oNE BIG STEP FORWARD.

The passage of the Wilson bii in
the House of Representatives, by a
vote of 2OS against 14e is a triumph for
the promoters of that measure and au-
gurs well for the cause of tariff re-
form. The attachment of the income
tax measure has not tended to retard
the progress of the main bin as some
people anticipated. The enthusiasm
displayed and the plaudits bestowed
upon Mr.. Wilson must have been
highly gratifying to him, and they
show the confidence in his ability and
perseverance felt by the party of which
he has been the leader in the tariff
movement
Now comes the tug of war. There
will be three elements of opposition in
the Senate: The Republicans who are
opposed to the whole measure, those
Democrats who represent sectional in
terests and will want notifications of
various provisions and others of the
same party who win fight the income
tax attachment
They win all take their time. In the
Senate that means a long debate,
many hindrances and much obstruc-
ton, unless some agreement can be en-
tered into for the purpose of bringing
the question 10 speedy issue for the
good of tha count,v
What is to be done should be done
quickly. The disturbance to business
which is said to be caused by the I'M
certainty of the tariff movement. will
be fairly chargeable to the party which
causes the delay. 1t is to be hoped
that there will be no faetious opposi-
ton on the part of Democratic Sena-
tors, who though differing with the
majority in some matters of detail.
must yet be with the party in the de-
termination to give the country that
tariff reform which has been so en-
phatically demanded.
We may look for the passage of the
wilson bill in the Senate, substantially
in its present form, after a reasonable
time has been given for debate. Free
raw materials, reduction of duties
upon a large number of imports, rea-
sonable internal revenue provisions in
Guiding a moderate income tax. will
place our manufacturing interests in
fair relations to the masses, provide
needful means for the expenses of the
government, and open the way to that
general prosperity which all patriotic
people wish for and which the best
men of both parties sincerely desire to
promote.

ANOTHER COMPLAINT.

We publish below the plant of an
other worthy landlady who hopes
some bright member of the Legislative
Assembly will frame bill for the pro-
lection of landlords, that will be just
to all parties and be free from reasona-
bic objection.
The position of property owners I'm
able to recover rent is different from
that of the storekeeper who gives cred
ut to unfortunate or dishonest pur-
chasers. He can shut off the supplies
when he pleases and without further
expense. But the landlord defrauded
of his rent is powerless without incur
rims expense to get rid of his impudent
and swindling renter. who snaps his
fingers and defies the person imposed
upon and either refuses to turn out,
or carries off the goods on which the
landlord cannot make restraint, being
protected by the law of exemption.
This is a subject that ought to be
investigated, and if the bill already in
troduced can be modified so as to pro-
tect the landlord and be fair to the
tenant it ought to be so amended and
receive attention. If not, a new bill
covering the ground should be intro
duced as soon as possible:
Salt Lake City, Feb. 1, 1894.
To the Editor of The Herald:
In this period of high taxes, high
money and low rents, popular sympa-
thy runs altogether too much with poor
or rich tenants, as against the strug-
Cling and honorable landlord or land
lady, who, too often, are defrauded of
their rent purposely, needlessly or 9TH
erwise. Yet these unfortunate property
owners are expected to pay taxes and
interest promptly, or else pay the pen
atty, even to the 'uttermost farthing."
The writer is acquainted with land
lords who have had to deny themselves
and their families everything but the
barest necessaries and yet have been
compelled to let their property be sold
for taxes, simply because they have
been cheated and cheated out of their
rent.
Is it fair that the class of citizens
who shoulder the public expense should
be f1eeced and defed, with no chance
of redress?
Doubtless there are some poor. honest
tenants whom l should be sorry to see
distressed; but there are a great many
dishonest ones who make the hard
times an excuse and never dream of
paying the landlord.
Cannot something be done for the
owners and taxpayers, whose
in the matter of rent too
often precipitates their own ruin? Re
spectfully.
ONE OF THE SUFFERERS.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-02-02

the American to compete with the
foreign manufacturer, and the reduced
duty levied for revenue will afford
incidental protection more than s,f-
fcient to cover the difference between
home and foreign wages.
Free trade is not contemplated in
the present tariff movement. It Will
come some day. 1t will have to be
reciprocal. The more enlightened and
advanced nations will take the initil-
tive, perhaps as between themselves
only at the first. But when the ports
of the world are open to the products
of the world, so that what Nature CT
Bountiful Providence has caused to
be produced more perfectly or pro-
fusely in one part of the globe. may
be freely exchanged for other products
from the spots especially adapted to
their growth or manufacture. the
world will be the better for it in
wealth, in union and in that common.
interest which promotes fraternity and
peace.
But now that is not proposed, be-
cause this nation as well as others is
not ready for it The Wilson bill does
not chop off the tariff on manufac-
tured articles so as to give cause for
the rampant outcries of the favored
classes OF course its passage will
unsettle affairs for time That effect
is consequent upon all economic
changes. But when the matter is
once decided it will not be long before
its stimulating effects upon industry
viii be felt and appreciated.
Competition with foreign manufac-
lures? Certainly Why not? If the
improved machinery. skilled labor,
business acumen and general push Of
American progress cannot compete
with foreign ability, Yankeedoodledom
ought to be ashamed of itself The
difference in the prices of labor here
and abroad will be more than covered
by the moderated, tariff, remember, SO
that the wages question should cut no
figure in fair argument on this sub
ject.
The insincerity of the whole COM
petition question is evident from the
fact that while the American protected
classes claimed to have reduced the
prices of goods below the amount Of
the duty upon them, they yet clamored
for higher tariff and obtained it in
the Mckinley atrocity. And as TO the
wages question, the increased prosec-
ton did not raise the wages of the
worker. but in many cases under its
full operation they were decreased.
The great mass of consumers con-
shutting the whole population of the
United States must not be taxed on
nearly everything they use for the
enrichment of any class who are in
the comparatively insignificant mi
nority. Tariff reform has been de-
manded with no uncertain voice. 1t
must come and the sooner the better
for the whole country, producers, man
ufacturers and consumers.

