THE MAN ron rnE TIMES.

We devote considerable space today
10 the memory Of the great statesman
ana apostle OF human liberty, Abraham
Lincoln. the annyernary Of whose birth
occurs ON sunday. Contrary tn what
has been induatriousiy circulated by
designing persons and dirtcputablc
papers. there are no people In this Eiori-
Gus land who regard Lincoln with
greater vcncratlon. and his work with
higher honor than do the I.atter.day
Saints. or "Mormons." aa they are COM
monty called.
The news Of his martyrdom amotc
their hearts with sorrow beyond cS-
preston. Its effect upon that great
leader OF men ana pioneer Of the West
brigham Young. II related by one who
wan present when the word came Of the
tragedy. The services held In honor Of
the departed were reported In the Dcr-

another column today. The incidents
In his life which arc also given We are
sure will be- appreciated by our readers.

IL II proper 10 remember on this oc-
oasion that Abraham Lincoln pursued
a conservative policy In relation 10 our
Affairs IN Utah. After a thoughtful con-
sldcration ~ all the allegations OF the
enemies of the churrh he came TO the
conclusion that his best policy was not

tcrown lands). was not mentioned by
name. further royal iovlca Of this tax
took place. TIL II was abolished by stat
ute In 1870
The House N Commons then began to
assert their right OF voting supplieH--a
right finally established In the reign OF
Charles II--of auditing the public ac-
counts. and Of originating bills for the
raising OF revenue. Under the Ian
castfian kings. Illegal taxation was
rare. though the Tudora occasionally
raised money by bcnevolcnccs forced
ioans) and by granting monopolicH.
James asserted his prcrogatlvc to
levy impositlons by his arbitrary VIII.
and Charles continued 20 do like
wise. Illegal taxation was for
hidden by the Petition Of Right
ICES. but occurred ngain under
James II. who had recourse to the He
gal cxpcdicnt ~ icvying customs by
proclamation. ny the Declaration OF
Right 1883. It was proclaimed Illegal to
levy money otherwise than with the
consent Of parliament which has had
complete control Of the levy u taxes
since that time.
The first actual resistance % the
American colonies against Great Bri'
tain occurred when an attempt was
made to impose Internal taxation by
the authority Of the imperial pnrlla-
mont Tho theory OF the colonies was
that the parliament of England had no
more right TO tax Virginia than the le-
glslatiyc assembly Of Virginia would
have TO tax the colony OF Marsachu-
sets. The oolonlsta admitted and were
proud OF their allegiance to England.
and they demanded the rights Of Eng
lishmen. especially that they should not
be- taxed by parliament In which they
had no representatives. The taxes pro-
posed were not In themselves q serious
burden. but were looked upon ~ the
probable fororunncrs Of others. And "
the parliament OF England might tax
the colonies without their consent. II
might also Impose ON them the cutnb-
iishcd religion and prescribe form OF
worship. Tho levy Of the light tax on
tea was therefore resisted az an In
vnalon of the undoubtcd rights Of Eng
llshmon. who. In taising up their home
In the colonies. had not lost their right
to the protection OF the ancient laws

After sovereignty over the colonies
had passed from Britain 10 the Cont
mental Congress- by the issue of the war
for independence. II was finally pro-
vidcd In the national Constitution that
"rhe Congress shall have power to lay
and collect taxes. duties. impostr. and
