A FALsHEHOOD SPIKED.

''The price of wool today is just
one-fourth of what the Democrats
! ipromised us two years ago that it
would be under tariff reform"
That is clipped from a Republican
paper. 1t is a repetition, in some
what different form, of a falsehood
manufactured out of whole but very
dirty cloth from the lowest grade of
wool in the grease. 1t has been stated
in Republican papers, which have
copied the item from one to another,
that the Democratic party, or some
of its advocates, promised the people
wool if the Democratic party should
be voted into power. That promise
cannot be produced from any paper
published in this territory, or from
any speech made by a Democratic
orator correctly reported. The papers
that copy it do not believe it but
simply pass it along because it
answers their purpose.
Previous to the election of 1892 The
Herald took the ground that free wool
would benefit the whole people of the
United States, and that the greatest
good to the greatest number should
govern in such matters instead of the
special interests of a class. That
cheap clothing and other wooden goods
was of vast Importance to the whole
population of this country, while a
high price for domestic wool would
benefit but a comparatively few indi-
viduals. That the question to be con-
sidered was: Should the welfare of
the consumers who are the masses be
considered or only the interests of
the producers of wool who are a mere
handful in comparison?
At the same time it was argued by
The Herald that statistics would show
that under high tariff the price of
American wool had declined, and that
it did not follow necessarily that if
foreign woods could be brought into
this country free of duty the prices
of domestic wool would be lowered.
The theory advocated was based on
existing facts.
The law of supply and demand
regulates prices. Foreign woods are
needed in this country to mix with
the American product They are
largely of different texture and diff
ferent quality from those kinds that
are raised in this country. If the for
eign kinds are freely imported a de-
mand is created for the domestic
brands to mix with them Manu-
features are stimulated and when
there is a large demand for the do
nestle nrodIlof IT'S Drice will ad
vance. When there is but al small de-
mand the price will decline. Expert
ence has proven this to be true in

UNIFoRM REGISTRATION.

Now that it has been suggested by
the Utah Commission that registra-
ton officers shall register women citi-
zens as we'll as men, there should be
uniformity in this matter. 1t will not
do for one registrar to take one course
and another registrar another course.
They should proceed alike and not
deny any male or female applicant
registration who can take the pre-
scribed oath.
The officers are themselves to con-
strue the law, if it needs constituting.
The Utah Commission are not au-
thorized to do that and instruct the
registrars. But they can offer sug-
gestions and they can remove regis
trar who does not perform his duty
acceptably. Every deputy registrar
is appointed by the Commission and
should receive the suggestions of that
body direct. Nobody else has any au-
thority in relation to the matter.
1t would be very unfortunate if the
uniformity desired in registration
should be broken through any mistake
or design of a registration officer. If
liz SO0SOoI4OAAo VI I4AC commission oAC
carried out in some places and not in
others, the cry would surely be raised
that this was for partisan reasons, and
a trick was intended TO cheat some
citizens out of their rights.
We have no doubt that the question
Of women's right to register will soon
be determined judicially. Meanwhile
let the registrars go on with their
work and not give the enemy the adj
vantage of declaring that there is
Partially in this registration. The
only way to prevent this is to carry
out the suggestion of the Utah Com
mission.
Since the foregoing was put in type
word has reached us of the test case
in Ogden, particulars of which will be
found in another column. We have
contended from the first that the diss
pute should be settled by the courts,
and we regard that as the only way by
which the meaning of the enabling act
and the scope Of the constitution con-
strued with it can be finally deter
mined. We are glad that the contro-
versy will soon be brought to an end.

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

A clean campaign has been called
for and every decent Democrat and
Republican in Utah will cordially en-
dorse the demand But, as The Herald
has already stated, that may mean an
entirely different thing in different
minds One paper which is trying to
pose as the champion of "a clean
campaign" and "a square deal,' in
the same columns where this repeated
cry appears, INDUCES in vituperation
and invectives which belong only to
the dirtiest kind of a campaign. 1t
also misquotes and misrepresents its
contemporaries in a way that is the
very opposite of "a square deal"
Some Of the country papers echoing
its cry also initiate its methods. For
instance a paper published not very
far from Salt Lake City repeats,
parrot like, the call for "a clean cam
paign" and concludes by making this
assertion
The Democratic party is pledged to
further the interests of the old world;
the Republican party is pledged to the
furtherance and protection of Ameri-
can interests. Which will you take?
There can be no clean or honest
campaign fought with such weapons
as the foregoing. Falsehood is not

England and also in the United States.
No definite price for wool was
promised by the Democratic party or
by its organs or by its orators. The
experience of the past was cited, be-
lief that similar effects would follow in
the future was expressed. We have
seen in recent years the price of wool
decline under the operations of the
highest wool tariff ever imposed. We
have seen prices commence to i'm
prove under the operations of free
trade in wool But, after all, we say
now, as we have said from the be-
ginning of the controversy on this
question, the great end in view should
be not the enrichment of small
class of the community at the ex-
pense of the masses, but the general
welfare which will be assured only by
the practice of the principles of Demo-
cratic government

PRISON LABOR.

