needlessly raising the Issue against the
domination Of tho state by the church.
They have imagined that there was no
ground, or at least very little ground,
for the charge, But it seems to us that
tho proof is so overwhelming that if
The Tribune's s critics on this scoro can
not be convinced Of the truth and
righteousness Of this papers conten-
tion, it is simply because they refuse
TO sec that which is before their eyes.
Recent happenings in Cache Valley are
only the outward and open expression
of that which heretofore has been ac-
complished beneath the surface, and
which The Tribune has charged, And
yet, it may be, there will be some who
still will refuse TO sec. However, we
doubt not but the number of those who
hitherto have fatuously imagined their
political freedom to be unmenaced by
the Mormon hierarchs have perceptibly
lesscned within the past few days.

UTAH'S CHICAGO TRIUMPH.

That is a splendid report which comes
from Salt Lakes competition at the
National Dairy Exposition that has just
been held at Chicago under the aus
pices of the u. S. Department Of Agri-
culture.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Fra
zier, Salt Lake g commissioner on dairy
products, invited milk samples from
dairies in this vicinity, engaging To take
charge of them and exhibit them at
this Chicago dairy competition, with
view TO showing the country what
Utah could do at her best by wny Of
producing the best milk in the country.
1t seems that Mr. Frazier performed
his purpose to such good effect that the
exhibit under his charge has taken
four prizes. This by reason of good
scoring on points as well as by reason
of the absence of bacteria in the milk
1t is very high credit to Utah to
make such a splendid showing at this
National Dairy Exposition. Commits
sloaer Frazier will doubtless be proud
man when he returns with the prizes
awarded, and certainly Utah will be
proud both of him and of the good show.
ing that was made in Chicago. 1t was
merely repetition, however, of the
record that Utah generally makes when
1t completes in expositions of various
sorts throughout the United States. The
people here have drawn down many fine
tokens of merit and valuable prizes in
their exhibits OF fruits, sugar bects, and
other products; and now we add to
those these four prizes on milk e1.
hlbits.
IL is good enough for the time. and
Will fortify every Utah producer to do
bls best IN supplying material for fu
ture exhibits, with good confidence that
those exhibits Will be the best shown
anywhere IN the United States.

"AGIN' - ALL mot OF U.s."

AS the hierarchs of the Mormon
church are against all "outsiders,'' 80
do they antagonize all organizations
that exist without their "divinely in
spired" approval. Apostle Heber j.
Grant preached a sermon at Provo or
September 2, 1888, aud we find re-
port of it in tle Provo Enquirer, which
is Mormon publication. In part, Apos
tie Grant said:
There are lnbor unions among us pre-
sided over by apostate Mormons Men
are found in these secret organizations
VINO hold the priesthood, notwlthstand-
Ing these people have been tol time and
Time again by the servants OF God that
no faithful Latter day Saint Will be
found among them. What are we COM
Ing 10?
This is one of the many instances in
which is demonstrated the hatred of
the Mormon hiernrchs for anything and
everything that is "not Of us,'' as thev
put IT. Although Mormon laborers and
artisans may desire to affiliate them
selves with the organizations intended
for their mutual protection. the cbnreb
chiefs demand that they keep out of
them. In SO far as that is concerned,
the hierarchical method is simple one.
They want their men followers TO keen
themselves in such position that they
may im"ose upon them at will. In no
ehureh INSTITUTION is union labor EN-.
pioycd exclusively. They pretend TO be-

never voted against Aldrich but voted
with him every time when they were

Smoot and his appendage. In order tc
get the other two who were like slavisl
followers of Aldrich, tho whole CONT

on the Pacific coast. Senator Flint OF
California. and the other on the Atlantic
coast Senator Kean OF New Jersey. But
Of all the list, there was but one who

was Apostle Smoot Of Utah. He was
never absent and never failed TO echo

the only ones Of the whole ninety two
Senators who never missed vote and

The two Senators from Utah were in
effect and to all intonts and purposes,
Senators representing the interests of
New England. The tariff law was made
up entirely in the interests of the New
England manufacturers. Tho wool men
are finding that out this year, to their
shocked surprise. They supposed that
EN- manufacturers on the tariff PROPOSE

that the tariff that would help the wool

wool grower. Nothing of tpe kind has
happened, however, because tho wooden
manufacturers entered into close com

the bunko tariff bill, and fortifying
themselves through the purchase of up
wards of S20000,000 worth Of foreign
wool last February, they have remained

wool market ever since. They intend to

organ of their combine says, their chief
desire is to procure their "raw material
at fair prices.' That means that it is
to their interest to beat down the price
of wool which is their raw material. and
they are able to do it by reason of the
Of their position by the
bunko tariff law and the combination
into which they have entered for the

