Show DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL, 4 UTAH STATE JOURNAL HANDMAID OR HIGHWAYMAN. OGDEN, UTAH. This is a part of the inaugural address of President Jefferson, March 4, 1801: Economy in the public expense that labor be may lightly burdened; the honesty payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith ; encouragement of agriculture and of commerce as its handmaid, etc. These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us, and guided our steps through an age of. revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and the blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They shpuld be the creed of our political faith, the text of civil instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety. In the great Jeffersonian plan, commerce I.i was to be the handmaid of agriculture. the modern Dingley plan, supported by Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt, commerce is a highwayman which compels agriculture to stand and deliver. Protection, as exemplified in modern Republican measures, does not protect agriculture. It takes from agriculture the difference between the world's highest price and the world's lowest price, and it gives nothing substantial in return. FRANK J. CANNON, EDITOR. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS . A friend writes to ask if there is any personal reason why Senator Reed Smoot should be deprived of his seat in the upper house of Congress. Presuming that personal in this iuquiry relates to Mr. Smoots Mr. Smoot character, the answer is No. of in and his associates unite saying him, what has often been declared in these columns, that he is one of those rarely blameless natures which can challenge scrutiny and defy criticism. If, by any chance (as is pronounced impossible upon intimate information) he should be removed, his virtues Would plead like angels, trumpet tongued, against The deep damnation of his talcing off. A second inquiry is, Whether his religion would be any legitimate excuse for unseating No. To quote the words of a learned him? The manifest object of the commentator: men who framed the institutions of this country was to have a state without religion. There being no state religion, there can be no tabooed religion within the law. Upon what ground, Answers to this be he will if any, expelled? question are found in the charges which were presented to him by the committee on privileges and elections, and which have been published in full in these columns. A condensed reply might be extracted from the utterance of the same learned commentator who is He says: The manifest quoted above. object of the men who framed the institutions a church of this country was to have The third inquiry is: - without politics." 1 Senator Chauncey Depew has been tell- ing the Rockefeller bible class that there are one hundred thousand millionaires in the United States. If this be true and Senator Depew is an expert on millionaires then the millionaires of this country own more than all the property of the United States. This is a little annoying to the rest of American citizens who, by these statistics, are figured out of having anything. It is extremely doubtful if the statement is correct; but at any rate it may comfort the poor people to know that the millionaites do not pay all the taxes for this country, for the large majority of the public revenue is derived from the class. non-milliona- ire RIVAL RECOLLECTIONS MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 1904 L"JOC,"",""JOCr; 3( 0 ..GRAND..
