PRINCE Ii INDICATED.

A generation ago. China and Japan
were both semi-civilized nations con-
tented with their intellectual status
and apprehension of western innova-
lions. The men of Japan were wiser
than those of China, and it's rulers
more responsive to the appeals of the
party of progress.
The one nation searched for knowl-
edge the world over and with a readi-
ness without parallel in the history of
mankind wheeled into column in the
great onward march Of civilization.
The fruits of this remarkable wisdom
out the island kingdom, and have been
brought clearly to the attention Of an
admiring world in the war now raging.
Japan's unwieldy and unprogressive
neighbor, China, has not been without
its wise and far seeing men, but the
policy of conservatism has prevailed.
1t is to the everlasting credit of Prince
Ii, the grand old man of China, that
he has been able to look into the
future and there to behold the con-
ditions which now so unhappily af-

active agent, through whose instru-
mentality China has accomplished
what little has been done in the direc-
ton Of progress. and now. when the
Flowery Kingdom is in dire distress
brought about by the failure of his
Emperor to listen to his oft-sounded
notes of warning, it becomes his mel
ancholy task to arrange the details of
a peace in which his country is the
vanquished. He may have the mel
ancholy satisfaction, of little value,
however. to a patriot, that his policy
would have prevented that which his
diplomatic skill is now relied on to
alleviate.
China has the resources of a giant
among nations. This little affair with
Japan will be worth to her all it will
cost. Among the elements of Chinese
future greatness may be enumerated
the self-sacrificing. economical. pa
tient, hard working characteristics of
the people and the boundless resources
of the Empire. She will now arouse
herself from her lethargy and become,
by reason of her wealth and size, a
powerful nation whose vengeance may
well be feared by her now successful
rival

| mercenary view of the matter is tenn
| pered with the light of facts, perhaps
it will not have so sombre an appear
ance.
The grants of land which will &C
| crue to the state will in a very grea
| degree compensate the commonwealth
! for the extra expenses that will fal
upon it by reason of it's independence
| of Federal support. And the larger
field it will open to investment and
| increase of wealth. will very soon fal
outweigh the cost to the state in taxes
| to support the local government. The
expense argument is on a very low
plane anyhow, and ought not to weigh
feather in the scales against the
freedom it will purchase.
A more potent and subtle whisper
breathed into the ears of those who
are willing TO listen, is the church
influence" objection. That is to say,
if Utah achieves statehood, the domi-
nant church will exercise such sway
that danger will arise 10 republican
institutions. We look upon that as
having far less justification than the
expense humbug.
The political movements inaugurated
in this territory were predicated upon
the recognized fact that conditions had
changed. Old things have passed away.
The honest differences among the peo-
pie as to parties and political creeds
has been so marked as to be intense
and extreme. There can be no posi-
BILE doubt among just people who are
informed as to the situation, that
there is a genuine fidelity to party
ties and principles among the people
of Utah, that cannot be disturbed by
any such influence as that suggested.
That sincerity in politics thus far ex-
hibited should be encouraged, not
doubted.
The constitution now in process of
formation can and ought to be so
framed that the people will be en-
tirely free from all ecclesiastical dom
nation or undue influence. 1t can be
so constituted that no rational object
ion can be offered to it's provisions
We trust it will be so. No reasonable
excuse should be found in 1t for any
Democrat or Republican, Populist or
Independent to vote against it. If
there should be any opposition to it at
the polls, it should be without excuse
so far as the instrument itself is con-
cerned.
We are satisfied from what we know
of the people of Utah that the vast ma
jority of them want statehood, and
that they will be ready to vote for the
Constitution unless it contains some
radical improprieties which they can
not conscientiously support. These
must be guarded against carefully. If
they are, the opposition to statehood
will prove to be not only very small,
but entirely powerless to defeat the
work that has been commenced and so
far has progressed successfully.
From whatever quarter this secret
hostility may come we believe it will
tend to the injury of those who at
tempt it. Statehood is now a foregone
conclusion. Those who oppose it will
go to the wall as sure as they try it.
No matter who or what they are, they
are too late in the day for their work.
They had better go with the tide or it
will land them high and dry on an
isolated Ararat, or float them up Salt
River never to return. The fiat has

THE INCOME TAX UNIFORM.

