the husband, and this error) lias been
brought about by the want of correct
views of tho dictates of nature. We
will point out examples of this: In
going through adoor tho wife passes
first and the husband follows her;
the wife takes tlie best, seat and the
husband the next best; In visiting,
the wife is first saluted; in forms of
address, the wife is first mentioned.
Moreover, while men are in the com

Few subjects have inspired tho

have essayed to perpetuate in glow*

ferocity. No event in tlm drama of

the horror of its details than tho mas

St, Bartholomew. But none <>f these,'

Cruelly and treachery the massacre
of-ene hundred arid twenty men, wo
men, and children, by Mormons at
Mountain Meadows, Utah. The heart
revolts at believing that such things
can bo true. But true it is that tho
greatest crimes are committed In tho
guise of religion animated by a fa
naticism unworthy tho century in
which wo live. And no greater criti
cism on the injustice of courts of jus
tice is needed than the fact that this
massacre lias been unavenged, and
its perpetrators have been living in
the high places of the Mormon Tab
ernacle for eighteen years undis
turbed by the law. The famous soli!
oquy of Madame Roland, “Oh! jus
tice, how many crimes are committed
in thy name,” recursXo us with vivid
force. In tho name of an outraged
civilization let tho criminals now be
ing tried suffer the severest penalty
of the law. In its last analysis chari
ty means severity, Rather than allow
them to escape by the legal injustice
of a favorable verdict from a Mormon
jury, we can even wish that red
handed justice shall prevail. He that
lives by the sword should die by the
sword.

The Mountain Meadow Massacre.
The trial of John D. Lee in Beaver,
Utah, for participation in the Moun
tain Meadow massacre of 1837, prem
ises to have one good result, if no
other. Tho Judicial investigation will
afford the people an opportunity to
learn from authentic testimony the
true history of that revolting outrage.
The tragedy occurred at a time of
great excitement in Utah. Brigham
Young wa3 then Governor of the
Territory, and likewise Superinten
dent of Indian Affairs, having re
ceived his appointment to those offi
ces from President Fil more, though
Alfred Cuming, with a commission in
his pocket from President Buchanan,
whs on his way to supercede him us
Governor, accompanied by a military
force of about three thousand men,
under the command of Col. Albert
Sidney Johnson, to enforce his
claims. There hod been great turbu
lence in Utah; numerous outrages ou
emigrants by persons in the guise of
Indians had been ascribed to the
Mormons; and theOentilo Judges of
tlie Federal courts had all left the
Territory, which in fact was in a state J
of rebellion. The question of armed
resistance to the troops was seriously
discussed, though subsequently tills
Idea was abandoned.
During the period of excitement,
namely, in August, 1857, a large train
of emigrants on their way t.o Califor
nia reached Salt Lake City. It was
the finest train tiiat had ever at
tempted the overland route. Several
elegant carriages were among the
vehiclos, for tlie accommodation of
ladles of the party, and there were
many women ami children in the
train. It is said that tho finest of
those carriages was for years after
wards used by a family of Mormons.
After laying in their supplies in Salt
Lake City, this party proceeded to
wards California, and that win the
last that was known of them for a
long time. It, was fully a year before
any of their friends received the least
intimation of their fate.
Throe hundred miles from Salt
Lake, on tlie road to Los Angeles,
California, is a meadow live miles in
length by one iu breadth, with a very
fine spring atone end, affording an
excellent camping ground. Hero the
emigrant party encamped in order to
recruit their stock before entering
upon what was then called-the Great
Desert, and here, in tlie mouth of
September, the massacre took place.
Aeeordnig to tlie commonly accept
ed story of tho slaughter, the emi
grants were attacked while encamp
ed by Indians, who had been set
upon them by Alortnons, and by Mor
mons disguised as Indians, and ten
or twelve men were killed before any
one understood that they were in
danger. Tho remainder of the party
at once seized their arms, intrenched
themselves behind their wagons, and
prepared fora determined resistance.
For a week, with their women and
children lying in the trenches they
had dug, the emigrants maintained
their position, ami kept their ene
mies at bay. Then the Mormons re
solved on strategy. The tiring by
the Indians ceased, and the besieged
party, looking up the meadow, saw
a wagon full of while men eomitng
towards them. These men proved to
be John 1). Leo ami oilier Mormon
dignitaries, who offered to mediate
with the Indians. As the Mormon
and Indians were known to be on
good term*, the offer was gladly
accepted, and after Lee and liis as
sociates had conferred with tho nt
aeking party of savages,it was agreed
that thoeimgrants shouldsurrreuder
their arms and other property, and
return by tho road they came. Tlie
Mormons ou their part promised to
guard and protect the party until
they should reach the settlements.
Having given up their arms, the
emigrants left their wagons and
stock ami started northward on foot.
The women and children were in
front, the men followed, and in the
rear was a guard of forty Mormons.
Hardly had tilts sorrowful procession
started on its way when a tire, was
poured into them from an ambush,
followed by an attack from tho Mor
mons in tho rear, and in a few min
utes one hundred men, women and
children lay slaughtered upon the
ground. Seventeen of the youngest
children wore saved and adopted bv
Mormon families, and it is said that
three men esoaped immediate death.
But one of these was afterward mur
dered by the Indians, another starved
to.death, and another was killed
upon the Colorado, though by whom
it is not known.
The evidence produced In the pend
ing trial all goes to show that, this
account of tlie massacre is substan
tially correct. Philip K. Smith, one
of the defendants, who was a Mor
mon bishop ut tho time of the mas
sacre, appeared as State’s evidence,
and gave a full description of the
slaughter with all its horrible de
tails, as well as an account of tho de
liberations among the Mormon lead
ers which preceded the butchery, in
which, against his will as he says, he
was forced to participate. The mas
sacre was resolved upon bv Mormon
bishops and councillors, Lee and \Y.
H. Dame being among the most con
spicuous in planning and executing
the crime. The description which
Smith gives of the slaughter fully
confirms all that has heretofore been
reported of its barbarous character.
In 1869, Judge Cradlebaugh, a Fed
eral judge appointed by Buchanan.
attempted to bring tho perpetrators
of this horrible crime to justice, but
fuilod. It is doubted whether the
present trial will result In tlie convic
tion of Leo aud ills associates, since
eight- of the injurs are .Mormons;

