The Change the Ola Soldiers are
Getting.

The present administration is decapi-
tating the old soldiers with vengeance.
Thirty-three veterans in Decatur, ILL.,,
were notified on Monday that they had
been dropped from the pension rolls I'M
til they can furnish new additional evil
dence why they should receive pensions.
Inasmuch as many of the persons who
have furnished the affidavits and proof
upon which claims for pensions have
been established are dead and gone, the
difficulty of getting "new evidence at
this late day is made apparent and the
absurdity of the demands of the pension
commissioners will be readily discerned.
A large majority of the old army sur
geons who treated the wounds of the
veterans and very many of the officers of
!. the various companies are dead, conse-
squently it will be almost impossible in
thousands of cases to secure new evil
dence. It is alleged that every one of the
thirty-three who we're suspended at De-
catur is incapable of doing manual labor.
What has happened at Decatur is mer.ly
n repetition of what has taken place in
hundreds of towns all over the country.
And yet it is an undeniable fact that
thousands of these foolish veterans voted
to retire the Republican party last FALL

introduced here and be a boon to our
tanneries.
The following letter from Mr.. Arthur
stayner, in reply to some remarks OF
correspondent in which the gentle
man was rather CURLY shown that he
had erred in regard to the tanneries of
Utah, will convey some information
on the subject;
Salt Lake City, Nov. 6, 1898.
To the Editor of The Herald:
1t appears by a communication IN to-
das's Herald that ] am in error in nav
l. ing stated that mot a pound OF lea
ther is being made in Utah TO-DAY.
ask pardon of the companies or lndl-
viduals who are manufacturing
leather in Parowan and Cedar City. l
was not aware that leather was beng
made there. / am informed that there
is also a tannery on the Cottonwoods
in Salt Lake county. My assertion was
evidently too broad by just this mucn-
The fact that such tanneries as that
operated by z. c. M. I. and superin-
tended by that energetic and clear
headed business man ". II. Rowe had
shut down, and the tanneries OF rugs
-
the territory were empty, gave me the
impression that the tanning business
was entirely abandoned.
The z. c.. NJ. /. tannery, the last one
making an exertiOn that / could near
Of, has been competing against Call
fornia by importing California oak
bark, but has been obliged to give
way because the tanners who operate
where the bark exists can send the
leather here cheaper than it can pos
Sibly be made here with imported
bark The reason why I mentioned
leather is this: There is a root grow
ing indigenously in Southern Utah,
Arizona and New Mexico which con-
tains from % to 40 per cent. more tan
mic acid than the California bark. 1t is
called 'canaigre" and is mentioned in
a Herald editorial of June 10 this year.
1t has been thoroughly tested by Euro
pean tanners and proved by them to be
in every respect an entire substitute
for oak and hemlock bark for tanning
purposes. I obtained through the cour-
tesy of MI l.. Clark, of st. George. a
bushel of the roots and Mr.. John
Whingate, of this city, has made some
calf skin and sole leather of first rate
quality with these roots. These roots
can be cultivated in Utah, and here is
the key to our making our own leather,
and as a consequence the making of
our own boots and shoes, thus employ
ing from 1900 to 1900 hands There
certainly is not pine bark enough in the
territory to make our leather. 1t has
been demonstrated that we cannot i'm
port California bark to compete success
fully, and unless we can follow the ex-
ample of the European tanners, who
have already planted 1000 acres in the
Pecos valley, New Mexico and raise
the roots in our southern settlements,
we shall still have to be dependent upon
others for our leather and boots and
shoes while our own people are unem-
ployed. Now, / ask is it not worth a
great effort to accomplish this?

wisest, ablest and most patriotic on

NEW TANNING MATERIAL.

The Herald, which is always ready
to promote home industries, has drawn
attention to improvements in the meth
DDS of tanning leather. in the hope that
it would prove advantageous to those
Utah institutions which have strug-
gled against eastern competitors for
the leather trade of the territory.
Among those improvements is the use
of canaigre in the place of bark for
tanning.
Canaigre is the name of a root that
grows in Arizona and New Mexico and
could no doubt be grown successfully
in southern Utah. 1t has been tested
and proved to be far more profitable
in the process Of tanning leather than
anything heretofore used. An eastern
company was formed to cultivate it
in New Mexico where it grows wild,
and as the bark for Utah tanning has
to be imported causing great expense,
we believed the canaigre root could be

ances one with another to get all he
could reasonably desire in reading mat
ter. They seem to be written without
reflection and printed regardless of
their self contradictions. In a long

by the Tribune to cover up the Ryan
expose made in Sundays Herald, and
it is accomplished in this way: 1.-THE
Heralds attempted sensation is after
all only a cock and bull story with no
foundation save the fact that an in
dictment was returned against Ryan
last Wednesday and that he has not

sertion that the fact is only a cock

eft Of the nation, to pay the expenses
Of government economically admins
tered. The opposite policy is thus
briefly but pertinently put by the og-
den Sun:
A protective tariff is a tax, and the
consumer pays it. Republican speak
ers and newspapers have contended
and are still contending that the for
eigner pays this tax. This may be
true in the first instance; but the
foreign importer charges the tariff
against the goods he brings here, the
wholesaler pays it and charges 1t UP
to the retailer; the retailer pays 1t and
he in turn charges it up to the con-
sumner, and he is obliged to pay 1T.
Not only that but goods manufac-
tured in this country pay this tax the
same as imported goods. That is the
reason why manufacturers are en-
abled to grow rich in q few years.
Whenever, by competition manufac-
tured goods fall below certain fig
ure, trust is formed by which prices
are again forced up. Such things are
possible only under protective tariff.
With free competition such course
would be impossible. Then goods,
whether manufactured or imported,
would only paw a reasonable profit,
and manufacturers would not be en-
abled to rob the whole people, as has
been the case for the past thirty years
under Republican rule.
The fact is the country is not
frightened by the spectre of free trade
invoked by Republican trickery. but
has been Frustrated by the realities of
Republican so-called protection the
results of which have accumulated for
thirty years and reached their culmin-
alton in the disasters of 1893.
