AMERICAN SHIPPING.


| The revival of American shipping is
a subject of national interest and ap-
peals to the national pride, The decline
of the shipping interests of this country
has long been a source of modification
and has lost to us millions of dollars a
year. The restorat ton of our mercan-
tile marine would be a great boon and
ought to be encouraged by every legiti-
mate means.
The protective policy of the last thir-
ty years has not accomplished anything
in this direction that can be pointed tc
with PRIDE even by the most boastful
Of apologists for Republican methods
Free trade in ships may strike some OF
them with horror, but it is evident that
the opposite policy has killed our ocean
carrying trade.
The New York Herald shows that un-
der the old protective" tariffs of Hen
~ Clay, enacted in 1925 and 1872. mod
crate as those tariffs were compared
with McKinley's, American shipping
made but little progress, and at times
dragged along heavily and YEARLY. But
under the Polk "free-trade tariff" in
force from 1916 to 1S57-a tariff which
imposed an average duty on imports OF
about twenty-three per cent. ad valo-
rem-our commercial marine grew rap
idly to gigantic proportions, more than
doubling its tonnage and rivalling that
of England on every ocean.
The New England historian, schou-
Ter, desert bling the effects of the low
tariff from 1886 to 1857, says:
This free trade tendency gave in the
first place a splendid impulse to Ameri-
can commerce. Our sails whitened the
lremotest seas. Our flag bore and
! brought back. Next agriculture pros
lpered. and it was most of all the pros
lpect of supplying the wide population
| of the British empire with American
food products, as well as with American
cotton, that caused the Polk tariff (ot
! 1916 to be enacted after Peel had
swung open the gates of British ports
linvitingly And had our manufactures
| been swamped by the interchange that
| followed? On the contrary. they grew
and prospered. for that best of all boun-
| ties was afforded them, raw materials
lundurdened by taxation and the widest
possible market with the universe.
The Fithian bill before Congress will
open up this subject for full discussion
and it is to be hoped that out of it
will come something practical which
will restore the old prestige of the
American marine, and aid in establish
ing that prosperity which will be i'm
peded as long as we are commercially
crippled by the present system.

tionally to deceive their hearers for
party ends.
Modern protection is next of kin to
socialism. The same kind of nuid runs
in their veins. They are twin political
heresies. Paternalism the parent Of
both. If the government may impose
high duties and pay out money in
bounties for the benefit of private per-
sons or corporations, or for the regu-
lation of the wages of workmen as
claimed for protectin, it may proceed to
still further interference with the re-
lations of employers and employees, and
go on to the very extreme of he no.
lions of socialism.
Modern protection is a reversal of
the old Democratic idea of a tariff for
revenue which incidentally affords pro
lection to infant industries, for it pro-
ceeds to make the supporting of pri-
vate industries the chief end in view
in imposing duties or imports, and the
raising of revenue as merely Incidental
to that purpose. It is a complete per-
version of the tariff laying powers of
the government.
In regard to the essential unity of
protection and socialism. Count Ca
YOUR in 1851 made these pertinent re-
marks which subsequent history in
Europe and the United States las jus
tilted:

ally of socialism. in its logical rela-

THE HOME MADE EXHIBITION

A great surprise was in store for
many hundreds of people at the Cont
mental market house on Saturday even
Ing. Few out OF the crowds of visitors
who swarmed into the building had
the least idea that there were so MANY
home industries in Utah. or that the
goods manufactured were of such ex-
cellent quality. The exhibition was an
eye-opener in more senses than one.
Astonishment made folks eyes dis
tend, and wonder was experienced at
the display.
1t was an excellent idea to make
that grand gathering of homemade
articles. 1t spoke much louder than a
thousand speeches, whether from lady
or gentlemen orators. Every specimen
was a convincing lecture on home pro-
ducts and home manufactures.
The collection showed what has been
done, and demonstrated to a great ex-
tent what can be done by home talent
and with Utah raw material" 1t
was also grand advertisement for all
who helped to make the display. It
was an invitation to consumers to pur-
chase homemade goods in preference
to the imported kinds.
1t must surely give additional impe-
tus to the home Industrial movement
and engage the attention and enlist
the sympathies of all who looked upon
the splendid array. We expect to, hear
Of an increase of interest in the good
work, and of encouragement to those
enterprising people who have engaged
in producing from the elements around
US here. the various weI-fnished arti-
cles offered for public inspection on
Saturday evening.
We had heard some DISPUTE as n
the advisability of the exhibition in
view of the intention of the D. A. and
M. society to hold a fair in the fan
There is no reason why this affair
should detract from that in the least
degree. And there is no reason why q
still better display and on a larger
scale shall not be had at the EXPOSE
ton building next October. This will
be preparation for that, and we be-
lieve it will be a help to make the
later exposition successful. We con-
graduate the promoters of this move
ment on the excellent results which
must accrue from Saturday evenings