THH PUKED OP I KEE TU ADE.
IDO FOREIGNERS PAY A POKTION OP OPII
TAXES ON IMROUTS V
[f’OKTimiKK.J
It is often asserted by the udvo
cates of protection that a tariff on
imports “obliges a foreigner to pay a
part of our taxes.” To this it may be
replied that if there were any plan or
device by which one nation could
thus throw off its burden of taxation
in any degree upon another nation,
it would long ago have been univer
sally found out and recognized, aud
would have been adopted by all iiu
tious to at least the extent of malting
the burden of taxation thus transfer
red In all cases reciprocal. If the
principle involved in the proposition
in question, therefore, could possibly
be true, no advantage whatever could
accrue from its application. But tlie
point itself involves an absurdity.
Taxes on imports arc paid by the
persons who consume them; and
these are not foreigners, but resi
dents of tlie country into which the
commodities ure Imported. A duty
on imports may injure foreigners by
depriving them of an opportunity of
exchanging their products for the
products of tho country Imposing the
duty, but no import tax will for any
length of time compel foreigners to
sell their products at a loss, or toue
cept less than the average rate of
profit on their transactions; for no
business can permanently maintain
itself under such conditions. Where
a nation possesses a complete monop
oly of an article, as is tins ease of
Peru in respect to guano, and to a
great extent witli China in the ease of
lea, the monopoly always obtains
the highest practicable price for its
commodity, and the persons who
find its use indispensable are obliged
to pay tlie prescribed prices. The
imposition of a tax on the importa
tion of such a commodity into a
country may Compel tho monopoly,
for thesakeof reluiningu market, to
reduce its prices proportionately,
and iu such cases tho nation impos
ing the Impost may to a degree share
tlie profit of tho monopoly. But the
price to tiie consumers is not dimin
ished by reason of the import, duty,
and the cases in which any interest
has such a complete control over the
supply of a product as to enable it
arbitrarily to dictate price's are so
rare as hardly to render them worthy
of serious consideration in an econo
mic argument.
THE PEACE AND WAR A ROE ME NT.
Another powerful argument in fu
voi of Free Trade between nations is
that of all agencies it is the one most
conducive to tho maintenance of in
ternational peace and to t iie preven
tion of wars. Tlie restriction of com
mercial intercourse among nations
tends to make men strangers to each
other, and prevents tlie formation of
that union of material interests which
creates aud encourages in men a dis
position to adjust t heir diffi ruuees by
peaceful methods rather than by
physical force. On tin- other hand it
requires no argument to prove that
Free Trade iu its fullest development
tends to make men friends rattier
than strangers, for the more they ex
change commodities and services the
more they become acquainted with
and assimilated toeuctiother; whore
by a feeling of interdependence and
mutuality of interest springs up,
which, it may be safely assumed,
does more to maintain amicable rela
tions between them than all the shins
of war that ever were built or all the
armies that ever were organized. Of
the truth of this the experience of
England and tlie United States in
respect to tho Alabama claims is a
striking example. The moral and
religious sentiments of the people of
the two countries undoubtedly con
tributed much to restrain the beligor
ent feelings that existed previous to
the reference of the claims to arbitra
tion; but a stronger restraining cle
ment than all, and one underlying
and supporting the moral and re
ligious Influences, was a feeling
among .the great body of the people
of the two nations that war, in aj
mere business transaction, “would!
not pay and that the commerce and I
trade of tlie United States and Great ;
Britain are so interlinked and inter-!
woven that a resort to arms would re
suit in permanent impoverishment j
to both countries. One argument,
however, in favor of I’l oteetioh, which
is said to take stronger hold on tlie ]
popular mind than almost any other,
is the asserted necessity of artificial
ly, stimulating by legislation all man
ner of domestic industries, in on.lt r
that the country may not lie depend
ent on other nations for martial
requisites in case of possible foreign
war. Tlie first answer to this aver- '
meat is, that whatever may have been '
our condition heretofore, the power!
of production at present in the Uui-i
teu States is so great, so varied and
so permanently established that it is
hardly possible to conceive of a eon
tlugenoy Iu which tin* nation could
be Inconveniencod by a deficiency of
any material requisite for the carry
ing on of war, with the exception of
the two commodities, gold and salt
petre ; und it will uot be pretended by
any one that the domestic supply of
either of these articles can lie advan
tageously Increased by restricting
their importation. Second, witli u
vigorous, patriotic population, espe
cially if the same be supplemented,
