During the five years Of 1S6S72 there
was an import duty of and 3 cents q
pound on coffee. There were imported
1881, 432, 0S7 pounds at cost of $780,,
294, 643 On this the government col
lected revenue of 500, 018, 331. At the
clamorous demand of the Democratic
party this ''robber tariff" which taxed
the poor mans breakfast table, was re-
pealed and coffee put OH the free list.
During the next five years-1S73-7-
there were imported 1,675, 097, $50
pounds of coffee at cost of $273, 993, =
SIT, from which the government de-
rived no revenue. The average price of
coffee for the five years of tariff tax was
10 cents and mill per pound. That for
the five years Of free trade was 16 cents
and mills. Repeating the tariff on
coffee cost the government in five years
$53, O18, 331 in loss Of revenue and cost
the people $107, 206, 229 in increased
price of coffee. And such is the price of
Democratic craftsmanship! But you
ask. How could this be? When we re-
pealed our tariff, Brazil levied an ex-
port tax and transferred the $53, 000, 8.
900 to her Golfers, and the importers
formed syndicate" and transferred
the $107, 900, 900 to their pockets. No
wonder New York importers want free
trade. See Evans, Export Duties. 1867

Money Drawn From the New York Banks
That Was Put by During Prosperity.
The New York state superintendent
of banking has prepared his annual re-
port upon the savings banks within his
jurisdiction. 1t is of interest because it
shows that the amount of money held
by savings banks in this state to the
credit of depositors on July /, 1894,
was $12, 900, 600 less than on July /,
1898.
Out of the 81 counties in New York
state there were only three that showed
any increase in deposits, showing that
the result of the threat of free trade was
as widespread as it was disastrous. But
even this does not represent the true

D-.ocRArs FAVOR FOREIGNERS.
Secretary Carlisle Stretches the Law to
SaueIch American Interests.

Secretary Carlisle Stretches the Law to
squeIch American Interests.
Tie attitude of our secretary of the
treasury, Mr.. Carlisle, in desiring to ac-
commodate the foreign manufacturers
and the importers of foreign goods is
quito in keeping with the free trade pol
icy of his party. Were it otherwise we
should be surprised at reading the fol-
lowing extract from recent Washing
ton dispatch:
Secretary Carlisle is especially anx.
ious to find some law Of construction by
which he can admit goods which under
the present law are dutiable and are
now in bond, but which become free
under the new tariff law, into the Unit
ed States free of duty without subject
ing the owners to the expense Of export
ing them and then reimporting Thorn.
1t is very evident that the German
tariff bill did not authorize what Secre-
tary Carlisle has since permitted. Had
the new law been explicit in SO doing
there would have been no occasion for
the secretary Of the treasury to be 'es-
pecially anxious" to oblige his foreign
friends. An honest man would not have
sought bubble or subterfuge to
evade the law. A true American would
have executed the law as he found it
and would have been glad of the oppor-
tunity that served to benefit Americans
by prolonging the chance for the en-
ployment of American labor in the
manufacture Of American goods
The public prominence that has SO re-
peatedly been given to this Democratic
officials inordinate desire to save few
dollars for foreign manufacturers, while
at the same time wrestling q few dol
lars from the unfortunate American
wage earners, is inferential proof that
the exact reading of the law has not
been put into execution. 1t was un-
doubtedly the original intention of the
free traders to grant to foreign manu-
facturers the special privilege that the
treasury official has gone out Of his way
to yield. But through one Of its many
inconsistencies and crudities" the orig
inal intention of the bill was defeat
ed, and meddlesome official has trans
acted very dirty piece of business.
His action should be tested in court Of
law.

HOSTESS AND GUEST.
Very Practical Talk In the Interests OF
Doth--Social Engagements.


