Ji iHiE Ykkkks on Tuesday clipjHxl the
wings of the county commissioners, of
IVrks county and set an example for all
the other counties in the state. It has
lieen customary there, as in other coun
ties, for the commissioners to appoint a
janitor and fireman to look after the
court house. Judge Yerkes delivered an
opinion to the effect that the act of 1S.H
vested the jKtwer to make the appoint
ments in the Court ami not in the com
missioners. This was a bombshell.
The judge followed up his opinion by
apMin(ing the fireman and janitor for a
term of three years, In-ginning January

Kvkky good citien should pay his
just jMtrtion of taxes for the support of
the state and government. He should
also pay without complaint a portion
for the support of the j tor and needy.
Hut to I taxed for protection, to help
his wealthy neighbor, who probably
has more of this world's goods than he
lias, to make money, is stretching the
functions of the government to a point
where every free citizen should object.
In a government for the jteoplc there is
no class that should I protected but all
should contribute alike. In monarchial
governments, where the nobility aresup
ttosed to I Itetter than common people,
it is right for those who accept the be
lief to allow themselves to le taxed for
thesupiKtrtof their sujteriors. In this
country where farmers, printers, laltor
ers and others are taxed for the lienefit
of a class of manufacturers, the levying
of the tax, in the shape of a tariff protec
tion is an imposition that smacks of the
trade of the highwayman.
The consideration of the bill for the
admission of I'tah intothesisterhoctd of
states was begun in the House on Tues
day. The principal point at issue was
whether the enabling act should contain
a provision imixtsing pains and penal
ties for iMilygamous marriages, the con
tention on the one hand Iwing that the
state should come in on an equal foot
ing with other states unhandicappod by
sue h provisions; on the other that as
Itlygamy had Iteen stamped out by the
federal statue, on the admission of the
territory would rejteal that statue, con
gress shou 1.1 make it practically part of
the enacting act, Mr. Morse (Mass.) in
opposing the bill, took occasion to make
a vicious assault on I'tah and Mormon
ism and recalling ail the outrages of
plural marriages, the crimes of DaniUs,
the Meadow massacre, blood atonement
and the revelations of the endowment
house. Mr. Kawlins, the I'tah delegate,
in the course of a brilliant sjteech cham
pioning the bill replied to Mr. Morse and
worsted the representative from the Buy
State very hadly. Mr. H a rter(O) opposed
th bill on the ground that it gave a
sparsely settled western territory too
txiuch influence in the senate.

lo which the parly is pi.-dged ale traitors.
It is the misfortune of the I . -mocratic
parly that it has so many men in public
life who are I cmMTats for revenue only
says the New York 117.;.. They have
no principles. They cannot lx ilepend
ed upon in an exigency. A lot of this
sort prevented the prompt rejK-al of the
Silver I'ludiase act. They were finally
l aten, but they did all the mi.-chief
they could before they yielded.
We know there are men in ltoth
branches of congress w ho were elected
as Democrats, but who are at heart Re
publican protectionists. Some of thcrn
are the same men who were determined
to compromise on the silver question.
These are men w ho can le depended
upon in no issue of principle, but they
never surrender partisan claims on olli-c-s
and salaries.
What we desire to say distinctly now
when the lines are U'ing drawn is that
the man who is in favor of taxing the
many for the lerielU of the few had bet
ter go over ojtenly to the Republican
protectionist party, where he properly
lielongs. The Democratic party does
not stand for that idea. The Republi
can party d:s.
If anybody has supiosed that tariff re
form can be accomplished without hurt
ing temporarily some of the plutocrats
who have !een pamjtered by tariff Imun
ties, he has not sense enough to jxtse as
a statesman.
It is a time when Iemocrats must
closely watch their representatives.
Those who are allies of the Republican
protectionists must le marked. We do
not believe that there are enough of
then to prevent reform, but whoever they
are they must le forced to show their
true colors.
Another of the free trade bogies of
protectionists is that if the Wilson bill
Iteeomes a law American workingmen
will le deprived of work. They say that
the country will e so "llocxled': with
foreign made gotuls that it will le im
possible to manufacture here and that
consequently American workingmen will
le unable to obtain employment.
That is the silliest of nonsense. As
the New York Jtrrvnlf-r, a Republican
newspajters said the other day, and as it
reiterates whenever it is seized with a
Spirit of fairness, the Cnited States has
had within the past hundred years all
kinds of tariffs and has prospered under
all. And as it further sas no tariff
can injurethe Union. It b:s advanced
under all tariffs and will continue to ad
vance, lio matter what may be done.
The prosperity of this country dejtcuds
upon the employment of its people.
They are not all hankers. They do not
all work hard at cutting off coupons
with which to purchase what foreign
menials mav make for them. They ex
change their lalior for money and that
money keeps the wheels of trade mov
ing and insures prosperity. As the
c(TP(i clearly shows, American work
ingmen have found employment under
all sorts of tariffs and can continue to
do so.
As to American workmen leiiig
thrown out of employment by the en
croachment of foreign goods, that is the
most nonsensical thing that can lcsaid.
Who must buy those "I'oods" of for
eign goods? Necessarily, American
workmen With what will goods U
'Ixiughl? Money of course,. How will
they obtain' this money? IJy working
for it. I.ut if the iloods" of foreign
goods deprive them of work and conse
quently of money how can they purchase
foreign stuffs, and if they don't buy
them how will these destroy Jthe Ameri
can market and. throw Americans ou! of
work? Where there are no purchasers
there is no market. Where there is no
market there are no encroachments.
Where there are no encroachments
there is no deprivation of work.
This is a condition that no tariff bill
can change. The Wilson bill will not
and cannot deprive of work those Amer
icans who are working in such industries
as do riot owe their existence to tariff
subsidies.
A cttlkky company of Meriden,
Conn., says the Pittsburg 7W, ttostcd a
notice in their works a few days ago,
stating that the Wilson bill made reduc
tions of about f0 per cent on cutlery,
and that if it passed their employers
must look for a reduction of their wages
of from 40 to 50 per cent. This is pure
humbug. The Wilson bill puts the
rates on cutlery substantially back w here
they were under the law of 1SS3. The
-Meriden firm did not increase wages
when the McKinley bill added 40 or f0
ht cent to their profits. Not a bit of
it. They pocketed the additional pro
tection they have hen having these
years, but they propose to cut labor when
the duties go back to what they were
when the present scale was arranged.
Thw is a pretty good sample of protec
tionist dishonesty.

