussion which accompanied the framing of
the MCKINLEY tariff"
According to this eminent and uudis-
pdted Republican authority, the wool
schedule of the present McK1N1.EY protec-
tive tariff act was prepared for the express
purpose OF reducing the price of wool.
Whether or not such was the design, or
whether it is legitimate effect, the fact
remains that the price of wool has steadily
declined since the law went into effect.
Sheep owners and wool growers know too
well the truth of this. They know that
the demand for native clips depends largely
upon the cheapness of the imports from
Australia and other countries whence come
the qualities used in conjunction with
American wool in the production of the
best cloths and carpets. A high tariff does
not and cannot force the consumption of
the poorer classifications, but free wool
means revival of manufactures and con-
sequent enlargement of the demand.

SUBSIDIES.

We observe that yesterdays dispatches
bring word that on Wednesday last Mr..
ENLoE, chairman of the committee On
merchant marine, submitted to the house
the report Of his committee recommending
the repeal of the mail steamship subsidy
act. 1t dissents from the policy of sub
sides on the ground that it is robbery, and
says if the policy of subsidy is right it
should apply 10 ell, and that the cotton
planter has as much right to subsidy as the
ship owner. This represents the views of
Democrats on that subject and hence we
call the attention of our readers to it. A
minority report is presented, arguing in
favor OF the retention of the law, that it is
necessary to give an impetus to ship build
ing The minority maintain that had our
government pursued in the past the subsidy
policy, we would have supremacy

WE FEAR that some of the mine owners
are attempting a bluff game, trying to scare
Congress into passing the free silver bill,
and if this is the case the effort will fail.
Dispatches are being sent all over the
country saying that orders have been
issued TO stop work in this mine and that
one, and saying that so many hundreds or
thousands of men viii be thrown out of
employment. We spprehend that most Of
this is bulldozing talk, and means nothing.
Very few, if any, mines will be closed, un-
less silver shall fail much lower in price
than it is today, and that is not likely to
occur. Congress having made silver 3
commodity by the passage of the present
bullion purchase law, spectators will be
able to manipulate the price of the nine
product to certain extent, and for a short
time, but after all the rule of supply and
demand will control 1t is ludicrous to
suggest that silver can be kept at its pres
ent price for any length of time. THE
HERALD will be mistaken if there shall not
come rise within week.
