It believesthatthe sixty-four millions of our peoplo should spendtheirmoney where it will hiild up the business of the country, maintain our growing population and widen the lome markets for the products of the wostern famn. A luge md damorous delegation of men like the estemed Mr, Bemheiner appeared before the ways anl mans wmmittee and prolsted against the MeKinley bill. When asked by the chairmn if they wer Amoricancitinns they wiformly replied: “No, we be- longg in Europe, but are in New York to nn our American branches’” The Me- Kinley billis designel to givetheman opportunityto mn brnehes in Europe, while patrittie Americansrun the min lousesin Ameriea.

There isa small faction of the party, still faithfulto the teachings of the late Samuel J, Rudall, which stands for a degree of protetion to American industries and labor, but it is aminoity so meagre that its voiceof protestagainst the attitudo of the con- trolling element is wholly without in- flience, Governor Hill of Now York suid ina speceh at Canton, Ohio, that the democrtie party dos not desive free trade, hut against thisussertion can bonrrayed in refitatin the arguments and policy propomndedby Carlisle, Mills, and others, who represent the numevical stongth ad real sentiment of the democtacy. Notall ofthese leaders have the full courage of their ‘convictions and boldly define their rel position, but among those who have is the author of the turiff Vil inthe Fiftieth congress, M. Roger Q. Mills, whose speoches in the present canpaign have left no doubt of his belief in abswlute freetrade But the clanest and clearest statement of the reul democratic position comes from anOhlo democrat who is at least the peer of the Texas statesman in ability, and who has far more cournge and can- dor than the great majority of his pa Ina reent intoview ex-Congrossman Frank .

The democratic candidate in the Twentyfirst congress district of Ohlo is ndvouting abutut: free trade, andin the east the nomination of such prowouned free traders as David A Wells inConnecticut and Dr. Everctt in Musachusetts are signilcant pointers indicating democratic policy. ry canlidato of the democracy throughout the comtryso fie s wo have observed, the candidate in the Flint district of Nebraska ineluded, is travelingin the same dircction. Some, wanting in cowrage and candor, have not gon so far a8 others toward the frao trade goil, butall are on the course that inovitably loads toit. Therecan b but onclogiel result, absolute free trade, of the democratic policy,and the nmen of coungemd emdor in that party do not hesitate o adnit this. The real ques tionbefore the people of the coutry, therefore, is not the mesure of prot tion, but whether there shall continue to beany protedtion to Ametican indu tries and labor, A CAMPAT One of Spaker Reeds meetings in Illinois was opencl bythe singing of that grand old miional hymn, “Amerien,” bya congrogation of eight thowsand peole. This incddent fur nishes ngood suggestion for the republi- cansin Nebraskn and eetloverthe uion, There coulibe no more appropriate thing than thesinging of “*Ameria’ by evary ropublian meeting hold during this campaign, and it woull be gool practicefor 182, whenthat hymn will have a signifiance still more clearly de- fined forthe peopleof this comtry.

How politics are all lict own. The present contest is carried on amilst groat excitement, but thereis no talkof republicans and democrats. The battle is between the liberals andthe saints. The liberal candidate for delegate in congress is Iaditor Goodwin of the Salt Lake Trile. 1t isa very appropiate nomination. He hasfought the battles of tho gentilesfor a grew many years. Before hisaggressive and persistent at- tacks thre Mormon iniguities have fullen back slowly, sullenly but surely. His election tothe highest office in Utah’s gift woull have a meanng not to be misunderstood cither at home or abroad. It would meanthat the political power of the Mormonsin Utah had fallen and thatrothing vemained to bar thepro- gressof that rich territory toward the splendid development that for years has awaited the removalof the blot onher shield, Julge Goodwin makes the issue inthe prest ampaign perfe dear. Po- lyamy has beon removed, but Camon, Sthepremier of the church,” still in- sistsupon thesolidurity of the Mormon By thatattitude he confessesthat hstill has objects to tain in polit that itstill has anin- est in wielding asa solid whole the votesof s followers and maintaining the powerof aprivale government inthe midstof a govemnment which recognizes 1o distinctions of race, eliss or reli helief, The liberals ingist that the Mormons shall take theirchurch ot of poli bodily and leave their grat folowing to mixwithall other citizens in malters which only properly concern the wellare of Utah asa part of the republic of the United State On this vital issue Julge Goodwin speaks editorially as follows: Itwill g thwough the alightnment of peaccor itwill g0 thwugh the barbarity of war. It isfor the Momon wople themsves to dedide whether they will disenthrall them- 1vesor whether they will hold this terror over the Idrn through anolber guer- ation, The result of the clection in Utahwill be awaitel with much interest. But the ultimate outcome is not tobe ques- tioned. The Mormonchurch will sooner o®later come down, or up, tothe plat- form of all other religious denomina- tions, Ttwill vorship Gol according to the dictates of its own conscience, but it will leavethe affairsof st in Utah as everywhere else, to be managed by citi- ons irrespective o chureh divisions.
