MORTON ON PROTECTION.


One of the most level-headed men of
affairs in this country is J. Sterling
Morton, Secretary of Agriculture, and
he is recognized as d man of brains by
people of both political parties. What
he says on public questions is entitled
to respect. We therefore commend the
following as good reading on the sub
ject of free trade and protection, pre-
missing that the term 'free trade" is
used not in it's literal but its conven-
tional meaning:
No statute has ever been proposed to
prevent the thoughts of a pauper COM
ing in competition with the cerebra-
tons of a millionaire and in the great
mental marts or the intellectual boards
of trade of the globe there is no pro-
lection to the thinking industry. The
doctrine of protection is avowedly to
cannot create demand. Even the
brainiest and most eminent advocates
of protective tariff do not assert that
it creates greater appetite for food or
lrger stomachic capabilities for diges-
ton and assimilation. And while
protection holds that a home
market is a paradise for the Amer
lean farmer, it fails to illuminate the
fact that the American farmer can
produce more under normal conditions
in single year than his countrymen
can consume in three years.
There are two classes of men who ad-
Vocate free trade. The first believe
in it and advocate it because they love
liberty. They believe in it and advo-
cate it because they think that every
man is entitled to use the legitimate
earnings of his own mind and person
10 the best advantage of himself and
family, and that to do this he should
be allowed to exchange his earnings
wherever he can get for them the most
of those things which he desires. The
second class of the advocates of COM
mercial freedom are among the later
recruits in the contest for liberty to
commerce. These individuals have
joined because they thought they saw
in the advocacy OF lower tariff taxes
and ultimate commercial freedom the
possibility Of political prominence and
position The first is made I'D Of the
protectees themselves. The second is
composed of those whom the protec-
tees bamboozle by PROSECUTING, per-
suasion, palaver and their peculiar and
sometimes pecuniary methods and
LUZ L IIdNC, Luz Il lOIlS time
carried the belief that the federal
power to tax was never intended to be
used except for public purposes
The constant endeavor of protection
lists is to impress the American people
with the fact that free trade is of Eng
l1sh origin, but they forget that in
June, 1887, at Philadelphia, the conven-
ton forming the Constitution of the
United States, determined that trade
between States of the American Union
should be forever absolutely free. This
idea OF liberty for commerce, like the
idea of liberty for conscience, which
originated with our Pilgrim Fathers,
can in conception, righteous in nrin-
ciple and equitable in operation.

coxEY's BILLS.

There has been much said about
Coxey's army but little understanding
is had about what Coxey wants. Here
are the two bills which he thinks he
can get Congress to enact within two
weeks:
This is the roads bill:
Section Be it enacted by the Sen
ate and House of Representatives in
Congress assembled That the secretary
of the treasAry of the United States
is hereby authorized and instructed to
have engraved and have printed imme-
diately after the passage of this bill
$500 600, 900 of treasury notes, a legal
tender for all debts, public and private.
said notes to be in denominations of 81,
50, S. and $40, and to be placed in a
fund to be known as the General
County Road Fund System of the Unit
ed States" and to be expended solely
for said purpose.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted,
that it shall be the duty of the secre-
tary of war to take charge of the con-
struction of the said general county
road system in the United States, and
said construction to commence as soon
as the secretary of the treasury shall
inform the secretary of war that the
said fund is available, which shall not
be later than .............; when it
shall be the duty of the secretary of
war to inaugurate the work and ex-
pend the sum of 20,OO0O 900 per month,
pro rata with the number of miles of
road in each state and territory in the
United States.
Sec 3. Be it further enacted, that all
labor other than that of the office of
secretary of war, whose compensa-
lions are already fixed by law" shall
be paid by the day, and that the rate
be not less than $3.50 per day for com
mon labor, and $3.50 per day for team
labor, and that eight hours per day
shall constitute a days labor under the
provisions of this bill
Following is the non-interest bearing
bond bill:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives in Congress
assembled: That whenever any state,
territory, county, township, municipal
lity, or Incorporated town or village
deem it necessary to make any public
improvements, they shall deposit with

ing, is pledged to a policy of bimetal-
lism. The repeal of the Sherman make
shift was demand of the country. It
was a plank in the platform of the
Democratic party, on which it was car
ried to victory in 1892. 1t was not in
tended to destroy silver, as some par
tisan papers have endeavored to per-
suade the public, but to clear the way
for a sound and stable silver policy.
That was believed to be impractical
BILE if not impossible except by inter
national agreement. Whatever some
pronounced silverites may think on this
question, and however correct they
may be in their opinion that the United
States can establish the free coinage of
silver. alone, without injury to its COM
mercial interests, that is not the view
of the majority in this or any other
leading nation. Neither the Democratic
nor the Republican party sees the mat
ter in that light But an International
agreement for the free coinage of sill
yer as well as gold at a fixed ratio be-
tween the two metals, would solve the
financial problem and cover the whole
ground of the present contention. Even
the strongest advocates of the restora-
ton of silver by the United States
alone, must concede that a general re-
sumption of free coinage by all the
commercial nations on mutual ar
rangement would be infinitely prefera-
bic.
1t is natural that the ardent advo-
Gates Of silver should want immediate
action. But we believe that the best
policy is not to push this matter in
haste. Let the call for a conference
come from abroad this time. Let the
influences now at work moving the ma
tons towards the silver point, operate
until the demand shall be of such a
character as to render probable a sat-
isfactory and permanent settlement of
the question, on a basis which will be
profitable not only to the silver pro-
ducing regions but to the whole coun-
try, in it's commercial relations with
the rest of the world.

