Sugar Trust Profits CInched.

The trusts have a cinch on Dingley
bill profits. OF course they will make
many times more if the bill becomes
law in anything like its present shape,
but they are already engaged in taking
part of their profits.
Sugar has risen considerably in an
ticipation of greatly increased duties,
and merchants all over the country are
laying in stores because still higher
prices are expected. The sugar trust is
consequently busy ar q rolling up prof
its. In April it imported j7,799. 527
pounds of raw sugar, valued at S14,747,-
1870. An extra prof It of one half cent
per pound on this al nount-yvhich is al
ready realized or acknowledgements
yearly 100000 to the trust.
II the bill is two months longer in its
passage, the trus will surely pocket
blO,OOO,OO0 extra lTofits before the bill
becomes law. Who says prote elton is
not good thiDg9 And why shouldn't
senator Aldrich push it along and in

HEAVY DUTIES ON LINENS.
VIII Deprive the People Of n Usefui
Eal xrt~

Fabric.
The following are some of the COM
ments of a man well acquainted with
linens and the linen industry upon the
senate doctored Dingley bill:
The proposed duties on linen goods
under the amended Dinglcy bill are
heavier than ever, although it has been
claimed that the senate had reduced
rates. These goods paid for many years
35 per cent. and yielded n steady rev.
enue to the government. The rates now
proposed vary from so to 100 per cent,
and the burden falls heaviest on low
and medium goods, which are chiefly
used in the homes of the poorer people.
A cheap tablecloth now selling at re-
tail at 25 cents per yard will have to be
sold at 371s cents to 40 cents if the
quality be kept up.
Medium linens for children's summer
blouses will be assessed 9oh per cent,
and the retail price will have to go up
accordingly.
Linen forms the raw material for
many American industries, as Innings
for clothing and other purposes where
strength and durability are required.
Such goods will be advanced 20 to 30
per cent.
1t is claimed that this advance is not
necessary for revenue, but the effect
will be that the people will in many
cases substitute something cheaper,
and thus be deprived of this useful
fabric, and the revenue will be CORES
pondingly diminished. 1t is said that
linen goods can be made here, but this
has been tried again and again, and ex-
cept in the case of few low crashes
has been a failure, owing to the climate
and other difficulties. but even if they
could be made here the rates are un-
necessarily oppressive. The entire cost
OF weaving linen goods in Europe is
about ~ to 10 per cent. the selling
price of the article here. and in Amer
lea the cost should not be at the very
outside more than double this percent
age, so that, even il republican theories
be true, a protection of 80 per cent
should be ample to allow for higher
wages and extra profits for our man
uLacturers.
IT Is possible spectators may start
mills on the strength of these excessive
rates, sell the stock and then step out,
leaving the unfortunate laborer and
manufacturer to face the difficulties Of
the situation as best they can The la
borer probably, having been brought
here from Europe (for labor is on the
free lisO, with unrea sonable expecta-
tons, will be left to join the army of
disappointment and discomfort. Why
should these eXormtantIy high rates
be assessed on an article more or less in
uSe in every household in the land, and
the cost OF living SO much increased in
these days of keen competition and
small profits? Why should the plain
people be taxed to pat more money in
the pockets of the rich? If the wealthy
manufacturers want 10 make experi-
ments, let them do so at their own cost.
not tax the poor for that purpose.

no kind of common sense In applying
the same theory to city government.
City officers have no vote nor official
voice in determining even the most In
significant of the issues which divide
the parties In the state or Nation.
The State Itself, aud measurably the
various counties thereof. have most
potent influence in determining these
questions. In the one case. therefore,
party politics is necessary and
may properly be encouraged as
netting the people to n study Of
national problems and intelligence in
voting upon them. In the other case
party politics is distraction from the
only issues that can possibly be con-
sidered. local matters. good govern
ment, honest methods, economical ad-
mluistration, reduced taxes and ex-
peudltmes-a distraction, too, that is
only gotten UP by and maintained in
the interest of those who think their
party owes them something and who
haven't much else to live on than the
hope that their party friends will re-
ward them with political leaves and
fishes. otherwise jobs.
with proud confidence we invite the
attention OF the people Of this city,
Irrespective of party or sect, to the
character of the men above presented;
to the qualifications sought in them
before they We're nominated; to the
dsinterestednes of the committee
who have worked thus far to get the
bipartisan movement properly be-
fore the community; to the emblem

the stirring motto, Patriotism above

THE TICKET AND EMBLEM.

It is with the utmost pleasure that
tho "News" places at the head of its
columns today the ticket of the Ctti-
zens' Reform party for the elective
offices of this city to be voted Tor next
November. This is done with full
consideration of all the points IN
yolved. and without any reservation
or apology whatsoever. This paper
proposes to champion the principle OF
non-partlsanship in municipal ana
school matters, and is prepared to
prove its faith by It's works to the ex-
tent of mailing its colors to the mast
by hoisting the emblem and ticket to
the place of honor. As far as our
influence goes we shall endeavor to
make that principle. and that ticket
triumphant at the polls, because we
believe the ticket represents the Idea,
and the Idea is wholly worthy and
ought to prevail.
The News" has kept out of poll
tics and Intends to do so. 1t
is in this campaign for the very reason
lust given--It considers the occasion
one where there should be no politics
Mt all. II is gratihed to find an OPP
portunity to assail. without being mis-
understood or having it's motives
questioned. the place grabhers, the
boss politicians, the worse than USE
less heller element the rabid, radi-
cal partisan forces In either of the
contrasting organizations. 1t knows
that a large portion OF the people of
Salt Lake city desire just such indie
pendence In city politics. and have
been earnestly hoping for chance to
make their desires evident. II also
knows that every municipal interest
and every taNpayer's welfare urgent
ly demand such change from polit-
ical methods as can only come
through -partisanship. Hence it
supports the men, the motives and the
methods with whom and by which
the present movement has been iden-
titled and characterized, and it de-
clares herewith It's allegiance to the
doctrine that henceforth and forever
the same broad, Independent ideas
against pattyism in city government
should be promulgated and made to
prevail.
In this connection It may not be inn
proper to repeat that there is abso-
utely no foundation for the fear that
such moment as this. If successful,
would be but the precursor Of the dis
Indignation OF parties in state and Ma
tion. The politicians FOR revenue have
seized this cry, because It has looked
plausible to them. and they are us
ing It on every occasion and with all
the possible changes they can ring
upon it. But a moments reelection
viii show to the commonest intellect
that while there will be and should be
different views as TO the policies
which ought to prevail in common
wealths or statea and in the country
at iarge-the latter being only union
or federation OF the former-there is