as in the ease of England and tiie
United States, with favorable natural
renditions for defence, that Unyon,
under our present eivilizatiou. will
lie most invulnerable in war which
can incur and sustain tlie greatest
and longest continued expenditure,
or which, in other words, is possessed
of the greatest national wealth, lint
national wealth increases in a ratio
proportioned to tlie removal of obsta
cles in tlie way of tho development of
trade, commerce ami all productive
industries, whether such obstacles be
in tlie nature of bad roads, high
mountains, impenetrable forests,
trackless deserts, popular prejudices
or legal commercial restrictions,
which impede a free interchange of
commodities and services. During
tlie late civil war the Confederate
States, although deficient iu almost
all the so-called manufacturing indus
tries, wit ha population trained almost
exclusively to agriculture, aud with
all their main lines of intercommuni
cation with the external world block
aded, nevertheless managed to obtain
at all times adequate military sup
plies for conducting great campaigns
so long as they were able to pay for
them, and filially succumbed to tiie
financial rather than to tlie physical
power of their antagonists. Upon
this same point tlie example of Hol
land is also most instructive. From
the commencement,of their existence
as a nation the Dutch not only made
their countrv an asylum for the op
pressed of ail nations, but they took
especial earo that their trade, indus
tries and all commercial exchanges
should be “unfettered, unimpeded
and unlegislated upon," and this,
too. while all the rest of tiie civilized
world adopted a diametrically oppo
site policy. The result was that,
though possessing a most restricted
territory (about four hundred thous
and acres or arublo land i anil a limit
ed population (loss than two mil
lions;, they not only maintained their
independence against the combined
hosts of Spain, France uud Geruiuuy,
but for a time became the dominant
naval powur of tho world. Though
not raising a bushel of wheat, Hol
j land became file best place for Ee
’ rope to buy grain; though she did
| not possess an acre of forests, there
i was always more and better tlm bar
i to lie obtain'- i in ii'T ports than else
where; and though she smelled no
iron, and did not ruise a “sheaf of
I lieuip,” her Meets became the best
Ii hut sailed the seas; and all because,
to use tlie words of one of her states*
mihmi (Cornelius DeWitt, J 745 , “she!
had the wealth to pay for these com- j
uiodities,’’ and possessed this wealth
because trade and all exchanges
were left unimpeded.
WHY FREE TRADE IS NOT IMMEDIATELY
AND UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED.
But the question hero paturally
arises, If the above proposltions in
favor of Free Trade are correct, and
if tiie doctrine of protection is as
false and injurious as it is represent
ed to lie, how hupi>ens it that Free
Trade does not ut once meet with un
iversal acceptance '! and how is the
adherence of many men of clear in
tellect and practical experience to
the opposite doctrine to bo accounted
for ? One of tiie boat answers to
theao questions was given by the cel
ebrated French economist Bast Lit,
in un article written many vears ago,
entitled “That which is Seen and
That which is Not Seen,’’ in which
ho showed that protection Is main
tained mainly by a view, of what the
producer gains and a concealment of
what tlie consumer loses;and that if
the losses of the million were patent
and palpable as the profits of
tho few, no nation would tolerate
the system for a single day.
Protection accumulates upon a single
point tlie good which it effects, while
thoovil which it inflicts is infused
throughout tiie community as a
whole. The first result strikes the
eye at once; tho latter requires
some investigation to become
clearly perceptible. Mankind also
divide themselves into two classes
producers and consumers, buyers and
sellers. The interest of producers
and sellers Is that prices shall be
high, or that there shall be scarcity ;
tho interest of consumers and buyers
is that prices shall be low, or that
there shall be abundance. Every per
son will also at once admit that it is
for tlie general interest that there
shall be abundance, rather than scar
city. Butin tho case of individuals
controlling large agencies for produc
tion, their interest us producers and
sellers of large quantities of commo
dities maybe made greater than their
interest as consumers, if by the aid
of legislation tlie price of what they
produce can he raised, by discrimina
ting laws, disproportionately over
what, they consume, or to the cost of
production. Men of this class are
generally rich beyond tlie average oi
the community,and therefore influen
tial in controlling legislation and in
determining fiscal policies; and it is
but natural that in so doing they
should consult their own interests
rather than the interests of the mass
es. The time, however, is soon com
ing, when the people of the United
States “will wake as it were from a
dream, and ask who it was tiiat per
suaded them that the way to be rich
was for everybody to give as much as
possible for everything.”

