BUSINESS AND TRADE.

In the business circles of this com
munity during the week the event Of
special note was the meeting of the
Utah Mine Owners Association on Fri:
day evening to protest against any re-
duction in the tariff schedule on lead.
1t was conclusively shown that such a
reduction would in6ict very serious
blow upon the business Of this city and
State. The attendance at that meeting
was a sufficient guarantee that the &C.
tion taken and the agreements reached
were, beyond all question, correct and
needful. The facts presented and the
conclusions arrived at can be accepted
without reserve by this community, ard
those facts and conclusions show that
if is every ones duty to exercise what
ever influence can be exercised to retain
the lead tariff where it is.

CHURCH AIM IN THE SCHOOLS.

The remarks OF President Joseph +.
| Smith during tho conference. on the folly
and wickedness OF some so-calIed Latter
day Saints. in sending their children to
! be taught by those whose object and in =
tent are TO lead them from the faith OF
/ their parents, were timely and indisputa-
such a course is certainly OF the most
| Slarlng kind. To come out from the
world under convictions that It's insti-
tutions, spirit and tendencies are wrong
! and contrary 70 the order OF heaven, and
then place our tender children. with minds
uniformed or immature under those very
| influences, appears 10 us plain evidence
either OF great blindness or deep hypoc-
| risy.
Parents who profess to believe that
God has set up His church and kingdom
on the earth and established system
which is divine, and that all others are
creations OF mon. containing fatal ele-
ments OF error and doomed to dissolution
and yet send their children to be tutored
must be very thoughtless or very insin-
cere. God will hold lis respon-
sible for our course in this thing, and
VIC trust that the words Of warning ut
tered during the conference will not go un-
regarded nor without permanent effect
Deseret News editorial, Friday, April S,
1881.
Here IS evidence that Friday is an
unlucky day-for the Deseret News
In view of its present hypocritical
pretense that it desires to have the
public schools kept free from illegiti-
mate influence and intrusions, its real
attitude, as expressed in the above
editorial utteIance, is extremely un.
fortunate to itself and enhghteuing to
the citizenship.
It has always been special object
with the Mormon church to control
the public school system Of Utah. And
this anxiety has grown out of the very
reason stated by the Deseret News
that the tender mind Of childhood and
youth should be constantly subjected
to the influence of the Mormon priest
hood. The church has sought at all
times TO have school boards, school
trustees and teachers selected from
among its own membership. BY this
means it has hoped to keep the school
children trained In awed respect for
the Mormon priesthood. Even now, in
the rural districts, where the ecclesi-
asts hold complete sway, one may hear
the little ones say that "Brother
Blank or Sister So-aud-So teaches our
school, In the meetings of the school
trustees in these localities these di.
rectors Of public education "brotherv
one another from beginning TO end of
their deliberations. They always con-
slider the desires OF the bishopric and
consult with the priesthood as to Sc
lections to be made or methods to be
pursued. The Mormon religion and the
will of the high priests is intruded
everywhere and in everything with
which they deal.
1t is recognized by all thinkers that
the public school system should be kept
out Of politics; but these individuals
have also determined that to have re-
ligious Interference is infinitely worse;

ball did not expect, and we are lost In
speculation to know how be will take it,
or how it will affect him. There can
be but one fair opinion as to the pro-
priety of Judge Powers in moving upon
the Department to purge the court Of
this character assassin and malignant
liar, and that is unqualified approval.
And now the public will await with due
patience, but with keen interest, the re-
suit OF this investigation.

SALT LAKE FREIGHTS.

The Tribune is reloiced to see the
shippers OF Salt Lake taking such a
lively Interest in the matter of freight
charges, and so many OF them joining
the Traffic Bureau OF the Commercial
Club. 1t has been understood for q
great many years that the freight rates
to salt Lake were so adjusted as
to afford crushing discrimination
against the business men of this city,
MI Kindel, in his recent talk here,
! demonstrated the fact conclusivcly, and
| showed by unanswcrable figures and in
detail, exactly how this injury to Salt
Lake in freight discrimination works
practically to the hampering of the
trade of this city. Mr.. Mcdonald also
gives graphic Illustrations in his busi-
ness Of how the freight discrimination
Injuries as betweon shippers from Salt
Lake to Los Angeles and shippers from
Philadelphia to Los Angeles. The
discrimination is very great as against
Salt Lake. And the reasons for that
discrimination, both as to the excuse
that it is made by reason of ocean
rates and by competition in railroads,
are both shown to be fallacious; for
the ocean rates cannot cut any figure
from the fact that they are SO slow
that 1t would be impossible to ship his
goods in that way, as they would spoil
in transit; while as to railway compe.
tition, Salt Lake City is also classed as
competitive point, precisely as Los
Angeles is.
The truth is that as to railroad
rates, Salt Lake City being g competi-
tive pont, we should have practically
the samo rates from the East that Los
Angeles enjoys The difference. if any,
should be so trifiing rs to amount to
very little. In fact, we see no reason
why Salt Lake City should not obtain
Identical rates with Los Angeles. That
would give this city something like a
chance, and would build up here a.
great distributive center, which would
be of immense profit to the rail
road companies. II these companies
can haul freight seven hundred and
fifty miles beyond Salt Lake from the
East at the same rate that they charge
for the haul to Salt Lake, surely the
shorter shipment would afford them
greater profit.
What Salt Lake City needs is to
have identical freight rates with the
coast And as the haul is from seven
hundred and fifty to one thousand
miles less, it would be very difficult for
the railroad companies to show any
reason why Salt Lake City should not
receive as low freight rates as those
Of Los Angeles and San Francisco.
In fact, it would be far easier to show
why Salt Lake should receive lower
rates than those at the coast than to
show that she should be charged higher
rates.
The business interests OF this city
clearly demand reform IN this matter,
and The Tribune reJoices to sec tho
business men here taking such lively
interest in the discussions, and trusts
that they may be able to so handle
their case as to get substantial relief.