Prison life should not be made a
picnic for criminals. Employment
should be provided in every jail and
penitentiary in the country. can idle
brain is the devils workshop" That
is an old adage the truth of which has
been established by worldwide expert
ence. The Utah penitentiary is a place
for the detention of criminals, and is
used some times to detain persons ac-
| cused of crime, and once in while
to confine individuals who are not
criminal, but on whom the law puts
forth some claim. Those who are
placed within its walls as convicts
ought to be put to some kind of labor,
according to their strength and their
capacity. 1t is a mistake to keep them
unemployed.
But it is not right to cast any blame
for this upon the marshal or the war
den or any officer connected with that
institution. The blame lies in the law,
not in the officers of the law. In many
places in this country as well as in
foreign countries hard labor" is
part of the sentence pronounced upon
convict 1t is not so in Utah.
When our state legislature has been
elected and shall meet to enact laws
for the new state, provision ought to
be made for putting prisoners to work.
OF course, workshops would have to be
erected and some particular kinds of
employment would have to be speci-
fed, and then discretion and judgment
would have to be used by those in
charge of the state and county pris-
ons, so that no wrong should be done
to prisoners any more than to the
public.
Prison labor, however, should not be
brought into competition with ordin-
airy free labor. 1t is not right that
work-people in the public prisons
should be permitted to manufacture
articles, as they can, for sale at
lower rate than the ordinary prices
for free labor, and thus bear the Ia
Dor market to the detriment Of honest
working people. This need not be done
while giving steady employment to
persons confined in prison for crime.
individuals who are detained before
conviction, or as witnesses unable to
give bail, or for other reasons than as
convicts, ought not to be confined in
a penitentiary which ordinarily is I'M
derstood to be place for the imprison-
ment of convicted felons. But when
ever detained they should not be re-
quired or compelled to perform hard
labor. If, however, they would prefer
to be engaged in some occupation pro-
vided for detained persons, they should
be permitted to work rather than to
remain in enforced idleness.
At the Utah penitentiary something
is found for prisoners to do so far as
the facilities of the place afford. But
as provision has not been made with
a view to prison labor and as the
Jaw does not make hard labor" part
of the penalty pronounced by the
courts, the penitentiary officers have
no power to accomplish what most |
people believe would be a good thing.
They should not be censured in any
way for this lack of power; they can
only perform the duties which they |
are required to attend to by law. We |
must wait now till Utah is a state |
before the problem of criminal labor |
can be wrestled with in this region.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-08-07

clean. F'alsehood is not honest. The
| use of falsehood is not a square deal.
The assertion that the Democratic
party is pledged to further the inter
| ests of the old world is utterly and
shamefully untrue. We cannot be-
lieve that any person in his senses
believes that it is true, unless it may
be some uniformed individuals who
are not acquainted with the princi-
pies of the respective political parties.
The Democratic party in advocating
its tariff principles has in view
American interests and industries,
fully as much as the Republican
party or any other party can posi-
bly, have. And it will be seen, unless
the tariff law now in force is tinkered
with by Republicans, that the views
and policy embodied in a tariff for
revenue are, in practice, for the bene-
fit and interest of the American peo-
pie, by which we mean the whole
people of the United States and not
merely favored few.
Whatever opinions those who are
not in favor of the Democratic policy
may be as to the right or wrong of
Democratic principles, no one has the
right to say that the Democratic party
are 'pledged'' to something which is
foreign to their thoughts and intents.
If a Republican believes that Demo-
cratic tendencies are towards build
ing up foreign countries instead of the
United States, he has the right to
express that opinion in print or on
platform. But he has not a right to
lie and seek to accomplish by his
falsehoods that which he cannot
establish by fair argument.
We have not the slightest doubt
that the effect of Republican policy is
to protect and foster and fatten GER
tain classes of the American people,
to the detriment and impoverishment
of the masses. But we would not
say, because of that belief, that the
Republican party is pledged to
plumber the many for the enrichment
of a few. Yet that would be quite as
just as the charge made by some
Republicans in reference to the pur-
poses and aims of the Democratic
party.
We call for a clean campaign and a
square deal and we mean what we
say, and this includes not only the
absence of "boodling'' and bribery,
of tricks and intrigues, of fraud and
corruption, but also of falsehood and
vituperation, and Of all those con-
temptible tricks and phrases which
will be found so profusely in the
columns of many of our Republican
contemporaries.

