NOW FOR HOME RULE.

Boss Powers has had his say before the
Senate and House committees on territor-
les in opposition to Home Rule for Utah.
Me Too ALLEN, the gentleman who holds
an Office through the refusal of Judges to
receive the votes of citizens, some of whom
have resided in Utah about as many years
as the county clerk has been on earth, has
also had his say. They took up the time of
| the committees hour after hour, rehashing
the stories which have been told over and
over again for forty years, and of the foun-
dation of which this generation knows alb
solutely nothing. Their addresses have been
carefully read, and in them is not found
single fact, solitary statement
which can be taken as legitimate argu-
ment against Home Rule for the people OF
this territory. The friends of the gentle
men themselves admit this, and express
disappointment that the hired attorneys of
the Liberal party have not made better
showing for the money paid them for this
service. We are not sstonished at the
effort. The ''cause" which they championed
would not permit of better argument"
They have done the best they could under
the circumstances. and have earned their
fee. 1t was not their fault that they could
not coltrovert facts and overcome the
truth which is apparent to all. If they
have failed to demonstrate that q
quarter Of million of the brightest
and best and most progressive people
on the American continent are unworthy
and incapable of self government il was
the fault of those who hired them to uu-
dertake an impossibility. II they were
unable to make Representatives and Sena
tors believe the Utah community is lawless
and revolutionary, plotting against the
republic and conspiring against indiyid-
uals. it was because the Congressman are
men at least of common sense, and hence
cannot be convinced against what their in
telligence and observation tell them i:
! true.
| The Liberal side having been heard
having done all in its power to defeat ths
people in their struggle for some
of their rights as citizens of tn,
republic-having attempted to side-tracl
the popular movement and ignominiously
failed, the chances for the early passage O.
the Home Rule Dill have been immensel,
increased and the certainty of the bill be
coming law established. The people ma,
with confidence prepare for work unde
the better conditions, and it will not b.
long thereafter when the doubt and dis
trust as to the people which the Liberia
politicians have raised in the minds of Con
gressmen, will have been 6ispelled, AM
Utah will enter the TJninn q fuII-fedoe
state, the pride of all her people and tn
boast of the nation. The Liberal agent
have helped Utah on to home rule.

a LITTLE SELF PRAISE.

We wonder if Boss POWERS didn't dis
tort the exact truth just a little bit when
he told the Congressional committees on
territories that hobos who had been re-
fused the privilege of voting were
permitted to deposit their ballots
when they appeared at the polls wearing
Democratic badges. We wonder If the
Liberal boss didn't say that to impress 1t
upon the committee that he was a manipu-
lator full Of resources and clever and cum

never permits an opportunity to pass with
out letting it be known that he is q very
great man when it comes to managing
election matters. He never permits him
self to forget that there may be other ten
thousand dollar checks lying about for
clever and cunning fellows who can win
elections in one way or another.
We do not allege that the boss imposed
an invention upon the committee for the
sake of paying a tribute to his own genius.
but some Of the challengers up in the
Fourth would not hesitate to make affidavit
that not one of Mr.. POWERS hobos got q
vote into the box through wearing Demo

THE TARIFF A TAX ON INCOMES.

Into the Farmers Alliance platform in
many states there is q resolution in favor
of taxing incomes as being the only way of
reaching the millionaire classes. These
dwell chiefly in the northeast section and
are very expert In lodging other taxes.
Now the tariff is levied on many of the
necessaries of life which are manufactured
IN the northeast, and the protection feature
OF 1t is for their advantage But the mil
llonalre classes have successfully resisted
the income tax proposition. They argue
that 1t would be unjust and oppressive to
those who have been prosperous in bust
ness, and that, on general terms, tax on
incomes is always inequitable and unwise.
The high protective tariff which the mon
eyed and combine manufacturing interests
OF the northeast have imposed on the coun-
try is, itself, a tax On incomes-and what is
worse, 1t is heavy tax on small incomes.
1t exacts a tribute of 20 to so per cent on
nearly every purchase OF necessaries and
comforts man makes. If he is poor man
and buys only 500 worth of necessaries
and comforts IL year the tax is 80 per
cent, or $50. If he is farmer and pays
out $500 a year for lumber, fencing wire,
binding twine, implements, tools, harness,
boots and shoes, clothing and household
goods, table ware, kitchen utensils, etc.,
the tax will be $780, The tariff makes
these purchases higher by the several sums
stated, and it is therefore tax on the in
comes out of which it is paid.
This tax possesses the additional OPP
pressive feature of being imposed on the
gross income. During the war, quarter
OF century ago, when the government was
in great need of money, it levied tax on
$1,000 or over of net income This ex-
empted the mass of the people. and reached
only the well-to-do classes. But this high
protective tariff not only wresks its force
upon the small incomes of the masses, butt
makes no allowance for the interest they
would have to pay on debts, and other
necessary expenses. 1t is an exaction on
all of q mans earnings. He may not make
his living; he may not at the end of the
/ year come out even. Sickness, misfortune,
unforeseen expenses, failure of work, low
wages or low prices may consume every
dollar OF his earnings and leave him in
debt. But the pitiless tariff takes no &C
count of these things. 1t bleeds him from
day to day and from hour to hour. 1t takes
toll from what goes on his head, on his back,
on his feet and into his mouth, and, do what
he will, be cannot help himself-so that
at the end of the year he is poorer by the
$50, $50, or $3.50 which the tariff has taken
from him.
Who gets this tax on the gross income of
every person in the land! The federal
government! No. The statel No. The
protected manufacturers of the northeast
get it. They are the favorites of the gov
eminent. and the government has given
them the special high prerogative of col
lecting tribute from their countrymen.
This is the secret Of their enormous wealth,
their immeasurabIe arrogance and their
great authority at Washington.