OV.1U.T t the bad condition in
w In. h tin- K.-oul.iii aus lelt the linai.. s
of the country. The at-sence of this re
port, although not lii" only reason, was
one of the principal reasons for he de
lay in yelling the new tariff bid in-fore
the House. It would have la-en sutii-cu-nt
of itself, as it is necessary lor that
rcMirt to Ih; in the hands of memiiers be
fore they take up the tariff.
Chairman Wilson's present intention
is to report the tariff bill to the House
next Wednesday, and lit; h..-jj to te
able to make public its twin measure,
the intern il revenue bill, at about the
same time. The last named bill would
have leen ready before this had not the
revised estimates of the olliciais of the
treasury department shown that the de
ficiency in revenue caused by the reduc
tions in duties and extension of the free
list made by the new tariff hid would le
in the neighborhood of i.O,UtiO,tH0,
which was some '", Hm,ioo more than
had la-en estimated by members' of the
ways and means committee. This of
course, necessitated a revision of the in
ternal revenue bill, which is to he made
to supply the deficiency caused by the
tariff bill. Among the new iroHsitions
submitted to the committee this week
was one from Representative Hatch, of
Missouri, to tax the transactions of the
stock and produce exchanges, instead of
the earnings of corporations, which had
iMt-n previously agreed upon by the com
mittee. Mr. Hatch thinks such a tax
would lo lelt less than any yet proposed.
As there is no estimate for the exjM ii
s s of the P.ureau of American Republics
in the figures submitted by Secretary
(iresham, for the next fiscal yiar, it is
safe to say that there will soon 1-e no
P.ureau of American Republics. It was
a sort of a sideattachineut to the beauti-ful-on-pa-r-I!l.iine
reciprocity pro
gramme. Its cost has lieen annually
about $:;o,0(iO, principally for salaries,
and the U-nelit it has lieen to the coun
try has li-n undiscovererable. Secreta
ry Morton regards the money sM-nt at
the forty-eight agricultural experimental
stations one in each state and territory
as largely wasted, and having recom
mended in his annual reM.rt that they
U: alH.lished he left the 7''0,tKM which
it would require to run them out of his
estimates for next year.
The probability of a change in the sen
ate rules is very slight, although then
are several proposed amendments now
lcfore the committee on Miles, of w hich
Senator Rlackb.irn, of Kentucky, is
chairman. The other Democrats on the
committee are Senators Harris, of Ten
nessee, and (lorinau, of Maryland. The
action of the Republican caucus in de
ciding not to lillihiistcr to prevent a vote
on the Wilson tariff bill when it gets to
the Seuate has weakened the desire for
a change to a noticeable extent.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company

of the standard steel rails used by the
Pennsylvania. Thirty-six tons are to
cost 'J1 per ton, and the remaining
7,000 to le equally divided between the
Carnegie and Cambria Iron Company at

Pennsylvania Railroad Company to con
tract in IVceiniicr for the steel rails it
contemplates lay ing dining the succeed
