Tariff Reform Necessary.

On the tariff question Gov. Gull
berson says, in his Bookhout letter:
The great question Of tariff reform
should be resolutely pressed. The
taxes levied by this system should be
limited to the actual needs of govern
ment economically administered and
within these limitations the interests
of Texas and her inexhaustible raw
material should be cared for. No good
can result to the people of Texas by
continuing high duties on manufac-
tured articles and putting our raw
material from which they are made on
the free list, and thus invite con-
structlve competition with foreign
countries, which only benefits eastern
manufacturers Until Texas engages
more largely in manufactures than
at present such policy can be but
hurtful to us, and in the interest of
sections already enriched by pro-
lection. If in the present condition
of the treasury it should be deemed
unwise or inexpedient to attempt a
further general revision in the near
future inequalities should be adjusted
by special laws.-St. Louis Republic.

Republicans Trying to Dodge Their Own
Arguments.

Republicans Trying to Dodge Their Own
Arguments.
The republican papers resisted the
improvement in business as long as
they were able. They were unwilling
to admit that improvement was taking
place. They made themselves ridicu-
lous by calamity bowls even after their
news columns announced the unmis-
taxable Improvement in business Now
that they deem it inexpedient longer
to deny the fact, they insist that the
democratic party is not entitled to any
credit for it.
The new attitude is as untenable and
inconsistent as the old one. Repub-
licans have always maintained that
whatever happened under republican
rule was due to republican rule, al
ways provided it was favorable. They
have insisted that whatever occurs
under a democratic administration is
due to the acts of that administra-
ton, provided always it is in the
nature of disaster. But these two
positions cannot be held together.
They are absurd. If the repub-
licans are entitled to credit for
prosperity when they are in power,
so are the democrats under similar con:
ditions. They held the democrats re-
sponsible for panic which began and
ran much of it's course before the dem
ocrats had legislated at all. This was,
of course, altogether unjust and un-
reasonable. But after the party had
perfected all the legislation that it was
able to perfect, republican papers and
politicians said the laws passed, es.
pecially the tariff bill. would ruin the
country. They admit that the tariff
bill cannot be changed for two years
but still they insist that it has had
nothing to do with the return of pros
perity. In saying this, they ignore OF
repudiate the arguments which they
have been urging for twenty years
Acute observers know very well thai
we were near panic in February last
and that the action of the administers
ton averted it. This action was de
nounced by republicans at the time
but business interests have been on the
upgrade ever since. For this the
democratic administration is entitled
to the whole credit. To deny it is te
cast reflection on ones own intelli
gence.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

FEW WORDS FROM THE EDITORS

In issuing the Labor Edition Of The
Herald its editors desire to say that
they have endeavored to present the
cause of labor in the fullest and fair
est manner. Nearly every phase of the
question is dealt with, and by those
who have authority to speak for organ
lied labor. Many of our readers will
doubtless disagree with some of the
theories and views advanced, but all
we ask is a fair hearing. confident that
the truth can only be arrived at by
the discussion of these questions. The
generous offer of The Herald manage
ment to throw open their columns to
the presentation of our views is proof
that there are questions to be dis
cussed and that they are important and
pressing ones. For this most generous
offer and ample opportunity. we de-
sire. on behalf OF organized labor, to
extend our most sincere thanks to The
Herald proprietors, the more so when
we know that some Of our views are
contrary to their opinions.
To those who have contributed arti-
cles ard aided in the financial success

The cause is n worthy one and their
help viii not be unappreciated
The general public can hardly con-
ceive Of the labor required to issue an
edition of this kind. And we hope they
viii take into consideration. when
passing criticisms upon it. that it was
compiled and written by men who
could only devote the time to it that
could be spared aside from their regu-
lar employment.
We have endeavored to cover the la
Dor field to the fullest extent, but of
course have fallen shor Of the mark
If we had possessed the ability to do
better. we would probably ere this have
turned our talents in a direction that
would have taken us out Of the ranks

THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION.


The special report of the commits
sioner of labor. recently issued. ON the
Sums of Great Cities.' presents facts
and figures that should make every
American citizen put on his thinking
cap. In New York. in the city at large.
there was ! arrest to every is persons,
while in two police precincts in the
slums, with a population of something
over $4,000. there was arrest to every
persons. The number of persons to
a dwelling in the city at large is 1852,
while in the slum district canvassed it
is 1913 persons. The liquor saloons in
and in the slums 1 to every 129. The
percentage of the population in the
slum district of foreign parentage is
1928. leaving but AT per cent. of ma
tive parentage. In illiterates the per-
centage of the whole city is 7.s9. while
in the slums it is 1855 of the voters in
the slum district 62.44 per cent. are
foreign born.
This array of figures. to use a trite
saying. is alarming. That the Sums OF
great cities exercise a great influence
in directing the policy of the municipal.
state and even the national govern
ment will not be denied. To prohibit
immigration is repugnant to the ideas
of Americanism. And the attempts al
ready made to restrict it and keep out
the pauper. criminal and undesirable
class by legislative enactment have
proved a failure, as the above statistics
and the recent disclosures respecting
the fraudulent issuing of Chinese GER
tificates will show
One plan for the suppression OF the
evil would be simple but most eff
fectual one. The policy of our govern
ment is a protective one. whether
viewed in the light of Republicanism
or from a tariff for revenue only stand
point The result is practically the
same. But if the American laborer is
to be protected to the fullest extent it
should be by placing a tax or tariff on
alien labor as we'll as on the product
of foreign labor. In California. for In
stance. if every employer were COM
PEELED TO pay TO the government a stip-
ulated amount each day for every
Chinaman employed. he would sud
denly discover that he preferred Ameri- I
can labor. and in consequence every I
American citizen in that state who
wanted employment would have it.
To protect the American laborer by /
placing tariff on the product of the T
''pauper labor of foreign countries. /
while he is thrown in competition with +
the pauper labor, itself is a farce.