TIE APPROPRIATIONS.

1t Is said that the appeals to the Legisla-
ture for money aggregate about three
times the amount OF the revenue for the
next two years, aud all the returns are not
yet in. Never before have such demands
been made. Modesty characterizes very
few of the claims; greed is conspicuous in
most of them. The managers of some of
the public institutions would seem to
think that nobody else had rights in the
territorial treasury. They act as if the
territory had money to throw at the birds.
and as if the taxpayers would be delighted
TO pay for running things" on a magnif-
cent scale.
In this connection, now that the session
has advanced beyond the middle point, and
the appropriation bill must soon be pre-
pared, THE HERALD wan is to again impress
upon the lawmakers the necessity Of prac-
ticing the most rigid economy. We don't
mean by this stinginess, but that not q dol
lar should be voted the expenditure of
which is not demanded. A good many ap-
peals for cash have been presented which
can be denied without working injury.
Several of the claims can be materially cut
down without bringing chaos Some i'm
provements which the assembly is asked to
provide for can be delayed two years
without imposing very great hardships
upon anybody. 1t is not necessary here to
designate, as the places where economy
can be practiced will readily occur to the
members.
The legislators can estimate very clearly
the revenues of the two years, and this
done they should see to it that the appro-
pristions do not exceed the amount, no
matter if some energetic gentlemen should
be disappointed. There exists in the com
munity wholesome dread of debt, and the
representatives of the people will be wise
to take that dread into account when max
ing up the appropriation bill. There is also
feeling that taxes should be lowered
rather than increased, so burdensome have
they become, especially in certain OF the
counties. The times cry out for economy,
and the gentlemen who are to direct the
expenditure of the public money for the
coming two years will be held to strict &C
countability by the voters.

OUR MORNING contemporary, which has
contracted the deleterious habit of fishing
for libel suits, suggests that the law be
changed SO as TO dispense with what the
lawyers call exemplary" damages in such
cases. and require the plaintiff to prove up
the actual pecuniary damage done. Thus,
the man who got kicked by mule con-
sidered the source and did nothing, and
the man suing the Tribune, being obliged to
prove that he had suffered any injury in
this community by it, would be on a par.
The law of libel implying malice does not
permit the defendant to escape on the
ground that he is too insignificant and
feeble to hurt anybody. 1t is not the
alacrity of the flea to get ont Of the way
which gives to the insect the consideration
it receives from terrorized humanity, but
its venom.

IT Is DIFFERENT,

Boss POWERS and his Liberal following
have apparently lost sight of very impor-
tant fact in their opposition to Home Rule
the fact that they are not, on this occa-
sion, fighting Mormons. The prejudice
against the Saints has been SO strong that
in the past the POWERS party has practi
cally had things its own way in Congress.
All the Liberals had to do was to say that
the Mormons wanted such-an6 such a
thing, when Congress would do what the
Liberals asked 1t to do in the premises.
any sort OF Liberal who could tell cock
and bull stories and berate the Mormons
could defeat at Washington large delega-
ton Of intelligent and truthful Saints. whose
cause might be the most meritorious
imaginable. The situation is somewhat
different now, although Powers does not
realize the fact, and has been conducting
his campaign along the old lines. The
Home Rule bill was not devised by Nor
mons; the proposition did not come from
Mormons, and the Mormons have had very
little to say about it, either one way or the
other. The bill was proposed, discussed
and formulated by nom Mormons. some of
whom have been and are still decidedly
anti Mormon. 1t has been championed
and advocated almost exclusively by non
Mormons, most of those who have spoken
in its favor before the Congress
sional committees being gentlemen o
have been active in the anti MOI !.
work in this territory. Nor do these gen
tlemen figure as Mormon agents and attor-
neys in the case; they appear in behalf of
themselves and their fellow-citizens with
out regard to religion or party politics,
laboring for the best good of the territory
socially, politically and financially and
pleading for justice for themselves and all
the people of Utah. The fight which the
Liberals are making now is more against
Gentiles than against /Mormons, a fact
which has been lost sight of by PowrRs
and his associates, though not by Congress
men.

a COMING DEFICIT.

In response to an inquiry, Secretary
FOSTER has transmitted to the House q
letter acknowledging that since the AZ per
cent bonds became due and redeemable,
there has been money enough in the treas
ury to pay this outstanding indebtedness,
but says it twas deemed prudent and
profitable to the government TO continue a
portion of them"
There is, of course, no answer to this
exercise of a discretion permitted by the
act authorizing the issue of 2 per cent
treasury department in Republican admin
lstratlons to make use of any loop-hole to
avoid saving the peoples cash. Neverthe-
less, it shows a curious kind of financial
economy to continue AZ per cent bonds
with the opportunity offered to take them
in at maturity Oy the substitution OF
bonds bearing only 2 per cent interest.
Notwithstanding all that the admins
traton and its friends and organs have
been saying by way of boast Of the Re-
publican party brilliant financial and
revenue measures, there is growing i'm
preston that the treasury will have to
face deficit before President HARRIsoN's
term Of office ends and that the leading Re
pubiicans know it. The 300, Co., 900 loan
at per cent, engineered at the last ses-
sion by Senator SHERMAN, pretending to
be 8 measure for the relief of the money
market was at the time believed to be in
reality make-shift to provide the treas
ury with money when the expected ex-
haustion of revenue should come
1t would be ludicrous example of party
break down, ii the HARRISON administra-
ton should, before it reaches the end of its
four years. term, have made away with
the 500, 600, 900 surplus which the CLEvE-
LAND administration left it, and run the
government $50, 600, 900 in debt besides.
