THE FEE SYSTEM.

There is a growing sentiment in favor
of aboHshing the fee system in criminal
courts. Public officers ought to be
fairly paid for their services and their
compensate should be fixed by law
They should be allowed salaries COM
mensurate with the work they are re-
quired to perform. That may be fluc-
tuaung as to hours Of employment but
the average can be made, and the in
.ducement TO increased activity simply
for the sake of the fees ought to be
taken away.
As an Illustration of how arrests are
made in Arizona, we clip the following
from the Gazette, explaining, however,
that we do not mean TO infer that any
such system prevails at the present
time in Utah:
zone Of the United States grand jur-
ors, lately returned from Tucson, states
that the way poor MeXicans have been
dragged up for violation of the United
States statutes is simply scandalous.
For instance, one poor Mexican woman,
simply an Indian, with scarcely a
Knowledge of Spanish. only few weeks
over from Mexico, was taken up by an
oVerLzeaious marshal for a violation
.of the Edmunds act" che and her
two children were locked up in the
Pima county Jail for several weeks,
though as soon as the United States dis
trict attorney and the United States
grand jury heard the details of the case
she was promptly released. Then the
woman was turned out of Jail to walk
sixty miles to her home IN Benson, bur
dened with her children and sick from
confinement in prison.
This was only a sample, though the
court house corridor at times was
crowded with sandaled and even bare
Footed poor Mexican Indians under
ARREST or taken as witnesses for in
fractions of laws that were never made
against them, laws the purport of
which they could never understand.
LAS one indignant juror put the mat
ter: As well arrest the Pimas or
Apaches for noncompliance with the
moral code of the white man Il
should be learned by the marshal OF
this territory that the Edmunds act
was passed in the interest of morality,
and good government, but its terms
should not be distorted for the simple
and transparent purpose Of piling UP
costs and fees for avarieious officials.
Against this practise District At
torney Ellinwood has resolutely set
his face. and for his opposition he is
deserving of all praise"

Yes. there is a sugar trust in Eng
land, just as in this country. From 1880
to 1890 this English sugar trust sold re-
fined sugar at AZ cents a pound; and
during the same period the American
sugar trust sold sugar at 71a cents a
pound-that is the only differencel
There is an English steel-rail trust
1t sells rails at SIS per ton. The Ameri-
can steel rail trust is precisely similar,
only that it sells its rails (usually) at
$50 per ton-that IS the only difference
between these two trusts
There is an English window glass
trust. 1t sells a box of 1SX24 window
glass for $3.50. The American trust sells
the same size and quality of glass at
S313 per box-that is the only differ
encei
There is an English iron trust, which
sells pig-iron at about $40 per ton. The
American pig-iron trust sells pig iron
at about SIT per ton-that is the only
differencet And so it goes through all
the other trusts. The tariff-fostered
trusts that add the price of the tariff
tax to all they sell in this country. are
no worse to Mr.. Bulge than the Eng
fish trusts, because both have the same
name-trusts. Why di Int he go on to
tell his hearers that there are trustees
in-trust, trust deeds, and some other
things known as ''trusts?" If it is the
name trust that he objects to, he
needn't go abroad to find it; but if he
objects to the robbery of the people by
organized gangs of wealthy plutocrats
banded together into trusts, he will fine
no such organizations abroad as the
450 American samples of tariff-fostered
monopolies.
The gentleman then proceeds to. tall
of the great tin-plate industry, with
farcical sobriety; he relates that huge
national joke as if he were actually
serious in regard to it. But he strangely
enough makes no mention of the Other
two Republican triplets brought forth
by the Mckinley tariff-pearl button!
and billy-goats. To mention the tin
plate and to leave the two other triplet:
out in the cold is very unkind of Mr.
Bulge.
Next he brings out some more "argu
ment:"

1t should be borne in mind that all this
reduction in prices was MADE under what
the free trader has chosen TO call a nlGh
protective tariff; fer there was 10 time

approached free trade # this decline In

more of that kind of 4 tax. II this is
robbing the people, have no doubt that
they can stand q great deal of that kind
of robbery.
The above table, which he has merely
copied, is false in some respects. 1t
gives prices of things that may be diff
ferent in their nature now from what
they were thirty years ago. Who knows
that the blankets, gloves. Bingham, etc.
are of the same quality? In other re-
spects the table is a forgery. The only
article in the whole table of which there
is an official record is sugar; and that
is just enough to crueify the whole
table of alleged statistics. In some OF
the years from 1850 to 1850, for example,
refined sugar was 8 cents a pound. In
no year was it IS. 1t is possible that
at the outbreak Of the war, its price
may have suddenly risen, but in all
those years the price of sugar was
usually from 10 to is cents, depending
on the price of the raw material.
The price of raw sugar, which is
nearly all imported and from which the
refined sugar is produ2sd. was s7.S7 in
1856, and S270 in 1892 Thus the fall
in the price Of sugar is mainly due tC
the fall il thesprice Of the foreign raw
material. Nor was the price of sugar
cents in 1892, as Mr.. Budges table
asserts It was as cents.
Now, this American refined sugar i:
sold on the Liverpool market cheaper
than it is sold in America. The price
Of American refined sugar in thi:
country between the years 1880 ant
1880 ranged from to 10 cents pound
In England the price Of American re
fined sugar was during these year!
from A to cents a pound. Thus die

PERMANENT HELP TO THE POOR.

