First View: That taxation can have
but one legitimate and constitutional
object, namely. to provide for the ne
cessities of government economically
administered.
Second view: That taxes may be i'm
posed not only to provide for the ne
cessities Of government, but also to pro-
mote the general welfare" of the
country.
The limit of taxation under the first
view is necessarily low; under the sec
ond it is confiscation. The one secures
to every man the privilege Of using all
his means as he may deem best, except
such as will be necessary to protect him
in life. liberty and property; the other
compels him TO donate a part of his
property or income to enrich some other
man or men. The one secures to every
man the freedom of buying or selling
where and of or to whom he chooses,
without restraint; the other compels
him to buy of individuals favored of
the law. or suffer loss. The one rem
ders impossible the looting of the mi
nority by the majority on the plea of
the public good; the latter renders it
possible for any scheme, however
vicious. designed to aggrandize one
class at the expense of the other, to be
enacted into law at the volition of the
majority. One prevents trusts by
making competition world wide; the
other fosters them by limiting compe-
tition. One secures constant prosperity
by placing trade on a national basis;
the other promotes booms and "slumps"
by 'monkeying'' with the complicated
and incomprehensible laws Of trade.
One secures more honest government,
the other engenders political corruption
by making class legislation the result
of success. One strengthens govern
ment by making its foundation rest
upon the love of all the people; the
other weakens it by alternating the class
preyed upon from their more successful
fellow citizens One claims that indi-
viduals can handle their means to the
greater advantage of themselves and
therefore of the community than the
government can or will; the other that
the government knows better what
man wants than he knows himself.
The first holds that greater prosper
ity is secured by allowing capital to
find its way into investments. than by
forcing it this way or that by act of
Congress; the other that the greater
prosperity is secured by wrestling the
property of the individual from him and
diverting it into other channels and
spending it upon needless public in
provements.
Any man who works for a wage. or
who has property or ever expects to
acquire any, or who wishes to become
or remain prosperous, so far as pros
perity can be secured by governmental
aid, or who is interested in the per-
petuity of free government, should
throw the weight of his influence in
favor of the supremacy of the first
view. The latter view is noxious doc !
trine infected with the bacteria of So
cialism, which unless checked and dis
couraged by the prompt good sense of
the people, will yet wreck this /
nation. The first is the Democratic view
Of government; the latter the Repub-
lican.

THE DELEGATE AND THE UrEs.

The Durango Democrat is rather spite
full over the failure of the scheme to
remove the Colorado Utes into this ter
ritory, and has number of small filings
lat Delegate Rawlins because of his
success in blocking the game of the
spectators. Here is one of it's little
darts:
THE American Asphalt company. of
Denver, claim to control 900 acres
of asphalt or elaterite. formerly owned
by the Uintah Indians in Utah, a part
of the confederate Ute tribes Will
Representative Rawlins and the Indian
Rights Association explain how the deal
was made?"
Why should Mr.. Rawlins be called
upon for an explanation of the dealings
of a Colorado company? And what has
that to do with the question of the Ute
removal" The asphaltum lands are in
Uintah county, Utah, and probably the
claim of the company was acquired by
arrangement with the Indians there
But that has nothing to do with the
Colorado Ute question, and nothing to
do with the Utah Delegate.
AS to the impotent and vile insinua-
ton about the assertion of Phil Thomp-
son concerning the morality of Con-
gressmen, the Durango editor is as
wide of the mark as are the "pious
danes of Boston," and their notions of
Utah influences. We do not know that
the Delegate from Utah has posed as
a special champion of virtue and mo-
rality,' but we are willing to compare
his course and character with those of
any puritan from Boston or Congress
man from Colorado.
Here is one more paragraph from that
paper:
The House committee vote on the
Ute treaty looks bad and establishes
beyond doubt the fact that Representa-
tive Rawlins has succeeded in creating
the belief that Utah will reject Demo-
cracy and strengthen the opposition in
the Senate if admission is preceded by
OF Southern Utes to that ter
ritory, The vote shows the Republicans
almost solid for removal and the Demo-
Gratis against"
Why the fact that the Republicans
voted for the Ute removal and the
Democrats voted against it goes to show
that Utah will reject Democracy, and
that Delegate Rawlins has succeeded
in creating that belief" is something
that would puzzle even the Durango
Democrat to explain. Mr.. Rawilns does
not believe Utah will reject Democracy.
And if the Democrats in the committee
voted against the removal and the Re-
publicans for it, that is one more reason
added to many why Utah should hold
on to the Democracy and reject Repub-
icanism. for there is no one in this
territory who wants the Colorado Utes
dumped into Utah
1t was very cute little scheme on
the part OF those Colorado SPECTATORS.
and they thought that with such strong
packing as two Senator's and Repre-
sentative. with only one Delegate who
has no vote to meet, they would have

gate is a rustler as we'll as a Democrat

THE REPUBLICANS AND SILVER.

The silver question is something thai
largely affects the people of Utah and
this whole inter-mountain region. The
decline of the silver producing industry
! is undoubtedly due to the legislation
which has removed silver from its DO
sition side by side with gold as a money
metal. If free coinage was restored
there is no doubt that the former mar
ket value of silver would obtain.
Whether that would be for the benefit
of the whole country is still an open
question, however positive we of the
west may be on our side of the dis
pute. We say yes, but there are mil
lions who emphaticany say no.
The masses of men who are moving
from the west toward Washington de-
mand more money for the country. We
presume most of them want free silver,
though perhaps hosts of them do not
know the reason why. only they think
that if more silver is coined or more
money issued by some means not clearly
defined, they would get their share -
The mischief in this is that they have
been impressed with the false idea that
Cleveland and the Democratic party are
responsible for the decentralization of
silver and that the Republicans are the
friends of the white metal
1t should be the diligent work of
Democrats everywhere to dissipate this
error. 1t is being used by Republicans.
To hear many of them denounce the
Democracy and invite people to turn
to the Republicans for relief on the
financial question, one not posted might
he led to believe that the Republican
party was the only friend silver had
in the country and the Democratic
party was it's deadly enemy.
Now we do not intend to take up the
question of Democratic action as to the
Sherman law and the seigniorage mat
ter, nor apologize for Cleveland's posi-
ton as to silver, which is little, if any.
different from Harrison's, but certainly
no worse. What we wish to call atten-
ton to is the fact that whatever may
be said as to the course of the Demo
cratic party in reference to silver, turn
ing TO the Republican party would be
jumping out of warm frying pan into
a very hot fire. Following is the Re-
publican record on the silver question:
The decentralization of silver in 1873.
The defeat of coinage bill in 1875.
The defeat of a free coinage bill in
1878, and the substitution of the silver
purchasing act known as the Bland
Allison act. And now for figures as
shown by the Congressional Record:
In the House June Is, 1886. Republi-
cans for silver, %; aginst silver, 1870.
In the House, April s, 1883, Republi-
cans for silver. 80; against silver, SO.

Referring to Senator Alison's oppo-
sition TO free wool and the proposed re-
duction in the duties on woollen goods,
the Savannah News Oem.) says:
why is it that Congressman are not
sincere in dealing with great public
questions? Senator Allison knows that
his constituents favor duties that will
enable them to buy clothing at lower
prices, and unless his views have I'M
dergone a great change in recent years
he is also in favor of such duties. He
upholds the high protective system of
his party, however, and ne does so be-
cause he lacks the courage o. his con-
victjons."