We earnestly hope that the move
rnent in London, which is in harmony
with steps being taken in this country,
will be encouraged, and that the en-
dorsement of the distinguished Demo
Gratis and Republicans whose names ap-
pear in the cablegram to the Lord
Mayor. will be followed by the sup
port of influential statesmen and finan-
ciers in all the great nations of the
world The dark clouds which have
overspread the business sky really look
as though they had a silver lining.

We learn from the Ogden Sun that
measures have been taken for the en-
largement of that Democratic lumin-
airy, and its extended usefulness as an
exponent of true Democratic principles
and a supporter OF the interests of the
party in Ogden City and Weber county.
That shows good judgment on the part
of our friends at the junction City.
With the ability displayed on the
small paper which has thus far main
tanned its position in a town that is a
reritable cemetery of journalism, only
proper financial backing seems neces-
sary to make it permanent institu-
ton and a valuable adjunct of the
party Of the people. We hope soon to
greet the enlarged sun and to hear
tbet northern Utah is rejoicing in its
increased efrulgence.

Denver is sick of Populism after tax
ing only one dose, Both the great politf-
cal parties lay the blame of the depres-
sion Of business in Colorado upon its
fall into Populism. Each party can see
redemption nowhere but in its rescue of
the state from Populism. We think
Colorado ought to get out of the pit
into which it has fallen as soon as pos
sible, buc when the troubles of the
times are charged up TO the Populists,
that is just the same kind of demagog-
uery as in other places charges them
up to the Democracy. The outs al
ways charge up every disaster to the
ms and that is nothing but cheap
clap-trap.

rated town or village, and said bond

craving and printing same
The impracticable nature Of these
propositions will strike everybody who
has not been carried away with the
vagaries with which half-crazed enthus-
lasts have been matchmaking the ig-
norant. 1t is scarcely to be believed
that even the Populist members of Con-
gress would support the notions con-
tanned in these bills.
| Coxeyism is rag-money lunacy ram
pant. It's supporters imagine that all
the government has to do in finance is
to set printing presses in motion and
grind out dollars without limit. AS to
anything behind this printed paper to
give it real value, they do not seem to
indulge a thought The assumption by
the government of the construction and
control of country roads, thus absorb
ing or usurping the functions of the in
dividual states, is as unconstitutional in
principle as the financial foo1ishness is
wild and impossible in practice.
1t is lamentable that thousands of
men should be cavorting over the coun-
try, led by such a will O. the wisp as
this baseless scheme called Coxeyism.
1t is worse than a waste CT time. 1t
can result in nothing but disappointment
and trouble. If, however, it shall have
! the effect Of teaching the masses of the
people the lesson that the government
can not make money out of nothing, and
that the national government must not
encroach upon the rights and powers
of the several states, also that mobs
cannot overcome the law-making power
nor supersede the ballot in expressing
the popular will, some good may grow
out of the folly and tumult of Coxey-

An Australian venture in journalism
succeeds in causing the public to liter
ally devour the news. A confectioner
has issued a journal which contains the
news Of the day of issue, and is printed
on thin paste in place of paper and in
liquid chocolate instead of ink. After
reading the news the paper can be
eaten and the publisher might expect
that if the quality of the dough was all
right the paper would have a good re-
cepton. But if either the news or the
paste becomes stale or too highly or
lightly favored the public taste will
soon tire of such publication. Novel
ties are not possessed of staying quail

ENCOURAGING FOR SILVER.

The cablegram received by the Lord
Mayor of London in reference to the
bimetallic movement is, if genuine,
very significant of the progress of the
silver question. It shows that the re-
peal of the purchase provision of the
Sherman law was not intended to act
against silver but for its benefit.

strated, the Democratic party is a BIZ
metallic party. or more properly speak

TO REMOVE STAINS.
Paste This in Your Scrapbook, for i
Will BE Often Wanted.

Here are receipts for removing vari-
olis kinds of stains;
Coffee. Tea and Wines-lf these
stains on the table linen are of long
standing, and have been washed with
soap ii is rather difficult TO get rid of
them. But javelle water-which can
b. mad at home or bought of a drug
gist-- is generally most successful. Put
about half pint of javelle water and
a quar- of clean water into an earthen
bowl let the stained article soak In
this for several hours. Then rinse
thoroughly in three waters. 1t is only
white goods that can be treated In this
manner, as the javelle water bleaches
ont the color.
Sewing Machine Oil SHinsTo re-
move these stains rub the stain with
sweet oil or lard and let it stand for
several hours. Then wash it in soap
and cold water.
Pitch and Tar Stains Rub hard on
the stain and let it stand for few
hours Sponge with spirits of turpen-
tine until the stain is removed. II the
color OF the fabric be changed sponge
it with chloroform and the color will
be restored.
Ink Stains-Tear blotting paper in
pieces and hold the rough edge on the
ink when it is freshly spilled. or cover
the spot with Indian meal. or the
liquid ink may be absorbed by cotton
batting. If the ink he spilled on a
carpet, cut lemon in two, remove a
part of the rind and rub the lemon OH
the stain. If the ink stained article be
washed Immediately in several waters
