' rUOTECTlVE TAILIVF MAKES THE UlCII UICHElt AND THE BOOK l'( lOKER.

High tariff makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. What prosperity 't lives a country is not enjoyed by the masses but by the monopolies. Enquirer, Friday, January Jan-uary 3(1, 1891. THE FOUCE BILL A CUBSE. Once airain the Force i- ll is la:il on tlie table, which vtrtu'y means tli-deatli tli-deatli of it. Tins tim- i is hi'd aside (in account of the anpoi tionn.ent bill. Republicans ffiund that tlmimh np Deiuocrais are in the minority, they could kill the lime of the Senate to perfection. As measures of importance just new await the attention ot the Senate they are compelled to lay aside the bill that is so obnoxious to the country at Un tie. As the last davs of Congress are at hand it will be so much harder to pass the bill; and we hope that it is shelved for good. It is a measure that would brill" a crrse on this our fair land.

'Riht in most things honest in all thinjrs,: is the wav Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, sums up our only U rover, ex-President of the United States. Honest and right, however, were the remaiKSof Mr Cleveland in buffalo the other niaht, when he attacked the billion dollar Conaress. (Jrover is a mar. of the people, and he is not in the least backward in proclaiming their rights . Enquirer, Thursday, May 14, 1S91. I BKOKEN PROMISES NOTHING NEW TO THE REPUBLICAN PAKTV. So it seems that the administration had to promise that the McKinley tariff tar-iff act would be amended so as to admit ad-mit Cuban tobacco free in order to negotiate ne-gotiate tlie reciprweitv agreement with Spain. The Democratic House will have to decide whether this promise shall be kept or not. and the administration adminis-tration was a little theeky. to sa the least of it. in making such a promise; but broken promises are nothing new to the Republican v.iry. Emjuircr, Wednesday, May 20. ISM. ' Statehood For Utah. This is the way the IJoston Globe talks about the admission of Utah to the Union: The Territory of Utah is knocking at the door of tlie Union and demanding demand-ing Statehood. The demand should be granted. The Mormons have abandoned polygamy, poly-gamy, and thus tl e only decent argument argu-ment for keeping out the most populous popu-lous ol the Teniiories is no longer of any force. Moreover, the increase of the' "Gentile" population has been so much greatei of late years than that of the Mormons that there is no longer anv danger that the latter could for-tiiv for-tiiv Tiolvirnniv with constitutional guarantees even if they wished to do so. Congress has admitted Montana, with a population of lo2.(K)(): South Dakota, with 323,000; North Dakota, with 182.000; Idaho, with Si 000; Washington, Wash-ington, with 340.000; and Wyomimr. with 60,000. Utah has a population of 2f8,000, and is growing as fast as any of the new Slates. Utah h:is in reality been kept out bacause it was supposed to be Democratic, Demo-cratic, .--o have New Mexico and Arizona. Ari-zona. Rut there ought not to he any politics in a matter of this - ' . It has always been the pol cy ' this country to make Territories into Slates as soon as thev have sufficient population. The three Territories that are out have larger population than three of Ihe States tiiat are in. It is time to adiiit these three also, and especially Utah. One of the incidental inci-dental advantages wouhl be six new Democratic Senators, and ten or eleven new Democratic electoral votes. PROTECTIVE TA111FF A GRAND SYSTEM. SYS-TEM. The history of the prosperity of our country is co-existent with the grand system of tariff brought about by the Republican party, and every student of the history of this country is bound to confess the great advantages derived de-rived from the protection of our home I industries against foreign monoplies, ; foreign capital and foreign cheap labor. la-bor. Enquirer, June 12, 1891. Note The 'History of this Country' Coun-try' sp iken of was probably lost on January 80th, last. We are a safe and conservative adviser you know! IT IS ERRONEOUS. There are people who believe the country de-: de-: rives no benefit from a protective tariff, tar-iff, and that the luty is a tax that mast necessarily be paid in full by the consumer. There w as never a theory in. ire erroneous. Enquirer, June 12, 1S01. The fact is that Republican tariff and reciprocity have given to American farm products, both home and abroad, a wider market than ever before in the history of the country, and more grain is laised and consumed. Enquirer, En-quirer, June 12. 1S91. Again the "History of the Country" bobs serenely up. Pity it couldn't have been found before. Protection is decidedly in favor of the workingmen, and it is chiefly to maintain the high standard ot the wages paid the American laborers that tariff is a necessity. Enquirer, June 16, 1S91. NOTE. The Enquirer is coming easy on it "id hasn't yet tried to defend the i r-u ce bill, show that Republicans tell th j truth, and speak of our "only dearest dear-est Uennie," but it will get "thar" if you just .give it, time. |
