lygamy; and when their crime became so notorious
that it was a matter of inquiry before the Senate
committee at Washington in the Smoot investigation,
the church caused these two to be dropped from
the apostolic quorum; but they still maintain their
apostleship, and in no other respect they pun
ished. They looked upon and treated by the
officers and members of the church as being among
the most sancti6ed leaders in the community, and
having suffered temporary martyrdom at the
hands of wicked and unbelieving world They still
continue to live with their plural wives, which
wives continue to bear children to them in the
polygamous relation
The president of the Pocatelo Stake of Zion makes
defense of the church in politics and commercial
ism by the same kind of argument and falsehood
which he in denial of the church polygamy. 1t
is unnecessary to go into the details of his absurd
apology The Scimtar calls upon this ecclesiast to
cite instance where the church has dis
felowshipped any for polygamy polygamous
living; to cite any where penalties have been
inflicted by the church upon polygamists for their
crime; and in default of any proof of his silly
sertion The Scmitar calls the attention of the peo-
pie of Idaho and the nation to the base falsehood
with which this ecclesiast is covering the crminaty
and the political nfamy of his church in this state

Tariff and Trusts.

The protective tariff policy has been justified and
upheld during the years the argument that our
laborers should be protected against under-pad
foreign labor, and manufacturers and producers
against foreign competition to the point where there
should be an adequate reward for own people.
The great trusts have taken advantage of the
policy to destroy competition at home, as we'll as
from abroad, and to enrich themselves enormously
at the expense of all the people. 1t is not sound
argument and will not appeal to free-traders,
that the protective policy was naugurated to stfe
all competition. All competition has been stifed in
many products, by the trusts, which the vast
power and wealth acquired by them for corrupt
purposes The demand of the people is and it is
an insisent demand that the power of the trusts be
broken, and that the controllers and responsible
heads of the corrupt organizations be punished In
cdental and part of this demand is insistence
that the protective tariff be reformed The pro-
inquities, and the people cannot be made to believe
that the laws or lack of laws justified them in their
corruption.
This is opportune time for od-fashioned, COM
mon, plain honesty in private and public affairs
1t is not a good for technicalities
sion There is demand for robust honesty. 1t is
not true that large business enterprises must of
cessity require more or less fraud and stealing in
cessfu politicians must be more or less corrupt

The Worlds Industrial Battle.

The battle of the United States with Japan is to
be contest of industry even if not of arms.
Setting aside as of no imminent danger the pos
sibi1ity of war on sea or land, we are confronted
by the assurance which burdens every mail from
the Orient, that the aggressions of the Mikado's
empire are taking the form of successful financial
and industrial endeavor within the provinces of
China; and from this quarter, with four hundred
millions of abstemous and industrious Chinese ami
mated by the activity of the Japanese, may come
contest for world supremacy.
The growth of the commerce of Japan is some
thing momentous, and we of the United States have
to consider that despite the supposition that the
Orient needs products, export to Japan but
little more than half as much as we import from
that country The figures of the Japanese trade
with the world for the last calendar year as

An ECClesiast CHALLENGED.

William A. Hyde, the president of a Mormon Stake
of Zion of Idaho, has been writing to the news
papers of this state certifying that the church and
its people entirely free from polygamy church
interference in politics and church commercalism
His defense of the accused hierarchy seems to be
acceptable to the political allies of the church in
Idaho, in whose interest the apology is presented for
public considerations but beyond these interested e1e
ments, who would receive and approve any kind of
hypocrisy from the same quarter so long as political
elevation and assistance accompanied the same it is
doubtful if any citizen of this state or nation will
be convinced by the argument
The president of the Pocate11o Stake of Zion Of
fers the following plea concerning po1ygamy:
Gas to the attitude of the church, it is sufficient to
say that poygamy is under its ban as thoroughly as
the law of the church pronounce it; and all
bers who violate its regulations in addition to being
liable to the civil law will be subject to the severest
penalties that the church infict."
And pretended servant of Jesus Christ speaking
in the blasphemed of the Savior dares to tell
that falsehood and ask that he and his criminal col
leagues shall be supported and approved by general
acceptance of the mendacity
The church inlicts no penalties for polygamy either
new or old. On the contrary, it advances and main
tans in the highest stations the who are guilty
of poygamy The church has never disfellowshipped
any for poygamy or polygamous living 1t
has never caused the prosecution of any by the
civil law for either of these offenses 1t guards all
practicers of poygamy from both ecclesiastical and
civil suffering 1t establishes places of refuge for
its poygamists, and it visits its heaviest penalties
politically commercially and socially upon all who
dare to antagonize the practice to critcise the
practicers. Two apostles, John W. Taylor and M. F.
Cowley, were known to have entered into new po-