THE CHURCH AND woRK1NGMEN,

We hope every minister into whose
hands this paper shall fall will read
carefully the answers 10 the question,
What is the Church Doing to Solve
the Labor PUoblem?" which appears
in this issue. We hope also that every
workingman will read them. and take
time 10 do so thoroughly.
The church and labor organizations
are far apart, but if one understood
the other they would be united in a
bond OF everlasting friendship. Thelc
aims and objects are identical to
where the road turns. The church
stands for the spiritual, moral, physi-
cal and financial elevation Of man
kind, while labor organizations stand
for their financial. physical, moral
and spiritual elevation. If church
builds up a man spiritually and NOR
ally, physical and financial improve
ment us almost sure to follow: while
if a trades union builds up q man
financially and physically, moral and
spiritual force are apt to follow.
Whose fault is it that these two
forces. which really should go hand in
hand, are so far apart? The faulR
lies with neither, but with both. ThaS
the church would heartily welcome
trades unionists is not to pc disputed.
We do not mean the exclusive"
churches, which no more represent
Jesus Christ the Carpenter than does
the Printers Protective Association
represent organized labor. But the
major portion of the churches are not
exclusive" or fashionable" and al
ways have the latchstring on the out
err door. Labor organizations welcome
any move on the part of the churches
in the direction for the benefit of the
masses.
1t seems strange, then, that the two
should not come to a, perfect under
of what each is trying to do
for humanity, and instead of the al
legged antagonism pull together for
the "Fiatherhood of God and the Bro
arh0od of Man" J. A K.

We commend to the associated
charities. the Board Of Labor and
county authorities the article to be
found in another column under the
heading Helping the Unemployed to
Help Themselves" That portion of
the article giving an account of the
experiment in Detroit is written by
Captain Gardner, who had charge of
the work. We think the plan offers
the cheapest and most practicable
method of helping the poor and IN
employed of the city that can be de-
vised. There is plenty of hand that,
we have no doubt. could be secured
for the purpose without cost, and II
a portion of the funds now paid for
the support of the INDECENT were used
to buy seed, it would be a profitable
investment. There win be hundreds
of idle men in the city this summer.
If their labor could be utilized ito raise
vegetables on this land, many a fam
lily would be wholly or partially self
supporting tthe coming winter that
will otherwise be entirely dependent
upon charity. This method of as
sistance also eliminates the pauperiz-
ing effect of direct charity.

WHY NOT USE SILVER.

With men and factories idle and
farms Improbable, what will bring
prosperity and give employment to Ia
Dor?
The prosperity of community or a
nation depends on having the people
probably employed. yet there are
thousands of men out of employment
who should be producing millions of
dollars in wealth every year. This
wealth is lost to the community be-
cause of the enforced idleness of these
men.
Almost every one is in debt; if not
directly. then indirectly. through the
indebtedness of the city. county. state
or nation. No pauper is so poor that
the burden of debt does not fall on him.
How can debts and interest be paid I'M
less wealth is produced: and how can
wealth be produced when men are idle?
What will give employment to the
laborer? What will make market
for the farmer? What will make de-
mand for the products Of the factory?
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-04-28

erecting mills. factories. stores and
residences. and wage earners building
cottages and houses for themselves.
We would have employment for labor
which real estate speculation never
gives.
Imagine the same system applied to
agricultural timber and mineral
lands. What opportunities it would
throw open to unemployed labor and
| idle capital 1t would absorb. to a
large extent, that vast army of the I'M
employed that now compete for labor
and crowd wages down. With work for
all no man would be forced to labor
more than eight hours day. for the
worker would be able to make his own
terms. Child labor and woman's labor
would be unnecessary. for the father
| and husband would have. steady work
at wages that would support his fam
lily without their aid.
With poverty and the fear of pow
erty banished much of the intemper-
ance. vice and crime in the world would
disappear. With every man assured
that neither he nor his family need
SHSA NOii1C " Will SllQ llelL
would bring a competence. there would
be less envy of the rich-less greed
for wealth-less avariciousness than
now. With wealth difficult to attain,
and possible only to few-wfth pres
ent or prospective poverty. the lot OF
many-what more natural than that
wealth should seem the most desirable
thing to secure and poverty the most
dreaded of all evils--to be escaped from
by any means?
No solution of the labor problem
nor. indeed. of the moral or political
problem-can be permanent which
does not propose to deal with the vast
and growing army of the unem-
ployed. They keep wages down. palsy
the efforts of organized labor, render
strikes of no avail and make labor
legislation a dead letter. From these
ranks come the easily purchased votes
which place corrupt politicians in office.
From these come the willing followers
of the demagogue and the anarchist.
They furnish the recruits for our jails
and poor houses.
Surely. any reasonable scheme which |
proposes to open UP the vast unused
opportunities of this country to our IN !
employed is worthy the consideration !
of those who desire the material and |
moral improvement of their fellows. |
May the accomplishment of that OBJ
iect be not too long delayed. May it
not wait till this army. grown conf
dent by numbers and more desperate
by deeper misery. rise in open revolt
and sweep our country. as did the
Vandals and Huns of the north upon
the wealth. the luxury and the corrup-
ton of arrogant Rome. n. q. D.

