THE LION AND THE LAMB.

The English agriculturists do not
want the American lamb to lie down
inside the British lion, because, they
claim, the American lamb is I'M
healthy, and such being the case they
will furnish whatever lambs the Brit
ish lion may need, and lambs of per-
feet health and richest flavor. That
is patriotic from the point of view OF
the agriculturists, and cannot reason
ably be objected to by any consistent
protectioniSt
This sudden discovery by the Eng
lish agriculturists that American sheep
are not fit for food for Englishmen is
the merest nonsense and is but a dis
guise for putting forth a plea for pro-
lection for themselves. 1t is very IA
miliar in Germany and has been
worked to it's full extent in that coun-
try as regards American food pro-
ducts. German agrarians and Eng
lish agriculturists are but adopting
what many in this country are pleased
to call American doctrine of protec-
ton. When they adopt it we may
very readily see all the selfishness
there is behind it, how the cry of the
general good is all a hollow pretense,
how the needs of the workingmen are
made pretext to satisfy the greed of
their employers. All these evils are
present in the system in this country
as well as abroad, for they are in
herent in it. Is the subterfuge put
forward nv Gonna Garr1.a nc and Epr
lishmen as a reason for excluding
American food products any more abb
surd than the argument advanced by
the protectionists in this country? In
fact is not the one as valid as the
other? If it is desirable that Ameri-
cans alone should supply the wants
Of Americans. then it must be desir-
able that the wants of Germans and
Englishmen and Frenchmen and all
other peoples should be supplied by
themselves and none others.
If the English government should be
so unwise as to give legislative heed
to the cry against American sheep, the
English consumers of our mutton
would be the chief sufferers But we
must not complain when others prac-
tice what this country has preached
for the last third of century.

EULoGY OF SALT LAKE SCHOOLS.

The following from the Butte, Mon
tana, Miner, is a fitting tribute to the
excellence Of the Salt Lake school sys-
tenn, under the competent superinten-
dency of Professor Millspaugh and the
admirable management of the Board Of
Education:
There are in the west two first class
city school systems that have kept
pace with the onward march in educa-
tional development, and they stand to-
day with the very best in any part OF
the country. They are the Denver
schools. under superintendent Aaron
Gore and Salt Lake city schools under
the superintendency of DR.. J. F. Mills
paugh. These men of broad scholar
ship and fine culture have for many
years been supported thoroughly and
literally in carrying into execution
plans for the reorganization and I'M
provement of their schools. Superin-
tendent Kern will ask the board Tor
leave of absence in order to spend
few days in the Salt Lake schools.
that, by examination Of the work ana
comparison of notes, he may be the
better prepared to carry out his plans
for the advancement Of the Butte
schools.
When educators from a distance
come to this city for light on the best
system to be employed in the schools,
folks who reside here are led to ap-
preciate the value Of what we nave.
Salt Lake will become attractive not
only for its material advantages as a
place of residence for intelligent and
progressive people, but for the splen-
did opportunities afforded for the edu-
cation of their children. Without good
schools no city is to be ranked as first
class.
In congratulating ourselves on the
excellence of our city schools and on
the fact that this is being recognized
on the outside, we must not lose sight
of the fact that all this is due to the
broad-minded. non-partisan, un-secta-
rian course Of our Board of Educa-
ton and the indefatigable and success
full efforts Of DIR. Millspaugh, who has
established a reputation of the highest
order and who has demonstrated that
he is not only a competent preceptor,
but a splendid superintendent.
When statehood is we'll under way
and capital begins to pour in, our
school facilities will become more
widely known, and it will be a strong
magnet to draw the best people from
afar to take up their abode in Utah, to
have it proclaimed in the language of
the Butte Miner, that our schools
stand today with the very best in any
part of the country"

terprises by preventing importations.
Keep out the foreign goods. it is ar
gued, and you encourage and protect
American industries
But if you prevent importations by a
high tariff, how do you raise your in
creased revenue? If you do not pre-
vent or restrict or retard the influx Of
foreign goods, protection does not pro-
tect. If you succeed in decreasing i'm
ports, then you do not increase the
revenue from duties ON those imports.
A few figures will show how the the
ory of high duties and big revenue
works in practice. In 1890, the last
year before that fearfully and
wonderfully made monstrosity OF
legislation known as the Nc
Kinley law went into effect, the GUS
toms receipts were $229,66S,5 During
the next year, to which only a part Of
the Mckinley schedules were appli-
cable, the receipts fell off a little more
than ten millions. to $219. 522 POS. Dur
ing the next year they declined to
SIT, ASP. 1854. and in 1894, when the full
effects of the law were felt, the re-
ceipts sank to $121,S1S,530.
The proposition, then, made by many
Republican speakers and papers, to
run the government on the receipts
from a protective tariff, does not seem
to meet the exigencies of the situation.
There is not enough in the figures
given above to cover the cost of our
pension system. The expenses OF our
government have reached the sum OF
five hundred millions a year. To talk
of raising that amount by raising the
tariff to high protective rates. is even
sillier idea than the scheme to raise
ones self in the air by Juggling at
ones bootstraps. Our Republican
statesmen had better not try to mend
our finances by tinkering with the tar

THE BARRETT RESOLUTION.