UTAH MINING MEN PROTEST.

The Utah Mining Operators Associa-
Club Friday night took straightforward
| and commendable action with regard
! to the lead tariff. 1t was shown con-
clusively by the figures presented that
! the Utah lead producers could not al
ford TO keep their mines open if there
were any material cut in the tariff
schedule on lead. 1t was shown that al
most necessarily in large number of
cases the mines that would be thus shut
down on account OF the lowness of the
lead price would also cease their silver
production, because the two metals
usually come out together and, lead be-
ing extremely low, the profitable feat
ure at present as to many Of them is in
the price Of lead
The resolutions adopted by the asso.
citation are well drawn and precisely
adapted to the situation. They are used
also as the heading of o petition which
is being signed by the mining and gen.
eral business community protesting
against any reduction in the lead tariff
Mr.. H. S. Joseph, secretary of the u.s.
ISOLATION, in presenting his figures,
showed that ga reduction of the tariff
on lead would mean An annual loss TO
the Utah mining industry of $780, 900,
while complete shutdown Of the lead
silver mines, that would in all probobil-
ity follow n reduction of the tariff,
would create a loss annually TO Utah of
$14,76o,000.' He also figured that "ten
thousand men would be thrown out Of
employment, meaning loss in wages
annually Of s10,000,0o0, which means
practically that much loss to every in
dustry dependent on the mines and on
the trade OF the men employed.
1t is certain that loss like this
would be very serious blow to the
of this whole community,
and there should be, and no doubt will
be, united voice IN disapproval of any
to make any reduction in
this tariff schedule.

The principle of plurality of wives

President Heber c. Kimball In Salt Lake
bowery. October 8. 1865; Journal OF Dis
courses volume ., page 125.
Plain championship Of the twin
relics of barbarism, slavery, and po-
lygamy, is found herein. And while
it may be contended by Mormon pull
pitscrs and writers Of today that the
church has changed its attitude with
respect to these subjects, an ezamina-
tion Of existing doctrines and circum-
stances will lead to an opposite con.
clusion.
Concerning the matter Of slavery, il
doctrine Of the Mormon church holds
the colored brother to be vastly the in
ferior OF the white member He is not
given anywhere near the privileges that
are granted to the white saint. While
he is permitted to be baptized for the
1t, he can hold no priesthood-to
achieve distinction in which is the
highest ambition of the male saint, who
considers it to be heavenly bestowal
Of great favor. According to church
doctrine the colored man is to occupy
a menial position in this probation, to
atone for some supposed great sin com.
mitted by his ancestor of centuries ago.
he is also compelled to wait until some
indefinite period in the great hereafter
before he can attain to the privileges
enjoyed here by his white brother. And
there is nothing assured to him, even
in this doctrine, for it is vague as to
the time to be covered by this proba.
tionary period, and decidedly non.com-
initial as to when salvation shall be
achieved. There is merely the general
statement that the descendants of
Canaan" must work out their exalta.
tion-the Lord only knows when that
is to happen. But it would seem strange
that this treatment should be accorded
TO the colored man. 1t is claimed bv
Mormon authority that baptism by i'm.
mersion, according to the formula of the
cult, brings remission of sinsp TO
the uovltlate, and why this remission
does not occur in the case of the col.
ored convert, placing him on an equal
religious footing with his white brother.
1t is difficult to explain, except on the !
suppositiou that belief in slavery has
not been abandoned. and that it never
will be.
In regard TO polygamy, the testi-
mony of the present head Of the church
is emphatically to the effect that his
belief in the alleged principle is "as
strong as it ever was" and that the !
man who will deny the righteousness
of :he practice under the pretended