There has been a great deal of I'M
necessary argument over the question
of class taxation in reference to the in
come tax. Senator Edmunds is con-
sidered to have made d poor argument
! against the constitutionality of the tax
One of his chief objections to it was
that in the income tax provision, Con
gress endeavored TO divide the upper
from the lower middle class. finan-
cially speaking. in the larger cities or
TO divide the middle class from the
wealthy in the same Districts
At first sight this looks to be a
pretty sharp point. But it is dulled
when run against existing differences
in general systems of taxation. 1t is
true that 'all duties, imports and ex-
cises must be uniform throughout the
United States" in order to be con-
stitutional. But the term uniform
has a different application to that
which some people wish it to bear,
and which Senator Edmunds tries to
attact TO it.
If a tax were imposed which would
require persons similarly situated to
pay taxes at different rates, it would
be open to the charge that it was not
uniform. A poll tax is considered a
strictly uniform tax. Yet persons
above or below a given age are ex-
empt. Internal revenue is derived
from taxes paid by certain classes of
the community. Property holders pay
taxes which non-property holders are
not required to pay. If the tax is
uniform as to the taxpaying class, it
lis uniform in the meaning of the law.
Taxing incomes of $4,000 a year and
upward is a, uniform tax, II two per
cent is the demand on all persons hav-
ing such an income. And the exemp-
ton of the people whose income falls
below that amount, does not affect the
uniformity Of the tax upon all whose
incomes are above the line of the law.
In one sense of the term, class taxa
ton is common in every civilized
country. That is to say, there are
classes which have to pay certain taxes
and others that do not. In the abso-
lutte sense uniformity or equality OF
taxation, that is, the same application
to and requirement of every individual.
is an utter impossibility. Division of
a community into classes for the pur-
poses of taxation which is uniform as
to each class, is recognized everywhere
as one of the legitimate powers of
government.
The cry that this will make class
distinctions, which are discordant with
Republican principles, is misleading
The requirement that only men be-
tween the ages of 81 and As shall serve
in the militia. or work out or pay a
poll tax, makes no such class distinc-
ton as that objected to. And the in
come tax exemption is no more a class
distinction than either of the others.
Opponents of the income tax will
have to find some other grounds on
which to fight it, than those that are
urged by organs of the wealthy classes
who are the best able to- bear the
burdens Of the expense of government.
and who usually escape from con-
tributing their just proportion guaged
by their ability to pya. The income
tax is a just impost and ought to be
cheerfully paid by the people upon
whom it is 70 be levied, and who are
abundantly able to do so without pri-
walton and without distress.

of a conference so far as England is
I concerned2"
should be called to settle the details of
an international monetary agreement the
main principles of which should have
been agreed upon before. The chancellor
of the exchequer says that ne will be no
party to altering the currency of this
country, but England can do much to-
ward an international bimetallic agree
ment, and her people can still maintain
the barbaric custom of carrying golden
| soyereignS in their trousers pockets. If
England would open the minis of India to
| consent to put into use the powers which
she already possesses by act of keeping
one-ffth of her reserve in silver. she
would do perhaps as much as any other
nation toward reha bilitating silver, and
could do it at once, and without infring-
ing upon any of the conditions laid down
by the chancellor of the exchequer. India
absorbs silver as the sand absorbs water;
the open minis of India did as much for
silver as the bimetallic ratio of the Latin
Union. If France. Germany and the
United States could agree upon some
basis on which 10 reopen their minis TO
silver, and upon which England would
agree to reopen the minis of India and
keep one-fifth of her reserves in silver,
bimetallism would be established all the
world over on an absolutely secure basis,
and an arrangement could be specify
arrived at without in any way affecting
the prejudices. and ignorances OF the
British people"
Has not this proposition, or one similar
TO it, been made before?'
1T is a most remarkable fact, and one
to which sufficient attention has not been
called, that Mr.. Gladstone's government
in 1851 made very similar proposal, and
offered, if the minis of the Latin Union
were reopened to silver, TO keep one-fifth
of the bank reserves of the Bank of Eng
land in silver which can be done by law
at the present moment. Surely we have
here the basis of al equitable arrange
ment. Personally | would much rather
see England become frankly and openly
bimetallic, with absolutely free coinage of
gold and silver at the international ratio:
hut recognizing the obstinacy of the Eng

and the frightful consequences which will
follow from delay. I believe that If Eng