A PROTEST. AGAINST PUGILIsM.

To the Editor of The Herald:
| In your issue of the 2Sth inst. / no.
tice your correspondent, L. c.. NJ has
lventured to express his opinion upon
| the recent diSgraceful and brutal COM
bat between Messrs. Corbett and Mitch

no doubt very interesting to the ma
jority of the American people and es-
pecially so, to those inhabiting western

Unsuitable hate of everything of an
English nature. were OVERLOOKING with
bounce and eXultation at the defeat
and humiliation OF the Englishman.
The appreciation of prize fighting, and
foot ball, expressed by l.. c. M, cannot
be considered commendable, since such
brutal sports have always been de-
Imoralizing in their effects upon society.

this argument were carried to it's legi-
innate conclusion, no legislator ought
to say anything about clothing unless
he is a tailor about books unless he
is printer, about money unless he is

a criminal, or about insane asyIums

The gentlemen who form the ma
jorty of the ways and means commit
tee have exhibited a wonderful famili-
arity with the complex details of the
important bill which has been under
discussion in the House of Representa-
tiyes. They have evidently given them
thorough consideration. They were
ridiculed for allowing hearings to man
ufacturers in committee, by the very
papers that are now berating them
for knowing nothing of manufactures,
basing the assumption on the mere
fact that they do not live in factory
districts.
1t is fortunate for the advocates of
tariff reform that the gentlemen who
framed the revenue bill are not con-
trolled by the manufacturers. If they
were. we should have another edition
of McKinleyism instead of the measure
demanded by the country. It is sur
prising that in the short time before
them they prepared a bill so complete
and with the vast number of particu-
lars contained in the proposed law.
And of all the childish objections that
have been raised to it by the pro-
tectionists, this plea that its trainers
do not reside among the people who
oppose it is the most puerile and lu-
dicrols

A LUDIcRoUs OBJECTION.

1t is amusing to see the folly Of men
when baff1ed in fair argument and
blinded to everything but their own
interests or the one idea which serves
some folks for a hobby. There are
protectionist advocates unable to eff
feet their own ends, after being allowed
every reasonable opportunity to pres
ent the claims of their respective in
dustries to protection by a high tariff,
now attempting to belittle the Con-
gressmen who have spent so much
time in framing a revenue bill which
shall be as conservative of those in
terests as is consistent with the good
of the country.
The latest objection is that the ma
iority of the gentlemen who compose
the Ways and Means committee do not
live in manufacturing communities. .
That is terrible offence, is it not?
Could there be a stronger Disqualified
ton? The idea of the DIRECTORS seems
to be that gentlemen authorized to pre-
pare a bill to reform the tariff. ought
to come from districts where the in
terests of the most influential people
are against any such reform. That is
to say. Congressman who frame a
tariff for revenue bill ought to come
| from protectionist districtsi
That would be a very pretty arrange
ment for the high tariff advocates, no
doubt And as they have had the OPP
portunity heretofore when the Republic
cans were in control, to make out
their own schedules and dictate the
rates of duty that suited their respec-
tive interests, having fried out fat
enough to put men of their own
kidney in power. it is not surprising
that they think now, all members of
Congress who have anything to do
with framing tariff bill ought to be
from the same class
a list of the places where a. number
of the Ways and Means committee re-
side has been published and is glee-
fully copied by local paper, which has
belabored those gentlemen repeatedly
as knowing nothing of the question be-
cause they do not dwell in places
where manufactures are carried on.
Because the home of Mr.. Wilson of
Virginia is at Charleston, which has
but small population, he is therefore
incompetent to arrange the details of
the tariff bill That is the kind of logic
that recommends itself to the. brilliant
mind of our protectionist neighbor.
On the same rule, that paper being
published in an inland town cannot
possibly be an authority on ships. a
subject on which it frequently dis
courses. If man who does not live
sn a manufacturing district cannot
possibly know anything about manu-
features. then a man who does live in
a manufacturing district cannot know
anything about agriculture. Splendid
reasoning is it not?
Also because a man has taken UP
his abode for family residence in a
small town or perhaps outside Of any
town, it is not possible for him to
know anything of city life. Reversing
it, if he dwells in a crowded city he
cannot be familiar with anything that
relates to rural districts and is incom-
