ROYAL ROADS TO WEALTH.

While protection has failed in it's
professed object of making the coun-
try wealthy by the mysterious method
of taxing the people, it has succeeded
| in matchmaking a great many, far
too many, with the notion that Con-
gress can by legislation make all rich.
They ignore the fact that there is no
royal road to wealth but persist in
seeking it in every direction. Not only
this, but the theory of protection makes
people believe. that the government not
only may but should lend it's taxing
power to those who can secure it's ia
vor. Heretofore this favor has been
enjoyed directly by the capitalist
class, and only remotely and indi-
rectly, if at all, by the agriculturist
and laboring class. Some of them are
beginning to realize the facts in the
case and demand their rights A
direct appeal in behalf of the agricul-
turists is made by California man.
Saturday David Lubin, of Sacra-
nento, appeared before the Com
mittee on Agriculture of Con-
gress which is investigating the
present depressed condition of ag-
riculture. He presented plan
every body has a plan nowadays for
the relief of the farmer. 1t is that in
asmuch as the agriculturists products
are sold in the free trade markets Of
the world he should be compensated
for the increase in the price of what
he buys which is sold in a protected
market by the levy of an export boun-
~ on staple agricultural products such
as wheat, corn, cotton and the like.
This is really a, plan for con1pensa-
tory duties. The class that Mr. Lubin
represents is as much entitled to
special congressional consideration as
any other. But none of these seem to
understand that their prosperity must
depend upon themselves, and that if
it depends upon the right to take part
of someone else's goods or earnings
then that person is being Impoverished
to the extent to which they are de-
prived of the fruits of their labors.
1t is really surprising that a congress
sional committee will listen to such
wild and impradticable plans as this
one of the California granger. 1t is
time wasted and money thrown away.

HOME MANUFACTURE.

/ The people of Utah are ver:s much
| interested in the subject Of home ma
facture. There have always been home
manufactures in Utah and there always
/ will be. They existed by themselves
and called for no state aid, and needed
none. Because these manufactures have
existed and the people of this territory
| have always believed in them, it has
been sought by those who believe IN
protection to make it appear that the
people were protectionists in days gone
by when the theories of protection and
tariff reform were never discussed here.
| The Herald has repeatedly shown that
there was no foundation for this claim,
and that the home manufacture of
those days was in reality household
manufacture. We have just come across
a case of this kind, one that tells the
story to perfection. In the Davis
County Clipper of the 18th we find this
local note:
Samuel Owens has just built new
loom for weaving carpet and is now
ready 80 do carpet weaving for his
patrons. He does good weaving and
is a new conner, therefore we should
patronize him. Residence at the old
Arson Call estate.
That is the kind of home manufacture
that was found all over Utah twenty
five to forty years ago, and those who
were engaged in it then thought no
more of protection to their industries
than the man in the moon. To have
suggested to them that they should in
yoke state aid would have been to them
the most ridiculous thing in the world.
They would as soon have thought of
asking the state to furnish a driver
when they drove their team atield, or
a chopper when "bow'd the woods be-
meath their sturdy stroke
We have no doubt but that if Mr..
Owens were to petition the legislature
or Congress for bounty or protection
to his carpets he would be smiled at if
not jeered at But Mr.. Owens is as
much entitled to these things as any
capitalist, trust or corporation in the
land; entitled to protection just as
much as the men who own sheep.
If the politicians who pirate about
protection want an object lesson in
genuine home manufacture as practised
in Utah in the early days, they can find
it in the adjoining county. less than a
dozen miles from this city.

THE INCREASE OF IMMORTALITY.

There is considerable moralizing in
the press nowadays over the increase
of immortality. 1t is possible that the
! alleged increase may not be so great
as supposed, though we have no dis
position to belittle the facts or the eff
forts Of any OF our contemporaries to
stop its flow. But it must be admit
ted that increased facilities for ex-
posture of evil do not prove the in
crease of evil itself. The means for
turning the light on human conduct
and for presenting it to the public.
have greatly advanced in this pro-
gressive century, and that which is
done in secret is in a great measure
being revealed on the housetops.
The publication of the details of
vice and crime is now very common.
1t is demanded by the public appe-
tite Nothing sells a paper more
quickly than the full description of
something of scandalous character.
That is to be deplored, but it is a fact.
The supply is to meet the demand
Papers that altogether ignore such
things may be considered more respec-
table than others, but they do not
flourish on their responsibility and can
not live on their reputation. Some
journals that in theory hold UP the
publication of sensational details as
wrong and detrimental to the public.
never fail in practice to furnish them
if by so doing they can steal a march
upon their less pretentious contem-
poraries.
To have a press purged from these
alleged Objectionable elements, society
itself must be purified. Men say, some
times: II would not have such
and such an edition of paper
go into my house. Yet they
will read it themselves. and the
ladies of their household will hunt it
up and read II, and the editors of other
papers that affect to. be shocked will
read it and initiate it when they get
the chance we have mentioned Pa
pers are printed to sell. NO publisher
can afford very long to supply the
news at a pecuniary loss. He can try
to elevate popular sentiment, but he
cannot reform the world at leap. He
has no power to shut off the demand,
he can only limit or moderate the
supply.
The publication of the details of vice
and crime. is not the root of evil. Why
is it that immortality has so great a
sway in this enlightened era? Is it
not because there is not that horror Of
it, deep in the modern heart, which is
often expressed on the lips? If pure
women would carry out in social life
the sentiments they read in books
and utter themselves, great change
might be wrought.

The Courier Journal cannot get over
the late elections and their results. 1t
says: There are those who think that
party platforms were made to be ig-
nored, but no party ever yet success
fully ignored its platform. CTurn over
the pages of your political history and
find an instance where one ever did,
and, when found, get the best hat in
town and send the bill to this officeD
A party pledge is a promissory note,
and, as a promissory note, it should
be met and redeemed upon maturity -
There are not so many who think party
platforms are made to be ignored as
the Journal would have people believe.
The trouble with party platforms is
that they are apt to be too high sound
ing and verbose. Less length and
palmer, more Straightforward Ian
guage would improve most of them.