dial Balm of Syricum, which ha* long been in the
old country the favorite remedy, and which,
since its introduction into this country, has dis
tanced all other medicines haring the same ob
ject in view.
Boston, July 15, 1874.
Dk. G. E. Lothrop: Dear Sir—l beg to Inform
you that I have been troubled with Nervous
Debility for the past twelve years, and have been
unable to obtain any relief until I purchased a
package of the Cordial Balm of Syricum at Mr.
Duncan's drug store, corner of Lcverett and
Green streets. The benefit derived from the use
of one package so far exceeded my expectations
that I address you this for publication, that
other suffers may avail themselves of the oppor
tunity to be cured. Yours truly.
John Ttjttle, Boston P. O.
Lanca-ster. May 14, 1873.
Dr. G. E. Lothrop: Dear Sir—l have used up
all the Cordial Balm ot Syricum and Touic Pil ls
that you let me have when yon first undertook
uiy cure, and I Am glad to be able to inform you
that, thus far, I have derived greater benefit
from it than from any ether medicine I have ever
taken in my life. I sleep better, and daily go
about my work without hesitation or fear. My
nerves are getting steadter every day, and if I
continue to improve as fast as I have done for the
last few mouths since I have been taking your
medicine, I have no doubt but that I shall soon
again be a wc.il man. With many thanks for the
good you have done me, I encloae $25 for which
please send me as before, five more bottle* ol the
Syricum and Pills, as I intend to keep up the use
of them until fully cured, as I believe I shall be.
Very truly yours.
