Cliar-t , of Cori-iintiun in Utah.
The following chav-cs of official
corruption in Utah have been imb
hshed by C. Pates, ex-United States
Attorney:
First I aver that most grave
charges of ofiicial corruption against
two United Slates ollieials ofUtah
were preferred to the Attornev-Gon-eral
by telegraph in l.sT ; tlu, eimi'
ges were of sitting in judgment in
mining cases where they ,rtW theia-selre.-i
inlt-rresi'tl , and. that an onler
was issued to invo.-'gatu Hie tdiargt s
ma;h and if found true, to remove
them both; but before the order was
executed, the Pev. lh Newman in
tervened at Loag Pintm-h, and. t!ie
matter w;is dropped. The telegraph-i-
ciiiirges were from a United States
Senator, and were on lde a year ago,
in the department of Justice, and
are there now unless abstracted.
I aver that large peculations of the
mails ami Post Ol'tice have occurred
here since 1 came; in one instance a
package of 610,(:0 being lost; that
time after money orders had be n
stolon, and yet no one has been
prosecuted for these offences. In
one or more instances clerks detect
ed in robbing the mail have been
permitted to go, and crimes, if not
actually condoned, have been over
looked. I do not charge the Special
Mail Agent with any deviation of
duty, but the records of the District
Attorney's ohice and the names of
many witnesses v.ili prove that a very
largo imtuht r of losses have occur
red here, but no single prosecu
tion has ever been made.
I aver that large bo. lies of coal
lanes, worth i i,i-;a v amount of
jiemey. not in market at all, ha o
been illegitimately spirited away
under false pretences, end are now
held again- t" the United Slates as
private property, by a combination
of those who bought them at v'l -"
tier acre, in fraud of the laws of the
L'nitetl States; and that even now
t h is proce-s of robbing the United
Statt s of its coal land is going on.
I aver and eha'-g-- that the timber
lands d n ring the. last eighteen months
have been .stripped in utt"r violation
of the laws of ihe fluted States, and
a circular publis'.u d by me as United
States Distii.-t Attmnev from the

COURTESY
What the Chinese Cost Us.
(From the San Francisco Call.)
In coming to the (Jolt ofhee yester
day morning, through one of our
most populous streets v.e saw in the
basement of the building some lif teen
or twenty Chinese at work on shoes.
This led us to make an estimate as to
the advanta:
or disadvantage
ot
in
liaving this class of population
California.
In the first place we. have about
fifty thousand Chinese in California,
and this fifty thousand reali;e for
their labor at least one dollar per
head each day on an average over
and above the money expended .for
such commodities as they purchase
from our people. Including manu
facturing establishments which are
carried on by Chinese, our e.stimaie
of one dollar as 4-rr.ftls, which are
taken out of the country, is rather
under than over rate. There srcins
no doubt whatever that ftftv thou
sand dollars per day are drawn from j.
this coast tor Cmnesc
;a'oor,
sum of money goes to China, from
whence it never returns. This would,
give us a total tax, for having the
services ed the Chinese, of : I, fOd .;.)
per month or sis-' !(, Odd pe-r annum.
Here is a drain upon the resources of
California, Oregon and Nevada fear
ful to contemplate. This labor, to
a veuy ore-it extent, is a dead loss to
our citizens, for the Chinese do not
erect our dwellings nor leave any
permanent improvements behind.
Neither do they open farm';. .. They
manufacture a few commodities, raise
a few vegetables, and assUt in culti
vating vineyards; but largo numbers
are employed as do;:Kstie servants,
or ex-raet gold from guhd.es. The
work done by the Chinese could, to
a great extent be more ad vautagenus-
l- i ier i in 1 1 e. 1 liv our nwu v.oool,
have an ample labor
supply in
mis .-(liiTe, H li were ut'lir.eo; or we
could tlra.' it from ti;e Kasiern States;
and the motley earned ii. this way
would be saved to C:i! ifornia to stait
man u fact itring estai dis-i ments, erect
dwellings, stort s, etc. A II classes of
p:iillaii.U except the Chinese add to
tie- woahh of the count ry, but lUoiiey
earned by t tie Chinese is carried aw ay.
As we have staled before, this
c'o.i-t is paying tribute for Chinese
labor annually to the amount of some
eighteen millions of dollars. This
m eiey, wo c- 'uiend, could bo saved by
employing another e'ass of labor. If
all would make if a point to employ
workmen who live amongst us are
of us ami invest their means here
instead of sending it to China, the
Shi h? would soon be in a m-t pros
peioiis eondi? hM. Put oil the eoll

