FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1894.
A NATIONAL APPEAL. THE American Protective Tariff League in special and extraordinary session on December 16th, responding to the earnest request of wage earners, unanimously agreed that it was necessary to call upon the press of the United States to urge every patriotic citizen to assist in defeating the proposed Wilson Free Trade Tariff, which is now before Congress. If this measure becomes a law, the demand for labor in all productive employments in this country will be decreased. This will reduce the wages and earnings of every man, woman or child among us permanently lower the standard of living in this country and, reduce the purchasing power of our wage earners who constitute the great consuming force in this land. Every person, rich or poor, high or low, old or young, who is not in favor of low wages and less comfort in life, should at once write a postal card to the Congressman from his or her district,protesting against the passage of this bill and demanding that the McKinley Tariff be left unchanged. Write a postal card to-day, and urge every friend of yours to do the same. Perhaps your effort will defeat Free Trade and save Protection.
UKNJAMIJI HABMSON, in his letter of acccptance in 1892, used these prophetic words: "There is not a thoughtful business man in the country who does not know that the enactment into law of the declaration of the Chicago convention upon the subject of the tariff would at once plunge the country into a business convulsion such as has never been seen, and there is not a thoughtful worltingmnn who does not know that it would at once enormously reduce the amount of work to be done in this country by the increase of importations that would follow and necessitate a reduction of his wages to the European standard." Every thoughtful business man now knows from sad experience what the election of a Democratic Congress pledged to the declaration of the Chicago platform means.
THE JOURNAL has received numbers 7, S and 9 of the publications of '.lie Indiana Historical Society. Among the subjects treated we note "Ouiatenon, a study in Indiana History," by I'rof. Craig, of Purdue University
I.ifo of Ziba Foote," by Samuel Morrison. and "The Man in History," by Dr. John Clark Ridpath. The pamplets are published by the liowenMerrill Company, Indianapolis, and sold at prices designed only to cover the cost of publication.
THK New York Tribune observes that the Democratic party is certainly a party of extremes. Under its management of the affairs of the Nation, grain elevators are bursting with wheat, the price of which is the lowest on record the vaults of the banks are bursting with money, the price of which is also low, while the stomachs of the workingmen are pinched by want of work with which to get the money to buy the wheat.
THK sub-committee of Ways and Means has recommended that an addi tional tax of 10 cents per gallon be put on whisky. This is fruit for the Whisky Trust. An addition of 10 cents will put 814,000,000 into its pock ists as the distillers have accumulated over 140,000.000 gallons of spirits which are now in the bonded warehouses.
LAST year the United States imported more than 400,000,000 pounds of beet sugar, three-fourths of which ca ic from (Germany. Every pound of it could be made in this country, and would be if the bounty could be maintained until it expired by limitation of the law, which is July, 1905.
TUB latest estimate places the treasury deficit to be caused by the Wilson bill at 875,000,000. Certainly there never was such a wicked assault on the prosperity of the people.
No "cuckoo" statesman has yet introduced a bill in Congress to "right the great wrong" done to Mr. Cleveland's "great and good friend," Liliuokalani.
Tire unemployed list will be greatly lengthened after the next election by the addition of Democratic Congressmen who vote for the Wilson bill.

that your bones should bleach in this wilderness than that you should prove to be that little speck of decay which in time corrupts the whole fruit. Will you come with us on these terms?" "Guess I'll come with you on any terms," said Ferrier, with such emphasis that the grave elders could not restrain a smile. The leader alone retained hia stern, impressive expression. "Take him, Brother Stangerson," he said, "give him food and drink, and the child likewise. Let it be your task also to teach him our holy creed. Wo have delayed long enough. Forward! On, on to Zion!" "On, on to Zion!" cried the crowd of Mormons, and the words rippled down the long caravan, passing from mouth to mouth until they died away In a dull murmur in the far distance. With a cracking of whips and a creaking of wheels the great wagon got into motion, and soon the whole caravan was winding along once more. The elder to whose care the two waifs had been committed led them to his wagon, where a meal was already awaiting them. "You shall remain here," he said. "In a few days you will have recovered from your fatigues. In the meantime, remember that now and forever you are of our religion. Brigham Young has said it, and he has spoken with the voice of Joseph Smith, which is the voice of God."
CHAPTER II
THE FLOWBR O* UTAH.
This is not the place to commemorate the trials and privations endured by the immigrant Mormons before they came to their final haven. From the shores of the Mississippi to the western slopes of the Rocky mountains they had struggled on with a constancy almost unparalleled iu history. The savage man, and the savage beast, hunger, thirst, fatigue and disease— every impediment which nature could place in the way, had all been overcome with Anglo-Saxon tenacity. Yet the long journey and the accumulated terrors had shaken the hearts of the stoutest among them. There was not one who did not sink upon his knees in heartfelt prayer when they saw the broad valley of Utah bathed in the sunlight beneath them, and learned from the lips of their leader that this was the promised land, and that these virgin acres were to be theirs forevermore.
Young speedily proved himself to be a skillful administrator as well as a resolute chief. Maps were drawn and charts prepared, in which the future city was sketched out. All around farms were apportioned and allotted in proportion to the standing of each individual. The tradesman was put to his trade and the artisan to his calling. In the town streets and squares sprang up as if by magic. In the country there was draining and hedging, jjlanting and clearing, until the next summer saw the whole country golden with tiic wheat crop. Everything prospered in the strange settlement. Above all, the great temple which they had erected in the center of the city grew ever taller and taller. From the first blush of dawn until the closing of the twilight, the clatter of the hammer and the rasp of the saw were never absent from the monument which the immigrants crectcd to Him who had led them safe through many dangers.
The two castaways, John Ferrier and the little girl who had shared his fortunes and had been adopted as his daughter, accompanied the Mormons to the end of their pilgrimage. Little Lucy Ferrier was bomo along pleasantly enough in Elder Stangei-son's wagon, a retreat which she shared with the Mormon's thrco wives and with his son, a headstrong, forward boy of twelve. Having rallied, with the elasticity of childhood, from the shock caused by her mother's death, she soon became a pet with the woJnen, and reconciled herself to this new life in her moving canvas-covered home. In the meantime, Ferrier, having recovered from his privations, distinguished himself as a useful guide and an indefatigable hunter. So rapidly did he gain the esteem of his new companions that when they reached the end of their wanderings it was unanimously agreed that ho should be provided with as large and as fertile a tract of land as any of the settlers, with the exception of Young himself, and of Stangerson, Kimball, Johnston and Drcbber, who were the four principal elders.
On the farm thus acquired John Ferrier built himself a substantial log house, which received so many additions In succeeding years that it grew into a roomy villa. He was a man of a practical turn of mind, keen in his dealings and skillful with his hands. Hisiron constitution enabled him to