There are many people eEing out a
scaEty living in this CITY, who might
deliver themselves from poverty and de-
.pendence on the benevolence of others,
if they could get out of the rut of that
kind of existence and move into other
fields. In country places at a distance
from this city there are, no doubt, open
.ings for people to earn their food and
clothing and accumulate something on
which to become measurably fndepend-
emit If they stay here they will prob
ably remain in their present unenviable
condition.
There seems to be a reluctance on the
part of many of them to stir from this
spot. 1t is a very foolish feeling. If
all had given way to 1t in times past,
there would have been no thrifty settle
ments for hundreds of miles in Utah,
and thousands who are now compare
lively wealthy would have groveled in
penury. That people would rather lin
ger in poverty in town than strive for a
good living in the country, is one of the
ifolnes and perversities of poor human
nature.
The notion that people must only
work in the particular trade or occupa-
ton to which they are accustomed, may
do very we'll for the old world, but it
is altogether out. of place in the new

There is one thing that may wei

each Presbytery shall choose its wisest

politics little thought that a time would
come when presbyteries would be di-
vided by strict party lines; when nom
nations should be fixed by caucus
as in our city primaries and a ticket
be carefully prepared beforehand,
from which should be weeded out the
name Of every man who had the
slightest leaning towards Independence
and could not be relied upon to vote
the straight ticket; and the said ticket
be printed on a ballot to be distributed
on election day. This may be a sure
way to carry an election; but it is
equally sure to do something else-to

The farmer must work today twice as

twice as much corn, wheat or wheat
flour as in 1853. If ne had a mortgage
in 1850 Of $1,000. and he has reduced it

Whether he hands his creditor corn or

FOR EVERY Utah DEMOCRAT.

The Democratic Central Committee
have issued call for a territorial con-
vention, which viii be found in this
issue Of The Herald The Executive
Committee OF the Democratic Society
have also called a convention of dele
gates from each Democratic Society and
lclub in the territory, which, too, we
publish today. Both are to meet on the
same day, June Is. the former at 10 a.
m. and the latter at p. M.
The several county organizations
should take immediate action with a
view to a full representation at the
convention, when territorial commit
tee will be chosen and measures will
be discussed as to a more perfect orga-
nization of the party, preparatory to
vigorous campaign before the No
vember election.
The purpose in view in calling this
convention before active work is inaug-
urated, is to give the new territorial
committee time to become familiar with
all the details of the work before item.
Two years ago the convention Vas held
in May. This time it is not called quite
so early, but ample tine viii be left
to prepare for the SINNERS work. after
the date set for the present conven-
ton.
The delegates from the several coun-
ties shoald come prepared to designate
who is wanted to represent their county
on the territorial committee, and to
give a fair idea of the situation and
prospects of the party, so that such
! proceedings may be had as will be nee
essary to meet the conditions existing.
lActive and intelligent men should be
chosen as delegates to this important
convention.
The necessity of Democratic clubs as
a means of disseminating correct pclit-
ical principles is apparent to all who
are familiar with the circumstances sur
grounding the people of Utah. The con
vention of those societies is of similar
IL not equal Importance TO the. regular
party convention called for the same
day.
! There should be determination and
readiness to conduct a vigorous cam
naign for the fall election. Every live
Democrat ought to hold himself ready
to aid in the good cause. There is no
reason why there should not be a re-
newal of the victory Of 1892. The prin-
tciples of Democracy are the same, the
Interests Of the people of Utah are with
the party n power, the experiences
and polit cal education of the
permanent citizens of this territory are
such that their natural place is in the
ranks OF the Democracy, and it only
requires the same kind of work as
was done in '92 to achieve another
signal triumph.
The good results of holding the con-
vention so early in that year were APP
parent in the excellent organization
effected and the splendid work per-
formed. We hope and expect TO see
similar results this year. If as much
willingness to work, and zeal in its
performance, and readiness TO help in
every needful way as were exhibited
then are manifested this year, we can
say to our friends that there is every
reason to expect magnificent victory
in November. Let every Democrat be
ready to do his duty.

cotton cloths in fifty years. But if you
take the years of the war, like Mr..
Bulge does for the first date, You could
show how protection brings down
prices; thus. sta6dard sheeting in 1864
was 52,07 cents per yard. and in 1890 it
was only cents. Protectionists always
quote figures in that way. carefully
