The price of foreign glass falls ten
times faster than does the price of

The Mckinley tax on window glass
ranges from 1ss cents to S7s cents per

The trust charges that much more

This Is thirty-hve per cent. more

a COOP APPOINTMENT.


The Governor has made an excel
lent choice In his appointment of Hon.
John T. Game as Territorial Auditor of
Public Accounts and Recorder of
Marks and Brands. to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the resignation of
Arthur Pratt who has been elected
Marshal of this city.
The retiring officer has performed
the duties of his position to the salts
faction Of the public. We have not
heard of any complaints concerning
him, ana we believe everybody who
has had occasion to transact business
with the Auditor has found him courte-
Gus, prompt and efficient.
The fitness of Mr.. Game for this
place is universally recognized. He
was for a long time Recorder of this
city, and the experience he gained in
that capacity. added to his clerical
labors previously. with the business
habits acquired in many years of ac-
tive service, public and private, have
thoroughly prepared him for the i'm
portant pest of Territorial Auditor.
The people of Utah whom Mr.. Game
served so long and so faithfully as
their Delegate in Congress. will ap-
plaud this appointment and regard It
as a small recognition of his devotion
to their interests. MIR, Caine has been
so long in public life that to embark in
any private business would be like
commencing the world anew. We are
pleased to know that he is installed in
position where the public will have
the benefit of his services. and he will
occupy a place suited to his taste and
talents.
or course this appointment will hold
until the Governor sends in his nomi-
nations for territorial officers to the
legislative council, and then there is
no doubt that Mr. Game Will receive
the support of members of both politi-
cal parties, as he is deservedly popular
and his abilities and fidelity are I'M
questioned. We congratulate the
gentleman on receiving the appoint
ment and the Governor in making so
judicious a selection.

THE TWO SIDES OF PROJECTION.

| There are two sides to every ques-
ton Here is one side of the ''protec-
tor" mystery:
1t appears of record that white lead
sells for cents per pound on this for
eign market. and II cents here; soda
liz cents abroad, and. cents here;
window glass above Is inches square,
2 cents per pound abroad and 4 cents
here; plate glass. % cents per square
foot abroad. and SIS cents here; pig
iron $40 to SIS per ton abroad, and
ing purposes ITO cents per pound
abroad, and 2 $40 cents per pound
here; sugar. 3 cents there, and cents
here; wool hats of like quality for 55
cents per pound there and $1.10 here;
knit goods of like quality &c cents per
pound there. ana 45 cents here, shawls
of like quality IS cents per pound
there, and s1.22 here; and so on for
every protected article of manufac-
ture which is produced by any one of
the $50 protected trusts now in exist
ende in this country.
Here is the other side:
Wheat that sells for 40 cents
bushel in Utah sells for IS cents in
Liverpool; butter that sells for 10 cents
here. sells for is cents there; beef that
sells for cents here sells. for is cents
there; potatoes that sell for 80 cents
here. sell for 20 cents there. even wool
that sells for S cents here, sells for 8
cents therei and so on for every ar
ticle of farm production, and every
article of raw material that can be or
is produced by men with small capital,
and this list includes all that is pro-
duced by over nina tenths of our pro-
ducing population.
Here is the conclusion of the matter:
Everything handled by the gigantic
trusts is dearer here than abroad,
usually by the exact amount of the
tariff tax. Everything produced by the
independent, Seif-sustalnlng farmer,
miner or other producer is cheaper
here than in the great markets of
Europe.
The American people are rapidly be-
coming either very rich or very poor;
either trust managers. or tenant serfs.
The great question is, shall the trusts
become omnipotent, because of the
special favors and the real tariff pro-
lection which they receive? or shall
the people be permitted to retain their
and win wealth by re-
iecting the sham. worthless protection
on wheat and potatoes and gold, silver,
and lead ores. and by demanding
equal rights for all, special favors
to none?"

WHAT DOES 1T MEANT

The Deseret News quotes this para
graph from The Herald:
That was a cute little trick played by
a callow Republican to get a full re-
port Of his speech in the Mormon
church organ. Pretending to correct
errors in The Herald's synopsis of his
remarks he succeeds in showing that
our report was substantially correct
and has not pointed out a single error
therein. But he has succeeded in pa
rading a half Mormon speech in the
fun church paper, and so has gained
his point. But it shows what will be
done in Republican politics.
The News then makes the annexed
comments;
The very issue of the Salt Lake Her
aid which contains the foregoing de
licious paragraph. also devoted more
than column TO a long. broad, round,
square and other kinds of g letter from
Hon. c. S. Yarian. Republican candi-
date for the Legislature. The fTerald's
politics isn't half so striking as it's con-
sisteney.
Yes, The Herald published a long
letter from c. S. varian in which he
castigated Ex-Governor Thomas severe
~, ikening him to a noted criminal
lawyer in these words:
This is Choate who made it safe to
murder, and of whose health thieves
asked before they began to steal
The publication Of the letter was sug-
gested by the presence of Thomas on
the stump for varian. But what is
there in publishing Variants opinion
of Thomas, inconsistent with Directing
to dragging the Mormon question into
a political speech. and pointing out the
cunning little trick by which that
speech was published in full in the
church organ? Can anybody tell what
the News means by its Striking" re-
marks? Can the News tell what it
means itself?

hoods that the Mormon people were

former Mormon leaders were in favor

party.
The Herald deprecated the introduc-
ton of this question. But it was
dragged in again by another speaker

stump speaker who should Ego slow

prominent churchmen so on the stump

said on the other side.
The Herald does not wish to engage
in such a controversy. hut it will not

are so fast in the matter.

party to the Mormon Church which
the Tribune denies. one has but to re-