Doth--Social Engagements.
ITO tho hostess who believes in the
amenities of life, the entertainer of tho
short stay or the visit of long duration,
we speak in good faith. When a hostess
extends an invitation, the time should be
specified, the hour for arriving the day of
departure The habit of inviting q visitor
for any time Is for no time, and such an
invitation should never be needed. For
hostess to neglect her guests is unpardon-
able, yet to weary them with attention Is
also annoying The art of true hospitality
is to bestow that perfect liberty that in
sures comfort not only to the visitor, but
for tho hostess as well. For the guest
there should DO hours of retirement, and
the we'll bred woman never overlooks this
fact. That privilege of solitude is very
necessary at times and blessed be tho en-
tertainer who understands it, " remarks q
plain speaking exchange.
On the other hand, the guest is remind
cd by excellent social authority that an
invitation to friends house is always a
compliment and should be so esteemed.
Whether it be for single meal or for days,
for an informal tea or q ceremOnious din
ner, the fact that one Is asked shows that
one is wanted. Some persons hold social
engagements by very tenuous thread
and apparently feel at liberty to modify or
break them, according to moods and ca
prices, but to do this is not good form and
Is an indication of selfish disregard for the
convenience of others To make thought
full arrangements toward entertaining q
guest, and then, at the last moment, to
receive q telegram or letter explaining
that the guest is not coming, after all, is
common but very disappointing expert
encc Illness or calamity is of course
sufficient excuse for alteration of plans,
but nothing less can DO condoned IN tho
woman who aspires to reputation for
good manners.

A UNIVERSAL DUTY.

There are still many people in Utah
who profess indifference to politics.
That is unfortunate. 1t proceeds from
a mistaken notion. Because some peo-
pie go wild over party contentious and
display both lack of prudence and lack
of accuracy, others say, well intend
to keep out of politics altogether
And they carry this sentiment so far
that when election day comes they
stay at home, instead of casting their
votes in the interest of good govern
ment according to their best under
standing.
There is no need for peaceable peo-
pie to engage in the turmoil and strife
of political campaign They need
not shrek for Republicanism or shout
for Democracy. They are not com
PEELED to march in parades or. applaud
the utterances of party orators. They
are perfectly free to keep out of any
contentious on the tariff or other COM
plicated questions. But they ought not
to neglect the duty of citizen on
election day.
Every man endowed with the suf-
frage ought to exercise it. That is a
civil obligation. The bestowal of the
franchise carries with it d moral re-
sponsibility as to its use. It's possess
sion implies its employment. This is a
government of the people; at least
that is the theory. It is not a govern
ment of the people in the full sense of
the term when only moiety of the
people take any active part in it. The
men selected to occupy public positions
should represent the majority of the
citizens, and that this may be the case,
ali voting citizens should take part in
the elections. We do not believe these
simple truths will be disputed. But
the suffrage should be exercised in
diligently. Every citizen ought to
know why he votes for this man or
that measure. And to do that he must
make himself acquainted with public
questions, and learn what the candi-

Correspondence.
A rather startling proposition you
say! Yet this is in my opinion just
EXACTLY what the two bills now before
the Legislature mean. 1t is what it
has been for the last thirty-eight years
of my experience as a farmer in this
territory. In the first Place, these
animals are nuisance on or around
our farms. except in enclosures of
their owners properly fenced to keep
them there.
Section of the Council bill author
ICES the county court to declare what
shall constitute a lawful fence for that
county would be just right in this
case The bill says that majority
of all the taxpayers of said county
may declare in favor of fencing their
farms. etc. Well, if all the taxpayers
had farms to fence it would be a little
more reasonable. But seeing the num-
Der of farmers is about one-third of
the taxpayers, it simply means the
other two-thirds could vote for their
animals to run around and on the far
mer's crops as it is impossible to
fence them out. For we must always
remember that the farmers as a. rule
live in cities from one to three or four
miles away from their farms There
fore, under these conditions, their
farms and crops are entirely at the
mercy of the stock and their owners
For If the stock should fail to break
down the fences some of their owners
would certainly do it for them. We
have tried this kind of thing long
enough TO our cost as farmers. Let
US have a change PAYSON.

A SILLY MEMoRIA1.

AS the sugar bounty question was

during recent political discussions in
this territory, it is not surprising that
the party spirit which entered into
those disputes should be exhibited in
the Legislature. But it is a little
astonishing that the Republican en-
deavor to pander to local interests.
Indifferent TO sound political economy
and the general welfare, should be
made in such a manner as to damage
its own cause in the minds Of thought
ful and unbiased people. However as
the promoters of the movement frankly
confess they do not expect it VIII ac-
complish anything in Congress. we
suppose they are careless as to the
Inconsistency of their pretended ap-
peal.
Passing by the errors of fact in
stating that the act of October 1. 1890.
served to revive the sugar industry
in Utah and that the establishment
Of the sugar works was consequent
upon certain citizens relying on the
promise Of the congressional bounty.
which are refuted by the truth that
the whole matter was projected be-
fore the bounty act was passed, we
direct attention to a statement in the
memorial that is manifestly false. It is
this:
"The output of sugar for the present
