The Republican party LAW, protects the American laborer and the capital invested to create It may Le somewhat of a and doubtless will lie, to the labor. The democratic party, many of our readers to learu the by the above and similar laws, prodemocrats are iu favor of bounties. tects the capitalist and money But such ia the case. We do not lender who is now getting all the mean that that party is in favor way from twelve to twenty-fou- r of giving bounties for the upbuild- per cent, per annum upon his ing and maintenance of home in- property his money loaned and dustries or any thing in that line, or paying no taxes- This is unfair; for anything which will be for it is unjust, for there is no propthe advancement of our fair Terri- erty that can better afford to pay tory, or benefit a majority of its tax than money loaned at a high her people. Indeed we would not rate of interest state anything like that for it Another argument, or rather would be a libel on Truth and talk, used by democrats in favor Justice, but the lust session of our of this unjuBt law is, that if the Legislature passed a bounty law, money lender had to pay taxes on his money, he would increase the all the same. This Legislature, which all rate of interest to the extent of the : know was democratic to the very taxes he paid, if this was true, then DEMOCRATIC sur-pris- - i core, passed a real bounty law, and the law was a real democratic law, too. Of course they refused ' to extend the bounty on Bugar, because they said u was undemocratic," and they did not do anything else to encourage any kind of home manufacturing, because to do so was undemocratic." This democratic bounty law-- , however, was strictly democratic, so it went through with a whoop. This democratic bounty law, as stated! wa not for the encouragement of any kind of home enterprise, it was not intended to place the people of Utah on a more firm footing than they already are, but was for a far different purpose, therefore was democratic." It whs for the sole ' and only purpose of exempting the capitalist and money leudei from paying taxes on his money loaned and secured by mortgage. This is just as much a bounty as if the Legislature lmd paid bach to the capitalist aud money-leudthe amount of his money and tax year. The principal reason, yrfher excuse, democrats give for enacting this liuunty law is We cannot tax the money loaned in this Tenilory by eoph living in New lin k, aud to compel our money loaners to iay taxer places them iu unfair annjntitinu with the New York money louder.

They want him to haw i. moiiolnpy on the money loaning business, that he may, Hliylock like, deuiaud lus own rate of in . terest, and aside from this they J exempt his money from taxation, and compel you who are oblige, to borrow money from him will which to keep your children doth eil and your funiily iu the jiecrv-saiirof life, 10 pay Ins taxes. What do you think of the luw? It's strictly democratic. jf It seems then, that the parly is in favor of a ccrtaii: of kind J protection." They want to protect" the moiiey-lemlof the of money-lendUtah, against New York and elsewhere. This is protection-democra- tic protection; therefore not tlie kiud of pro ei enr--fully- . - la-i- s er er tlie rate of iu terest would have lieeu reduced when this law was passed; but interest was not reduced upon the passage of that law, but on the contrary it has been getting higher ever since, until now, it cannot be hail even at any rate of interest or on any security. Theres notliiug in Buch talk. But even if their argument was true, which we by no means admit, it would still make the mortgage tax law a bounty, but it would then be a bounty to the money borrower, and the people at large would still be deprived of tlie revenue for the benefit of the money borrowers. In any event, and in whatever way you might construe it, it if a bounty law to protect the money Under or the borrower, because by reason of its provisions the Territory, counties, and cities are deprived of thousands of dollars of revenue every year, tliat they are entitled to from this class of properly. It is a partisan, unjust law and operates against the great majority of the jmople, and especially the poor people of this Territory. Voters, when you go to the polls Tuesday next, vob against this .mil other unjust lawB, by voting or tho men who are pledged to work for their repeal the Republican candidates. We find that the llepubli can party of Utah first took steps for tlie return of this stolen property, aud that a Republican supreme court decided it should be returned. We further find that not one Republican iu Congress opposed the returning of tlie stolen property. After the democrats found out that the Cliurch property would be returned whether they made any favorable move or not, they finally concluded they would restore part of the stolen goods. Now, the democratic party is endeavoring to make political capital out of this very thing. If a thief steals your money and after he has had it for years he sees fit to return part of it are you to thank him for his generosity ? Rather would you not condemn him for stealing what he did? If au assassin Bteals up behind you cut off one of your anus would you feel like thanking him for aparing the other, or would you condemn him for doing tlie irreparable damage he already had done? We contend that you would feel more like condemning him for injuries done you. It's human nature aud you certainly would follow its instincts. Then why should the democratic party receive credit for stealing the churcL property, keeping it for a few years, and after tens of thousands of dollar had been spent in employing lawyers to fight the case, paying receivers salaries and s lending vast sums of the money in numert ous other ways, they finally to return the remainder of the same goods they had Btoleu and apparently think the people are under everlasting obligations to them on tliat account Away with such fa Iso doctrine!

In all seriousness, aud with an earnest desire to learu the true stahi of affairs to which local democracy has stooped, we desire to ask our democratic friends a few plain questions.

He is best man for the positmu in the county. He is a fanner and fully understands the wants and needs of bin fellow farmer, and he'll work zealously for them, too. You cerHiiuly cannot do belter than to vote for Mr, Lowe. The gentleman for the lower bouse, W. 8. Hansen, is also a good man. Mr. Hansen has been engaged quite extensively in the manufacturing business for many years and is a man for the people. Tho Republicans did well to put up the name of F. W. Fishhurn for superintendent of schools. He is a comparatively young man, but fully capable of filling tho office successfully. There is nothing pxrxiinoni-ou- s or narrow contracted about Mr. Fishburn, and lie undoubtedly will run way ahead ol his ticket and have a walk-ovover his ioliticul opponent. The c.ity ticket is also a good one. N. 1. Anderson was nominated for Mayor; L. T. Fierce, R. L. Fishburn, Jr., W. L.

To give our friends, Republicans and democrats alike, an hies of how our city' ticket is viewed from tho outside by those who arc acquainted, we quote from Sunday's issue of the Ogden &(ih (hint : The Republicans of Logan made a sensible choice wheu they uuincd Janies Quayle for Mayoi of our bright northern neighlxn. Mr. (junyle is distinctly a man of, and for, the people. lie is h man of strict integrity whoso administration in the past has save to the citizens of Logan thousands of dollars. Able and honest, In has conducted the affairs of the city in such a business way tlmt his career has won, for him the uoulidence of the whole community, and they will re elect him. Hon. Geo. W. Thatcher, who has been selected for the mayoralty by the democrats, is uot a man from the ranks. He lias held himself aloof from the general the finer surmosses, hidden-iroundings of his accumulated wealth. To drug him out of this position is a mistake of his friends, which will aid in defeating the democratic party on November 7 th. The Republicans will carry Logan. All tho men chosen for their municipal ticket, are ' tin! ie?rs of tlie democratic nominees, and the Republieaus linve besides u majority of vuti-rto bear them mi to victory.

He has the inulicnuble right of freedom iu thought and in so long as lie (lues not interfere with the rights of others. But consistency and the fitness of things places K bar between the position of an ardent political worker and the office of principal of an institution like the Brigham Young College. Fair minded men of both political faiths do and will condemn such a union. It hurls the usefulness of the institution. It is bii injustice to a lurge portion of its patrons. not a cold critic, but a advisor. 4. A lie is a resident of Logan liis olfii-'will b.: here.
