licans Home Market club OF Boston, the
cheapest wool, grade for grade, in the
world
On or about the Goth of last April the
tailors sent in petition to Congress ask
Ing to have the number Of suits of clothes
admitted duty free limited to two because
they said, ''there exists a relative differ
ence OF at least so per cent. in values be-
tween the cost Of made up garments in the
United States and Europe, thus saving to
the purchaser more than half their actual
value upon arrival within the United
States duty free" And vet papers of the
STANDARD stamp parade the low prices Of
American shoddy and sweat-shop clothing
as evidence that clothing is as cheap here
as 1t is in England. This Is what the wool
tarln does for US; it makes our wool as
cheap or cheaper than any other like grade
IN the world, causes our ''woolen" cloth to
be made OF one-third wool, two thirds
shoddy, cotton and the CASTOR rags of
other people, and exactly doubles the price
OF this indescribable stuff as compared
with the prices current in all other parts
OF the civilized globe.
HOME RULE AND STATEHOOD.
Here is what MIR. Thatcher said OF Home
Rule and Statehood:
The hardy Scott upon his highland hills calls
for Home Rule The descendant of the OBJ
pressed and wronged Irishman who carried
SeaWeed from the wave washed shore of his
emerald isle, high on the mountain top and
Inere on the barren rocks made his garden bed
ana tnen paid rent to the lord of the manor
cries for Home Rule. The Canadian, our north
ern nelghbor, turns his eyes TO the land whence
| came Ine warning chinooks and asks for Home
RULE and distrusted downtrodden, officeridden
Utan claims as her birthright Home Rule
WI she get II? Yes, and statehood too if her
people stand firm to their honest convictions
| Inc m raj rhaD Haor
10 heart shoulder TO shoulder, each right hand
10 our friends and wrong hand 10 no man and
democratic Home Rule will win yet
Here is the Standards construction of the
above words:
The gentleman classes Utah with Ireland and
canada and says that she claims as her birth
right, home ruler Utah's birthright is not
home rule-her birthright is statehood!
Blrthright means the sum total which can be
IaWiully demanded Of natural rights. Home
rule means the form of statehood, yet denying
the power thereof Does Mr.. Thatcher desire
10 pc understood as meaning that the Faulkner
came Dill is the full measure of our political
inheritance? This would indeed be selling our
blrthright for mess of pottage
1t seems that the Ogden paper cannot
toucn single proposition without distort-
Ing or classifying its meaning.
Mr.. Thatcher says that Jefferson was the
author CT the Declaration of Independence.
Yes, and he was the author OF notification.
Jefferson was not the author of nullifca-
ton. 1t was never heard of before 1924,
and was promptly crushed by Andrew
jackson, the Democrat, in 1888. The
Standards mendacity is refreshing.
THE SUGAR BOUNTY.
Must men with willing hands stand forever
| idle because the rich will not risk their wealth
IN unalded enterprises, and because some men
think more OF Democratic theory than they
40 OF U tab flesh and blood? If it be true that
| financial distress is upon the people of Utah,
| honest labor can Danish it in a year; and the
| opening for thousands of honest laborers can be
made by the bounty system
We have idle labor, but no idle capital.
| Capital is always at work. Bounties can
change Its direction-can turn it from in
dustrles that pay into others that do not
| pay, but that Is all. The man who teaches
that bounty legislation sets idle capital to
employing men never heard of the science
of economics. Ask him to name the man
IN free country who has idle capital, and
the ass will tell you the capital is lying idle
| IN 'banks-as if banks paid interest on
money merely for the fun of locking it up
in vaults.
In come parts of the Great American
desert no industry will pay. What can be
done. Nothing. There are no industries
there In other parts OF the desert only
one industry will pay. How could you
make others thrive there2 BY taxing the
only one that did pay, Of course. In the
valleys or Utah a great many industries
pay, while few, it is said, will not paw
How can these be set a-going9 BY taxing
those that pay. And the man who will be-
lleve that getting our capitalists to put
their money into industries that will not
pay (Which means, simply, taking it from
those that do pay increases the wealth,
the employment, or that it increases any
thing except losses must be argued with
gently, for he is a child on the subject.
But as the sugar factory is going right
on without the bounty, what is the STANDARD
driving at in this case2
NOT MANLY
Mr.. Thatcher says that he who kisses the
hand that smites him is q mental. Not always
II the hand be one of pure justice he who
Kisses IL shall inherit the earth-for so it was
spoken.
This means of course, that Utah
deserved, and richly deserved the punish
ments she has received in the past at the
hands OF the Republican party. deny it.
LOGAN, sMITHFIELD AND MOUNT PLEASANT
Mr.. Thatcher surely has heard of Logan,
Smthte!d and Mount Pleasant. Do they carry
no lesson to his mind? Those victories cannot
secret messages and plots as dark as the
skin of the founder of the party of great moral
IDEAS
Yes, most of US have heard of these "vic-
tories" and they are recalled with blush
of shame by every honest Republican who
protted by them. And if the Standard
editor had seen one of the ''secret mes
sages" that 1 have seen he would not thus
have written himself down. Logan.
Smithfeld and Mount Pleasant will be
remembered when the Republican party of
Utah will wish they could be forgotten,
HALT
Enough is a feast. The venomous char
acter OF the Standards attack called forth
this article from me. Mr.. Thatcher has not
seen this article nor even line of it. Nor
have any OF his friends seen it, for 10 part
Of it has been submitted to any human be-
ing. l make this statement because of the
astonishing bitterness displayed toward
Mr.. Thatcher not only by the standard but
by its admirers, the Messrs. Smith, who
actually seem to commend the miserable
and mendacious TRADE. Such people might
otherwise believe this article came from
Mr.. Thatcher. PERICLEs