Even this proportion is not likely to be maintained
after the Chinese shall have been fully armed with
the modern methods by the Japanese; for when such
events shall have been fully consummated, there
will be a great change, to disadvantage, in the
present relative proportions, for many things which
we now export will be manufactured within the
Orient while the stimulation of Oriental industries
and their cheaper material and their infinitely
cheaper labor, will make an invasion of our own
markets and the markets of the world with Oriental
goods of the character as those which we now
export across the Pacific

Anti=MOrmOn Politics.

A contest is going on in Salt Lake City to
decide whether the American citizens the Nor
church shall exercise political control.
The election will take place next Tuesday.
Idaho and other sections of the Northwest
very much interested, as the identical question in
volved there must be fought out here.
The Mormon church dictates absolutely in Utah
State and does not need allies. In Salt Lake City,
however, the Genti1es outnumber the Mormons, and
have cast aside party and are making the
contest as the American party.
The church forces divided under the names
of the Republican party and the Democratic party
In some of the wards in the city there has been
fusion of the church parties; the Republican Nor
mon candidates withdrawing in favor of the Demo-
cratic Mormon candidates and Democratic Church
candidates withdrawing in favor of Republican
Church candidates. The fight for the control of
the city council is thus plainly between the Amer1-
cans and the Mormon church. The church would
withdraw one of its candidates for mayor but for
the effect on the country at large An amendment
will be pressed in the coming Congress- giving the
Government power to put President Joseph F. Smith,
Brigham H. Roberts and all other Mormons who
are living in the polygamous relation, in the pen
Tertiary The church breads this legislation. 1t
understands, to extent, the antpathy OF the
American people to the union of church and state,
and fears the consequences of abandoning the SEM
bance of party politics in Salt Lake City. 1t pre-
fers to take the chances of throwing sufficient Nor
mon Democrats to the Mormon Republican candi-
date for mayor to elect him.
They hope by semblance of party politics to
furnish excuses to a number of Gentes to vote one
or the other of the church tickets They would
sooner fail in this and have American mayor,
than to openly proclaim to the world the absolute
control which they exercise in politics.
Idaho is especially interested in this Salt Lake
City election because we are involved, a state,
in the same fight.

METHODS of improving the 100000
dairy herds of Wisconsin that furnish
milk to 5000 creameries and cheese fac
tories, the drainage of swamp lands, the
making of good roads, horse raising, and
the care of orchards, will form the chief
subjects of discussion at the fourth an
nual farmers course to be held at Ihe
college of agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin, Feb. SIS. From present
indications from 600 to 600 farmers will
avail themselves OF the opportunity to
get the latest information in agriculture.
Last year 40 we're registered, a marked
increase over the preceding year. The
course is intended for farmers over rs
years of age who are unable to avail
themselves of other instruction in agri-
cultural methods. No fees or charges Of
any kind are made by the university for
this course. Demonstrations Of the
milking machines which have been in
stalled in the dairy barns will form an
interesting part of the instruction iu
dairy methods. Tuberculosis in dairy
herds with a post mortem demonstra-
tion of the presence of the disease in
COWS and the method of applying the
tuberculin test will form another impor-
tant part of the work for those interest
ed in dairying. Professor A. S Alexan-
der will conduct the work in the raising
of horses, and will lecture on draft
horses, types and breeds, methods of ex-
amining for soundness, and similar top
les. The aim of the ten days farmers
course is to give busy farmers the max
imum amount of instruction in he min-
imum amount of time. The program,
which is now complete, provides for ler
lures, demonstrations, and practical
work from s o'clock each morning until
8 o'clock at night All the resources of
the college of agriculture will be placed
at the disposal Of the farmers and dairy
men of the state who take advantage Of
the means of instruction thus provided,

Lancaster.


