Jerome licruhelmcr said today tea a pi-ess reporter that the llrm wore com pelled to close out Imsincss because of the prohibitory tariff raised in the now law against the roods which the firm imports. This is doubtless a good campaign argument for free traders.

A. largo aud clamorous delegation of men like tlio esteemed Mr. Bernhoimer appeared before the ways and means committee and protested against the MeKinloy bill.

Andovon the free traders confess that the law \vorks like n charm. TIlfiKKM , IJKilOCHA'CK Z'OSJWO.V. IJy whatever moans tlio democratic party may endeavor to disguise Its jxwi- tlon regarding the Usual policy of the country , it IB unquestionable that the dominant element in that party the clement whicli controlled the last national convention and will control the next , which is all-powerful on the lloors of congress , and which embraced the leaden-sand managers of tlio parly is In favor ef absolute , uncompromising free trade. There is a small faction of the party , btllllalthfulto the teachings ot the late Samuel J. Kindall , wliich stands for a degree of protection to .American industries and labor , but it is n minority so meagre that its voicoof protest against the attitude of the con trolling element is wholly without in- Ihionco. Governor IIlll of Now York said in a speech at Canton , Ohio , that the democratic party does not doslro free trade , but against this assertion can bonrrayod In refutation the arguments and policy propounded by Carlisle , Mills , and othera , who represent the numerical strength anil real seutlmonl of the democracy. Not all of these loaders have the full courajjo of their 'convictions and boldly define their real position , but among those who have is the author of the tariff bill in the Fiftieth congress , Mr. Ilojror Q. MlllB , whoso speeches in the present campaign have left no doubt of Ills belief in absolute free trade. Hut the cleanest anil clearest statement of the real democratic position comes from imOhlo democrat vho ia at least the lKor ot the Texas statesman in ability , and who hnsfnr more courage and can dor than the great majority of Ills party. In a recent interview e.x-ConKrossinnii Frank II. Kurd wont to the farthest limit in advocacy of free trade. Ho vould provide for tlio needs of the gov ernment by excise taxes on liquors and tobacco ami by tinincoiuo tux oil Incomes ever five thousand dollars , If these revenue ahould not produce enough to meet the expenses of the ROT * eminent , Mr. Ilurd vould consent to n customs duty , provided It vroro levied only on articles thut do not enter Into competition wUh. American Industrie ; . Ho would put a tax on coffee and tea , for example "because they are not grown la America , and tiuliifj them cannot in any conceivable way bcnollt any American producer , Any further taxes thai mljhi bo nocos- fmry ho would confine to articles now on the free list. The democratic candlduto in the "Twenty-first congress district of Ohio iw advocating iiuwtut ) free trade , and in tlio east tlio nomination ot such pronounced free traders us David -A. "Wells in Connecticut and Dr. Kvorott in Massachusetts are significant pointers Imllcatinir democratic policy. Jlvory candidate of the democracy throughout the countryBO , fur as wo luuo observed , the candidate in the Pi rut district of Nebraska Included , is traveling in the Hamo direction. Some , wiiiillnjrln , courage ntid candor , have not gene so far us others toward tlio f roe trade goal , but all are on Iho courtto that inevitably loads toll. Thorowvii bo but ono logical result , absolute free trade , of the democratic policy , and the nion of courage and candor in that party do not hosllalo to admit this. The real ques tion before the people of the country , therefore , is not the measure of protec tion , but whether there ahull continue to bo any protection to American Indus tries and labor. GX SI7 fJBSWO.V. Ono of Speaker Ueed'tf meetings in Illinois was opened by the uluglnff of that grand old national hymn , "America , " by a congregation ot eight thousand pooplo. This incident fur- niylies H good suggestion for the republi cans in Jfobr.wkaand Jrtl ever the union. There could bo no more appropriate thing tlian the singing ot "America" by every republican mooting hold during this campaign , uwl it would bo good practice for 1S92 , when that hymn will have a significance still more clearly do- 11 licit for the people of tills country , The republican party stands firmly on u policy wliich attempts to preserve the American markets for American labor , Auiericim onlerprisoaml American capi tal. In following out that policy It lias aroused the protest and opposition of the nations of JSuropowho have hitherto fattened on tlVo profits ot our great markets. It is today engaged in a battle with the party which would throw down the barriers and. admit the products of "Europe to equal competition with the products of America. And in IStt ! ! , as in 1SSS , it will confront the ene mies of American industrial indepond- eiicoin a national election. "America" should bo the campaign song of the republican hosts from Maine to Oregon. It Is an appeal to patriotism closely in accord vlth tlio traditions of the party of Lincoln , Garfield and Elaine. As for the democrats , lot them ulnpr , "God Save the Queen. " They are doing their best to save our markets for her capital and clioap labor. THE ISSUE /A l/ZVUr.

The present contest is carried on amidst great excitement , hut there is no tallcof republicans and democrats. The battle is betcon. . the liberals and the saints. The liberal candidate for dolcgato in congress is Editor Goodwin of the Salt Lake 2Vi'm ( ic. It is a very appropriate nomination. Ho has fought the battles of the gentiles for n great many years. Before his aggressive and persistent at tacks the Mormon iniquities have fallen back slowly , sullenly but surely. His election to the highest olllco la TJtah'a gift would have a meaning not to bo misunderstood either at home or abroad. It vrould mean that the political power 6f the Mormons in Utah had. fallen and that nothing remained to bar the prepress - press of that rich territory toward the splendid development that for years ban awaited the removal of the blot on her shield. J'udfjo Goodwin malces the issue in the present campaign perfectly clear. Po lygamy has been removed , but Cannon , "tho premier of tlio church , " still in sists upon the solidarity of the Mormon vote. By that attitude lie confesses that the Mormon ehurch still has objects to attain in politics that it still has an in terest in wielding us a solid whole the votes of Its followers and maintaining the power of uprivnto government in tlio midst of a government wliich rcuognl/.es no distinctions of race , class or religious bol ief. The liberals lapist that the Mormons shall take their church out of politics bodily ntidleavo their great following to mix with all other clti/.ens in matters which only properly concern the welfare of Utah nsa part of the republic of the United States. On this vital i&sue.Tudgo Goodwin spoaUseditorially as follows : It will eo through the enlightenment ot poacoor It will fie through tlio barbarity of war. It is for tlio Mormon people themselves to decide \vliothortliey will disenthrall them selves or-whether they will hold this terror ever their children through another gener ation. Tlip result of the election inUtalnvill bo awaited with much intercut. Bm the ultimata outcome is not to bo ques tioned. The Mormon church will sooner oialutor come down , or up , to the plat form of all other religious denomina tions , It will worship God according to tlio dictates of its own conscience , hut it will leiivotho affairs of state , in Utah as everywhere else , to bo managed byclti- zuns irrespective of church divisions And It will obey tlio sovereign govern ment of the TJnltod Statos. Till' enthusiasm of the voters for the democratic county ticket is so market that great dllllculty is nxporlonced in cHtralnlng the people from pouncing on it before election day.