The resolution of Representative Bar
rett, Of Massachusetts, for the i'm
parchment of Ambassador Bayard was
well calculated to cause a, sensation
and it has. The ground for this reso-
luton was Ambassador Bayard's Ed
inburgh speech in which he character
lied the system of protection as state
socialism, and his reference to the
United States needing real man" to
govern them. His words on the latter
subject were:
The President stands in the midst of
strong, self-confident and often times
violent people, men who desire to have
their own way and who need to have
that way frequently INSTRUCTED, and
tell you plainly it takes a real man
to govern the people of the United
States.
Mr.. Bayard's characterization Of the
protective system will be regarded by
those who oppose it as just, but they
will also admit that it was an indis-
erection for him to make it where he
did, considering his diplomatic posi-
ton. His reference to Mr. Cleveland
was no doubt the result Of his strong
admiration for him, but it likewise
was an indiscretion and really more
offensive than his Characterization of
ism could possibly be. But do they
justify Representative Barrett's reso-
luton for his Impeachment?
In opening the prosecution in the
impeachment proceedings against Pres
ident Johnson. General Butler said:
We define. therefore, an impeach-
able high crime or misdemeanor, to
be one. in it's nature or consequence,
subversive of some fundamental or es-
sential principle of government, or
highly prejudicial to the public inter-
est, and this may consist of viola
ton of the constitution, of law, Of
an official oath, or of duty, by an act
committed or omitted, or, without vio-
lating a positive law, by the abuse
of discretionary power from improper
motives, or for any improper purpose.
Accepting that definition of an i'm
peachable high crime or misdemeanor
as correct, it is plain that Mr.. Bay
ards utterances, no matter how indis-
Greet or how much they are to be de-
precated, do not come within it, No
doubt politics is behind the Barrett
resolution, but Mr.. Bayard talked poll
tics, and that was the mistake he
made. and nothing more. But how
different his remarks at Edinburgh
from James Russell LowelPs, who oc-
cupied the same post, on Democracy"
on a similar occasion. There sound
views and sound discretion were per-
fectly blended.

HOW LITTLE WOOL TARIFF AT
FECTS PRICES.

How little the tariff affects prices re-
ceived by our farmers is shown by the
fact that in 1857, with wool free, the
price was IS cents; in 1875, under lower
tariff. so cents Since 1875 there has been
a steady decline, though the high tar
iff was continued. In 1890 the tariff was
put higher. but wool continued to fall.
In 1892, while the Mckinley act was In
force, prices fell from 80 to so per cent.
A class of wool which Senator Allison
found worth 951a cents a pound in 1881,
was in 1889 worth 1914 cents; in 1892 it was
worth 63 cents; in 1898 it was worth IS
cents. and on March 1, 1884, before wool
was made free, it had fallen to 49,
cents. In view of facts like these 1T is
futile to expect restoration of former
prices of wool from tariff tinkering. The
probable effect of a duty, in the light Of
the record. is a further decline Of domeS-
tic wools.-Baltimore Sun.

WANTS MIR. CLEVELAND.


The latest advocate of third term
for Mr.. Cleveland is David A. Wells.
political economist, statesman ard
scientist. Mr.. Wells is a. close per-
sonal friend Of Mr.. Cleveland and he
feels confident that the President
would be candidate for a. third term
II an urgent call should be extended;
which urgent call will not be extended
II the reason urged in this behalf is
valid. then it would really seem that
the people of the United States are
not Mt to govern themselves, in which
case they are not fit to elect a man to
govern them. 1t is urged that this
republic is menaced today, not by
barbarians from without, but by bar
paflans from within" That there are
oarbarIans within the country no one
will deny. but they are scarcely the
menace that MIR. Wells seems to think
them. He says on this subject that
Mr.. Cleveland endeared himself to the
country last year when Populism
and Debsism reared their threatening
heads. and now, when the public credit
ana the nations honor are at stake
ana Jlngoism is rampant, there is need
OF tried and trusted President" We
are OF the opinion that Mr.. Cleveland
is more tried than trusted today And
when the time for Mr.. Cleveland to
close this mortal career of his came,
what would become of this country?
1t is terrible to think of that future,
the only thing that is at all
like it presenting itself to our
mind being the Last Judgment" Of
Allchael Angelo. The horror of it all
is only equaled by the picture of the
country drawn by the protectionists
without their dear system. Mr.. Wells
feels confident. however, that he
would accept a denomination if he
felt assured that there was a general
honest desire for his candidacy"
NOW Mr.. Cleveland is not the mar
velously great man that his ardent
admirers say he is, nor is he the little,
narrow man his detractors declare him
TO be, but he is not necessity to the
American people, and as their instf-
buttons lived before him so they will
continue to flourish after him. There
is no third term for him.
