to Republican tariff:

cause it is a Republican admission as
to a Republican tariff:
II allude to the wool tariff, law the
effect of which has been materially to
Iinjure the sheep husbandry of the
country. AS the law now is the tariff
upon fine woods of a. character not pro-
duced in this country is 100 per cent.
on their cost. Before the tariff of 1867
our manufacturers of fine goods mixed
foreign fine woods with our domestic
product and were thus able to compete
successfully with the foreign manu-
facturers of similar goods. But, being
prohibited from importing this class of
woods, these fine woods cannot be pro-
duced in this country as cheaply as
they can be imported Consequently
mills that were formerly engaged in
producing these goods have been COM
PEELED to abandon business or manu-
facture the coarser fabrics. If they
could afford to manufacture these fine
goods, they would make a market we
do not now have, for our fine woods to
be mixed with other fine woods of a
different character from abroad The
want of market, as l understand it,
is the reason why our fine woods now
command SO low price"

A Republican paper has the hardi-
hood, in a labored attempt to show
the beauty of bounties, to try to make
it appear that:
ut was found that after re-
ceiving the bounties The home
factories could sell their sugar as
much cheaper than the imported sugar
as the freight between San Francisco
or Chicago ard this city amounted to,
and that the real fact was that the
people who paid the $4,000 got more
money back by the reduction in the
price of sugar than the bounty
amounted to-
If the Utah-made sugar was ever
sold at less price than the imported
sugar in this market the buyers here
were not aware of it The statement
is all of a piece with the receptions
usually practiced to justify the rob-
berry of the taxpayers involved in all
such bounties. The people, who paid
out $4,000 instead of $4,000, did not
get a cent of it back in a decreased
price of sugar. The manufacturers
met the regular market. If sugar went
up they rose to the occasion. We find
no fault with this. We are not at
lacking the sugar people. We are
merely refuting fragrant falsehood.
The people of Utah who paid the
bounty for the manufacture of sugar
paid the same price for it when they
bought it as did the people of Idaho
and Wyoming who paid no bounty.
So far as the price was concerned the
people of Utah received no returns
whatever. We do not say the factory
has not been a benefit to the territory.
We have given it full credit for the
good it has accomplished, not only to
the beet growers, but to the whole
community. But the same may be said
of other industries in proportion to
their extent and their employment of
home labor or materials. Some of
them have reduced the price of their
products to the consumer and yet have
received no bounty. If every industry
that becomes indirectly a public bene-
fit should be supported by taxation
where would be the limit to that taxa
ton? And if one concern should be
so supported why not others? And
what would be the profit to the COM
munity, even if it received back a por-
ton Of the proceeds, in taking money
out of one of it's pockets and putting
it into another?
The only safe guide in these matters
is to put public money solely to public
uses. Whatever plausible excuses may
be offered to deviate from this rule, it
will be found on examination that they
are fallacious in principle and danger
Gus to the public welfare, The foster
ing of infant industries out of the pub
lie bin means bigger supplies as the
infant grows older. Protected con-
Germs. whether by tariffs or bounties,
are like the horseleech ever crying
more" But whatever specious argu-
ments may be advanced to the con-
trary of this proposition it will be
found that resort to falsehood, as in
this sugar question, will never help
the bounty cause.

THE AssAssIN.s KNIFE.

Once again has the knife of the as
sassin been used to strike down a man
in high place. Once again has the
whole world cause to mourn over the
actions of an anarchist in Paris.
AT 9 o'clock last night. Marie Fran
co.'s Sadi-Carnot. President of the
French republic, received wound
near the heart that proved fatal
short time afterwards
The president, who was thus struck
down, was born in Limboges in 1897.
He received his education at the Poly
technic school and the School of
Bridges. After his graduation, he held
minor offices until 1876, when he was
elected to the chamber of deputies
from Beaune, and became its secre-
tary
In 1878. he was appointed under
secretary of public works. and in 1882,
minister of finance. He held this posi-
ton until 1886, when he was made
president of the French republic, sue
ceeding Jules Grevy.
His term of office would have ex-
pired on December 4th next.
There was scarcely a probability of
his reelection, owing mainly to the
reflections that were cast upon his
name. growing out of the great
Panama canal scandal. although it is
generally admitted that the accusations
against him were unjust.
Brilliant in oratory, magnetic in per-
son, NJ. Carnot had the faculty of
calming agitation and reconciling
diverse and hostile elements such as
is possessed by few men.
Americans, especially, will be grieved
ait the tragic end of NJ Carnot, and
for more than one reason. The deed
lis blow at republican institutions,
and as such cannot but be received
with the deepest regret.
The taking off of the president, how
ever, will not, it is believed, hinder the
spread and growth of republican ideas
in France.
Unlike others of his ilk, the assassin
of Carnot refuses to assign any reason
for his awful deed; but it is evident
that he had had the matter in mind
for some time, as he arrived at Lyons
but few moments before his steel
sought the heart of the president.