Eternal Throne. In India, religion, has
triple aspect. 1t comprises cosmo-
logy, anthology. and ethics. Religion,
then. is not that something which sat
isles the emotional nature of man by
setting up for alteration some ideal of

ion is that rational demonstration of

lays down the rules of right conduct.
In its active aspect it reveals to the
heart of man the supremest ideal of
love and bliss-an ideal which it ever
strives to approach. Religion, by the
satisfaction of both these essential
parts of the nature of man, leads to
mental peace, spiritual exaltation,

A PUBLIC Loss.

The death of Wendell Benson was an
unexpected event, as sad as it was sud
den. True. he had been suffering from
a severe attack of typhoid fever, but
he was considered almost convalescent
and the general opinion of those who
knew OF his condition was that he had
made a good start on the road to re-
covery. The news of his decsase was a
shock to the public and occasioned uni
vessal regret.
He was young, vigorous and active
man and-in appearance. a stalwart. He
seemed capable of overcoming extra
ordinary attacks of disease, and no one
suspected that there was any inherent
weakness in his constitution. His gen.
eral ai1ability andpleasant. hearty man
ner endeared him to all with whom he
associated, and he impressed favorably
everybody VINO came into his presence
Wendell Benson's name is chiefly as
ISOLATED in the popular mind with the
Knutsford Hotel, because it was
through his enterprise and business
vim that the finest hotel in Utah was
erected. But he was engaged in many
Utah enterprises and had become fully
identified with the interests of this ter
ritory.
He was Democrat to the hearts
core. He was in the front on every
needfult occasion, and promoted the in
terests of the party with the hearty
good will which was natural to him. If
he had lived a few years longer he
would no doubt have occupied promi-
nent positions of public character, for
which he was eminently adapted and fol-
some of which he had already been
mentioned.
Salt La6e city has sustained a severe
loss in the taking off Of Wendell Ben
son. People Of all parties and pcrsua-
sions feel and recognize his. And The
Herald, in condoiing with the hereaved
and sorrowing with them in this great
misfortune, but feebly expresses the
sentiment Of the whole community. Icy

many financial authorities is also or
ought to be understood. And while we
consider those views mistaken. it is
a very poor way to combat them to
say that "he never as yet studied the
elementary principles governing the
subject" At present he is with the
majority. but it is to be hoped that be-
fore long the tide of public sentiment
will be overwhelming in the other di-
rection.
The vote on the silver purchase re-
peal bill and the refusal to complicate
it with free silver coinage provision,
was no fair test of the congressional
sentiment as to silver. An Independent
free coinage bill would provide such a
test, and Bland would do well to let
the country see where the representa-
tives of the people stand on the most
important issue of the times.

The Seattle Telegraph has a plan
whereby it thinks the federal govern
ment could undertake the reclamation
Of the arid lands. It says: "our sug-
gestion is that the arid lands should be
reclaimed by the United States govern
ment and the work paid FOR by the Is
sue Of scrip receivable at par in nay
ment for the land. The scrip would be
worth par wherever greenbacks are
worth par, that is, anywhere in North
America. If it were provided by law
that certain part Of the purchase
price of the land should be paid in irri-
CATION scrip. its redemption would be
speedy, and while it was in oirculat .on
it would be eagerly sought after by ner-
sons desiring 10 purchase the irrigated
lands. 1t seems to US that this is 4
perfectly feasible proposition. 1t would
mean the employment of thousands Of
people on the irrigation works. r.
would mean the addition of an enor-
nous and very valuable area to onr
farming lands. 1t would mean an mi
mediate stimulus 10 business of al
kinds And all this without the a6dt-
ton of one dollar to the public debt or
taxation for the scrip, though charge

Some Republican papers are predict
ing a big apostacy Of Democrats over
the silver issue. That would be great
folly. and there is no sense or reason
in such d course. AS the Anaconda
Standard says; Whatever lift free
coinage ever YET got IN Congress was
eignt-tenths Democratic. Silver has a
few friends among the Republican
members Of Congress; not many. The
bill just vetoed scored a hundred and
sixty votes in the House of Represent
tatives-less than twenty Of these was
the total Republican contribution. Two
weeks ago today, in the Senate, forty
four votes were cast for the bill. only
ten Of these We're Republican votes.