Protection for the E-'armer.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
The ninth census a fiords us some
very valuable statistical information
upon which to base anti-tariif argu
ments. It is full of fertile sugges
tion as to the wrongs perpetrated
upon all our people? by the" ctu tln
uanee of the protection system. Es
pecially does it give the farmers
courage in their present crusade for
justice and equal opportunity of
making the most they can out of
their laborious industry. The tables
of occupations, as exhibited in the
census report, reveal that there aiv
l2,."(i-1,Di:j persons engaged in all
pursuits in the United States. Of
these 5. U'2'2, 471 are engaged in agri
culture ami !, 7(57, 121 in manufac
tures. Of agriculturists 2,177,711
are classed as farmers, and are to be
classed as the proprietary class, and
the agricultural laborers number
J.S.So.P'e'd. That is to say, in other
words, the farmers employ a fraction
less than one hand each, in spite of
the fact that the average of farms is
!": acres each.
The number of farms is 2.GoO,SR.",
and the average horse power requir
ed to work each farm of that size
would be nearly five, or, sav 10.000.
000 in all. The census shows that
there are lk510,0."; horses, mules,
and working oxen employed in ag
riculture. Six farmers and farm
laborers, therefore, are all that are
alhnvcd to serve each ten-horse
power employed in agriculture. Of
the 2,707, Til engaged in manufac
tures, tin the other hand, there are
2.0io.!U'i'. who draw wages as labor
ers, wdiile at h ast two thirds of the
remaining fi.":', -!-", the entire propri
etary class in manufactures, must be
presumed to work with their own
hands. Indeed, the census only re
turns -12.N77 persons under the style
of " manufacturers," the rest being
chief. v bosses of small trades and
establishments, v. ho contribute their
own labor to the sum of the gross
product, without claiming deduction
for their own share of wages. These
!.7t)7. till mannfaeturingpersons only
tend 2,:MO,I42 horse-power, and that,
too, as machinery, in a much more
available shape tmm that of the farm
ers. Hence, it rs beyond question
that in point of exertion of mere
brute force the farming class has to
work at least twice as hard as the
manufacturing class. How as to the
rewards secured bv their resja-ciive
labors?
The farming chiss has a gross pro
duct of ;2.-U7,.":?s,;."M. Of this one
third goes to the l-n-ep and feed of
the di .. ":., 27(1, 1-77 worth of stock
which the farmers must maintain,
and to the repair of their S:'..';o.'s78,--120
w orth of machinery, while s-'10,-2do,sfi
are paid in wages. It hence
follows that the 2, '.'77, 711 farmers of
the country divide among themselves
:i proiit ot only about SlOO per cap
ita, with no allowance made for their
own Labor, which is more than half
the total labor bestowed upon their
farms. This, upon the capital in
ve ted in farms, stock, etc., ,11,P3-1,-OdS,717)
is an. interest of about HJs
Tier. cent. To make .i00 a year on
his fi.rm and personal hard work, his
stock, truckings, etc., the farmer is
compelled to put down the wages of
his laborers to a shamefully low rate,
in fact tin: et nsns certifies that the
average pav pier capita, including
board, o" the aeriealtural laborer, is
only ir-'IeY per annum. This, how
eor, is an understatement, since to
go no further, lite board of the la
borer includes lodging also in nine
cases out of ten, our house-rent, and
some other priviliges, w hich increase
the laborer's actual wages, but in
the same measure diminish the farm
er's actual proiit.
The manufacturing class, on the
other hand, has a gross proiit of
t.2:i2.:52.".-142. Prom this is to be
deducted the cost of materials used,
valued at svp--S,.!27,2.2, and the
7 . .Yh.-dY-!4d f w ages paid, leaving
sc.i".s,dl'hS"7 to be divided in the
shape of profits among the (iT:5,-125
persons in manufactures who do not
receive wages. This is a net proiit
of S .1.-100 per capita, or of oer4"
per cent, upon the gross capital of
:'2, lS,i!.s.t;i'. employed in manu
factures. The manufacturer pays
his employes an average annual
wage of Sdh'O, or three times what
the agriculturist is able to pay liis
labeirer.
It is obvious enough from this
statement that the farm hand is not
well enough paid, and just as ob
vious that the employing farmer can
not afford to pay him; and it is a
corollary of ail this, that if there is
any labor in the United States that
needs protection by law, it is farm
labor. Yet how stands the fact of
protection, as at present systemized
in this land of equality and freedom?
The wretchedly inadequate wages of
the poor farm laborer, and the gross
ly insntiicient earnings of the em
ploying farmer are doubly taxed, not
for the uses of the country but for
the benefit of a class. They are first
taxed to cover the enhancement of
tallies in consequence of a depre
ciated currency, and for which en
hancement they have by no means
received a corresponding increase' of
wages. They are then taxed an
.average of fifty per cent, in the price
of almost every thing w hich they buy,
in order that protection may be ex
tended to the industries not of the
2, 0.Yd, ti'dO persons who received w ages
from the manufactures; by any
means, but only to the 0..'3.4-.." per
sons assumed to comprise the pro
prietary class of manufacturers.
The real recipients of all the bene
fits of this protection are stated by
the census to number only 42,S77
persons. Here, then, is a
substantial grievance for the
farmers and the farm laborers, that,
being in such bad case, they should
have to put their noses to the grind
stone to promote any such objects as
W.tw ft-. VrV
we have stated. It is a grievance,
too. the remedy for whkh lies en
tirely within their eontrol,not far toO
seek nor dillicult to applv. So long
as they support the party which is
responsible for the iniquitous tariff,
they must be camteiit to keep their
noses in close proximity to the tra
ditional grind-stone; and so long as
they waste their strength in disjoint
ed effort or in making feints of at
tacks upon railways, leaving ont of
consideration the main eneiny, the
tarili", they cannot reasonably expect
radical relief. The railway corpora
tions are, in their present attitude,
the common enemy of the people;
but in our measures of elefenco
against them, let us not forget tbo
existence of other grievous monopo
lies created by the odious tariff sys
tem. The railway power must be
brought within bounds aid made to
serve where it now tyrannizes; but
the prthibitory tariff must be entire
ly overthrown mid- every industry
left to stand or fall on its own bottom.
A Word for the Granges.
President Welch of the Iowa State c
Agrieultural College, one of the rnost
eiiicient institutions in the whole
country, and located in the Stato
that hits had more experiemee with
Granges than any other, addressed
the Patrons of Husbandry as follows:
Our bond of Union is the conge
niality of like pursuits. The lead
ing purpose of the fumiors' college
and farmers' grange though gained
through different paths, are largely
the same. -The Grange seeks to aid
the farmer by multiplying his means
of intelligence, by giving him tho
mastry of all the better methods and q
processes of the farm, by quickening
intensifying, and elevating all tho
better elements of his social life.
The Grange wcuild secure the farmer
aginst the torpidity of solitude and
the extortions of monopoly; yould
kindle in his breast a readier zeal
and stutlier courage, would touch all
the labors of his hands with a glow
of enthusiasm; and in short, would
do for hinwhat skillfully organized
t il'ort has alreadv done for every
..th
iii at human industry on the
round earth. All this the Grange
alms to do by means which are the
most immed'ate and direct. All this
also the Parmer's College slrivefi-do
do by another method ; by giving a
knowledge to such as will seek it, of
all those practical sciences that un
derlie the processes of agriculture;'
by training and sending forth men
who may become, as the. years pass,
the 1 cutlers in the grand movement
which the Grange has inaugurated.
It is in harmony w ith this noble pur
pose that the (.'oUoo, instead of
draining the rural districts of their
most promising youths and gradu
ating tht in to swell the overcrowded
ranks of law, or to wander in perpet
ual search of a vacant pulj.it, sends
back the farmer's son to the farm, so
educated that he revitalizes all its
oerations and gives them a new and
enduring interest. Such are the be
nign objects which these two great
enterprises are organized to further