THE WOOL QUESTION.

Wool men who read and think are
getting the dust out of their eyes,
thrown there by Republican high tariff
sophistry. They are becoming con-
WINGED that it is folly to say high
duty on wool raises the price of the
domestic article. The facts and figures
of the wool market are dead against it.
Not only is wool selling in Utah for
seven cents a pound, while the duty on
foreign wool is eleven cents a pound,
but home wool has always been lower
as the tariff was made higher.
Here is the argument used by Sen
ator Allison some time ago, when he
wanted to take a different position to
that his party now occupies in relation
to the tariff. 1t has been published be-
fore, but it will do to print again, be-

Our Titan sculptor's fine work still

is proposed to revive subscriptions for

SGudlOI quay says lHdt ne HdS sPCOu-
lated in sugar and that he has a right
to do it.
Senator Quay is not a man to whom
one would look for nice moral distinc-
tions, but in this case he displays an
obtuseness even greater than was sus-
pected of him.
If Senator Quay cannot see the differ
ence between the act of public official
and that of a private citizen, in such
a matter as this, he is the only one
who is blind to it. What Matthew
Quay may do in Wall street is of no
consequence to anyone but himself; but
what Senator Quay does in Wall street
with sugar trust certificates while the
sugar schedules are before the Senate
concerns the honor of the peoples gov
eminent and the morals of the coun-
try.-Boston Post s(Dem)
No, one would not look to Senator
Quay for nice moral distinctions I'M
less one had lost all sense of such
distinctions. Public officials not only
should be above suspicion, but they
should jealousy maintain the appear
ance of being above suspicion.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The San Francisco Examiner Dem.)
says, concerning the Republican plat
form adopted at Sacramento:
The California Republican platform
breaks the record in the matter of
length. 1t contains thirty planks, ag-
gregating about 1000 words which
makes it approximately as long as the
constitution of the United States. The
motto of its trainers appears to have
been: eff you don't see what you
want, ask for it, 1t is almost as com
prehensive as the Populist platform,
and it is only fair to say that in a num-
Der of instances it abandons the am
biguity common to such documents and
speaks right out in meeting. Whether
this frankness be prudent or not will
be disclosed in the progress of the cam
paign.
Long platforms are liable to be like
long bills of fare in cheap restaurants
the same stale thing served under
many names.

The Washington Post Qnd.) speaking
of Missn11ri's good credit saws.

|of Missouri's good credit. says:
The reputation of Missouri as a
silver state" with a free-coinage adj
vocate in its executive chair and a free
coinage delegation in Congress. includ-
ing the most conspicuous leader of the
free-coinage cause does not appear to
have hurt the credit of the state in the
least. Mr. Stephens, the state treas
urer, is promptly paying off the public
indebtedness as it natures, and an
nounces that after the July bonds are
paid he will have money enough left to
turn about $S0O,0O00 into the school
fund. This looks as though the tax
payers of Missouri were standing well
up to their obligations, notwithstanding
their financial heresies.
Is it not rather a financial heresy to
condemn silver as money metal? At
any rate the promptness with which
the good people of Missouri meet their
obligations proves that a free-silver
advocate is not socialist, a robber or
a repudiator.

Commenting on Colonel Conger's de-
nunciation of the Mckinley bill, the
New York Times Oen.) says:
For Democrats; as we pointed out
yesterday, this Republican revolt
against McKinleyism has startling
significance. 1t means that they are
actually in danger of losing the only
position from which they can hope to
make a successful fight in future con-
gressional and presidential elections,
and that their opponents threaten by
boldly appropriating it to their own
use to rob them of the only issue on
which the Democratic party can appeal
to the voters of the United States with
any prospect of majorities and tri-
umphs. With the issue of tariff reform
and lower duties taken from them on
what issues could the Democrats go
before the country? Currency? Free
coinage? The income tax? The Ocala
platform of the Populists?
There must be no going back on the
true Democratic doctrine of tariff for
revenue only. 1t was the issue on which
the party won in 1892 To surrender
that issue would be to forfeit the con-
fidence Of the people.

In THE specious arguments Of the tar
iff-smashers two years ago 1T was main
tanned that these. classes of working
men were not protected by the McKin-
ley tariff. and that they were in no
wise indebted to 1T for the steady en-
ployment and the high wages they re-
ceived. The mason. the painter, the
carpenter the tin and sheeiS iron work
er, and so ON, were told that the tariff
in no way concerned them. The labor,
it was maintained, was net protected
by it, but, on the contrary, it was
robbing them by the amount of the in
creased duties ON imported goods.
BY this time they must see the fall

from Colonel Conger, of Ohio, repudi-
ating the Mckinley tariff and declaring
that the Republican party will advance
to a reduced standard of tariff duties
