gruntled Democrats; isn't it clear to-
day that the Democracy would have
been triumphant, and the Republican
party would have been killed?
The Democrats were very much
angered at President Smiths remarks
at that priesthood meeting, and the
Republicans We're very greatly elated
over them. We refer to the two par
ties throughout the territory. Demo-
Gratis believed that those remarks in
jured their chances of success, while
Republicans believed that it enhanced
theirs.
Let US change the positions of the
two parties. Had something been said
that injured the chances of the Re
pubhoans and enhanced those of the
Democrats, would the Tribune have
been SO fast to say there was no
church interference, that it was all a
simple question of two churchmen dis
obeying church rules, and that ut had
nothing to do with their political action
and was not so intended? We fancy
not
Occasionally some Republican is
willing to view the case as it actually
is and to look upon President Smith
remarks as the Democrats did. We
talked with one such a day or SO ago.
He looked upon the fight the Democrats
were making in this case as being a
fight against church interference in
politics. He said: "If we had been
hit. or thought we had been hit, as
the Democrats think they have, we
should have been just as mad as they
and have fought this church interfer-
enee just as hard"
That is exactly what they would
have done. and no one would have been
hurting so many or such horrible
anathemas as the Tribune. And the
Righteousness of the Republican
party would have been turned into
bitterness, and its blessings to curs-
ings.
At present the righteous Republican
party, swearing there has been no
church interference, is rejoicing be-
cause the Democrats have been hit
through church interference.

CHURCH AND STATE.

The morning apologist for the inter
ference of ecclesiasts in politics, asks
whether there was at the convention
any proposition to disband The Demo-
cratic party as was threatened a week
ago" The answer is yes, there was
such a proposition, and it was sat
down upon so emphatically that it was
completely and finally flattened out
The supporters of the proposition were
given full liberty to advocate their
motion, and the answers given to it
were so convincing and complete that
nothing was left of it. If its support
ers want aid and comfort, they will
have TO go for it to those Republicans
who would like to see statehood de-
feated, including the entire Tribune
outfit
| The same paper asks What is there
new in the cry of mo union of church
and state?" Nothing. Nor is there any
thing new in the cry of "a tariff for
| revenue or of 1.-The robbery and I'M
constdtutionality of bounties." But
! there are new occasions for its repeti-
ton and one Of them was of very re-
cent occurrence. What is there new
! in the Monroe doctrine? Yet it has
lately been asserted with new vehem-
ence. The Tribune offers a new illus
tration of the adage ANY fool can ask
| questions"
But that paper says at has only
been of late that the Democrats
adopted it but it was in the Republi-
can platform four years ago" When
that paper gets down TO relating al
legged facts, the saying More knave
than fool is called to mind The
Democrats enunoiated the doctrine of
no union of church and state long be-
fore the Republican party was born.
1t was formulated by Thomas Jeffer-
son, and has been cardinal doctrine
of the party ever since his day.
Locally it has been promulged by the
Democratic party from the inception
of the division movement, and its new
declaration was rendered necessary by
new developments of an old grievance.
1t is a rallying cry and the fact that
it is unpleasant to Republicans shows
how needful it was to re-echo it until
it shall reverberate from every noun
tain and sound through every valley in
our coming state. There shall be no
union of church and state, nor shall
the church dominate the state or inter-
fere with its functions" On that con
stitutional provision the Democratic
party will fight its battle and support
statehood for Utah.

EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES.