WorltTnornlng ana evening oil Improving and tilling his lands. Ilcnce it cams about that his fitrm and all that belonged to liiiu prospered exceedingly. In three years ho was better off than his neighbors, in six ho was well to do, in nine he was rich, and In twelve there were not half a dozen men in the whole of Salt Lake City who could compare with hlin. From the great inland sea to the distant Waheatch mountains there was no name better known than that of John Ferrier.
There was one way, and only one, in which he offended tho susceptibilities of his coreligionists. No argument or persuasion could ever induce him to set -ap a female establishment after the mannor of his companions. He never gave reasons for this persistent refusal, but contented himself by resolutely adhering to his determination. There ro some who accused him of lukewarmness in his adopted religion, and others who put it down to greed of wealth and reluctance to incur expense. Others, again, spoke of some early love affair, and of a fair-haired girl who had pined away on the shores of the Atlantic. Whatever the reason, Ferrier remained strictly celibate. In every other respect he conformed to the religion of the young settlement, and gained the name of being an orthodox and straight-walking man.
Lucy Ferrier grew up within the log house, and assisted her adopted father in all his undertakings. The keen air of the mountains and tho balsamio odor of the pine trees took the place of nurse and mother to the young girl. As year succeeded to your she grew taller and stronger, her cheek more ruddy and her step moro elastic. Mauy a wayfarer upon the high-road which ran by Ferrier's farm felt long-forgot-ten thoughts revive in his mind as he watched her lithe, girlish figurc""tripping through the wheat fields, or met her mounted upon her father's mustang, and managing it with all the ease and grace of a true child of the west. So the bud blossomed into a flower, and the years which saw her father the richest of farmers left her as fair a specimen of American girlhood as could be found on the whole Pacific slope.
It was not the father, however, who first discovered that the child had developed into the woman. It seldom is in 6uch cases. That mysterious change is too subtle and too gradual to be measured by dates. Least of all does tho maiden herself know it until the tone of a voice or the touch of a hand sets her heart thrilling within her, and she learns, with a mixture of pride and of fear, that a new and larger nature has awakened within her. TheVo are few who cannot recall that day and remember the one little Incident which heralded the dawn of a new life. In tho case of Lucy Ferrier the occasion was serious enough in itself, apart from its future influence on her destiny and that of many besides.
It was a warm Juno morning, and the Latterday Saints were as busy as the bees whose hive they have chosen for their emblem. In the fields and in the streets rose the same hum of human industry. Down tho dusty highroads defiled long streams of heavily laden mules, all heading to the west, for the gold fever had broken out in California, and the overland route lay through the city of the elect. There, too, were droves of sheep and bullocks coming in from the out-

lying pasture lands, and trains of tired immigrants, men and horses equally weary of their interminable journey. Through all this motley assemblage, threading her way with the skill of an accomplished rider, there galloped Lucy Ferrier, her fair face flushed with the exercise and her long chestnut liair floating out behind her. She had a commission frqm her father in the city and was dashing in, as she had (lone many a time before, with sj.ll the fearlessness of youth, thinking only of her task and how it was to be performed. The travel-stained adventurers gazed after her in astonishment, and even the unemotional Indians, journoying in with their peltry, relaxed their accustomed stoicism as they marveled at the beauty of the paje-faced tnaiden.

Eruption of the Skin Cured, Ed. Venney, Brac-kville. Ont,, says: "I have used Hrandrelh's l'ills for the past fifteen years and think them the best cathartic and anti-bilious remedy known. For some live years I suffered with an eruption of the skin that gave me great pain and annoyance. I tried different blood remedies, but. although gaining strength the itching was unrelisved. I finally concluded to take a thorough course of Urnndreth's Pills. I took six each '-night for four nights, then five, four, three, two. lessening each time by one, and then for one month took one every night, with the happy result that now my skin is perfectly clear and has been ever since."