RIGHTS AT PANAMA.

The extent of the rights on the isthmus
claimed by our government and admitted
by Colombia is striking. but they have
never been abused by unwarranted inter-
ference. Ten years ago, under Secretary
Whitney, the landing of our naval forces
was of inestimable value, not only in re-
storing railroad transit and in protecting
The lives and property of Americans, but
in saving other property from plumber
and flames. The true policy of our gov
eminent must always be to exercise its
own treaty rights and to fulfill its guar
antees so propmtly and effectively that
no other government will have an excuse
for attempting similar intervention on its
own account.-New York Sun.

TO THE POLE BY BALLOON.

The latest scheme for the explora-
ton of the polar regions is to en-
deavor to reach that point by bal
loon. There is a certain amount of
plausibility about the proposition. 1t
appears to be devoid of many of the
dangers which attend voyages of dis
covery by sea and land; yet of course
it has dangers of its own, known and
unknown, and the risks attending it
will necessarily be very great.
The word impossible seems out of
place in the closing part of the nine
teenth century; so many things that
have been thought utterly impracti-
cable have turned out to be feasible
and natural. The navigation of the
air, so far, has been but experimental
and for short distances. knowledge
of aerial currents is but meager. The
control of air-ships has never yet
been perfected. What will be done in
the future it is not safe to predict.
But it is possible that before many
years have passed, the navigation of
the air will become as practicable as
locomotion on land by electric force.
At the International Geographical
Congress held in London a few days
ago, a proposition was presented for
a balloon expedition to the North
Pole. A paper on the subject was
read by IS. A. Andree, who is sup
ported by the Swedish Scientific so
ciety and who has been encourage by
a. liberal donation for expenses by
King Oscar. The Congress, however,
did not look upon his scheme as
practicable.
The project will not be abandoned.
1t is proposed to prepare a balloon
early next spring, fill the balloon and
start in July with a fresh Southerly
wind towards the pole. How long
the wind would continue is of course
a matter of speculation and that
would determine somewhat the dura-
ton of the trip. Mr.. Andree expects
the voyage would take about forty
days.
A contract has been offered by a
balloon maker in Paris to construct
the machine on the Andree project
for 1900. The machine would carry
three persons with instruments and
1t is to be guided by sails and ropes
which are to act as a brake when
needed by dragging on the earth. The
car is to be large enough to hold a
sledge, a sail boat. a number of
weapons with ammunition and a
Photographic camera. Mr.. Andree
thinks that thirty days will suffice for
cruising about the polar basin in diff
ferent directions and taking a COM
plete survey of the region.
One of the enthusiastic supporters
of Mr.. Andree is DR.. H. Whichman,
one of the most eminent German
geographers. He says:
''The execution of this bold enter
prise may, of course, be materially
influenced by many unforeseen con-
tingencies, but the project is by no
means fantastic. 1t has been cauti-
ously worked out in the light of
science. This is best proved by the
fact that DIR. Elkholm, the eminent
that he will take part in the expedi-
ton"
We are of the opinion that the art
of navigating the air will at some
time be thoroughly understood and
will become perfectly practicable. We
do not think that at present it has
arrived at such a degree of perfec-
ton as to warrant so great and risky
an undertaking as a journey by bal
loon on a voyage of discovery to find
the North Pole.

READY FOR COMPARISONS.

The assertion is made that The Her.
aid dare not publish the editorial of
Sunday on the Democratic tariff, side
by side with one of the editorials it
published two years ago.
That is what is vulgarly known as
bluff" We "call" our contempt
rary and announce our willingness to
publish, side by side if necessary, any
articles on the tariff question which
we have written for The Herald, if our
contemporary will do the same with
articles which have appeared in its
editorial columns at different dates on
the same question, or on the currency
question, or on the status of the silver
dollar.
But our contemporary need not wait
for The Herald to do this. Why does
it not attend to its own business? If
The Herald has taken different posi-
tons at different times on the aues-
ton of the tariff, there is nothing to
prevent the Tribune's reproducing
those articles and making the contrast.
Let our neighbor go ahead. Who is
holding it back? We will be found
ready also to make comparisons which
we fear will prove very "odious' to
our contemporary.
On the tariff question we stand to-
day just where we did two years ago
in principle. We hold to the same
views now as then. If our lodging
neighbor can show to the contrary we
will be found ready to face the music
Is it also ready, and will it acknow-
ledge its contradictions when pointed
out? We are able to produce an array
of them which would prove interesting
to some folks. Are they wanted?