TODAY'S HERALD.

This edition of The Salt Lake Her
aid, so far as editorial and special fea-
lures are concerned, is the product OF
the Board OF Labor of this city. We
present it to our readers with the as
Furance that much viii be found
within its columns both to interest and
instruct. It is the accredited voice of
labor.
We are pleased to be the medium
through which the views of those who
have written may be presented to
those who will read; and if by this
service we shall contribute to a better
understanding among citizens, we will
have accomplished our chief purpose.
1t is perhaps unnecessary to add that
The Herald, not having prepared the
editorial or other matter contained in
this Issue, is neither to be criticised
for that which may be regarded as I'M
sound or applauded for that which
may be esteemed as commendable.
To our regular readers we will offer
the explanation that many of our
usual news and Sunday features have
been sacrificed either in part or in
whole in order to accommodate our
friends who have the right of way for
the issue.

Prof. Ely says in his article that
there are only two ways of dealing
with public monopolies like railroads.
street car lines, etc. One private
ownership and operation with con-
troll by government; the other gov
ernment ownership and operation.
We think there is a third more prac-
teal than either of the others. This
Is government ownership and manage
ment of the road-bed, private owner
ship and management of the means OF
transportation. Government does not
have to own and run the wagons,
carts, carriages and other means OF
transportation to prevent the monop-
olization of our highways. It is only
necessary for them to own the roaSn
and keep 1t in repairs. 1t could be,4-s
with our railroads. Let the govern.5
ment own and keep the road in oper-S
alton, letting any and all transporta-
ton companies use the road, paying
the government a fixed toll per car or
ton for using the road. This would
give free competition in the transpor-
tation business, prevent monopoly and
relieve government from the dangers
which some people think would be
certain if it undertook the entire man
agement of transportation. The same
plan could be applied to the operation
of street railways.

SILVER AND THE WAGE GARNER.

The question has often been asked
what can the three or four million
people of the west do for free silve
and financial reform, against the sixt.
million people of the east? If it werj
true that the majority of the people
in the east were opposed to fnancia
reform, the task would indeed be hope
less, but we do not believe this is so
That nearly all the leading papers o.
the east, that most of the Influential
citizens" and a majority Of the polit
clans are in favor of the gold standard
may be true, but the great mass of the
wage earners, and more especially or.
! gained labor, in the east, as elsewhere
are in favor of the free coinage of sill
yer and opposed to bonds and the ma
tional banking system.
We base this opinion not only upon
the declaration of organized labor in
their. platforms, but also the utterances
of the labor press. We know of no la
Dor or trade journal that does not take
this position. 1t will also be remem-
bered that a year ago the knights of
Labor tried to get into court to pro-
/
but were denied on the ground that
they had no standing in court-they
were not individually affected.
1t is not strange that the protests
of labor are unheard or UNDECIDED.
They have no great or influential
dailies to plead their cause. Theis jour-
nails circulate almost entirely among
their own class. They have no men Of
national influence. A telegram from
the chambers Of commerce of three or
four cities commencing the President s
sound money policy" will be repro
duced in every daily in the country,
while a petition of 10000 workingmen,
or a mass meeting in favor of silver is
passed by with little or no comment.
An invitation from hundred bankers,
railway magnates and prominent citi-
zens of Chicago, irrespective of party
is sent to President Cleveland to at
tend demonstration in honor of his
sound currency policy. What Won
der that it should appear to the people
Of the country, as it doubtless does to
President Cleveland, that Chicago is
sound on the money question" Yet
we think there is no doubt whatever
but that if the issue of free and indie
pendent coinage of silver were pre-
scented to the people of Chicago. an
overwhelming majority would support
the proposition.
And so it is elsewhere. The great
dailies, the bankers, the millionaires,
the chambers of commerce, do not rep
resent the common people who COM
prise the majority of the population.
They represent the influential class,
whose opinions are quoted, whose ap-
probation seems the most desirable,
and who are in a position to grant
favors and benefits.
1t is the most natural thing in the
world that statesmen should seek this
class for advice. That men who have
made a success in life from material
should seem more capable
of passing judgment upon a financial
question than the man of more humble
and moderate means. But
we must remember that the judgment