So the Utah Senators sold out the

they have tho gall to prate about the
benefits Of this bunko tariff law, and

THE ORIGIN OF THE CHARGE

However much the campaign man
ayers for the church Republican party
including Apostle Senator Smoot, NAV
deny the accusation, tho charge has
been repeatedly made that prior to the
meeting of the last legislature the
church Republican prohibitionists were
sold out. Mr.. Joseph J. Cannon was
one OF the foremost advocates of prohi
bltion in that body. In fact he intro
duced the measure that was killed by
the Legislature, and during the course
OF consideration of his bill he made the
accusation in the following emphatic
language;
Mr.; SPEAKER. I CHARGE THAT

Now, that is plain enough not to be
misunderstood in any sense. Mr.. Can

sclenclous one. When he made that
charge he undoubtedly had sufficient

the truth in practice. The office of the
Dcseret News is bright illustration of
this. Tho News claims to keep an

have always stood for improvements
and progress, when they have motor

The city improvements are also n
sore spot with the opposition. They
seem to hate these Improvements, and
they are stumped In their efforts to
break tho force of the showing that the
American party has made in those i'm
provements; and especially this year
are they discomfted in their attempt to
cry down the advantage that is to be
obtained from tho highGne water de-
livery in the upper portion of the
Fourth ward, where it will be an i'm
mediate benefit 10 all portions Of that
ward, and be substantial reinforce

the city. 1t is one of the immense
benefits offered to Salt Lake City by
the American party, and conceded to
be so by every candid citizen; but the
opposition gnash their teeth about it
because the improvement is made By
the American party.
In like manner, the Smoot organ
keeps constantly rciterating IN its col
umns two statements that are mutually
destructive. First. that the American
party costs the city of Salt Lake Z
thousand dollars a day. Second, that
the American party has stolen from the
taxpayers of Salt Lake City in the last
100000 year, Although it has been
invited TO reconcile its statements. and
show how A party whose total cost is
but $365,000 a year is able to steal
$500 900 a year, it has not yet faced the
music on its own proposition. But this
dishonest reiicrating of these mutually
destructive claims is an evidence that

anything ut all to say against the

"UNDER THE AUTHORITY AND
THROUGH THE CHANNELS OF THE
CHURCH, PETITIONS ARE CIRCU-
LATED AND THE PEOPLE ARE NOT
ASKED TO THINK. RIT 10 SIGN.,,

OF course. we all know that church
recting the Mormon vote. Although the
charge to that effect has been denied
with rccurrent frequency, those who
were informed knew that the denials
were false. They were as those which
have been made concerning the exis-
teDcc of new polygamy-maintain
until no longer maintenable. The chief
authorities of the church have now come
out in the open field of politics, and
hereafter it will be impossible to deny
their interference, Just as it is now out
of the question to deny the recrudes
cence of polygamy.
But there is one feature in the mat
ter which we have quoted from Senator
Badger S speech that is worth consid-
ering to some extent. 1t is wherein he
says that the Mormon people arc "NOT
ASKED TO THINK, BUT TO SIGN"
Mr. Badger was born and reared a Nor
mon; he received fairly good educa-
ton, and in that respect Gas well as in
the matter of naturally clear brain)
he is able to draw the lines finer than
do most of his fellow young Mormons.
In addition, he has served period as
Senatorial private secretary at Wash.
ington, giving to him broader view Of
things than would be possible to the
thousands of his young religion,
lists who have not had equal opportunity.
Upon these accounts, he speaks with
much meaning when he says that the
Mormon people are ''not asked to think,
but 10 sign"
Now, in the present condition of his
party, in which the chief ecclesiasts OF
his church arc personally intcrposing in
hehaIf of Smoof and Smootisn. will he
