NOT PARTISAN.

The income tax which is meeting
with much factious opposition. is
thought by some folks to be a Repub-
lican measure because it was adopted
in 1851 as a means for raising revenue
to carry on the war. One so-caned
independent" paper denounces it as
"a discarded measure of Republican
reconstruction" OF course that is in
correct, because even if the Republi-
can party adopted it there was moth
ing original IN its adoption at that
time. seeing that it had been success
fully levied and collected for many
years in England, where it still pre-
walls as an efficient means of raising
revenue
It was not a, party measure at all.
As evidences of this, it was a Demo-
crat who made the motion in the
House of Representatives when the
tariff bill was being considered in the
extra session of the Thirty-seventh
Congress to recommit the bill to the
committee on ways and means, with
instructions to report substitute re-
ducing the amount of direct taxation
by one-half, and increasing and ex-
tending the list of personal property
on which internal duties were laid in
order to make up the deficit"
That Democrat was our old friend,
General McClernand, late Utah Com
missioner, who cannot be justly ac-
cused of ever being a Republican or
endorsing Republican doctrines or
heresies. He was then Representa-
tive from the State of Illinois.
The income tax. expired ten years
later, not being collected after 1871.
but it had been several times amended.
The fact that it was adopted as a war
measure does not argue that it should
not be revived as a peace measure.
1t is tax that bears heaviest on those
citizens most able to meet it. and the
objections urged against it will apply
to almost every other form of taxa
ton. The great obstacle. in it's way
is the hostility it naturally encounters
from the capitalists. And they are
not confined by any means to one
political party.

Senator's It is the opportunities to
which many Democratic Senators have
yielded which provoke the criticism of
the country. But while every section
of it has some particular purpose to
serve and can influence the members
who represent it, we may look for just
such efforts as are now being made to
patch up the tariff
Utah has no occasion to throw stones
at any other part of the nation. She is
just as eager to have special interests
promoted, no matter how much that
may affect the other portions of the
United States, as are the most persis-
tent of the manufacturing pleaders for
protective duties.
From the changes that have been
agreed to, it may be reasonably in
ferred that the bill, when completed,
will contain slight advances on the
duties proposed in the House bill End a
considerable reduction of those in the
Mckinley law, with an enlargement of
the free list. This will not be as radi-
cal measure as anticipated 1t VIII
be step in the right direc-
ton and promise of better
things to come And it will
be an emphatic and unanswerable
refutation of the charge of tariff
smashing preferred by the Republicans,
and to the alleged fear of which they
have falsely attributed the trade and
labor troubles Of the times.
Senator Mills protest against the
Senate amendments will be endorsed
by large number of people of his own
party. He will not vote for them, but
he will vote for the bill containing
them, so he announces, if it proves to
be reduction of the infamous burdens
of the Mckinley law. That may APP
pear to some people trif1e inconsistent.
But it is all right, and shows that
the Senator from Texas is true to his
party and its platform.
Tariff reform was the slogan in the
campaign of 1892. If the reform attain
able is not so sweeping as he and many
others wished for, he and they will &C
cept what can be had with thankful
ness, and not throw away measure
of good because all that is desirable
cannot at once be obtained. The tariff
bill must be passed, and the greater
the reforms it contains the better will
the majority of the people be pleased.
A failure to accomplish what the party
is pledged to, cannot fail to be disas-
trous both to it and to the country.

THE AMENDED TARIFF BILL.

The patching and pottering with the
Wilson bill that have been attempted
in the Senate have given offense TO a
great many Democrats, and they are
not slow in condemning the action of
the tariff thinkers. In many instances
we notice that the fault which is being
found is scarcely justified 10y the facts.
The chief source of evil in this mat
ter is the clamor of each section of the
country, and each separate industry
to be considered before the general
welfare. Also the influence of the great
corporations and capitalists to promote
their particular interests. We do not
take much stock in the stories about
bribery in connection with this mat
ter. But it is very clear that many of
the Senators who are active in tariff
mending are actuated by desire to
stand well with their constituents, and
that personal ambitions, in some in
stances at least, weigh more in their
scales than the good of the country or
the pledges of their party.
But after all, with the changes and
amendments proposed, the bill is evil
IDENTIFY great Improvement upon the
present high protection law, and for
that reason we may reasonably
hope for its passage. Notwithstanding

lays that have occurred must not alto

Any reductions that shall be made
in the tariff laws will be for their
benefit and for the good of the great
body of consumers in the United States,
and can result in less profits only for
the capitalist classes, for whom pro-
lection has been increased and who
are able to donate large sums for cam
paign purposes and offer big brides to
Congressman. so that the rates of duty
on which they have fattened may be
retained.
Protection is a fruitful source OF
corruption, is fraudulent in principle
and partial in practice, and must be
cleaned out of our system of govern
ment as fast as consistent with the
general welfare, until there shall be
no tariff levied. but that which is
necessary for revenue to pay the ex-
penses of the government, administered
with prudence and economy.

THE STATEHOOD QUESTION.

The endeavors of our morning con-
temporary to harmcnize the fact that
the Utah bill is reported and placed
on the calendar, with the positive as
sertions of its utterly reliable Wash
ington correspondent and its own COM
ments thereon to the contrary, are
vastly amusing.
It has INDUCED in much sport over
the supposed determination of Senator
Faulkner to hold back the bill. declar-
ing he had ''pigeon-holed'' it for the
session, intimating that Utah office
holders were secretly working to keep
back the statehood movement, and ar
guing that the Republicans were urg-
ing it forward while the Democrats
We're dead against it. And now that
all that stuff is exposed as founda-
tionless and false, it is funny to see it
squirm and expostulate.
One day there was mo possible
chance" for the bill; Delegate Rawlins
was ''despaired that nothing would be
done;;" it was impossible for him to
secure any satisfaction from Senator
Faulkner" and Judge Judd was quoted
as defending 1.-The Democratic refusal
to admit Utah. The West Virginia
Senator was rather embarrassed
when questioned about the delay; he
had reversed himself on this ques-
ton" had betrayed the confidence of
those who trusted to his professions
of friendship" and a lot more of the
same kind of thing.
Next day, the wires having brought
word which knocked it all on the head,
our contemporary had to eat its own
words and by its awkward explanations
show that it was badly ratified and
could only express distrust of the re-
suit of something it had claimed would
not take place at all.
Well, the bill has been. read once and
is in a position to be called up when
ever there is a good opportunity to
pass it, though the tariff question will
probably overshadow it for time. We
will all be pleased to see it become a
law, and we can afford to laugh at the
position in which our party opponents
have placed themselves, by their efforts
to put wrong construction on the
acts of the Democratic officials at home
and the Democratic leaders in Wash
ington.
We are one more big step nearer
statehood, and we will probably enjoy
the boon of liberty as soon as we are
ready to assume the responsibilities and
expenses of self-government without
feeling burdened thereby. "Alrs well
that ends WE'LL

that citizens elect representatives to

The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd. Rep
reminds its Republican contemporaries
who think the election of 1896 is "aIl
over but the shouting" that if, in
1896, business should be active and
prosperous, capital satisfied and labor
contented, the chances of Democratic
victory would probably be as good as
those of the Republicans. The result
viii depend largely upon the conditions
of business two years hence, and, in
lesser degree, upon the character OF
the tickets put in the field by the
two great parties
