TARIFF AND THE MARKETS.

A few days ago The HERALD made an
incisive quotation from a recent letter
written by Hon. R. P. BLAND for consump-
ton in Missouri. Perhaps some people,
from seeing the name of this gentleman so
conspicuously mentioned in connection
with bi-metallic free coinage, may have
supposed him to be giving his time chiefly
to the calculation of his views on that sub
ject. But MIR. BLAND is, besides, one of
public men on the tariff question. He pos
sesses the knack, too, Of expressing him
self with singular clearness and force
Here is another extract from the document
referred to above:
The MCKINLEY bill has forced the tariff ques-
ton from the mere domain of revenue. The
tariff barons made the fight on the lines of
markets. AS was often stated by Mr.. MCkIN-
LEY, we must have laws to check and prohibit
imports, no matter whether we needed the
revenue or not We must give to the home
manufacturer the monopoly of this, the home
market. But the laws that give the tariff baron
monopoly of the home market also shut in the
farmer and Confine him to the home market.
Unlike the tariff barons the farmer cannot
regulate productions to the necessities of the
home market. He must produce and does pro
duce an immense surplus the home market will
not take. Hence, the farmer must put on his
warpaint and go to battle, and his battle cry
must be 1.-The markets of the world in which tc
exchange his surplus products that he does moi
need for the surplus of other countries that he
needs and they do not. He must break dowr
! all toll gates on the way, at least all such a:
impose unreasonable and unjust burdens upor
his light to market the products of his toll.

sLANDERING A COMMUNITY.

1t has been told to US that advocates of
the TELLER statehood bill, in their eager
ness to enlist support for it in Congress,
said to certain Senators that if the bill
were passed and this territory admitted to
the Union, Utah would be Republican
state. We do not believe the gentlemen
making this promise will deny it. What
could they have been thinking of them
selves when they talked thus! What
could they have thought of the people for
whom they pretended to speak. And what
did they think of the Senators approached
We do not think there is an intelligent
man in this territory who believes
for moment this could be made
Republican state Some of the
very men who made the promise
to the Republican Senators have been
laboring diligently for nearly year. to
enlist the people in the Republican ranks,
but without success. They have talked
publicly and privately, have employed
questionable methods and have sought to
bring influences of an illegitimate charac-
ter to bear, but all to little purpose, the
principles of the g. o. p, having nothing in
them attractive to the people of Utah.
And what a reflection it is upon the
character, the intelligence ana the man.

IT HASN'T FAILED.

The Denver NelUS says editorially: "The
recent effort of Utah before Congress to
secure the privileges of electing territorial
officers, instead of having them appointed
by the President, has failed. Since SO
many new states have been admitted the
patronage of the President has been seri-
ously diminished The territories have
been used as political almshouses to which
each successive administration has sent its
broken-down political wrecks We appre-
bend that our esteemed contemporary is
talking through its hat. Since when has
the effort to secure the privilege of electing
our own officers failed? What information
on the subject Is the NelCs in possession Of
which has not reached Utah and
is unknown in Washington At the
national capital it is generally IN
derstood that the Home Rule
bill will pass without significant opposition.
it is dou btful there will be division when
the bill comes UP. 1t is also pretty well
understood that the bill will be reported
from the committee on territories at an
early day. 1t is not denied by anyone
familiar with the matter that the bill has a
fair majority in its favor in the Senate,
where every Democrat, except one. will
vote for it and several Republicans are
outspoken in its behalf.
In short, the failure of the measure is
scarcely to be considered among the prob.
abilities since the convincing showing
made by the Democratic delegation before
the Congressional committees.

ON THE WAY TO PARADISE.

Let US hope that the people who habit
ually disregard their health will reach that
desirable place and avoid the locality which
is less desirable as an eternal residence on
account of the heat and surroundings gen.
orally. But while we tarry in this vale of
tears, why should we voluntarily endure
the tortures of dyspepsia, when system
attic use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
will rid US of the atrocous malady which
unless physicians are very much at fault
tends to shorten the term of our existence,
Heartburn, billiousness constipation, al
most always accompany this complaint and
are symptomatic of it. These are all ex-
tinguished by the Bitters. which also con-
quers completely malaria, rheumatism,
nervousness and debility. Lince the ap-
pearance of la grippe it has shown sin
gular mastery over this formidable COM
plant that has carried off so many of our
brig and best.

METHODS In CONGRESS.

