any mans opinion is or mas been on
this question. It resolves. itself into a
matter of simple fact Either the au-
thority is in the Constitution or it is
not. If it is there, quote it If it is not
there, don't claim that it is nor jeer
those who state patent fact.
The fundamental political truth is that
public funds are for public uses only
That is Democratic doctrine A tariff
may be imposed upon imports if the
purpose in levying 1t is to raise revenue
for the expenses of the government, to
pay the debts of the United States and
other public purposes. When a tariff
is imposed for the purpose of establish
ing or enriching a private enterprise,
that is tariff for protection and is
unconstitutional; because no power is
conferred upon Congress in the Consti-
for any such purpose.
| AS to the effects which a tariff may
produce, that is another question. 1t
is the purpose of the tariff which is I'M
der consideration. The purpose of
those Democrats in an early day who
desired American manufactures to be
prompted, when they agreed to a mod
crate tariff on certain imports, was to
raise revenue for governmental ex-
penses. That made the levy legitimate
The effects upon those native manufac-
lures which might incidentally accrue
did not change the purpose which was
strictly kept in view. The tariff they
favored was a revenue tariff
A tariff for revenue only is the tariff
OF the Constitution; the Democratic
party is eminently the party of the
Constitution strictly construed. A tariff
for protection has no warrant in the
language of the Constitution. The
former has limit, the latter none.
one is safe, the other dangerous. The
first is solely for public uses, the second
for private purposes. Therefore the
people Of the United States should sup
port the Democratic party or amend
the Constitution as to the tariff. They
are not likely to extend the power OF
leVying taxes and duties, and so they
should maintain in authority men who
Will go no further in that direction
than the Constitution authorizes. The
Democratic party will stand by the
Constitution.

planning some questionable transac-
tons.
We learn from good authority that it
is understood in Washington that it
was the intention of the company to
lease the lands and have the lease con-
f1rmed in the bill, and to that end a
great deal of the stock was distributed
gratis around the Capitol. Also that it
is not denied by the Senator, who was
too honest to be bribed, that a good
sized chunk was given to the clerk of
the House Committee on Indian Affairs.
Senator Gordons son is openly charged
and believed to be shareholder, while
others are suspected.
1t was learned by the gentlemen in
terested in the case, however, that a
certain attorney who had not brains
enough to be polite, had approached
Mr.. Rawins and after trying to get
that gentleman's consent had openly
threatened that if opposition to the
scheme developed on his part, he would
meet with counter force from Senators
and Representatives who could be con-
trolled. OF course with this evidence
out the company could not very well
hold any Senators very closely, and
Gordon came to a realization that what
he wanted was impra cticable.
After that, however, the correspon-
dents began to say that not to be
baked, the company intended to await
the opening ofthe lands and on the ap-
pointed day have fifty well mounted
men, with horses to outstrip anything
| that would compete, at the border.
These men We're to ride on and secure
all the land and sell out to the COM

led to the insertion of the twenty acre
provision.
The Utah Delegate kept posted on
every movement in relation to the mat
ter and made his calcula tons accord

THE LAND SOON TO BE SETTLED.

The magnificent tract of land which
will be thrown open to settlement in
the eastern part of Utah. will give an
opportunity for the establishment of a
great many permanent homes, will add
greatly to the agricultural and mineral
wealth of the state, and will also large
Iy increase its population. 1t is reported
that many persons in the East are an
| ticipating the chance that will be af-
forded by the opening, to acquire land
and they are eagerly awaiting the time
when they can make a dash for it.
The passage of the BILL unencumbered
by the strings which spectators
intended to attach to it, but regulated
by conditions favorab BILE to the public
interest, is due to the vigilance and
determination of Delegate Rawlins;
wonderfully successful work in the Con-
gress of the United States.
The land to be thrown open for set
tlement, az many people are aware,
comprises the Uintah and Uncomphagre
Indian reservations. The former con-
tains about 100000 acres, the
latter 1,933440 acres. The In
dams, numbering not over 1000.
will receive for each head of a
family 800 acres and 100 acres for other
members of the family. Besides the
splendid grazing and timber lands and
the asphaltum and precious mineral de-
posits, there are large areas Of excellent
tillable land left, and an abundance of
good water. 1t will be one of the finest
portions of the State of Utah for farm
erS and stockraisers.
The putting of the asphaltum lands
on the market under the mining laws of
the United States. without charging $50
per acre. and the provision that no in
dividual shall enter more than twenty
acres, are so plainly directed against
monopoly of the lands that it could not
help being distasteful to the company
that desired to gobble them. 1t had
secured the good services of Sena tor
Gordon, until that influential parsonage
was made to realize that persistence
in his demands for favoring the monop-
oily would put on him the duty Of ex-

CAMPAIGN WORK.

The Republicans are already in the
| field and working hard. In this respect
! they have set the Democrats a good
example and one that should be fol-
lowed and followed Immediately. The
various committees of the Democratic
party have no time to lose. The con-
vention to nominate a Delegate to Con-
gress should be called for not later
than September 49, and that date is not
/ far off. But the campaign should be
going on now. There is always much
preliminary work that has to be done
and that should be done now. The Re-
lpublicans have their skirmishers out
all over the territory and the Demo-
Gratis should have theirs.
| 1t is popularity complained that the
committees have not been as prompt in
this matter as could be desired. In
many precincts committees have not
been organized. This should nave been
done long ago. and to delay this matter
lis to lose opportunity.
The fall campaign is going to be a
hard one, and only work and energy
will win it. The people must be gone
to apd the issues presented to them
clearly and forcibly The Republicans
even now are actively propagating their
doctrines and artfully using all the
lsophistry of which they are masters
Many Democratic strongholds have
been visited by Republican speakers,
but no Democratic speakers have been
there. This is not as it should be- The

plans is to court defeat