The last week of December witnessed
no revival of the leaf tobacco trade in
the local market, and nobody appears
very hopeful over the si'nation. Only
few sales of small lots have been gong
on for months, with large sale now and
then, and in this way the 1905 tobacco
has been working off until it is estimated
that not above $4,000 cases are left for
trading purposes.
And the outlook for any activity in
the new crop is not good, either, for the
growers still maintain their demand for
stiff prices. Considerable tobacco has
been delivered already, the growers
bringing in the goods contracted for as
fast as it can be stripped. Lately there
have been fewer complaints from the
packers about the mixing up of filters
with wrappers. The packers say now
that there is not likely to be much look
ing after the unsold new crop until it is
stripped and can be examined.
The big manufacturers, those who
have agents out on the road, report hav-
ing plenty of orders on hand. but the
small manufacturers say business is
slack. In spite of the big business of
the cigar trade the past year, the profits
will be less than in some previous years,
on account of the high price of tobacco.

AMONG the greatest railroad projects
now under way, is that of the Grand
Trunk Pacific. The new projected line
leaves the Atlantic at Monckton, N. S.,
crosses the st. Lawrence at Quebec, cuts
through the forests south of Hudson
bay, opening 1000 miles in the region of
timber sought by the lumber men and
paper mills, and in the wilds of northern
Ontario passes over rich mineral lands.
1t runs through Winnipeg and the great
wheat and grazing lands beyond. 1t
enters the mineral regions of British
Colum bia, threads the Rockies by Peace
river valley, and greets the Pacific at the
mouth of the Skeena river, where
model city, called Prince Rupert. will he
built. A branch runs north to Dawson
City. When the great project has beer
completed, the Grand Trunk Pacific will
cover about 5000 miles. No other rail-
road 10 the world compares with it in
wild romance and adventure, except the
Cape TO Cairo railroad in Africa, ani
perhaps the Pan American line. il.-t
may some day extend from the United
States through Central and South Amer
lea to Cape Horn.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

One kind of sales made in this vicinity
is making some trouble to the minds of
those who have sold. AS to the buyers
side of the case l know not. This way
consists in paying certain price for
three grades of wrappers, binders, tops
and filters. In one instance 1 hear that
the law will be appealed to, either to
cause surrender of the contract by the
farmer or to strengthen the claim OF the
buyer. But if ia the bundle he must
Judge of it in an imperfect manner, and
he stands as good a chance as the buyer
to draw prize. But selling to be as
sorted by the packer, he throws himself
upon the tender mercies Of the buyer or
packer. 1t may be all right in some
cases, but sometimes we have to deal
with strangers who may be little
sharper than the "old man." But, as a
rule, the seller is about as sharp as the
buyer.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGRRToN, WIS, Jan. II, l!


Almost steady stream of tobacco has
been coming to the receiving points in
the state during the week and dealers
are everywhere accepting their purchases
as fast as their storage facilities will per-
NIT. Some deductions, however, are in
sisted on where crops show burn, pole
rot or other shed imperfectiors or where
filters are not removed according to con-
tract. Aside from these incidents there
is little cause for differences, for the leaf
is quite generally in fine packing con-
dition. We learn of no effort being made
to lift the remaining fraction of unsold
in first hands. The market for cured
leaf, too, is featureless, save the usual
small trade.
The strongest feature OF the whole to-
bacco market this season has been the
prices prevailing for low grades. Even
the trash which in most years has been
considered of little or no value is eagerly
sought after and gradually advanced in
price until quoted higher than the filler
grades brought earlier in the season, and
entirely out of proportion to their value.
1t is another Indication that the "scrap"
war is not over.
At the packing points business is NOV
ing along as rapidly as the help situa-
tion will permit. At some of the ware
houses more help is yet needed but these
are gradually filling up, and soon every
one will be operated at full capacity.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 800 cases from this market to all
points for the week.