For some time Republican papers.
here and elsewhere, have endeavored
to make it appear that exports of
American goods have fallen off since
the passage of the Democratic tariff
bill. Yet it is we'll known that new
lines of exports have been made under
that law and that American manufac-
lures have invaded the markets of the
old world and undersold their goods
in their own principal marts of trade.
The following is clipped from the
United States Investor, published in
Boston, New York and Philadelphia as
the Promoter of American Indus
tries" 1t says:
The fact that the exports of manu-
featured goods from the United States
are steadily increasing and already
show an increase of 81, 000,0 in the
first eight month Of 1896 over the cor
responding months of last year is one
of the most encouraging features Of
our economic situation. The total eX-
ports of this character for eight
months have been $129, 44O, S64, and at
the present rate of increase will reach
$195, 100000 for the calendar year. This
is larger by about $12 O0O,0 than any
previous record and is S37 0O0, 600 larger
than the two prosperous years 1892 and
1898. The significant feature of the
figures, however, for American manu-
facturers is found in the character of
the increased exports rather than in
their mere aggregate. The striking in
creases are in such articles as rail-
way cars, locomotives. machinery, cleo
trical and scientific apparatus, fire.
arms, sewing machines and builders
hardware, the classes of articles IN
which our skill and ingenuity have
easily made US foremost. The condl-
tons under which staple articles are
produced, and the prices at which they
can be sold, are pretty rigidly fixed by
economic laws, and the fortunes of the
future will go to those who invent nov
elites and anticipate the popular de-
mand for the finest work before COM
petitors can crowd the field.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-10-24
THE TRIBUNE AND THE cHuR cH

A short, double loaded note in the
Tribune yesterday made a denial of
some remarks by Judge Judd in the
Democratic convention. The statement
also added that
There has been no contract, c. c.
Goodwin has never talked five minutes
to Frank J. Cannon or any other Nor
mon on the subject of the senatorship;
he has never written one word or re-
Trained from writing one word on &C
count of any political Office or ambi-
ton
That is not all Of the sentence, but
it is all that we care to refer TO. We
have never understood that there was
any contract between the Tribune ard
the Mormon church on this matter, but
we believe we state the case accurately
when we say that it is generally under
stood in the community that the dis
tingu;shed journalist who is the editor
ir-cnief of our contemporary has Il
very great ambition to go to the United
States Senate. The ambition is
worthy one, and would no doubt be
active in many a breast if there were
any chance of gratifying it.
For years the Tribune has been
known throughout the country as the
very archetype of Mormonism.
This fact makes its present attitude to-
wards the Mormon church seem all the
more strongly in contrast with its past
position. BIZ; its present friendly atti-
tude, which to the general public ap-
pears to be as extreme in its new direc-
ton as it was in it's old, causes people
to think there is some stronger motive
than the desire to let by-gones be by
cones and build up it's party. And
this thought that is common is that the
Tribune is anxious to placate its
whilcm enemy and to make it Icck
with favor at least upon the candidacy
fer United States Senator of it's editor
in-chief. This implies no contract, 20
bargain, but it is a conservative view
that Explains truly excess tely
friendly defense of the church where
otherwise no defense would have been
offered, although no hostile criticism
or attack may have followed. il is
the ever readiness Of the Tribune to
explain this or that act of the church,
and to explain it favorably, that
causes people to wonder if there is in
reality any contract between that pa
per and it.
Why this counting Of the church?
Because a majority of the Republican
nominees for the Legislature are Nor
mons, and to have them know that a
powerful paper was friendly to their
church. and that their ecclesiastical
leaders appreciate this. would naturally
make favorable impression on these
same legislative candidates and pre-
dispose them to look upon the candi-
dacy for Senator of the editor with
more or less favor. If this per5 0aal
ambition of the editor shall be disap-
pointed. it is a general belief that the
Tribune will not be so friendly to what
all men acknowledge is a power in
Utah politics. though it is not claimed
that it would then return to it's old
point of view.
We believe we have stated the case
of the Tribune and the Mormon church
fairly, and if we have failed it is not
for lack of intention to so state it.
Summed up, we believe the position
of the Tribune towards the church at
the present time is more the result of
personal ambitions than pure patriot
ism.

THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE.

A local Populist paper asking What
IS the Difference" endeavors to show
that both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties are inconsistent on the
tariff question, and that their posi-
lions are equally untenable.
Its contention as to the Republican
party is. that as the purpose of its
tariff legislation is ito exclude foreign
goods from the markets." no logical
mind would stop "this side Of a tariff
rate that would exclude all foreign
made goods" On that rule, it argues:
There would be no need of a tariff
schedule at all as set out by tariff bills.
All that would be necessary would be
to pass law forbidding any foreign
goods passing our ports of entry"
But 81 osequently it mobiles that by
addine, amy goods that can be manu-
featured or produced in America
AS to the Democratic tariff it says:
The low tariff Democrats occupy

IMPORTANT TO VOTERS.