Mr. SPRINGER's illness at this time is
peculiarly unfortunate to the country, as
was Speaker CRIsP's when, just after his
election, that gentleman fell sick. Both
events have seriously retarded the bust
ness of the House. The latter delayed the
arrangement of the committees and the
report on rules of procedure. Mr..
SPRINGER's inability to attend the session
deprives the House of leadership at the
juncture where the committee on ways and
means had announced its readiness to begin
the labors incident to Legislation for the
reform of the tariff. But for the sulking
and, as we think, unpatriotic behavior of
Mr.. MILLS, in refusing the second
place on the ways and means committee,
the work would now devolve on him
of leading the House, and, with his expe-
rience in the last session, matters would
have gone on without interruption. This
work will now probably fall upon Mr.. Nc
MILLIN, of Tennessee, who, though safe
and able man, as well as good parliament
tartan, is not as well equipped for leader
ship on the floor as either MILLS or
SPRINGER.
Among the great wants in Congress, par
ticularly in the most numerous branch, is
less forensic and more executive talent. 1t
Is fearful to think of the amount of time
utterly wasted in speechifying. OF course
we require men there possessing the ability
to clearly and perspicaciously explain the
intent and purpose of measures reported
from the committees, and upon which mem
bers are to vote. Men, on the other baud.
must be expected to point out considerations
that are Objectionable or undesirable. But
this reasonable discussion within proper
limits does not justify tiresome rehash of
old campaign speeches or scrap-book COM
pendiums of extracts from the newspapers.
The people of the country take very little
interest in these grown-persons' debating
tournaments, and they naturally become
impatient over the fact that sessions OF
Congress are drawn out to most fatigu-
ing length and thinness Perhaps the
committees are numerically too large: per
haps Congress itself is too large in point
of numbers. But surely some reform
could be devised to shorten the intiictior
upon the public, in both cost and endur
: ance, Of our national general assembly

terdey, namely, to transact no other bust
ness before passing the regular appropria
ton bills. But the supreme and paramount
reed is some way of cutting off the ever
lasting stream of loQuacity.

The IOWA DILEMMA.

One of the Republican members of the
Iowa legislature, Senator CATCH, has
kicked over the traces and introduced
bill for local option. Only one other Re
publican in the senate favors this measure,
but the Democrats in q body will, it is
thought, support it, and then there are
some expectations of its passage The de-
feat, short time ago, of similar bill,
called the SCHMIDT bill, raised great
outcry among the -prohibitionlsts of
Iowa, but the legislature, notwithstanding.
has been flooded with petitions calling
upon the Republicans Of that body to stand
firm and not yield an inch, though thereby
they lose the Presidency. 1t is acknowl-
edged on all hands that the Democracy has
carried the state twice on this issue, but
the Republicans claim that to divide on
the liquor question is to practically break
up their organization. They argue that
concession to the high license idea will
drive off all the coercive temperance people,
numbers, and leave them high and dry,
suspended like MAHoMET's coffin. This is
understood to be the idea of Senator
ALLISON, who has the confidence of the
Republicans generally, and who, having
helped to make prohibition an issue in
Iowa, doesn't see how the responsibility
can be escaped. 1t is his, interest to keep
the party undivided; but the present atti-
tude of affairs is one of great embarrass
ment to him, especially considering the
use that has been made of his name in con.
nection with the Minneapolis nomination
for the Presidency. AS the Washington
Post remarks in recent article:
| 1t is al right for Mr.. ALLISON to make the
best of bad situation, but plurality of 81 ,0Ot
for HARRISON in 1888. followed by Democratic
plurality of 500 for governor in 1889, which was
increased TO over 5000 in 1891, carrying with i
the election Of the entire Democratic statl
ticket hardly seems to warrant the Senator
hopes of recovering SO much lost ground in 1892

hood Of the people to say that they could
or would thus be delivered bodily in pay
ment for services rendered One bushes
when he thinks of the proposition. He is
ashamed that anybody should declare that
the men of Utah have no higher regard for
principle; that they could be turned into
the Republican fold at the will of any body.
We understand that one of the Republi-
can Senators approached with the ridicu
lous promise or proposition, said frankly
that he didn't believe the goods could be
delivered and, furthermore, if he thought
they could be delivered" he would oppose
statehood, for men who regarded suffrage
SO lightly ought not to be intrusted with IT,
The answer was proper one, for it was in
defense of the honesty and integrity of the
men of Utah. If THE HERALD had
the faintest idea that the citizens
of this territory could be di-
rected into the Republican camp,
against their conscientious political belief
If it believed that In gratitude for Re-
publican votes in Congress in favor of
statehood, the Democrats in this territory
would enter the Republican party, ii would
say, delay admission for a generation until
a race of men had come who were politically
honest and priced full citizenship so much
that they would not barter their principles
for even temporary advantage.
But we do not believe this SANDER, nor
does anybody else We know the people
of this territory so well that when any
man says they will be Republicans if the
Republican party gives them statehood, he
grossly libels the community. Utah is
Democratic from one end to the other, and
rather than purchase emancipation with
their honor, their integrity, their political
principles, the people will say, continue
the condition of territorial serfdom until
doomsday, and we will remain true to ou1
convictions and maintain our self-respect.'