the college, on "a closer and more
concentrated plan; the Grange, on a
wider and grander scale. Ami what
eii'ort of man or attainment of good,
or the defense against evil lias ever
reached its iinal triumph, since the
world began, without combined ef

great instrument of progress. Civ

A Cemluctor to lie Trusted.
Chicago "I ri'.ainf I.c-ttrr.
One day, before Cornelius Van
derbilt obtained j.ossession of tho
Hudson Piver railroad, he was trav
eling, it is said, from here to Albany;
and, considering himself aj.riviliged
character, went into the baggage car
to smoke. He had been enjoying his
cigar but two or three minutes when
tho conductor came along, and in
formed him jolitrly that he must
not smoke there. Yanderbilt said
that it wouldn't make any difference
that it was all right, etc.; but tho
conductor was of a different oj.inion
declaring that it was contrary to tho
rules fif the road. o
li You don't know me," said tho
speaker. ' My name is Yanderbilt;
I am sometimes eallenl Commodore.
I generally do about as I please."
" I don't know, nor do I care who
you are, Mr. Yanderbilt. I intend
to obey the rules. If you were ten
times ;i Commodore, I could not
jermit you to smoke here; and you
must go elsewhere to finish your
citrar."'
Tho loyalty to duty displayed by
the conductor j .leased the ancient
Cornelius, and he went out, though
not before he ha 1 said to the con
ductor: " You are the right kind of
a man for your jdace. You don't
respect persons. I think of buying
this road, and if I do you can stay
on it as long as you like."
Yanderbilt did buy the road, and
retained the conductor. He fre-,
quentlv remarked that that man
could be trusted; that he was never
mistaken in judging of character;
and that he knew from the first that
the conductor was sound. 0
The conductor stayed on the road
for five vears, and" in that time, as
the story goes, stole himself into a
j.ceuniary indejiendence.
So much for Yanderbilt's knowl
edge of character. Evidently tho
conductor knew Yanderbilt better
than Yanderbilt knew the conductor.