The voters of this judicial district
ought to weigh well the responsibility
which rests upon them in reference to
the judgeship. Three gentlemen are
nominated for the important position
on the Democratic ticket and three on
the Republican ticket.
Really, party politics ought not to
be injected into a judicial contest. The
bench should be free from political
bias and from the strife of party
campaign. But circumstances rendered
it necessary for the Democratic party
to place three of their number on
their ticket as against three Republic
cans on the other ticket.
A large number of members of the
bar were Disguised at the nominations
made by the Republican party. The
most vehement in denunciation of the
course Of their convention were and
are Republicans. They protested
against the means by which the NOM
nations were effected, and they dis
approved of the choice. While they
might have had nothing against the
nominees as individuals or as mem
bers of the bar, they considered them
unsuited for the high position of dis
trict judges in district wherein such
vastly important interests are in
volved.
1t is certain that the Republican
party contains men of far greater
eminence and ability than those who
are on the party ticket We do not
wish to say one word against the lat
ter as lawyers or as men. We simply
call attention to an undeniable fact,
admitted and deplored by the most
prominent people in that party, who
frankly declare they will vote for the
Democratic nominees.
Ogden Hiles, Andrew Howat and LIE
Grande Young are recognized, even by
the leading Republican paper, as emil
nently fitted for the judicial bench.
They will be supported by the bar of
this city. They should receive the
votes of all citizens regardless of party,
who appreciate the value and abso-
lutte necessity of judicial ability as
well as honesty and integrity on the
bench.
In this city partisanship should give
way to the public welfare. A rebuke.
too. should be given to the trading
policy by which party clques bar
gained with each other for the nominal
ton of the Republican candidates. It
is not so much because the gentlemen
whose names we have mentioned are
Democrats that we urge their election.
as because they are each and ell fully
qualified and adapted by nature, train
ing and experience, for the high posi-
ton for which they have been nomi-
mated. Elect Hiles, Howat and Young,
and we will have a district judiciary
on which we can fully depend.

LAKE HERALDs THURSDAY. OCTOBER %. 1895.

position fully as untenable and incon-
sistent as do the protectionists In
theory they demand lower tariff.
How low? The same rules of common
sense apply here. If a low tariff is bet
ter than a high one, would not still
lower one be better? Would it not be
we'll to abolish it altogether? Where
is the point between a high tariff and
no tariff at all where one may be sure
that he has reached an equipoise be-
tween the two extremes?
That shows that the writer does not
understand the subject on which he
dilates. There may be some reason in
his argument as to protection. For.
the object being to keep from COM
petition American manufactures, the
simplest, easiest and most direct meth
Cd, and the only logical way, would be
to shut out all goods that can be
manufactured in this country. But
there is no reason in the argument
about the Democratic tariff, because
it is laid and collected to provide
revenue for the government and if
there were no tariff there would be no
revenue from that source.
The Democratic tariff is for the pur-
pose named in the Constitution of the
United States; that Is, "to pay the
debts and provide for the common de-
Tense and general welfare of the
United States" To abolish the tariff
altogether would be to destroy the
Democratic doctrine of the tariff,
which is that it must be levied for the
purpose of raising the necessary pub
lie revenue
The low-tariff advocates are consis-
tent and their position is tenable, be-
cause they would guage the height of
the tariff by the necessities of the
government economically administered.
That is the limit They would cut
down the high duties levied for the
special benefit of particular classes,
because the principle of that sort of
protection is wrong and unconstitu-
tional, and it makes the system prac-
tically unlimited except by the de-
mands of the protected capitalists and
the subservience of Republican tariff
thinkers.
The Populistic conclusion that, Gin
so far as principle is concerned there
is no difference between Republicans
and Democrats on the tariff question, -
is inconsistent and untenable' There
is an essential difference which, if OBJ
soure to the Populist mind, is clear
to both Republicans and Democrats
who understand the question. The
purpose of the Republican tariff is to
enable American manufacturers in
given lines to charge high prices for
their goods The purpose of the Dem
ocratic tariff is to provide the neces-
sary revenue to pay governmental ex-
penses. The latter is constitutional.
the former is not.
