SUING FOR noUNTIEs.

Ex-senator Edmunds is reported as
saying that every cent of sugar bounty
due under the Mckinley law is collect
able and can be recovered in the
United States courts in suits brought
for that purpose. This would be on
the theory that the Mckinley law was
in the nature of a legislative contract
and cannot be repealed, and that the
producers of sugar have complied with
their part of the contract If suit shall
be brought and the claim of the sugar
producers sustained, what, an anomal-
Gus state of affairs it will be. A policy
of government would become the means
of giving vested rights to those who
had conformed their business to it. If
the bounty granted sugar producers
by the Mckinley law can be collected
because it is in the nature of a contract.
then there is no good reason why the
sugar producers cannot each year per-
form their part of the contract, (the
Mckinley bill made provision for boun-
ties for fourteen years. and each year
bring suit against the government to
collect the bounty.
Surprising that through the induce
ments held out by the Mckinley law
in the shape of bounties men were in
duced TO purchase land on which to
grow sugar beets and that the amount
raised per acre were insufficient to
reimburse them for their outlay and
make fair return on the capital in
vested without the bounty, would they
have any action for damages on ac-
count Of the withdrawal of the bounty :?
If ex-senator Edmunds is right it
would seem they have; the supposition
is neither extreme nor absurd
This talk of the sugar producers
suing the government shows the folly
and RIGHTEOUSNESS of the system of
granting bounties. If men who have
ventured their money into the sugar
industry find they will be losers if there
is no bounty then it shows conclusively
that the system is a lure and a snare
and that it induces capital into chan
nels that are Improbable of them
selves and which it would not naturally
seek. If the industry is one in which
capital can be invested with profit, to
give bounty to those engaged in it is
to take the peoples money and bestow
it on those who are already beyond the
need of aid. To do this is only to
make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. This is the economic view of
the matter. Let us look at the moral
side
What could be more unjust and i'm
moral than for the national or state
legislature to voluntarily pass laws that
will give private citizens the right to
bring suit for part Of the taxes paid by
the people to defray the expenses of
the government? If one class of citi-
zens has this right why should not all
have it? Why should not the farmer
Who raises hay, grain and potatoes be
given the right to sue for bouI.s as
well as the producers of sugar?
All these bounties come from one
source-the pockets of the people. The

SENATOR JONES, ACTION.

The full meaning of Senator Jones
action in leaving the Republican party
has not yet been realized. The first
prise was so great that the conse-
quences of this detection were not
sensed at the time and probably are not
| today.
Not Only is Senator Jones a great
authority on silver but he is a great
authority on finance, and when he
made a speech in the Senate it was
an event. No matter how men differed
from him they gave respectful atten-
ton to his views. His speeches were
not mere time-killers as too often hap
pens in the Senate and House, but
they were the views of an able man
! ably expressed, views that were the
result of deep study and strong con-
victions.
That the Nevada Senator must have
pondered long and considered we'll the
step he was about to take in severing
his political connection with the party
with which he had been allied for
many, many years, none can doubt
nor would he have taken that step had
he believed there was any hope, even
the remotest. for silver in the Republic
can party.
The gravity of this step is fully APP
preciated by that staunch Republican
paper, the New York Press. 1t says:
1t will be well, however, for the Re
publicans in this part of the country
to regard Senator Jones' action with
all the gravity it deserves. Let them
consider how great must have been the
force of the conviction that induced a
man so able and so excellent TO sever
the party bonds which have held him
all his life. Not many men in this re-
gion realize the vast dimensions of the
injury that has been inflicted upon the
West by the decentralization of silver
and the constant appreciation of gold.
The Press fully realizes what the
decentralization of silver means to the
West. But the bad effects of the de-
monetiZation of silver are not confined
to the West; they extend all over the
country If the chief industry of a
vast portion of the country is para
lyzed a portion where the standard of
living is higher than in any other, so
Nl4oh II - OlNcil LILIES Called
western extravaganza. then its pur-
chasing power is greatly damaged and
the consequence is that those indusl
tries that have supplied it's wants are
injured. This is only one phase. If
the money of the country is contracted
that in circulation appreciates and
prices go down, and business suffers
from inactivity.
Many of the evils consequent on the
demonstration of silver can only be
cured by its RECOMMENDATION. That
there is no hope for this in the Republic
can party the action of Senator Jones
makes certain. and that his example
viii be followed by others of his party
in the West there is scarcely any doubt.
Senator Jones' course marks the part
ing of the ways between the Republic
can party and the friends of silver.

THE OUTLOOK.

The interest which has been awaken
ed among the Democrats of Utah re-
ceived a signal illustration in the at
tendance and the enthusiasm at the
f. primaries on Monday night. Not only
were the meetings unusually large,
but gentlemen of prominence and in
fuence were present and aided in the
proceedings. and everybody seemsd
awake to the needs of the hour and
determined to go into the fight to win.
There is the same kind of awaken
ing all over the territory. The news
thai reaches The Herald from all
quarters is of the most encouraging
! kind. The apathy of the recent past is
gone. The feelings that obtained, to a
great extent through the misrepresen-
tations of the enemy and their exag-
gerations' of the hard times" have
been dissipated. The lethargy is
shaken off and the time and disposi-
ton for lively work have come.
There is scarcely the shadow of a
doubt that the Democratic party will
carry the territory in 1894 as il did in
1892. There is no disunion to divide its
forces. Look at the staunch old Third
precinct in this city. The stalwarts
are all together again. Personal differ
ences have been settled. Local strifes
have been buried. Determine ton to
