Show THE SURRENDER OF GEORGE Q. CANNON. The news of George Q. Cannons appearing in the Third District Court before Judge Sanford at Salt Lake City last H mday morning has been received by everybody in the Territory and telegraphed as well to ali parts of the world. It has been the sensation of the week and the action has been commented on and the probable cause and likely result have been discusoed to the satisfaction of all, hence an extended article at this late date is hardly called for. A few remarks here will not be out of place here however. Owing to the intense animosity that has been engendered and worked up against the mor-- . mans, which lawmakers havo taken upon themselves to foBter by passing laws affecting some of the tenets of their religion, manv of Utahs best men havo b&en compelled to hide thon)8elvs in order to escape punishment, and in the most of the casts, vindictive punish-Imenfor their convictions. Takof this condition of advantage ing affairs, shrewd politicians and tiicks-ter- s , BASE BALL. J We understand that the long talked of game between the U. C. boys and Nephi Athletics has been definitely set for Saturday Sept. 29. We would say by way of advice, boys, get out and shake off some of the dust thrown on you by the Provo Alerts, or the U. C. boys will not only threaten to annihilate you as did the Alerts during the first five innings but will bury you sa deep that your laurels, snatched almost miraculously from the latter team, will be so completely hidden from public gaze as to darken prospec s even as the blackness of midnight. Remember you have the best .wishes for success from the sport lovers throughout the whole county, so go in and win and wo promise that congratulations from extending the fair sex will be so freely given that the little time spent in pi'uctjcing will be looked upon as time passed pleas-entland profitably to you all. If you can succeed in gotting one of the San Pete teams to meet you at Oskeys Meadows on Monday 24, inst. it will be splendid practice for you and will furnish amusement fora great many of our excursionists and at the same time afford you an opportuity to regain some of the laurels which tjiey have wrenched from your grasp and winch they seem determined to retain even if they have to bury them to do so. Why cant some of our moneyed sport lovers offer a purse of say $25 or $30 for the use of the club in defraying expenses to be paid them if they win and to be if they lose? This would encourage the boys to play for al they are worth and would be but : trifle to the donners. free wool. plied in other countries, which have no tariff on raw wool, but they have not multiplied in the United States, The little country of England, with fewer square miles than Utah has. contains 30,000,000 sheep. How does that strike you as a result of free wool? Germany, France, Austria, and Italy, the policy of each being largely protection, agree on placing no tariff on raw wool, though all raise sheep. . - For NEPHI WOOL GROWERS. from Pennsylvania, said in 1886. Let the raw material (wool) come in. Let us make blankets that will drive out English blankets. Remember, these were the wrords of the rankest protectionist in the country. What, ho! Mr. Varian, have you time to answer the foregoing? I quite agree with Mr. Varian that iu-gshould go on the free list; but whose fault is it that sugar ever got protected? It was Republican support that enacted the sugar tarriff outrage, and the Democrat will yet give us free sugar also. As was expected, Mr. Varian refuses to talk of wool, and talks of steamships subsidies, sugar bounties, a happy nation, and England, vast One thing at a . time, if you please. I shall take pleasure in discussing each of of these subjects in turn with any Nephi Republican, or with Mr. Varian himself; but each must be taken seDarately so that there will be less chance of dodging the issue. The challenge is open, gentle' ar Russia, and other'eountries. It is due to the inventive genius of the age, not to taxation. So much for the steel-rai- l item; but if any Republican desires to discuss steel rails further, let us hear from him. One word further about Mr. Varians wool statistics. He says, "Last year we raised about 270,000,000 lbs; we imported 114,000,000 lbs." This is only half the truth. Besides importing the above stated amount for raw wool, we also imported 87,500,000 pounds of wool in woolen and worsted goods. There were 35V 000,000 pounds of clip (or grease) wool used in making these goods, estimating only four pounds of wool to the pound of doth. The wool imported after twenty years of "exclusion of that article is nearly twice the total home product in amount; and over twise the home product in value. Mr. Varian, no doubt, had these facts in his mind when he said The theory of the Republican party is to exclude everv foreign article or product that can be made or produced in our own country. Yes, but the theories of the G. O. P. dont work in practice. Mr. Vartan's Predicament. The Record What Free Wool Means. of the Wool Market.
